This is a question 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?

glazing: OVER!
i once worked for a total of 2 days at a prolific double-glazing firm.
for my training i was plonked down with a girl who was 'gonna be a top model yeah, like jordan *chews gum loudly with mouth open, flicks hair*
she did 5 calls which were like 'hi there, *chew chew* it's lisa from angly ann windows, just calling to *click*....
after five, i was sat in front of my own phone, given a list of numbers and names, and told to get on with it. so the first day went.. well i guess. no-one threatened to find my house and disembowel me with a garden fork, so that was nice. no-one got much past my name and employer to be honest.
day two rolls around, and about the twentieth person goes 'actually yeah, i'm looking to gte the whole house redone, can you give me a quote? i was like. ummm... not personally but i can pass you to someone who can.. *loooks round office, sees no-one else is about*
well, actually i can't.
well can you get someone to come out and give us an estimate?
*looks round for pen/paper/forms- nothing*
well, not right at this time, but someone can call you back to discuss it further?

'well... can i ask what exactly the purpose of this call is if you can't actually do anything other than get someone to ring me again?'


'that's a bloody good point right there!'
*gets coat, leaves.*

Those Fuckers...
Haha, I worked for these guys in Cambridge, my training was even worse than yours.

The australian manager sat me at my desk with a box of numbers and names, and said here's your speech call them.

I lasted about 5 minutes.
