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?

Tk-Maxx
My last weekend/evening retail job I had during my time at uni was at Tk-Maxx in Manchester (when it was under primark for all you mancunians). I absolutely hated it- most managers were wankers (as you often find in these establishments) and they would keep us up to an hour after our finishing time if the shop was tidy- which meant during the week, for 3 days I would often leave my house at 7 to get to uni in Manchester (I lived at home and had an hour and a half commute in the morning) and get home for 11 at night.
It was awful, and often rang in sick at weekend.
Anyway on the eve of my last ever shift, I drank a whole bottle of merlot to myself, was in at 12 and was sick before then, spent an hour in work and decided I wasn't well and went home.
And that, my friends is the only time I've actually ever had to go home from work due to sickness. The moral of the story? Avoid Merlot, especially avoid drink a whole bottle and then going to work the next day.
