Remember the flight attendent who had been a good employee but one day just had enough?
He said some memorable parting words, then activated the emergency slide that fills up like an airbag, jumped on and slid to a speedy termination! He also became famous in the ranks of all of those who have thought about a dramatic exit.
If you had the guts...and independent income. What would be your parting words or method of exit, the more dramatic and creative the better.

I used to work homecare in a really bad neighborhood and while leaving work one friday night in july, a kid threw a M80 right in my face and the explosion left me deaf in my rt ear for days. I called my boss (the DON) on her cell phone and left a message since technically it was a work related injury because I hadn't clocked out yet. I got the on-call supervisor calling me a few minutes later chewing me out for calling my boss and I should have called her instead, thats the chain of command blah blah blah. I lost it right in front of the police and told her to kiss my bleeping *** and that she was a bleeping *itch! and dont ever bleeping call me again and hung up on her. Screaming at the top of my lungs.. best part is I never lost my job. They begged me not to quit. I switched my case to a safer neighborhood and when I go into the office she always shoots me a dirty look. *****!
Good for you! I would be cussing her out on the phone as well if someone was trying to chew me a new one while I just had an explosive blow inches from my face causing me to lose hearing. It goes to show the on-call supervisor is more worried about her position than you. Chain of command, your not military, its not serious enough to chew someone out while you are having a conversation with law enforcement. The on-call could have handled it with more tact, asked you how you were doing and then said in a calm and professional tone that they would like to see you for a talk afterwards.
When I was younger working at a big box retailer, a manager put me to my limits by coming into the break room and tellling me I accidently did not charge a lady enough for rubbermaid boxes. He then told me after my break I had to put the returns away "to get some exercise". He did things like this to me all the time. After my break I walked out in front of the store and customers and called him a number of bleeping words and walked out. Old ladies were cheering me on it was so great!!! This guy was such a pig calling a lot of girls fat etc.
Not too dramatic or attention garnering but I would spend an extra hour with each of my residents. I would not rush through their care. To hell with managing my time

This is not mine, but a friends idea of a goodbye.
While working in the OR, she wanted to don a PacMan costume and run through the suture aisle in the supply room knocking every box on the floor and then continue to run throughout the OR.
when I first stared I worked with a woman that quit and sence she worked the night shift she had lots of time on her hands to take revenge . SHE Pourded dirt on the chairs of people she haited and peeded on the boss's chair ! I am so glad she liked me !!
If I knew I'd never need to work in our county again....
I'd video the boss's best buddy talking trash about her (everyone knows she does except the boss, and the BB is also the laziest person I have ever met) and play it at the next manager's conference.
