17 people share the craziest thing they've seen someone do after quitting a job.

Quitting a job isn't always the rage-fueled blaze of glory you fantasize about during a particularly brutal Monday morning utterly pointless work call...

When a Reddit user asked, 'What is the craziest thing you've seen a person do after getting fired or quitting?' people were ready to share the hilarious, brave, impressive, or inspiring things they witnessed go down when a coworker or friend beautifully bailed on a bag gig.

This girl I worked with was warned twice for sleeping under her desk during work hours and was eventually fired for interrupting a band hired by our office for an event to sing her very own music. - gd2bpaid

The 'maintenance' man at a prior place was fired when another company bought us and was made redundant. They gave him a date like 3 months out and were going to give him 6 months of pay/insurance.

On his last day he stole 400 computer monitors along with the company's 20ft truck. They never found the guy. He just abandoned his apartment and stuff in it too. It was strange. - excusemefucker

Guy I know took the stores delivery van and drove through a red light camera 40 or 50 times. - doingthehumptydance

4.

A guy in my old office just walked out, leaving everything behind including his sweater and lunch. He had a PB&J sandwich and he left it behind! Crazy! - eraser_dust

5.

Guy quit from his job in a call centre. Logged back into his phone, answered and hung up on about 200 people in the span of a minute and a half then got up from his desk and ran for the elevators yelling 'Freeeeeeeeedooooooom' - hariador

Worked as a help desk supervisor about 15 years ago. One of my guys was getting a better job out of the state and found something in the employee handbook that said if you voluntarily separate from the company you're required to pay back any tuition assistance you got from the company.

He had gone back to school on the companies' dime and even got a couple tech certs. He was gonna owe like $30k. He had already given his 2 week notice, and he pulled me aside and explained everything and asked me to fire him. I told him I didn't think I was allowed to fire people and he said ok.

Next day my director met me at the door and said there was an issue with Kevin. He pulls up a recording and apparently all day the dude is answering his phone with 'f*ck you for calling at&t broadband, this is Kevin...'

So we go into the meeting. Hr, the director, everybody is there. They fire him on the spot. The whole time he's smiling his balls off. We end the meeting, he's thanking everybody and sh*t like that. Scared the piss out of hr and the managers. They were positive he was gonna shoot the place up.

They hired extra security for like a month, they were getting walked to their cars every day, posted Kevin's picture all over warning people to call the cops if he's seen etc. I never had the heart to tell them why Kevin was smiling. - [deleted]

I worked at the Home Depot in college. I'm sure everybody knows how big the stores are, but they don't realize that even though you think there are only a handful of employees, there are actually a ton of orange-aproners in the store at any given time. In fact, my store had around 200 employees.

There was this kindly old guy who worked high-ticket sales. He would walk down to lumber, pull down whatever he wanted (grabbing tools from the shelves), and proceed to build furniture in the back of the store. He was gifted, honestly. Chairs, tables, cradenzas; you name it, he built it.

Everybody assumed that he was building these for displays or for the employee lounge, but nobody paid him much mind. Three months after I started working there, he left and never came back. Apparently he picked up the job so that he could get paid while building himself an entire houseful of goods. When he finished, he just walked out the door. - pdxscout

Years ago at a job, this guy that worked there gave his two weeks verbally. The HR manager asked him to submit something in writing for her records. So he leaves and comes back a few minutes later with an envelope.

HR manager opens it up and it's a piece of blank paper that he drew a giant set of d*ck and balls on then signed the bottom of it. She asked him if that's really what he would like to submit and he said yes. I still think about it to this day and smirk. What a genius way to do it. - [deleted]

A friend of mine had come to hate his job at a large software company. He'd found a new job, but he wouldn't be starting for another month or so so he hadn't given his notice yet at his current job.

One day they decided to bring people in to have the employees do 'team building exercises.' About 10 minutes in to this he was just like screw it and said 'I need to leave.' The team building people asked where he was going. He explained, 'to give my notice.' Quitting during team building exercise? My hero. - auntfaintly

At my old job, someone took a handful of pickles and beamed them at the wall while screaming that he was 'the goddamn best sandwich artist they would ever have.' - venomfilled

11.

I had to terminate a woman who slammed a brick down on my desk while screaming in fury. I have no idea where the brick came from but it scared the f*ck out of me. - Hellolost

Guy gets fired and before he left he sets his voice mailbox to send the managers ranting and disparaging voicemail messages - using the 'future-delivery' feature - every week.

They didn't know how to manage their voicemail system well so they had to pay their phone vendor to come and make it stop after it went on for a month or two. i was the tech to roll and fix it. - jenuine5150

One hot-headed employee drove several nails into his manager's car tires before heading home after being fired for insubordination. Apparently, he didn't notice that he was being caught on security cameras. - Back2Bach

Worked in restaurants all my life. The biggest blaze of glory I've ever seen anyone go out in was when a (former) kitchen manager tossed his keys to the building (and everything in it) in the deep fryer and pulled the kitchen's fire suppression system on his way out the door.

The cops were at his house when he got home to arrest him for felony vandalism and destruction of property. He plead down to a misdemeanor on the basis that it was a 'crime of passion' or something. - FragsturBait

I finally quit my job after being harassed by my coworkers and management for years. I just snapped one day, walked into my boss' office while she was on the phone, told her I was done and left. She chased me down the hallway shouting 'you can't do that! You're fired! You can't quit!'

Passed the worst one in the parking lot on the way out. With a smile on my face and a 'F*@k you Janet' I was a free man. It's been a year, life is extraordinarily better - deathcab4booty

My contracting company fired me for signing an employment contract with the company I was contracted to, starting the next day. They had security from that company watch me put all of my personal items in a box and walk me out to my car, and watch me leave the premises.

I came back the next day to my old desk and put everything back. I understand that the president of the contracting company got chewed out for wasting security's time. - Frank_the_Rat
