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?

Work Experience Reggae1995 and it was Secondary school work experience. I was/am a musical person who requested a music position and so the careers advisor (everyone I've met is completely useless) said "I've tried very hard to find you a music position in a company and I think you'll be pleased!"
I sat there slightly nervous but excited.
Go to this address next Monday, be smart, polite and remember you are an amabassador for the school. "Okay sir, thanks!"
Got there the monday morning. He had sent me to a warehouse distributing music cd's......
I was slightly miffed, but I thought oh well if its for my own good, I started gritting my teeth and went in and had to pretend to like football and nervous laugh at every blokey comment. I had to endure this for a week. I had never worked before, especially in a testosterone filled atmosphere, and it was HARD. Never wanted to go in the mornings, but after a couple of days I started getting into a routine and trying to hide from the gaffer.
It was succesful until he found me leaning on the broomstick and he told me off. I cried in a corner and nearly lost it and ran home. I stayed, had lunch and cheered up a bit. I got to the end of the week thinking thank baby jesus on the cross I had finished. I had heard rumours of some of the other kids in my class getting big payouts for there work, like £100 and £50 etc...the boss took me upstairs into the office. I was thinking this is where I can buy several AMiga games at once! YES! Weekend sorted!
He opened a box and brought out two CD's.
These CD's were
100% Reggae.
The best of The Seekers.
I got home and was very upset.
I invited my mate round to listen to the discs. We decided to set fire to them over the woods, I cracked open a lighter and sprinkled fluid over them and my mate ran from the kitchen with a lit piece of paper from the oven. Why we did it in that order I don't know. But it set fire to them and we sniffed the burning plastic. He said to me "never mind its finished now, just enjoy getting high man"
So Work Experience is SHITTT!!!!
Blazed. Kiss.
