as in something they've done that's stupid.

For instance:

at a trade show many years ago, we were playing the classic (read: stupid) game, 'call him a cunt' at the after-show booze-up.

The idea being that whoever's turn it is is given a target, and they then have to get away with calling the target a cunt to their face, and get away with it. You're not allowed to use the same tactic twice, and the targets have to be more and more important people in the industry as you go along.

Not always as hard as it might sound, and so for the first few rounds we were fine -

"which one of you cunts wants a drink?" that was ben's.

"you are the most hilarious cunt I've ever met," that was mine.

and then it came to Dave, and we picked out a tricky industry figure - wheelchair-bound, son's-wife-stealing head of a massive, massive company which advertised with our own company. He should have backed down and lost the game, but that meant buying drinks all night.

So he approached said target, who was surrounded by an entourage, just as said target was telling a joke. The entourage all did the obligatory 'brown-nosing OTT laugh,' and Dave, drunk and flailing for the right words, said:

"hahahahaha! you wheeled cunt, that was brilliant."

tell me your stories about how people got themselves fired.
