The film American Beauty has probably the best scene of someone quitting their job I have ever seen, though fight club comes a close second.
I used to work for a language school in Tokyo and when one of the other teachers, a very tall young British guy was told he was to be terminated he responded by showing up for his last day in leather pants, a dracula cape and full goth make-up (including the teeth). The school had a strict dress code, but no mention of capes that I can recall. It also had a serious aversion to cancelling student's classes so the teacher was sent into the classroom where he proceeded to chain smoke, guzzle copious amounts of cranberry vodka cooler and flirt outrageously with the younger female students.
A regional manager came around and asked him to leave early by midafternoon.
