What's the most ridiculous reasons you've been written up or terminated at a job?[serious]

I was working on my computer when the owner of the company walked by and glanced at my screen. He was the kind of guy who took pride in being labeled a hot blooded Italian, and took great pains to foster that impression in people. He immediately ran into my office and began a long tirade about how I was goofing off. He had seen my screen and knew what the program I should be using looked like and that was not the program I should have been using and if I didn't get back to work I was going to be fired. He was the kind of boss if you tried to defend yourself and ended up making him look like an ass you'd find yourself out on the street, so I said nothing. He then went and talked to my supervisor and a short while later I was called into my supervisor's office and written up for goofing off on company time.

I was working as a drafter for the company that had been using 2D AutoCAD for years and I had been petitioning the company to buy a couple seats of SolidWorks since the day I was hired. About a year into my employment there the company finally plopped down $17,000 to buy three seats of SolidWorks. Less than a week later the boss walked by my office and glanced at my screen and saw me using SolidWorks instead of AutoCAD and I was written up for it.
