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?

I've quit a couple
And been fired once (well, I was working as a mushroom picker, was rubbish at it, and they simply didn't give me any more shifts). Both times I quit were from pubs.
1) The Rupert Brooke, Grantchester, Cambs. Landlords were dodgy (I was paid cash in hand, but they deducted the amount I should pay for NI and pocketed it), the chef a psycho, and when I asked for my weekend off because my mother was having a nervous breakdown, they refused. So I said "well, I'm off then" and drove back home.
2) A place in London that I'm not going to go into any more detail about. The bouncers were perverts (naturally) and we got sent to help out at other pubs in the same chain, where it turned out that they were low on staff because the locals kept attacking them and putting them in hospital. I also seduced a colleague and a regular, which made the landlord jealous as he didn't get anywhere with me, so he turned into (more of) a twat. I quit when I realised that my mental health was less than perfect, and that my job was a major contributor to that (details may be given some other time).
