Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML
Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, my boss decided our 4 year relationship was unethical, so she broke up with me, then terminated my employment. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, someone had been stealing my brownie at work every day, so I sprinkled cocolax on one and waited to find out who the culprit was. Turns out it was my manager. Needless to say, I'm fired. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML

Please ignore the idiots saying that you're screwed because you live in a Right To Work state. That has absolutely nothing to do with what grounds you can be terminated on. All it means is that you have the right to work regardless of union membership, and that if you work somewhere that a union has negotiated pay/benefits for, you do not need to pay fees to the union. What might get you in trouble is the concept of At Will employment. But this doesn't mean you're screwed just because this isn't an issue of protected class! In fact, legally speaking, there are cases where you can be wrongly terminated. For instance: if your employer has specific rules for the termination process (most do, to help protect against discrimination lawsuits), you may have a lawsuit if they did not follow the process. But, yeah. Basically this has fuckall to do with Right To Work and everything to do with At Will employment. If it bugs you, talk to a lawyer. Otherwise… eh.

Were you that bad of an employee that cookies saved your ass? Oh well. At-will employment sucks, but it wasn't discrimination in this so you really have no case.

If your work has an H.R talk to them he can't fire you for that.

Sue him for wrongful termination.
