'Printed the proof... and walked straight out': 20+ People who quit their jobs on the spot

When you're pushed too far, sometimes you just can't take the heat anymore. These workers know the feeling all too well, and they shared the moments that were the final straw before they quit their job on the spot.

As much as you try to vet a company before you join, you just don't know what your job will really be like. You can keep an eye out for red flags during the interview process, but you won't really know what it's like until you spend a few weeks emailing with your boss or calling clients.

Since we all spend so much of our waking time at work, it can be psychologically draining to be in a job you despise. Maybe it's a micromanaging boss who questions every email you send. Or perhaps you work in retail with demanding customers who insult you day in and day out. There are a lot of reasons that can grow into resentment over time, and then one day, you might just snap.

These people quit their jobs on the spot, and it seems like none of them regret leaving their toxic situations. Check out all these tales of brave workers who have had enough of their awful workplaces. Then, these chefs and waiters wrote about the funniest and most ridiculous requests they've ever gotten from customers.
