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?

...yeah......I would have hoped that that behavior had at least begun to die out somewhat. I was somewhat horrified to find myself a target a few years ago.
However, as I pointed out to the ones who made their intentions altogether too clear, whatever money my parents have is theirs and not mine; engineers are subject to layoffs like everyone else, and I've been through a few myself; I only own my house as long as I can make mortgage payments... and when it became readily apparent that I'm not actually wealthy they drifted off on one pretext or another. I can still cook better than most women, can still take care of my own stuff and still have a lot of interests in things like art and music and nature- but the lack of lucre made me far less appealing, apparently. And for that I happen to be extremely grateful.
Fortunately the Lunatic Artist doesn't want me for money that I have or may one day inherit- she wants me for my cooking, my interests and the wild passionate monkey sex. *grin*
