I quit my second job. It was fast food, i had a better job lined up. Some guy was training to be the night supervisor, and was making fun of literally everyone not present at the moment with the manager. My friends said they were going bowling, so i left on my break went bowling, called them up and said "i quit, I'm sick of working in that shithole, call the boss and tell him his plans for the night got ruined cause i wanna go bowling"
What quitting stories do you guys have?

I've always given my official 2 week notice and in some cases have stayed on longer to help with the transition.

Not giving a 2 week notice is acceptable if the job sucks and the manager's an asshole.

I think the last one was getting fired but Malcolm shared his quitting story in it, and it was pretty damn great.
I've quit three jobs and all were when I was young and stupid. So keep that in mind, because now I know better.
First job was a helper for a lawn care business. Was 15. Boss was a piece of shit. Paid me 5 and hour to basically do everything while he stood around and talked on his phone or bullshitted with the client. 5 an hour wasn't even minimum wage then (not too far off though). I like having money so I kept doing it for a while even though I felt I should be getting paid a lot more for it. Basically the guy was just supplying the equipment while I did all the work. If anything I should've probably been getting half of the profits. Quit the day he told me the next day was going to be a hard one. I live in Texas, this is in the middle of our summers that can reach 106+ degrees (and with heat index, 120+). "We" (meaning me) were going to be shoveling sand literally all day long. FUCK. THAT. I actually got gratification out of quitting literally less than 12 hours before work was to begin. It meant he got to do it all day by himself.
Next job was a restaurant as a dish washer (which is actually code word for "everything", dish washers are the kitchen's bitches. They need help prepping veggies, you get to help, they need help making dough, you get to help). Anyways, I showed up when I wasn't actually scheduled due to some mix up. I got there manager asked me why I was working, I told her I was scheduled today, she said I wasn't. I asked her if she needed me anyways since I was already there, she said no. I asked her are you sure. She said no. I tell her that I'll have to get my ride to come pick me up, and I won't be able to come back, she says it's fine. This was before I drove, so I called my ride up, which was a good distance to drive. As I'm walking out the door, she tells me someone called in and she needs me. I tell her "sorry, my ride's here, I gotta go". This was a 40 hour a week job. I requested one day the next week, the appointment for my son's first ultrasound. Stupid fucking cunt literally only schedules me for THAT DAY. FUCK THAT SHIT. I quit. I get cutting my hours for not being "dependable" (even though I was and clarified several times she did not need or want me there) but to literally only schedule me for the day off when you knew that was the reason, yeah fuck you. You're a massive cunt.
Third job to quit was sonic. Don't remember why. Only know the baby was coming soon. At the time I know I had some justifiable reason, I just can't recall it. In the end it turned out to be the best decision anyways. Wife had really bad postpartum. She did what she could, I don't mean to discredit her, but I was the one to mostly raise him from birth. If I hadn't quit before he was here, I would of had to quit afterwards anyways.
Mostly just juvenile shit, and I recognize it for what it is.

Some people definitely deserve to have employees quit on them.
@Shroomslip what specifically were you doing in lawncare? Im in that industry now and just curious. Was it for a company or just helping a dude start a bizness straight out da garage? I know you specified shoveling sand, but idk if that was just part of it.

Just lawn care. I don't want to say landscaping because we didn't really build flower beds or plant trees and shit. We mostly just mowed peoples (or businesses) yards and got everything tidy. But he'd take on other jobs like stump removal or leveling areas with sand for above ground pools and shit.
95% of my job was mowing, weedeating and blowing (I really fucking hate to say that, because I now how irresistible it is to say something).
He was one of the more professional "companies" around here, but yes it was just him working out of his garage in the end. We had a truck and trailer full of commercial equipment though. It wasn't just loading up the tools you'd use on your own at home and doing what people were too lazy to do. It was a legitimate/professional business. We had commercial clients, including Hotels and stuff.

u waited inside the joint while u were waiting for ur ride?..
or did u walk out the door right after she said she didnt need u?..
cuz if it was the former i'd say that was ur first mistake, u shoulda just walked out asap

Nope, sat outside waiting on my ride to show up, literally right when they pulled up, she came out and said I need you to stay. In nicer terms I told her "too late bitch". and went home.
I was young and stupid. If that had happened yesterday or something, I would've stayed. But I was 18 when it happened. She told me multiple times she was sure she didn't need me and to go home. Waited til my ride was literally pulling up to change her mind.
Even now I feel justified in what I did, I'm just not stupid enough to think everything is always fair anymore. Even though she was fucked up for what she did, I should've stayed.

