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?

So let me get this straight.You're employed, you have lots of free time, and you want to give it up for 20% less money just because you feel you're not making a significant contribution to the world? You sir, are completely insane!!!
If you’re worried about making a contribution to the world, spend the free time writing a book, working on an open-source project, or even bringing to life that idea for a computer-game you’ve got floating round your head or anything that will make you feel like you’re making a contribution (even posting on b3ta gives you an opportunity to put a smile on people’s faces). This is a pretty unique opportunity – don’t waste it!
If you later get given some work to do and you don’t like the direction the company is heading in, you can always resign later. At least you won’t have a gap on your CV.
