Let's face it: work is exhausting and unpredictable. No matter how much you need a job, everyone has their breaking point. Sometimes, you reach your absolute maximum and have no other choice but to say, "I quit!" and walk away.
Perhaps you worked at a department store and were in charge of collecting the clothes left in the fitting rooms at the end of the day. When you got to the hallway of fitting rooms, you noticed a bad smell. You got to the last fitting room, and that's where you discovered that someone had thrown up on the floor, then used clothes from the store to either wipe up or cover up the mess. You shook your head, walked out the front door, got into your car, and left for good.
Maybe you were working as a server in a fine dining restaurant, and you reached your breaking point one night when a large party of businessmen would not stop harassing you. You begged your boss to let you switch to a different section, but they wouldn't hear it. After one of the businessmen put his hands on you and demanded your phone number, you "accidentally" knocked a glass of water into his lap. He was irate, and your boss ordered you to apologize. Instead, you loudly quit and stormed out of the restaurant.
Or, perhaps you got sick and tired of having a boss who refused to respect boundaries. They'd call and text you after hours or during your PTO, change up your schedule without warning, and dump copious amounts of their own work onto you (while still taking credit for it). You snapped in a meeting one day when they completely took credit for a project you'd spent weeks on. You put in your two weeks notice, and never looked back.