About a year ago I left domino's in a very bad note,I used to be a driver. I had a very good relationship with my boss, I used to come late and he wouldn't give me shit for it while he would give shit to other people for doing lesser things than me. He knew I was a trust worthy employee alt ought. I never gave a two weeks notice when I left my job,but this time I decided to give him a two weeks notice by respect (my boss was also leaving domino's since he got a promotion to go work in the HQ in Alberta or something).
So one morning I woke up to late, I rush to domino's about 40 minutes late (nothing out of the unusual for me). Has I arrive at work, I see a car of one my co-worker,her name was Cheryl. She's the type of employee that is 40 years old still working in a dead beat job, trashy type of person. Nobody liked her, she was a lying manipulating frustrated middle aged woman. I knew I was in for trouble!
As soon I cross the door she starts blablering at me about being late,I obviously apologize since I shouldn't of been late in the first place. Then she starts saying I'm drunk, I responded by saying no that I wasn't and that I just woke up and I was in a daze. Then she proceeds to retracts her argument that I am drunk and says that I am high on drugs. She tells me to leave and go home. I explain to her that it wouldn't be a smart decision since I am already here and that you guys obviously need my help. She doesn't want to hear anything I say, at this point I'm getting frustrated of this old run down hag.
Now I tell her: Look if you send me home, I won't finish my two weeks notice and wouldn't come back here. Then she proceeds to say that she doesn't care. She isn't even a boss,she had no power over me what so ever. As I walk away towards the the door I turn around and yell to her "Fuck you slut" in front of her kids (All from different father). She then proceeds to say Pardon me? I ignore her comment and walk out the door,it felt so good.
Then I call my boss and explain what happened and I wouldn't be coming back for the next two weeks and I'm done. He seems a bit disappointing not mad. See him about two weeks later when I go to pick up my check he wasn't even mad.
Cheers,
Bumbaa

I gave my 2 weeks at the worlds shittiest job working for the granny panty giant Hanes. The job itself might not have been so bad, but all of the managers used fear and bullying tactics and were on the worst power trip I've ever seen. The boss would also verbally abuse employees and belittle their struggles because "they don't have children." Not only was that a strange thing to attack young employees about, but some of them DID have kids.
I think I ended up calling my boss a slut, told her she didn't have any special talents just because she got knocked up. I loved seeing her face turn bright red in utter fury. It was pretty sweet, and I honestly think they could have gotten a lot worse from me.

mcdonalds, some hilarious animal went into the bathroom and smeared shit all over the walls and ceiling, and somehow managed to have enough to get it on every single thing except for the toilet, the place had a janitor but the manager told me I had to do it, told her I wasn't, she said it was my job to do as I was told, so I just turned around and walked out because I wasn't cleaning it
boss was a cunt from day one anyway and made this super sweet autistic girl sweep the parking lot all day everyday so she wouldn't be around the customers.

My last job sucked pretty hard. Night shifts and very little appreciation for doing extra. They needed me bad and they once gave me a 5 cent raise. 5 cents. When I quit I just said I quit and left. Felt good about it too.

When I was 15 I worked at a restaurant one time that was across the street from a grocery store. It was real nice if we needed something quick like dinner rolls or more butter. For a while working there I thought I had a red bull addiction cuz I'd buy a 6 pack each night shift and shotgun them all before the end of the night. Anyway this was before I started cooking, I was just a dishwasher at this place and I fucking hated it! One night it was real dam busy and there was a party happening where there was a girl I wanted to hit on so I told the cooks I was gunna bounce over to the grocery store for some red bull and I'd be right back, except I never went back lol. Grabbed my skateboard, bought a red bull, and went to the party. Then I never went back to that restaurant ever again.

I just quit my most recent job. Was supposed to work a double and I woke up and decided I wasn't going back in. That place was such a hell hole. They tried blowing up my phone all day and I just blocked the number
