Style is important - even when quitting a job.
AMC1. "I am sorry for your loss"
The general manager I worked for was very micromanaging and unprofessional. I stayed with the company for two years because I thought I would be able to grow professionally. The assistant manager position was dangled in front of me like a carrot for two years, but I never got a promotion. I copied a sympathy card, saying something like "I'm sorry for your loss, etc..." wrote it down in a sort of calligraphy style, and had it printed on a cake as my two weeks' notice.—virlieb
CBS 12. Resignation by meme
My boss and I were really good friends, and I had been talking about leaving for a while. I put in my two weeks but never came back since I was fed up with the place. So, I quit via meme.—dahliasanchz

3. Puke, quit, puke. In that order
My boss wouldn't let me go to the bathroom to throw up, so I puked on her, told her I quit, puked next to her, and then left.

4. Those eyebrows...
"I was at my job for seven years, and for five of those years, my district manager seemed to have it out for me. Whenever my bosses would ask if I could be promoted to assistant manager, she would always tell them no and not give a good excuse (even though I was more than qualified). She liked to tweeze her eyebrows into thin lines and draw them back on with solid black eyeliner and silver eyeshadow as a highlighter — it was so tacky. When I quit, I wrote her a strongly worded letter with a picture of Walter White from Breaking Bad saying, "Fuck you and your eyebrows!" My boss said the next time they saw her, she had drawn her brows on differently."—wobygong89

5. I am out!
It wasn't me, but a friend of mine literally pulled a move out of Half Baked. She worked at a Church's Chicken and (in this order) told her coworkers, "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you." She then proceeded to steal a tray of fried chicken when walking out and yelled to everybody, "I'm out."—gvicki36
6. Pretty sweet
I put my two weeks in. My boss came in and started being a jerk, making sexist comments toward me. In front of all our customers, I told him his behavior was why he was on his second divorce and that he could finish my shift, and I left right there. My regulars loved me for it, and some even said I could work for them. It was pretty sweet.—carleec4abce7c24

7. Sing and dance
You know those stuffed animals that "sing and dance" when you squeeze their hand? Well, on my last day, I took the singing and dancing mechanism out of one and rigged my locker with it (I also locked my locker with my own padlock). I set it up so that every time my coworker shut his locker, the whole locker wall would play annoying music and vibrate. From what I hear, the manager had to get bolt cutters to undo my prank.—a4bdae6e64
8. Even bosses have bosses
I had a boss who ate everybody's lunch out of the fridge. When I quit, I brought in a beautiful cheesecake, professionally sliced. I took out one slice, brought it to his boss, expressed my gratitude for the opportunities I had there, and that I was leaving. I said that out of appreciation, I was giving her (the big boss) a full cheesecake and just brought in a slice so she could enjoy it; the rest was in the employee fridge, waiting for her to take home. Long story short, she caught my boss eating HER cheesecake. I doubt that he ever stole lunch again.—daven48c3a3948
9. Moonwalk...
My boss screwed me on hours — he cut my hours and gave the two new guys more hours. When I brought that up, he didn't even try to deny it and said, "Yeah, that's true." I quit and handed him this card. He laughed, asked if I was giving my two weeks; I laughed, said, "No, I'm done," and left. I even moonwalked out the door.—erikaraelyn

10. I don't...
I quit my last job properly and gave a two weeks' notice, but on my last day, I played Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck With You" really loudly as I was walking out.—mormcg
Most folks hate being labeled as quitters. Pushing on and keeping at it seems like the correct thing to do when you've been taught not to take anything for granted.
However, there are instances when your job and working environment are so toxic that you find yourself daydreaming about abruptly leaving. Well, maybe you should stop daydreaming...
