Unless you have been pretty fortunate in life so far, chances are you’ve endured a period of office work or any other kind of work that sucked.
There are plenty of things about the nature of employment that can make it extremely unpleasant. From long hours and boring, unsuitable work, to colleagues that irritate and a smug, overbearing boss, the fantasy of telling them all where to shove it and giving your resignation letter in class can become overwhelmingly tempting!
This list compiled by Bored Panda is about funny people who did exactly that. Forget about leaving on good terms, politely handing in your two weeks notice and not burning bridges. Burn them down, baby! Down to the floor! Do it with a funny poster so they'll remember! These people acted out their fantasies, hatched in those dark, miserable days of workplace misery, and flounced out with a flourish. Scroll down to check out the list of the best ways to quit job below, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite!

I Turned In My Two Weeks Notice At Home Depot The Other Day. This Was My Letter Of Resignation
God...Home Depot. I worked there, and got put on unpaid leave due to migraines. I also almost passed out from heat exhaustion after making a sarcastic comment earlier that about lack of water outside and 'faking' passing out. So, HR and the manager thought I was joking, and insisted I come back to work when I had not been medically cleared. I went in to take in a doctors note excusing me for another day and they expected me to work THAT DAY. I came in wearing cut off shorts and a tie dye tshirt. I'm like "do I LOOK like I'm ready to work". So I quit then and there, and of course, they insisted on written resignation, etc. Never been to that store since. Also reported to OSHA the lack of drinking water in garden department.

I'm glad that I'm retired now. Worked hard for 45 years, often unappreciated, always underpaid
Way too many cakes. Way too many. I mean, I REALLY want cake now. For reals yo.
I know, I feel like starting a business, treating everyone like c**p, and just hoping that someone rage quits with snarky cake message.
Load More Replies...So, is it in America standard with just two weeks notice? Here in Sweden you have at least one month's notice if you have been employed for 6 months or longer but three month is just as common (I myself have a three month).
In Sweden, if you hate your job and decide to quit you have to continue on the job 3 months after you give notice? I don't think you mean that (and in that case, I think you've misunderstood all these letters).
Load More Replies...idk the rules in other countries but in the US employers can ditch you for any reason. So when you submit your "cute" two or three week notice, they can make that day your last. Just something to keep in mind.
It's not cute, it's common courtesy IOT give your workplace time to find another suitable candidate & it also gives you the legal right to claim an additional 2 weeks salary, if they fire you on the spot. However, I told my boss to bash it up his a**e & left on Friday, never to return, he failed to give severance pay but he was also evading tax payments & breaking most employer - employee rules & getting away with it because his wife was a QC.... don't expect Australian judges to follow the laws they preach in court.... 😐
Load More Replies...Awww, my quit message was just "I quit". Maybe I should reapply so I can come up with a better one?
I wish that I had thought of some of these before I quit my BS job as an Operating Room Nurse at Yale University Medical Center. Hated that place!
I look at these, and though some of them are amusing, I also feel sad that people don't know basic business skills. So many people are leaving with written up notes and cartoons and sign boards. Just type up something and give some notice, don't just yeet out of there the same day.
Those of you who plan to do this: have a reccomendation backup plan! You won't get a reccomendation letter if you do this! (obvi)
I'm so thankful for my job. My bread and butter. These ppl must have had a really bad time where they worked. Hope they get better jobs next time. On a totally different and unrelated note, today has been surreal. Colleague's new born baby died at 2 months from a rare heart condition called ALCAPA. It's humbling that a job allows you to have people to confide in, mourn with, celebrate with, help with campaigns to save lives...
I don't know if it was stylish, but I made my d**k manager run down 18 flights of stairs to convince me not to quit. One day he was being extra-dickish so I said, "Screw this. I quit." and left his giant cubicle and headed toward the doors leading to the elevator bank. He was stunned for a few seconds plus a big man so he's not a fast mover. By the time he's out of his cubicle and yelling at me, I'm exiting to the elevators. I push a button, and an elevator door opens, but instead of getting in it, I go into the stairwell and run up two flights. As I'm doing so, I hear him burst through the office doors exclaim, "S**t!" because the doors of the elevator (which I'm supposedly in) have closed. I sit down two flights up, and he storms into the stairwell, cursing, and starts running down the stairs. I play games on my phone for 15 minutes, walk down 3 flights, catch an elevator, and go home.
I so love these. I had some crappy jobs with crappy bosses and colleagues too and kind of went away with bang too. Just could not resist that :) You live only once.
I'd be worried posting these online. Future employers sometimes check your social media accounts and I don't think they'd like to see this! I think it's very funny and clever stuff though.
