At what point did you just say "Fuck it" and quit your job?

This questions pertains to shitty jobs you've had in the past. One day you get so fed up with the bullshit and just say "I'm out!" Tell me your story.

Fell asleep in the lunch room, went home when I woke up and never went back. Another time I felt physically sick from the repetition of the job and walked out on the spot and never returned. Another time I had to get up at 5AM and decided the job wasn't worth it.
All of these were low level min wage factory type jobs.

Depends on the job and my ability to replace said job...
One restaurant I worked at for several months, being too young to realize how easy I could find something better, I put up with unreasonable bullshit for about 6 months. My fiance was a manager and the owner would intentionally schedule us so we couldn't spend time together (for the last month), as well as constantly harassing myself and everyone else.
Most of the crew quit because of this miserable bitch, and she admitted to my ladyfriend that she would intentionally harass people unto quitting. We're down to 3 cooks, two of which would cover the night shift, while I covered morning and early afternoon - doing most of the prep work, prepping shit on the fly in the middle of throwing together 8 tickets, washing all my dishes, everything in a busy kitchen. The owner even lied about giving me a raise. At some point my fiance actually took her side in some absurd issue, so I broke things off with her, you don't take side's against family with someone who is essentially an enemy.
Something like two days later, I was absurdly busy, running the whole BOH operation by myself, including last nights prep work which was not done; and the owner gets on my ass about dishes not being done. My ex comes back and gives me an attitude about the dishes, then goes back to the front to stand behind the counter.
So I let myself fall behind, let shit build up, then spent about 20 minutes chewing out the owner in the dining room (full of customers), before grabbing my shit and walking out the door. There were no other cooks on schedule for hours.
She went out of business within a season, I replaced that job in less than a week.

ill share my story... they're not that crazy but anyway.
one time i had a custodial job where i had to wake up at 5 in the morning everyday. 7 FUCKING DAYS A WEEK. I was cleaning the parking lot and surrounding wooded area outside of this bar that was pretty popular amongst a young college crowd. found a lot of pretty cool shit. even found some money a few times. A LOT OF quarters and other loose change. Found an armani exchange watch, oakley sun glasses, and so on. I'd always take naps when I had this job, which I never do. One day I just was like fuck this shit, waking up at 5 am every single day. Fuck it. So I quit... the cleaning company who was hired by the bar practically begged me to stay and tried to guilt trip me that they'd have to have this old lady do it. I was like nah.
Another time I was working at this construction job cleaning up houses/apartments/buildings that had gotten burnt to hell by accidental fires. it was kind of a cool job in a way, we got to keep whatever we wanted inside the house that we found because insurance company paid for everything and got to smash the shit out of dry wall and what not. it was pretty crazy to go inside a house that was completely destroyed by a fire and think, wow someone used to live in this house... literally pretty much all of their belongings were destroyed by the fire. when id go home id blow my nose and cough up black loogies it was so bad for my health. i also quit because i couldnt stand the people i was working with. mostly inner city teenagers. one time the boss's son came to work so doped up on heroin and got into a fight with one of the supervisors. it was like wow these people are fucking losers i cant stand to be around these jerks. (all of them were huge assholes) i nearly got into a fight with some 40 year old skinny crackhead. i just quit after one of the jobs we had to do.
another time i quit a job working at this pizza place because it was so under staffed i had to do so much shit. scrub dishes and other cooking utensils, prep the kitchen, clean the kitchen, make dough and prepare other ingredients for the pizza, so on and so forth. one night i was just like fuck this shit hole and i called the boss the next morning telling him i quit. i also really wanted to go to an upcoming music festival and having that job i knew i wouldnt be able to get the days off. that was part of why i quit.

