re: Have you ever "Up and Quit" your job on impulse?

Yes I have. When I was 19 and crazy as shite I had a yankee boss that got personal with some curse words when he was addressing me. I stopped what I was doing, told him I understand that he’s upset, and I don’t mind him using foul language because he’s upset, but don’t directly curse at me. I told him he could curse about the company, what the idiots did to piss him off to begin with, but the next time he called me a mother fricker I’d beat his arse. The guy smarted off and I beat his arse black and blue from head to toe in short order. I walked directly to my truck, went home, and studied for an exam I had in the morning. The next day the CEO finally got a hold of me, we didn’t have cell phones then, asked me what happened, and he sent that yankee packing. I’m on the board of directors for this very same company now and I’m 50.
