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?

GreaseI quit my school play, 'Grease' when I was fifteen because I was bored, busy and had been asked to wear a stupid costume. I was never a fan of Grease anyway, I'm not sure why I auditioned in the first place.
I was one of six backing singers, our costume involved an electric pink skirt with crochets and quavers all over it. It looked tasteless and tacky, it was as static as a badger that had been blow-dried and we were expected to make them ourselves, in the spare time we no longer had because it was all dedicated to the play.
I was given the soprano part which was straining my voice, so I could barely speak when it came to telling the drama teacher, a week before the opening night, that I was quitting. I could have said what I really thought i.e. that she was a dictator in the style of Mussolini, that the play made me retch and the costumes were disgusting.
What I actually said was "really sorry... Geography coursework...have to concentrate on my studies"
She wasn't even cross!
