Ooo
My current job - I work for Ahem, no comment - I left them in June 2006 which was something I was planning to do anyway. I'd been offered a job and was working out how to quit tactfully - I'd been stressed and pretty much pissed off about the job and was looking for a reason to go anyway.

Anyhoo.

I was always good with my expenses and generally kept on top of them - At one point, I'd been summoned to London for a 1 hour pointless meeting by "Mr A" - fair enough - but when I came to claim expenses, "Mr A" was my approver... The total expense claim was over £2k and "Mr A" rejected the lot as I "Hadn't put any narrative on the expense claim" and then laughed in my face - needless to say I was furious (I'd had a bad day anyway) and told him that "In that case, screw you, I quit" - He laughed some more.

I mentioned all this to my manager and said, I'm sorry "Mr B", but I've had enough of all this and "I quit" - I was polite about it all too.

On the face of it, it looked like I quit over the expenses, but I had the job lined up anyway :) - The whole truth came out anyway but the grandstanding was over and that was all I wanted to do anyway :)

Funnily enough - 14 months later, after getting "released" from a probation with company "Y" (Bunch of tossers) - I went back to the old job on more money and am still there now :)
