People Shared The Funniest “I Quit” Stories, And They All Ended With Style

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Or at least that’s how the saying goes.

But there are many passionate people out there that get a job they like and the pay is too low or they have terrible coworkers or a boss that thinks they own you.

Eventually, even if you love your job, you realize it’s time to part ways and look for a different company or even a different job description in another field.

Here’s where Reddit user croxy0 stepped in with a question that made this thread on Reddit quite famous:

“People that quit their job in a hilarious fashion, how did you do it?” The stories you’re about to read are so hilarious your mouth and sides will hurt from so much laughter!

20. Working Two Jobs

“My wife worked for a […] coffee shop a few years back. She got another job, so requested reduced hours. This didn’t happen for 3 straight weeks.

During that third week, she had a soccer mom from hell try to get her attention, by throwing snowballs at her through the drive-thru window.

My wife then stopped what she was doing and tossed this soccer mom’s iced tea at her (which exploded everywhere) and slammed the window.

5 minutes later she had written her letter of resignation, with the only things she could find: a purple crayon and a sticky note.” – Reddit user The_MonBear

If that’s not the best resignation story, then you must read the next one involving a very happy customer and some very angry managers!

19. A Tower of Cheese!

“The managers there were real cheapskates. There was this nice old man that would come in every Sunday and order a triple extra cheese pizza and while they charged him for the 3x cheese, they would forbid us from ever actually putting that much cheese on a pizza […].

So instead of 3x extra cheese he would really be getting what the instructions would qualify as barely enough for a regular cheese pizza.

On the day my 2 weeks notice ended the old guy just happened to be my last order so I went into the walk-in and grabbed an entire box of cheese, proceeded to dump the entire thing onto his pizza and tossed it into oven.

It was stacked so high that it couldn’t even fit into it and half of it was scraped off.” – Reddit user Not_A_Doctor_Venture

This person will remember for their entire life the satisfaction on the old guy’s face when he saw that much cheese on his pizza. Finally, he got what he expected!

18. Flying Popcorn Dust

“There was a UPS strike in the 90s and I was employed by them in high school as a sorter. Blockbuster Video at the time had this mail order deal where you’d get a VHS tape and bags of popcorn.

[…] Anyway, all these boxes full of microwave popcorn and VHS tapes would slide down the belt and about half of the popcorn bags would explode or break. After about an hour there was popcorn dust all over.

I asked my boss for a mask, and he said that they didn’t have any. Some of the drivers walked by wearing masks, and I followed them and found a full cabinet full of masks.

I confronted my boss, and he was like “the masks are for drivers, only”.

So I went back to the sorting area and just stopped working. I just stood there. The belts were backing up with these boxes of popcorn and they would burst and clouds of powdered popcorn butter would fill the air.

I waited about 45 minutes before the belt shut off.” – Reddit user rikers_evil_twin

If this boss knew how much trouble he’d get just by denying a mask, he’d think twice before doing that again. We can all agree that not many people received their VHS tapes that week since the incident!

17. Finding a Better Job

“Worked as a teller at a bank for a few years, GM and supervisor were both kind of crappy in their own ways. My buddy there was also a teller who felt similarly and wanted to get out.

We started applying to places and both got interviews at the same company. As luck would have it, we both got hired and got phone calls about 10 minutes apart.

There was only one other teller aside from us and when it got busy, supervisor usually had to jump in as well (and usually hated it). […] Being down 2 people was the worst.

Naturally when we both got hired, it became a race to see who could turn in their two weeks notice first. He printed his off and raced into GM’s office, walking out with a big smile.

GM calls me in and offers me full time hours (after I had been requesting them for months). I jumped in saying ‘Let me stop you right there, I’m also turning in my two weeks notice.

’” – Reddit user spikey182

Having a flexible schedule and not needing to work for two is what people want in a job, aside from getting a promotion or better pay.
