Over summer break in HS, I worked at McDonald's. On my next to last day there, I took sick while at work. I told the shift manager I want feeling well and needed to go home. She said, "ok see you tomorrow".
When I came in the next day, my last day, she met me at the door and told me I don't work there anymore. I told her today is my last day, and she told me, "no, yesterday was your last day. I fired you for unauthorized absence". She literally stood there and told me she didn't give me permission to leave the day before! I don't remember what I said after that, just that I went home pissed that I was going to miss a day of pay when I was looking forward to buying a new bike.

The 2nd and only other time I was fired was my fault. I oversold myself on my resume, aced the interview, and over the course of a couple months it was painfully obvious I didn't know what I was doing. When they called me in the office to let me go, I actually thanked them for saving me making a bigger fool of myself than I already had.
