( CNN ) -- On a bad day at work , during an I-can't-take-it-any-more moment , we 've probably fantasized about outlandish ways to quit our jobs . This week , Steven Slater , a flight attendant for JetBlue Airways , made a dramatic job exit : cursing and sliding down the plane 's emergency chute with beer in his hand . Slater 's job-quitting performance has been hailed as heroic by some people . CNN asked readers and iReporters to share their stories about quitting in a dramatic , and oftentimes unprofessional , way . Kathi Cordsen , a 58-year-old in Fullerton , California , who shared her story on CNN 's iReport , says she understood Slater 's agony . She thought about walking out of the pharmacy where her hours had been cut after she worked there for three years . In her imaginary world , she would have told her `` disorganized '' boss to `` shove it . '' In reality , she left a note on the back of a receipt that read , `` Saturday is my last day . '' She politely said goodbye but was satisfied that the store had only about five days to scramble to find her replacement . `` After I wrote the note , I felt relieved , '' Cordsen said . `` There is an end to this , and I do n't have to stress out anymore . '' Share your fantasy `` I quit '' story . Another iReporter , dg56789 , shared a story about quitting a bus driving job after getting into an argument with a teacher who demanded that a child be seated contrary to the rules . The driver handed the teacher the keys before walking off and telling the teacher to drive it herself . CNN commenter `` Becca '' told a story that involved things flying through the air at the Brooklyn shoe store where she had been working . She said she and another employee had an argument , and he threw at ladder at her . She threw a pair of stilettos at him and then knocked down a display of sandals as she left the building , cursing at everyone . Career experts usually advise that quitting a job be done with consideration and professionalism . Supervisors should be notified in advance , typically at least two weeks before the last day . Employees attempting to leave should stay on top of responsibilities and avoid insulting co-workers . `` Do n't let your emotions overtake your logic , because the business world is a logical world , '' said Meg Montford , a career coach of based in Kansas City , Missouri . `` Emotions can get the best of us . Sometimes , if we express them inappropriately , we may regret it later . '' Careermag.com , a publication offering career information , advised impatient quitters to avoid burning bridges . The employee should think about the future , such as how former managers and co-workers may be contacted when you apply for other jobs . Make a graceful online exit from a job . But employers should still be honest about their problems with the company and the workplace when they leave , the site said . Sometimes -- as seen in Slater 's case -- frustrations with work can spiral out of control before an employee can carefully plot his or her exit . CNN commenter `` Vicki '' could relate to the flight attendant 's work troubles . She recalled working as a customer service manager at Wal-Mart during Christmas and dealing with an angry customer . She finally yelled at the customer while walking out of the job . `` Well , I was n't real proud that I handled that situation that way but I can relate on how things can build up to a point where you just ca n't handle it , '' she said . How not to enrage your flight attendant . Another CNN commenter , `` Doug H , '' shared his own last straw . While working as a sexton at a local cemetery , he was asked to dig a plot for a child . He had dug graves for adults without any hesitation , but the idea of digging for a child made him uneasy . He refused to do it , which caused the cemetery manager to yell . Doug says he simply `` turned around and walked away . '' A CNN commenter called `` Spongebob '' worked at a company that trains military pilots . After six years , sick of the department 's supervisors , he detailed his frustrations to them and walked out . Luckily , he received a promotion to another site within the company . CNN commenter `` Charlie , '' who was a waiter in New York , gave a theatrical exit . While working a double shift , he became engaged in a fight with a host , who was assigning too many tables for him to handle . `` Charlie '' erupted , slamming plates against the wall , throwing his apron on the floor and cursing at the host before heading out the door . `` Needless to say , I 'm not welcome in that place anymore , '' he wrote . `` But good riddance .
