Chloe Fineman didn't leave her old camp counseling gig on the best terms.

The comedian shocked her *Saturday Night Live* castmates when she recently recounted a cringe-worthy story about her ungraceful exit from her high school job.

"What job was I fired from and later rehired by? Bonus: Why was I fired?" Fineman asked her costars Mikey Day, James Austin Johnson, Ashley Padilla, Sarah Sherman, and Jane Wickline during an episode of *Vanity Fair*'s "Game Show" series.

"Definitely racially insensitive comments," Day joked.

"How old were you?" Padilla asked.

"I was 16," Fineman answered.

After the comedians guessed that she was canned from a restaurant or retail job, Fineman revealed the truth.

"I was fired as a camp counselor," she said.

"For hitting on the campers?" Day joked.

"No, I pantsed a boy," Fineman responded.

Shocked, Padilla exclaimed, "Oh, honey! I think you're on a list somewhere!"

"He wasn't wearing underpants," Fineman continued. "And then a giant school bus drove by. And they were like, 'You can't' — 'cause he would lift my shirt at the time."

Incredulous, Johnson asked, "What is happening?"

Fineman attempted to defend herself. "It was Berkeley!"

Day then asked, "How old was the child?"

"He was like 6," Fineman revealed, at which point Padilla gasped and covered her mouth.

"No, it was a different time!" Fineman insisted. "Like, he would be like, 'Hey, can I have a hug?' And I'd go to hug him and then he'd lift my shirt, like a dick."

Fineman continued, trying to justify the incident as an act of retaliation. "I was like, 'I'm gonna get back at you,'" she recalled thinking at the time. "And so we were on a hike, and I was like, 'Hey, Ollie, go over there. It's a hawk!' And he looked, and then I yanked his pants down. He wasn't wearing underwear."

"His little ding-a-ling was out," she added, "and then these two twins were like, 'Ollie, I didn't know you didn't wear underwear!' And then I was fired."

Fineman went on to detail other crazy incidents from her past, including the moment she appeared on *The Late Show* to perform a birdcall along with her classmates — a tradition at her school.

"I'm done with this Berkeley mess," Johnson said. "Every time you tell us another Berkeley childhood story, I'm like, 'What the hell?' You grew up in a Dr. Seuss planet."

After Fineman said she is banned from a major retailer, Padilla asked, "Wait, what? You're banned from somewhere?"

Asked Day, "What is this life of crime that I wasn't aware of?"

"I was banned from the downtown L.A. Target 'cause I was returning things too much," Fineman said. "They were like, 'You have to stop.' And I had a talking-to."
