Drunk during office hours.

One of the quickest ways to get fired is probably to get drunk during lunch. If you are out to lunch with that big important customer it isn’t wrong to take a glass of wine to celebrate the new contract but don’t overdo it.

Blame others for your mistakes.

Take responsibility for your actions and admit your mistakes. Don’t try to muffle them away and don’t put the blame on others. The truth will bite you in the ass and no one trusts a liar.
