When I saw this story I couldn’t help but think about the Seinfeld episode in which George tries to get fired from his job with the New York Yankees so he can take a job with the New York Mets. Of course, George fails so he isn’t let out of his contract and another person gets the job.
As for the man in the story below, I gotta give him points for chutzpah.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A restaurant worker was accused of trashing the place in an attempt to get fired and collect unemployment compensation. A criminal complaint filed Thursday said a 35-year-old man showed up at a Qdoba restaurant and started throwing brownies and cookies on the floor.
The man then went into the kitchen and threw pots and pans around, then went into a storage area and threw boxes of hot sauce on the floor.
Police said the man told them he was trying to get fired and couldn't collect unemployment if he simply quit.
