when i was little and my dad came home and told my mom he fired someone from i work, i always thought he through them into a fire place and burned them so i would start crying when i watched tv and a guy told his employee he was fired, i thought they would get burned up
A childhood belief about work
you weren't the only one
51 of you believed this
- I used to think that being fired meant they set you on fire.
Or they just chopped off your head.Anon - I used to believe that when a person was "fired" from their job, that they were literally burned at the stake.Anon
- The first time i heard of someone getting fired from a job, i thought that they were actually set on fire.Anon
- I used to believe that when someone said they had been fired, they had been lit on fire. — Tammy
