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?

Revenge.I used to work in a call centre for a well-known energy supplier. It was shit. It was the worst job ever.
The trainers would tell you to "sell sell sell" even if the person had phoned up to complain about service. I'd get yelled at a lot.
Our calls were monitored and if we took so much as a break to yawn we were pulled up on it.
So, after about 3 months of this, I handed in my notice. Had to work 3 weeks, as it was a permanent job.
For the first 2 weeks and 4 days of my notice period, I worked hard as normal, put up with people yelling/cursing/hanging up etc.
Then, on the last day, I come in and do...
Nothing. At all.
My team manager sees me from her desk and says, "LMS, are you... not taking calls?"
"Yep."
"Are you... eating at your desk?"
"Yep."
"Did you just go on an unscheduled break?"
"Oh, yes."
It was the best day ever. There wasn't a thing my manager could do about it, as I'd already handed in my notice weeks ago.
