Turn that quitting frown upside down. Source: Getty Images
LAST month, a reporter for a local news station in Alaska quit her job on live TV to work full-time at a medical marijuana company, uttering, "F*** this, I quit" before walking off set and causing everyone in the studio to forget how to talk.
The stunt attracted even more publicity than she probably planned for, and with the resignation, Charlo Greene became one of the many people who decided to leave their jobs with a bang.
Anyone can give a boss two week's notice, but you have to be especially bold to go above and beyond when it comes to quitting.
Hopefully, everyone on this list was able to find a place of employment as enjoyable as the process of quitting — and a warning, there's some slightly adult language below.
1. Marina Shifrin dances her way to unemployment
If you're going to make a music video to quit your job, you better use a deep cut from Kanye West for the soundtrack.
2. Steve Slater basically hijacks a plane

Back in 2010, a JetBlue flight attendant made every single headline in the world when he decided to quit his job on the PA system before grabbing two beers and sliding onto the tarmac at JFK using the plane's inflatable slide.
It was later revealed that he was possibly an alcoholic who made up a story about being assaulted by a passenger after he realised what he did.
3. An entire Chipotle decides to stop working
They also considered using '#Chipotlaway'. Source: Supplied
This one is a little less fun than the rest of these entries (it's kind of hard to put an entertaining spin on "borderline sweatshop conditions"), but at least they made a statement.
Also, if we're being honest with each other, the use of a #ChipotleSwag hashtag in contrast to everything written above it is the funniest thing on this entire list.
4. A programmer leaves a very special message on a work computer
We suspect the 'renegotiate' link is broken. Source: Supplied
You can try to force quit and restart as many times as you want, but it's not going to suddenly make things better.
5. Joey DeFrancesco has a marching band help him quit his hotel job
When Joey DeFrancesco decided to quit the job that had been the bane of his existence for three years, he decided that he wasn't going to go quietly.
To ensure that wouldn't happen, he recruited a marching band to help him out.
I'd say it was worth the trouble.
6. Chris Holmes puts the "boss" in "Cake Boss"

Studies show a great way to ensure your boss won't get mad when you quit is to pen your letter of resignation on a cake. It is impossible to get mad at cake (carrot cake being the notable exception).
7. Moe's manager resigns with an 'Ice, Ice Baby' dance routine
How much did this guy hate his job? He took time out of his life to coordinate a fairly sophisticated dance routine with multiple people just to make sure everyone knew he was leaving. Those are the kind of priorities I like to see.
8. An entire store quits to spite the manager
Cancer is a pretty good excuse, actually. Source: Supplied
This list features a few people who quit their jobs amicably, but it also features a few who seemingly had a fantastic reason to quit. I guess telling your employees that "Cancer is not an excuse" is the only excuse they need to resign at the same time.
9. Jarrad Farbs designs a level of Mario to quit his job as a video game designer
He should have done it in Minecraft. Source: Supplied
2K Games employee Jarrad Farbs understands the importance of building out your portfolio, so when he decided to quit his job, he did so by designing a level of Mario that produces an epilepsy-inducing "I QUIT" message upon completion.
You can play it here because you know you want to.
10. Guy writes a lovely handwritten note with a less lovely message
There's nothing like a nice handwritten note. Source: Supplied
Some people would have responded to the initial email with this message, but some things are better done the old fashion way.
It might have taken a little bit of effort, but I can't even imagine the satisfaction this guy felt after he wrote that final "u."
11. Joy Mukharji recreates the Star Wars intro (and gets naked)
The opening crawl of Star Wars is one of the most recognisable shots in movie history (largely due to the fact that it literally describes the plot of the movie), so when this guy decided to quit his job at a marketing firm, he decided to use it as inspiration.
I'm not sure what inspired him to pose naked afterwards, but I can't say I don't like his style.
12. Adam the Taco Bell employee is not a fan of Taco Bell
The smiley face indicates no hard feelings. Source: Supplied
One of the most important things you can do when quitting a job is making sure you don't burn any bridges.
By inserting a smiley face after the "F*ck You," Adam has lightened the mood and left the door open when he inevitably applies for a job at the Pizza Hut across the street.
13. Insurance salesman employs a mariachi band and a banana suit to become unemployed
14. Tom 'T-Bone' Amellino rides a rainbow-shooting vacuum into the sunset
"I must go, my people need me." Source: Supplied
When you tell your boss that you're quitting, there's a pretty good chance you're going to be asked, "Are you sure?"
Considering the amount of time Tom spent on this picture, I'm guessing his boss didn't need to ask.
BONUS: Richard Nixon decides he doesn't feel like being the most powerful person in the world
Short and to the point. Source: Supplied
There's nothing overtly funny about Nixon's resignation letter, but quitting one of the most powerful positions in the world with a simple "I quit" deserves an honourable mention.
