have you ever just quit a job on the spot?

what were your experiences?
Strangely I have four friends in the last year who have all quit professional positions on the spot. It worked out well for two of them, one is tbd (she quit last week) and the fourth is now a house husband.
But anyway, what have been your experiences? I always assumed it was a terrible idea but it seems to have worked out for people I know.
I have to say that its on my bucket list to just say frick it and walk out.

Yes, it was as a waiter so not really a big deal.

Yes, but not a professional job.

You can't do these with actual responsibilities.

Did it during a student job at ULL. Dean was a complete count and I just couldn't take it for $5 an hour anymore.
Told my supervisor that the dean was a arrogant piece of work, loud enough for her to hear from her office. Said "the next time I walk in here will be to get my last check, I'm going find another job for the same shite pay without a boss like that."

I had been looking and had 3 interviews set up. I hit my tipping point one day and boom, quit.

Yes. Right out of college. There were only three of us in the office.
My boss would show up to work drunk, smoke about three packs of cigarettes in the office, frick his obese secretary in his office, and occasionally take a break to berate me.

I'm on the verge every day, but trying my best to play passive aggressive instead of blowing up. Wish I had the balls to do it, but I'm trapped in a job that pays just well enough to deal with the misery.

I quit my first job like that.
I worked at a hardware store for three years.
I told my supervisor I needed the weekend off 2 months in advance. She jokingly said I couldn't have it and I wasn't in the mood for her shite...took off my work shirt, tossed it to her and shot deuces.

I was eating lunch at Nicky's in Shreveport last Friday when a loud commotion erupted in the kitchen. It was the bus boy throwing down his rubbermaid tub and dirty dishes.
Young dude says, "frick you! And frick you, Carlos! I've been busting my arse for you mother frickers, I quit!"
He storms out through the packed dining room and it was silent stares. As soon as the door closed behind him, it was like one fork rattled in a plate and everybody carried on like nothing happened.

My biggest fear is going through years of professional school with debt and feeling the same way. I would do it as a busser or cashier, but it can be career suicide to do it on a professional level with a real income.

It's not a terrible idea when you're 18 with no responsibilities.

mine isn't quite that bad but I am trapped in this job due to the money. I dont like who I work for, or what I do, but I get paid enough to ignore it and get tow ork from home. It would be foolish to quit.
plus i barely have to work.

I worked at a Cavender's when I was in college.
My grandpa died and it was during a blackout week where we had a huge sale going on.
Told my manager I needed a night off for the wake and the next morning off for the funeral, she told me it was blackout and that I knew better than to ask. I just said whatever, I'm going to both if I don't have a job the next time I show up then whatever.
Showed up two days later, manager said she thought she took me off the schedule, but she actually didn't. Started just giving me shite the entire shift about not following rules and what not and I just peaced out and left them short staffed.
I went in there like six months later to buy a pair of wranglers and still knew every frick in that place. It was pretty dang awkward

I walked out of a concessions job at Zephyr Stadium when I was in high school.
I could NEVER work in a kitchen environment again in my life.

I hope you weren't the secretary.

Worked at Cane's for a day in college. Pay was shite and I wasn't cheerful enough. I hopped out the drive thru window

I did it. And I have responsibilities but I also am retired from the Army and VA disability, so I could afford to tell them to frick off.
Then I started my own business.
