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?

And then there was the timeI'd been working for a company for 7 years (a personal best)and they were bought out by a rival. I could see the way things were going: we'd spent £5 million on new equipment yet the company was sold for £8 million.
I had secured a position with another firm and had a month notice to serve, but there was lots of shit jobs that needed doing, so I pretended I'd broken my arm.
I told them I had a sick note, but as I was signed off for four weeks it would be better all round if I came in to work and just did light duties in the office rather that claim the full rate sick pay.
Cue lots of tea and sympathy from the office totty while I watched the new owners dismantle the company around us.
I spent most of the time on t'Internet searching for new jobs for my soon-to-be-redundant colleagues.
I missed out on the redundancy pay having handed my notice in two weeks before the official announcement, but was amply rewarded at my leaving do in ways I cannot mention here.
