Have you ever just been sitting in the office, had a string of just ridiculously awful shit happen to you, and just call it?
Maybe you haven’t acted on it by throwing everything off your desk and shouting “I fucking quit!” so loud it shook the building, but you’ve definitely felt that way at one point or another in your working lifetime. We all have.
Here are some of the best “Fuck it, I’m done,” stories on the internet, courtesy of Reddit:
I put in my 2 week notice at work to pursue a better opportunity. Things had been nothing but positive at that job, but it was time to move on.
The next day at work, I get a meeting invite for what I expected to be an exit interview. I walk in, and HR and the corporate lawyer are there. The lawyer demands to know where I’m going to work, and starts shouting threats to ruin me with legal action for violating the non-compete agreement (I wasn’t).
At that point, Fuck a smooth transition–I spent the next 2 weeks taking 3 hour lunches, chatting with friends in the halls and doing ZERO work.
Best two weeks of your life, I bet.
My boss waited until the week before a proposal was due to start on it. She had received it 2 months prior and at that point I offered to help and received no response from her. Then, the week before the due date she comes to me in a PANIC asking for my help. (This was the third time she had done this shit to me.) I forward her all of my research and files and stay late every night helping to put it together. Reviewing the final draft of said proposal…my research is 80% of the content and I am not listed on the team. Fuck it, I’m done.
Accepted another job offer 2 days later, haven’t looked back since.
Must be nice to have that job offer sitting in the back pocket.
When I came home and my son told me his stepmom boxed up his PlayStation while he was playing it so she could sell it
She’d be better off selling the ring.
I was dating a girl whose father was dying of cancer and was at home in hospice care. I found out that she was stealing his morphine to get high. That’s when I said, you know this probably isn’t the type of person I want to be with.
Geez. Quality high, though.
I was a broke college student and working part-time as a night janitor and full-time as a Research Assistant before having to go back to school in the Spring. I needed the money to pay for tuition. After my first lease expired, I tried contacting a few places for a summer sublet. But no one got back to me in time and I had to live a few days in my car. But within a few days of me moving out, the apt owners sent me their responses. At that point, I had already developed a system and was quite used to being homeless.
So that entire summer, I just said “Fuck it. I’m done.” And lived out of my car. I would shower once every two days at the university’s lab shower and sleep in the unrestricted night parking spots.
Hope the situation has improved.
“Sorry can’t take you to ER because I have bad hair”. Was all I needed to hear to understand that person is a piece of shit and need not have anything to do with her.
At least you survived.
First job in high school I booked a short holiday away. Spoke to manager in work and she told me I could not have it off under no reason as the only person who could cover was also on holiday in another country. They walked into the store the next day. Spoke to them and they said yeah they could cover easily. Went back to manager and she still flat out told me no, so went fuck it. I’m done. Handed in my notice and went on that holiday. Don’t bullshit your staff.
Who honestly gives a fuck about high school jobs?
When the man I had loved for years told me we were on hold.
He informed me of the exact evening he was going on a date with some new girl and that he’d let me know by the end of the week if we were back on.
Amusingly he got offended when I told him I felt disrespected. The idea of a healthy adult relationship with this man is futile. Feels so good to be done with him.
That dude is fucking bold.
Wanted to make plans with my at the time best friend. His response was “If nobody else wants to do anything that night, I guess we can.” Was the final straw that made me just say “fuck it,” and stop the friendship. Been 4 or 5 years since that happened. Don’t regret it one bit.
Only a true best friend would say that.
Jodi, can I get these days off in December? I’m not in town I need them off.
“It’s only October you have to wait until November to book them off.”
OK Cool.
*November 1st*
Jodi, I need to book these days off in December.
“Sorry a whole bunch of people already booked it off I can’t give you the days”
It’s the first day of the month and it’s 9am and I am literally the first person to talk to you here, how the hell did people book days off?!
“Oh I took bookings last week because it was almost November.”
Oh. OK. Hey Jodi? I quit. Fuck you.
Fucking Jodi, man.
I asked several friends to help me move once. They all were glad to help but none of them showed up, so I moved everything, beds, couches and all by myself. Haven’t asked anyone for jack shit since then.
Counterpoint: Asking people to help move is a shitty thing to do.
When I had to do a 100 per rectal examinations a day in my first month as a surgical resident… it was such a disgusting thing that I ended up switching to a different speciality
It has been amazing in my new speciality as I at least don’t have to look at people’s assholes all day.
Life’s too short for a job like that.
Girlfriend cheated, told her I need space to think. Friend texts me a few days later to find out what happened. Get really into the details with my friend about my relationship with her. He keeps making weird excuses that “justify” her behavior like “Maybe she’s scared of how she feels about you and that’s why she cheated.” I end up super pissed, stop talking to him. Text him the next day to say fuck off. Turns out he didn’t have his phone that night. My ex invited him to a party, stole his phone, locked herself in the bathroom and impersonated my friend to try and convince me to take her back. NOPE!
Sounds like a backdoor brag to me. .

