What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?

I worked in a glasshouse for a while. Since everything is glass, and the temperature is pretty high, the new guy went to change his pants from long ones to short ones. The son of the boss, who just started recently, decided he did not like it and fired him on the spot.

I thought it was really stupid. Unfortunately there was no talking him out of it. The guy was hard to work with, and part of the reason I quit that job later.

the new guy went to change his pants from long ones to short ones.

Wait so was he fired for wearing short pants, for leaving with the intention of changing his pants, or because (the reason I initially thought the glass was relevant) the new guy changed his pants within view of the boss's son through the glass walls?

It was because he went to the changing rooms to change his pants. So he was away from work like maybe 10 minutes.
