The stress of the job hunting process puts the focus on trying to get the job to want you, that sometimes it takes until the first day of work to find out that you don't want them.
A Reddit thread asked, "People who quit their jobs on their first day, what was your 'I'm out of here' moment?"
These people impressively sniffed out a scam or a toxic environment right away.

Was told we are on crunch mode and that he was making his team work 72 hours straight no breaks no lunch to get these houses built.
I questioned the legality of that before I noticed the meth pipe he tried to hand me. Enjoy your visit from the police, dickhead.

I came dressed in a shirt and tie, and the manager told me that my shoes were unacceptable. Because they weren't laced dress shoes, rather slip on dress shoes. It was a minimum pay job handing out fliers to shoppers at BJs.
