Today, I quit my job as a barista for one of our competitors with a couple of bucks more an hour. Two hours after I'd handed in my resignation, my boss approached me just to let me know that if I hadn't resigned, I would've been offered my own café. FML

Today, I resigned from my job in favor of a higher-paying one. After I filled out and filed the necessary papers, my boss told me that I had been nominated to replace him when he retired in a month. His job pays at least twice what I'm now making. Thanks for telling me, asshat. FML
Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, it's my last day of work at my job of two and a half years. I organised to have coffee with my coworkers at a cafe. Only I turned up. I had my farewell coffee alone. FML
Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML
Today, I quit my job after being the only one to do my job, the boss's job, and the other guy’s job. Their way of saying thank you for being the best employee they'd had was to fuck me on my paycheque and give me $70 for a week's work. FML
Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Today, I finally quit my job after talking with a friend about making our own design/multimedia company. While I was on my way to his house, he called me and told me not to quit because he got an awesome job offer and couldn't refuse. FML

He was probably lying about the cafe just because you quit you know...

Sounds like bluff to me... if you were really getting your own cafe, they would have used that as a bargaining point in keeping you on.

Also, if your ex boss was lying, then do not let it get to you. I believe in following your heart. I say you deserve it though because, to me, it sounds like you were doing fine financially already. Most people quit jobs for not liking the work place. Which is stupid. Those who quit for better pay, power to you for taking care of yourself and/or your family.

Don't believe the hype, yo. People say that shot all the time when someone resigns.

What was the point of even telling you this? Just to make you feel like crap? What a dick move. You're trying to make your life better; it's a shame he couldn't have spoke up and helped you in the first place rather than bring you down...

Bullshit. Your former boss was lying.

It sounds exaggerated, but that happens. It's always a good idea to let current employers know about an offer elsewhere before signing - they may give you a raise or a promotion if they want to keep you. Sometimes an offer is worth even more as a bargaining chip than as an actual alternative. (Allegedly, there are also assholes who will fire people for not being "loyal", but those are employers to stay the hell away from anyway.)
