This is a question 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?

Quit twice in 20 years
When I was younger, I used to 'work' for this highly conservative semi-governmental semi-religious organisation which was basically a cross between a pressure group and thinktank. It had it's finger in loads of pies and loads of influence with the government, despite being totally un-elected. I say 'work' but really I was on their introductory training course which took flippin for ages. I never got paid either, although that did not matter cos we could just demand anything we wanted for free due to the influence of the organisation.
Anyway the boss was this little misshapen guy who could not properly talk and was always getting on my case for abusing my power which was totally unjustified as I was just trying to get proper care for Amy, my then girlfriend who was up the duff. It all came to a head one day when I had a huge bust up with Ben, my mentor. I'm not talking shouting either, blows were exchanged and we had one hell of a proper fight. Anyway, cut a long story short I ended up in hospital, while Ben stole my girlfriend and moved away without telling me where. As you can probably imagine, that was the last straw for me- "Screw you guys", I thought, so I quit.
So then I started working for the guy who paid to get me fixed up in hospital, basically as his PA. He was totally rich and powerful, so this was a great job - lots of exotic travel and bossing people about and stuff - till one day 20 years later or so, my son by this gf turns up at our new head office royally p*ssed off and accusing me of not being a proper dad and calling me an asshole and smashing the place up. I'm like chill son, I can get you a great job here but he says no way and accuses me of selling out to the corporate bigwigs which I guess is true. Then my boss goes a bit mental and starts slapping my boy about and I'm like wtf he may be a bit cocky but there's no need for that - family's family and all - so I throws the boss down a well, which I guess means I quit again.
So then I get my boy to start up the original organisation again as it head which I guess is a happy ending of sorts although a bit sh*t about me being too dead to enjoy it.
