Getting fired from your job is horrible but this guy made his day so much worse by his reaction to the situation.

Getting Fired Is Not A Good Experience

I honestly don't wish that fate on anyone. Getting fired is a horrible experience. Especially, if you've put in a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and time into that job. Some people in Illinois can handle it well. They just move on to the next thing. Others lose their mind and don't handle it well at all. This is the perfect example of a bad reaction.

Bad Reaction To Losing Job In Illinois

The incident happened in Lake County. This is how the bad day started for our subject. He went to work at a local mechanic shop and was fired. He was not happy with his boss's decision so he began yelling and threatening everyone in the business. Then he took off.

According to patch.com,

The former employee returned a little while later and demanded to speak with his old boss. They just tried to ignore him. He started getting angry at his former employer so revenge was on his mind. He grabbed a can of gas and started pouring it all over the outside of the shop and the owner's motorcycle.

The suspect was planning on burning everything down. He started with the bike which completely went up in flames. The firefighters were able to put out the blaze before it reached the building. The former employee was arrested. He probably could've handled that in a much better way.
