I Quit!
Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

Wish You Were Here?
Just remembered about a bloke from my last place of work. He took 3 weeks off for a brief jaunt around Europe with his wife, all this was done legally and it was part of his holiday entitlement, but the fact it was for 3 weeks in a row pissed off some of the managment at the office (Another reason behind this was that the tekky guy in question was one of the more qualified tekkys and some clueless sales bod had agreed to start a new system install for a pretty large client during the time tekky guy was away). The managment tried everything they could to cancel this blokes time off or at least limit it to 2 weeks and pissed him off no end with their pettyness (is pettyness a real word?).
Anywhoo tekky bloke goes on holiday and after his first week we recieve a postcard from him in Germany saying something along the lines of:
Having a great time drinking too much (as usual), please accept this as my two week notification of resignation.
Regards
Tekkybloke
A photocopy of this postcard was stuck to the noticeboard in the staff room even after I left the company.
Apologies for crap retelling of a decent story
