I can't be bothered doing crappy part-time work again.

Walked 30 minutes in the pisssing rain, my supervisor wasnt't there and I got the most awful jobs ever with a 17 year old telling me what to do.

Then I thought I was going to get mugged on the way home.
I'll just wait until my cash runs out.

I'm 24, and I've had about 9-10 different jobs since the age of 15... and I've only ever given in one resignation letter.

If it's bad enough to leave, just walk...worked for me every time.

I do quite like the fact I can just not turn up and don't care.

I hope nobody notices and they pay me.

That's ridiculous. Most places I've worked don't even have a notice period until you've been there a year.

I'll just say I quit Uni or something and moved away.

Ahh right, didn't realise you had a notice period, thought you hadn't been there long?

Just tell them you have a sick relative who lives miles away and you need to go look after them for two months because there's no-one else in the country who can look after them.

Worked for my ex-line manager when he quit after two days, two weeks later and they're thinking about taking him back on.

You could tell them you've been offered a better paid job somewhere else, then hand in your written notice. Worked for me when I left John Lewis, although admitedly, I wasn't lying about the better paid job.

And you'll be able to write a BBC3 sitcom based on your experience.
