Simply saying “I quit” might feel satisfying. Honestly, anytime I’ve said it, I was nervous and felt like I was throwing away my whole career. And that’s when I worked at Denny’s. Other people, however, seem to relish the idea of quitting, and when the day finally comes, they execute plans both petty and hilarious. These funny people gave us all a gift by quitting their jobs in ways I never would. The world is better with them in it.
We all need money to live. Well, some people are off the grid completely, and live in a self-sustaining cabin in the woods. For those of us who want to live in a building (that I guess could collapse at any moment), we need to be employed. Then, we can use our money to pay someone who also hates their job to do some work for us. On and on, until we’re all murdering each other in the imminent Climate Wars.
Anyway, this post will cheer you up if you regularly fantasize about quitting your job.
Here are the funniest and most elaborate ways people have quit their jobs:
1. When a big box retail worker just can’t take it anymore.
2. My buddy quit his job at the gas station.
