typically give notice so that you don't burn bridges if potential future employers contact your past employers
This is it, it is just a curtesy thing. I had an employee give me a two week notice and proceeding to spend the next week throwing hissy fits and bad mouthing me to other employees and then just finally quit when the other guys told him to just frick off.
Two week notices are a double edged sword, when you turn one in most blue collar jobs tell you to just pack your shite for safety issues. A company that is near me had a guy turn in a two week and they were going to let him work it out. He claimed he hurt his back while driving a truck and sued them. He turned down a 50k settlement and ended up getting 100 to 150k from them and they no longer let guys work out their two week.

I agree. Never belittle the man or woman who signs your checks. Show respect and as mentioned, never burn any bridges.
Your history follows you in employment opportunities. When you are respectful to the company , a future company will honor that loyalty. Be the bigger man even if you hate your current situation. Two weeks is no time. Bite the bullet and never bad mouth your former employers in social media.
Burning bridges with family or employers is never a good idea. We all need support in this world. Being young lends itself to outbursts and selfishness at times. One day you might need good ole mom or dad.
