‘They bout to fire me’: Georgia woman gets hired to deliver for Amazon. Then she does the unthinkable with the van 4 days in
Everyone makes mistakes. But for Georgia woman and Amazon worker Kebabii (@kebabii2), this one mistake might have been a step too far.
In the viral clip, which has amassed 2.9 million views, Kebabii showed viewers the Amazon van that she somehow wedged into a 6ft 10 tall clearance. “Y’all, they about to fire the [expletive] out of my [expletive],” she said.
Panning the camera around the van, she continued: “Look what the [expletive] I done did. Look at the clearance. Six foot ten inches. I know this truck [is] about a good eight, nine, feet y’all. What the [expletive]?”
She then informed viewers that she broke a camera in the complex, while the side of the van was visibly busted, with a huge scratch across the side. Part of the van’s exterior was also missing.
“They about to [expletive] fire me,” she repeated. “Oh, Lord, it’s only the fourth day at work.”
But that wasn’t the only damage. In the comments, Kebabii revealed that she also damaged the top of the van.
What did commenters say?
One commenter was confused by the mechanics of the accident, asking: “How’d you get all the way in?”
Several suggested she let the air out of her tires and back out, with a second advising: “You can go to a gas station and just sit them back up lol”
While a third added, “Just reverse it slowly and act as if nothing happened, they can’t see the top!”
Others were shocked at the state of the van, with a fourth saying, “That van been through enough,” and a fifth asking, “Girl, what happened to the side of the van?”
Meanwhile, a sixth then asked the obvious question: “If you knew the clearance, why would you attempt it?”
The TikToker issued some follow-ups
Sadly, in a follow-up video, Kebabii confirmed that her instincts were right: she was fired.
“Well, they fired me!” she announced, addressing the camera directly in her Amazon uniform. “They took my badge as soon as I got back in the building, ya’ll.”
“What the [expletive], what the [expletive]!” she repeated. “Back at [expletive] square one.”
“So y’all, they fired me,” she said in a second follow-up. “If you didn’t see my previous video, because I went into a parking garage in a nine-foot truck, and the clearance was six feet. It was a mistake. It was an accident.”
Kebabii then went on to claim that she asked another Amazon employee if she’d be able to fit the van under the clearance, and they said yes.
“So I said, ‘Oh, OK,’ he did it, so I can do it. But as soon as I’m going over everything, I’m going up the little ramp a little bit, everything [is] going smoothly. Then I started hearing something scraping. And it’s like the car with the truck was getting harder to move. I said, ‘What the [expletive] is this?’ What the [expletive]?’ Next thing you know, I hit a camera in the complex.”
Kebabii didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via TikTok comment.

Does Amazon fire you for accidents?
Kebabii’s situation is not unique. Multiple Redditors took to the r/AmazonDSPDrivers subreddit and shared how they were fired after damaging their vans.
“I know they can fire you for just about anything, but I kinda expected a little bit of understanding from them, idk, since it’s the first time I did anything wrong and I told them instead of trying to fix it or hide it or anything,” one Reddit user wrote. “I even told them I could fix the damage which I could’ve done on my lunch break, and they’d never know, but I’m an honest guy fr.”
Another ex-employee added: “There are people here who have totalled vehicles in their fault accidents that are still here. I don’t understand why this happened, and I got no warning whatsoever. I just got told by two different employees after telling them the situation, ‘Don’t worry about it, accidents happen, you’re not gonna get fired as long as you told them.’ People telling me how they hit things all the time and didn’t even get cited for it.”
Amazon’s DSP department didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via TikTok comment.
