    I’ve never understood why people talk about marriage like this big scary commitment. You. Can. Literally. Just. Walk. Out. It’s not like they send you to jail. Nobody even cares!

      I’m mean you need to split assets, court order for visitation if you can’t agree on something. Not as simple as just walk out.

    Oh man I got bit by a coyote a couple weeks ago and I walked out of the ER after getting stitches and apparently if you walk out of an ER after getting stitches but before getting rabies shots after getting bit by a coyote then everyone starts looking for you.

    I know it’s a shitpost, but man does it feel good to quit. I once had a job I HATED (lumber department at a chronically under-staffed Home Depot where I’d be the only person expected to work both lumber and building materials during the day when contractors were in wanting stuff). One day I was scheduled to close, then scheduled for the morning shift the next day. This meant not getting home until around 11 and then getting up the next morning at 5. Alarm goes off and I just pulled a Peter Gibbens from Office Space. I hit that snooze and went right back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, loaded a surfboard in my truck and went to the beach. Left to see family for Thanksgiving a couple days later and sent every phone call from my manager straight to voicemail. It was immature, irresponsible, but absolutely liberating.

    I think the only time I felt as free was when I ended a rocky five-year relationship.

      Rage quitting is amazing and so cathartic. I rage quit a job in 2022, but I was nice enough to type out a resignation email.

      I quit a job as a bouncer in a nightclub when they wanted us to allow some uncool shit. Two middle fingers in the manager’s face. It was awesome. Quite liberating. I had another job inside of a week.

        It sounds like your former boss requested you to do a violation of OSHA guidelines.

        If it’s in Europe it’s very likely downright illegal.

        It’d also be an unjust dismissal and a breach of the termination period, so you could have filed a lawsuit to get compensated.

        The most important thing is that you got away from it, but if something like this ever happens again, I would recommend that you contact the union before saying OK to anything. It’s usually better to let the employer fire you for not showing up than to walk away and let them continue to do it to other people. They never learn - until they have to pay for it.

          I’m in the us we dont have rights here most jobs aren’t union. Now that I’m older I probably could have gotten wrongful termination though.

    I didn’t think I’d find this relatable but “too fancy weed store” hit so hard

    I went into one in Portland OR once and the whole inside was dazzled up like a super ornate Hindu shrine. The budtender started in on this spiel about finding my spiritually matched strain and shi. Probably ended up overpaying for some decent flower but it was overwhelming af lmao.

      It’s really hard to shut them up and just buy some pot.
      Fukem. There’s a lot of weed stores in Portland.
      Keep it weird, man.

    I have a reputation among my friends for disappearing in the middle of things.
    Makes it a lot harder to do.

    I always quit early when I’m clothes shoppi

    Plus the spacing between that and the line below it really bothers me
