Your best [RAGEQUIT] - Page 2

EVILNess · 08-10-2010, 04:49 PM

I have never ragequit a job, but my brother has. In fact, I was denied a job at the movie theater he used to work at because he is my brother.

Manager accused him of stealing money. He confronted the manager. Manager fired him. My brother pissed on the top of his desk in front of him. Just whipped it out and sprayed everything. He still isn't allowed in the theater.

I had to go bail him out of jail.

- I was aware I had an impending "Do not send" label on my file for EA coming in, so when I was told I would not be returning to EA, I changed everyone's background on my floor to a sexy picture of Spock.

Result: Nobody knew it was me, most people got a laugh, some of the guys freaked out.

- When I was removed from another team, I changed every mention of my bosses' socker team on his computer, to his rival team. (He was big into Liverpool and I forget who his rival was at this point.)

Result: His cursing could be heard throughout the lab and he actually bitched out his under-supervisor for it, since he'd done similar pranks to him before, stating, "NO THIS IS OVERBOARD, YOU DON'T CHANGE MY BACKGROUND TO THOSE F*****TS".

- Not me but someone quitting took a tremendous dump in the Urinal, and then in the Elevator.

Result: It got cleaned up and we weren't able to use the urinals all day. That just annoyed me.

- Oh, and my supervisors were using company time to write their own game- they had 8 hour works days and a team of 5 people total working on it. While everyone was on lunch break, I took the time to completely fry the code beyond saving on the Wii Redkits they were using.

Then I added a call up for an image file I added to the program.

Result: They returned as I walked out the door to hand in my 'application to move' forms to Toronto. The freakout they had over Sexy Spock as I was mid-hallway was amazing.

Note: These were the level 2 and level 1 supervisors; the level 3 supervisors suspected it but didn't have timing to prove it, and they were busy with their own work and teams. The overbosses and managers just weren't interested in looking into it.

Man, Blues, your stories are decidedly mellow and un-rage-filled -- more just "I stopped going". And long. But lolband, so I guess that fits.

Ness: Whoa, he actually just pissed on his boss's desk? hahahaha

I am a very subtle person.

But yes, in terms of explosiveness, I knew I was going to lose the thread when I started.

Yes. He is banned form the theater and he still hasn't paid me back for the bail money. Which really sucks ass cause he actually was stealing from the register.

Bastard.

Not me, but an old co-worker quit his job by taking a spraycan of round-up to the lawn in front of the company office one night, using it to spell out a series of seven limericks, each one blasting either a specific manager or a general aspect of fail the company had shown.

The best part is that Roundup takes a week or so to actually take visible effect, and he timed his two-weeks notice so that he was off the job just before the words became visible.

My quit from Walmart was subtle but effective. I was given a decision day which is where you are sent home for a day with pay and you're expected to write a thing explaining what you did wrong and how you're going to fix it.

Most people write "I did ___ to many times and I'm going to fix it by never doing it again"

I wrote a full essay on how the only reason I got in trouble was because I was doing the company a favor (not being flippant here I really was doing them a favor) and outlined in polite detail every aspect in which the company was crooked and how much they sucked. I then submitted it to management and read a copy of it to everyone I worked with.

Its a shame it'll never be read by home office.

I was having a shitty time making an add-on campaign for Battle for Wesnoth. So much, in fact, that I just pulled the add-on right off the server, announced that the campaign was on hiatus, and stopped posting anything on the forum for a long time.

Yeah, that's the closest thing I have to a ragequit.

I was running a quick 4.0 campaign, and had one jackass player who kept arguing "You can't do that in 4.0, that's a 3.5 rule, YOU CAN'T DO THAT" Nevermind that damn near anything can be done as a skill challenge, and I had explained this several times over, he wouldn't give up and was just plain getting annoying. So finally I had decided that the group was done, but I did want some closure. I told them we'd meet one or two more times, but then the story should be done and we'd be finished.

So the next week I introduce a new NPC. I made sure that the NPC got across three ideas: 1) This NPC was the DM incarnate, 2) ANYTHING this NPC said would happen, because HE IS THE DM INCARNATE, and 3) This DM/NPC had a personality that clashed absolutely with the troublesome PC. For the record, this NPC was named "Damien", but that's just because I happen to like that name.

So the party meets Damien. Two of the three members like him, troublesome PC doesn't. The two argue, and troublesome PC argues directly with me that he doesn't like how this thing is ending. We break for the day with the group and the DM/NPC going to do some menial task; clearing out a cave of monsters.

Nonetheless, the player shows up for the last session. Of course, during this next session, troublesome PC's character and the DM/NPC get into a heated argument over treasure allocation (Because I knew he would argue an NPC getting ANYTHING, let alone something he doesn't REALLY need). Finally, DM/NPC says "If me getting this isn't fair to you guys, then I hope this cavern collapses on me." I give them a second as they just kinda wait to see what happens. I look the troublesome PC in the eyes, say the age-old incantation of "Rocks fall, everyone dies", then get up from my chair and leave to head home.

Looking back, we all got a good laugh out of it, though the guy who was causing trouble and I don't do DnD sessions together anymore. We still get together for board games and stuff, but yeah we don't get along in campaigns.

Jules while that is a pretty good ragequit, I gotta say, that is terrible form as a DM. If you can't handle players bitching about rules and don't have the logical skills to A: convince them you're right or B: Convince them "shut the hell up, I'm the DM, I make the rules" then you're not really cut out to be a DM.
