So I got a new job and will be quitting my current job today. Anybody have any epic "quitting your job" stories?
-
I got in a fight with my boss on a roof when I had a roofing job. That was my last day of that job.

When I first got out of high school, moved out of my small town and into the city I got a job as a developmental disability counselor (18 year kid). It was pretty fucking easy and I was paid decently. I was taking behavioral science shit in school to coordinate with it. After a weird week and a break up I found an ad about "alarm installations make $$$$$". "Five dollar signs," I thought, "I only make four." So I stopped showing up to work to start this other job. As someone who isn't a 19 year old kid from a small town you probably could guess this was a terrible scam.
I started this job which was going door to door selling alarm systems. That lasted 4 days and I told them to fuck themselves after I was chased down the street by a vato and sold a total of 1 system. I tried to get back in developmental disability thing and the whole of it told me to fuck myself because I did the no show thing.
Now, I'm just some immigrant farmer. Things went so very wrong the last 10 years.

I worked a crazy traveling job for three years and got fed up with the company and the work I was doing so I quit and have been basically partying and slaying pussy the past 5 months. I don't miss working at all yet.
Maybe being a bum isn't all that bad.
-
weren't you bitching about not getting laid in another thread?
-
It's happened more frequently now than it did when I was working. I still don't have a whole lot, though, don't get me wrong. Each time I do though, it seems to come with a weird story behind it.

Really dumb but there's this line in ECD 3 where a guy yells I bought milk! My friends and I used to yell it at each other (I was about 17 at the time). Anyways, I had this terrible job waiting table's for an El Salvadoran who owned an Italian restaurant. Money was shit, he was an asshole, etc. One of my friends had already quit in spectacular fashion after one shift washing dishes.
Anyways school was about to start back up and I already knew I was leaving so one night during dinner service he was being a real dick so I just pulled off my apron, threw it on the ground, and yelled I BOUGHT MILK at him and peaced out. His grasp of English was minimal at best so I still can't imagine what he thought had happened. There were only 2 table's in there but I'd love to have seen their reactions. He called my house for about two months offering me shifts after being repeatedly told I had another job.

So way back in the day I was in the Navy, and I was supposed to get out December 28th, 2003. I had been negoitaing re-enlisting and had orders to a ship, a school worked out, re-enlistment bonus (something like$15K), the whole nine. The detaier and my local retention guy had been working on this for like four months.
Because of Christmas and what not, I was supposed to re-enlist December 23rd. Well, after talking to my wife, and looking at the way my orders worked out, I was going to be gone for like 9 months straight, and 11 out of the next 12 months total, so I tried to get out of the school, which would have knocked 4 months off of that. My detailer wasn't hearing that.
I walked into work December 21st (about) and told them to go fuck themselves. If you know anything about the Navy, you can't just get out in two days, so they had to extend me to January 28th, and it was still a clusterfuck trying to get all the checkout stuff done.
So like six years later, right after I had graduated from university, I had gotten a job at Sam's Club to keep me busy while I looked for a legit job. I was there for about three weeks when I got the call offering me my current job while I was at work.
At the end of the shift, I found the manager on duty, and handed him my blue vest and box cutter, and told him that I wasn't going to be pulling boxes anymore because I was going to be a Mechanical Engineer at a nuclear shipyard. Dude was cool as shit about it and asked me politely to come back the next day and talk to the grocery manager. I did, and she was cool as shit too (even put in my file that I was eligible for re-employment).

i chopped my bosses head off with a katana, he was being a dick
-
Everyone was cool with it, I assume?
-
Did you quit before or afterwards?
-
not that epic but I'll share.
I was a dishwasher at this shitty supper club. The dickhead chefs told me I needed to work longer hours on saturdays. Without saying a word, I wheeled out the trash can to the dumpster, threw my shirt in and drove home.
I also got fired from walmart for calling in sick to ride my buddies skatepark opening day. fuckin fuckers!

somebody has to have shit on the floor and walked out

I worked at a Toys R Us during high school and uni. Kids used to randomly dump in the store every now and then. Of course they would jet and some staff would have their day fucked up. Maybe it was actually staff. Maybe they were standing around the corner, watching while breathing heavily just getting off on a teenager playing with their shit.

Considering quitting my job to ride bikes and sit around watching House.
-
I've worked the notice period of every job ive left, what a sad fuck.

I'm pretty tired of my job/debt. Kinda want to sell my camera shit, pay off some debt and move to a place with a bit more snow. I'm a pussy though so it won't happen.

No. I just like to snowboard.
-
Not worth it.

No, it's definitely worth it. I was riding kirkwood Sunday. Man I missed snowboarding! Dropped some cliffs and shredded through some chutes.
Nick, I feel for you and the Midwest hills. Hope you get out to the Tetons or Rockys!
-
I like to snowboard too but I'd be happy to never see snow again.

I'll be quitting my job soon. I'm a kitchen porter/FOH and they have me on a fixed weekly salary. They've been sneaking in extra hours here and there and the pay hasn't changed. Used to make out like a bandit with tips every day as we would split them between whoever was working (2-3 people), but they've hired 3 more staff and the tips haven't increased.
It was a great job for the last year and a half but I think its time for a change of scenery. Gonna see if I can get a bike messenger gig for the time being. I think I'd enjoy it. In fairness my 40 minute cycle to work has been the most enjoyable part of the day for the last few weeks. Even in the pissing rain.

A friend of mine is working at Kirkwood for the season and I'm super jealous.
Snowboarding is weak in Michigan. Unless you're super into rails, and as I get older I'm more interested in doing a big slash over a lip slide. Not even having any real snow on the ground is lame, can't do street stuff and can't take my dog shredding down a hill next to my house. I've been trying to apply for some jobs in Colorado lately, would be rad if something worked out.

You obviously have never done a method grab.

I quit my shitty nightclub job last month, it was fucking liberating.
I called up my cunt boss and told her I was on a bus to London and wasn't going to be in because I had better things to do.
She even called me up the next day asking if I wanted to work this shitty house night, I told her to get fucked.
Working for twats on minimum wage till 5-6am in the morning is not cool.

I was 18, just out of high school and had a job at a pizza place where I'd been since I was about 16. First job and all that. Anyway, I got a last-minute opportunity to go on a spring snowboarding road trip (hands down the best time of year for anybody who likes to ride park), and being a little 18-year-old shithead, decided to pull a ''no-call, no-show'' for work.
Long story short, I coincidentally ended up seeing some coworkers on the mountain and mentioning, in a completely non-serious fashion, ''Yeah, just tell Annie (the manager) that I burned up in a car wreck or something (lolzzzz, I know, not funny in retrospect).'' Little did I know that they decided to take that comment seriously....
To say the least, Annie was a little freaked out when I showed up to say hi and apologize about 6 months later.

I wanna quit but I work at my family's business. FML.

punched a foreman before and had a job the next day, love tis trade work is abundant.

I once worked as a dish monkey at this hotel that did banquets and had another restaurant. One night the other dishwasher didn't show up on a night that had 2 weddings so I worked from 3-3. This hotel had an ancient dishwasher that had a conveyer belt so I turned off the hot water and ran myself through the machine then proceeded to leave a dirty pair of britches in the change room with a little mud monkey on top. At the time I was still working at a bike shop so I couldn't give 2/5ths of a fuck about that job.