The receptionist in my office recently told me that I looked “mentally checked out” and “really unhappy here”. She’s not wrong. PGP.
At 11am yesterday my dry cleaner said “you look like dog shit. Are you drunk?” He just got a life-long customer in this guy.
I’ve been asked “Are you ok?” multiple times in the last few months.
Finding a week old interview offer from my dream employer in my spam folder hasn’t helped my mood much either…
Ts & Ps.
Receptionists see everything. You can’t hide from them.
The two receptionists at my job do so little that I’ve almost* worked up the nerve to ask them if they actually do anything all day.
*definitely will never ask*
You might as well jump off a bridge. Never cross the secretaries.

“Hey honey we need to take a break because I’ve got a date with a girl who’s much hotter than you. Honestly, I think I can do much better than you. If it doesn’t pan out, you and I can TOTALLY get back together, though. Love you!” The balls on this guy.
Respect the hell out of it though.
“My ex invited him to a party, stole his phone, locked herself in the bathroom and impersonated my friend to try and convince me to take her back. NOPE!”
Hot take: she was fucking him too.
“It’ll take at least 2 years before you even remotely understand the process flow here.”
I lasted 7 months. I tried to jump ship but they canned me before I could. They cited “lack of motivation.” I was asking for more work and responsibility on a daily basis.
When 16 people have left in ONE year I’ve been here and the Glassdoor reviews include phrases such as “not a good place if you wish to progress in life” and “don’t work here if you expect to have a future.”
We must work at the same office.
I work for a company of around 600 people. A couple months ago they laid off about 10% of the employees. A few weeks later somebody got everyone’s W2s in a phishing scheme. Our Glassdoor has been an absolute dumpster fire since.
We need the name of the company, bruh! The office isn’t going to light itself on fire. Shits lit. Soooo many lituations will be commending once we find out.

Housemate’s dad asked housemate’s mum for an open relationship, housemate’s mum asked housemate’s dad for a divorce.
Helping your friend move => good friend. Hiring fucking movers and not asking your friend in the first place => great friend.
Movers are expensive. If you don’t have two friends that will help you move you need to reevaluate your friends.
Lloyd tried to tell me he was done once. He lost 20 lbs the next week.
Dude, are you serious? You’re the newly resident parody account of a person that sucks and is part of a show that was relevant in 2009. I don’t even know what else to say and waste my time on my comment section here but I guess you could call the suicide hotline relatively soon before your life takes a massive turn for the worst after realizing this kind of shit went out of style even before 2009. Do better if you want to be part of society in a semi meaningful way. Jesus ducking Christ, man.
I honestly don’t understand why HR exists
They are the human traffickers of the corporate world and the gateway to entering economic slavery hidden behind smiley faces and high Mg dose antidepressant prescriptions.
Same tbh
Good gig if you can get it.
Eh, it’s kinda cool to have visibility to what’s really going on all over the organization, but it sucks to have to be the responsible one who pretends to have their shit together all the time even when you really don’t. I’m surprised the field doesn’t have more burnout than it does.
HR drones getting Mad Online about this one
You cool with no health benefits?
