Today, while trying to quit my horrible job at a pizza place, I got so nervous that I accidentally offered to work double my usual hours for another month. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, after trying so hard to get myself back on my feet, I had an amazing interview and I was hired on the spot. I was so happy, until I read the position I was given, and it turns out I didn't get full-time, I got barely enough hours to even be part-time. FML
Today, my company decided to give me a second role, since I’m "the best performing candidate.” When I turned it down, they asked me to work half-time instead. I quit. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, while trying to get my boss to reconsider laying off much of my department, I accidentally convinced him to lay me off too. FML
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, I had my first shift as a server at a restaurant after getting stuck behind an accident and arriving late, apologizing profusely. Apparently no one knew I'd been hired but I was still yelled at for tardiness. They then made me clean a fridge for 4 hours and paid me in pizza. 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, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Write down a notice of resignation. If you write it out and hand it to the manager you won't be so nervous you can't speak up, and it looks more professional. Good luck OP

This is a bad idea. Possible employers in the future might ask why they'd been fired. The internet also never forgets. If OP can't tell their boss they want to quit in person, they should rather consider writing a notice instead of trying to get their boss to fire them.

I don't see how this isn't a complete YDI

I really hope you're making more than just a buck for an entire shift.

Their boss cuts them off when they start to give their resignation and says something like "Oh, OP I need you to work these extra shifts. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this job." Chances are, if OP suffers from an anxiety disorder, they felt guilted into it and accepting the extra hours was a temporary diversion from having a panic attack. I could be wrong, but this is written from personal experience.

Just don't show up. People here keep saying that's terrible, but I've done it for several jobs now, and I keep getting better ones. I continue to move up in the world... It has not been a detriment.