friend got me a job at an auto-parts warehouse in a shitty part of town
there were a lot of issues, but i could tolerate them since overtime was encouraged. we clocked in at 4am most days, 5am on weekends. one weekday, my 25th birthday actually, we had a couple inches of snow + 1/2" ice underneath, and one of the managers was sick. i show up at 4am....no one. wait till 4:30....no one. call the manager that was supposed to be there. no response. call every 5 mins until 5am. manager calls me back, tells me she has the flu but will be there asap to let us in; shows up at 6am despite living 10 minutes away. i work for an hour (not being paid for the two hours i fucking sat there waiting on her) and then decide i'm done. told her my time is valuable and i felt highly disrespected that she never called to say we wouldn't be starting on time. clocked out. /end job

I used to work in this place called "xxxxxx xxxxx office park"
I was having a pretty bad week and a rough day, I started sitting there stewing over the fact that they called the place a park.
It really, really pissed me off. Parks are among the most important things in my life. I volunteer in them, I spend any time I can in them. I grew up in them and I love parks.
I ended up barging into my boss's office and just going off on this tirade.
"How dare you refer to this place as a park! There's not even trees on the property! No one has fun here! There's no grass to lay in and frolic in the fucking sun! This place is nothing more than a soul sucking prison!"
And I just stormed off and never came back.

im close to saying fuck it to my current job. its a customer service based job and it's pretty damn draining getting talked to like shit for hours a day. i'm always in a shitty mood and life is too short to feel like shit 24/7. i hate people more and more everyday. it's like hello asshole! im here to fucking help your stupid ass. at least show me some respect. i have enough money saved up to where i can visit an old childhood friend that lives across country and make a vacation out of it. i have this incredible urge to travel. i think about it every single day.

The first one I really had that I said fuck it and quit, was when I was 15 or so and paid under the table 5 dollars an hour for yard work. I was supposed to be being hired to help the guy. He ended up doing almost nothing ever and let me do all the work. I have no problem doing it, but for 5 bucks an hour, fuck that. I quit when he told me the next day we'd be shoveling sand all day, which meant I would be shoveling sand all day. This is in Texas, in the middle of summer mind you.
I also quit a dish washing job which I still kinda regret because it was pretty good money. It was right after I got hired basically. I went in when I wasn't scheduled because all that shit wasn't really worked out yet and was told to go home. I kept asking are you sure you don't need me, I'm already here, once I call my ride I can't stay etc. Told repeatedly no. As soon as my ride gets there then all of a sudden "a bunch of people called in, I need you after all".. Well tough fucking shit. I just hung around up here for 30 minutes basically begging you to let me work and you told me no and you were sure you wouldn't need me. I asked for one day off the next week and I was scheduled for ONLY that day. Yeah, what a coincidence. So I quit.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

This thread kicks so much ass! I was getting ready to quit pretty sharpish myself. Too bad things imoroved 
Maybe one day I'll have a good story to add.
Oh! But, there was one time where I sent out a bunch of resumes and only one company called, so I took the job. A few days later, another company that I wanted to work for way more called as well. So after a single week of working at place "A", I gave them one-week's notice. They weren't impressed XD

Even funnier yet, is that while it's not the same exact office in the office park I stormed out of in 2013, it's the same damn office park.

Right before that other job, I worked at a diner for a month. It was an hour bus to work, then I would work for 12-18hrs with no days off, I'd get off work and the bus wouldn't be running for another 2-3hrs. So I would wait out in the cold, in a bad neighborhood in the city, with crackheads, bangbangers and prostitutes harassing me all night.
It really sucks when you haven't been asleep in over a day, working your ass off without any breaks or appreciation, wet from the dishes, cold being outside, and you have to watch your back to fend off the locals when they try and get the jump on you. Day after day, 4hrs of sleep.
Coworkers were assholes of the first order, I think they might've been hired from the halfway house next door, because they would say some weird delusional shit. Its difficult to even wrap around how to explain it, but one example being some random lady I had never seen before walking up to me in the middle of a dinner rush and saying "you know you're not the only one here?" then walking away. Fucking weird shit.
Anyways, one night I had had enough, grabbed my shit and left an hour before the bus-line closed without telling anyone. This was following one shitty job, leading into the next.
Out of 20 odd jobs, there have been maybe a handful which weren't a complete shit show. Being homeless was never that bad, usually it was just good times.
