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?

TelesalesI had a job doing telesales once. On my first day, 15 minutes after I had started calling people I had already started to pick up the phone and do pretend calls (if no one is on the othetr end, no one is angry). I decided this would be a pretty boring thing to do for the next 5 hours, so I told my boss (who was a total babe, and seemed really nice) that I was going to the loo and walked away.
The only problem was, I was actually counting on my mum for a lift home, and did not yet own a mobile phone or any money. I went to the local library and chilled out all day (getting very hungry), and then went back to the building where I "worked" when I was supposed to be finishing. As my luck would have it, my boss was apparently supposed to finish at the same time as me, and left the building as I was waiting for my mum. I just stared hard at the ground, but she called out my name and told me not to worry, as apparently it happens all the time (people bailing I assume).
Also, they put the area code for another state (i'm in Aus) programmed into the phone, so you can't call your mates and for numbers to call I was given a page ripped out of the Melbourne telephone directory.
