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?

Mensa made me remember this one:I was in high school and I WANTED to work in a bike shop. I was BIG into cycling (road bikes) and figured working there I would get a discount and learn more about bikes.
So I went in, and as the manager knew me because I was in there every few weeks looking at the new Panasonic bikes (they dont make them anymore) I said "You guys looking for employees?"
He said "You mean Your looking for a job?!" and I said "Yep."
He said "I will set up an interview for you with the big boss tomorrow at 4:30."
SO I show up, meet the big boss, everything went well and then he said "Can you put a bike together for me so I know you know your way around a ten-speed?"
I did it in like 20 minutes. Best time ever I was told.
I shook his hand and went home, expecting them to call and offer me the job.
Two weeks: nothing. I needed some new tubes for my tires and went in and the manager guy that set the whole thing up says "Um, where have you been? We've had you on the schedule all week!" (he even showed me the chalkboard schedule with my name on it!)
I said "Well, if thats the way you guys notify people they've been hired, I think I quit."

Not DorsetBUt apparently all the gits that run bike shops are all the same, regardless of continent. This was in the relatively affluent suburb of Severna Park, Maryland where I great up. What an ass that guy was! And you know, I NEVER went in there to buy ANYthing ever again.
And yeah, you're right Flirting: I SHOULD have read their mind. BAD Citadel!
