1. A colourful freelancer
You'd think that this multi-coloured letter was written by a five-year-old, but this magnificent crayon creation is actually Cat Sacdalen's genuine resignation letter.
I'm not so confident she managed to get some freelance work, though!

2. Aye, aye, captain!
This email seems like a regular sample resignation letter, until it suddenly takes an unexpected turn, with the employee announcing that they've decided to become a full-time pirate. They even mention that they're currently accepting job applications for a first mate!
I'm not sure if this is genuine or a practical joke, but it definitely deserves a place on our list of funny resignation letters!

3. Flushed out
Luke's rude but amusing resignation letter was clearly planned during his time on the toilet. He even makes a clever pun in his letter – written on a sheet of toilet paper – and announces he's flushing his boss out of his life!

4. The sweetest resignation letter
Chris Holmes, aka Mr Cake, may have written the tastiest resignation letter in history when he quit his job at Stansted Airport to pursue his dream of opening his own bakery. His smart farewell letter was not only a sweet touch but also a great way to promote his business.

5. An angry note
This employee obviously had enough of his boss Frank standing around talking all the time that he ended up scribbling his thoughts down in a handwritten note.

6. Sorry for your loss
Todd was thoughtful enough to get his boss a card and wish him his condolences. The occasion? His resignation. That is definitely a great alternative use for a greeting card!
Reddit
7. A vicious cycle
This employee decided to quit their job because they didn't have time to blog and went on to explain the negative effects this would have on the company.
This must be one of the most bizarre resignation letters you'll ever come across.

8. The worst receipt ever
Who needs paper when you have a receipt to scribble your resignation on? Andrew here certainly didn't! The rude letter even calls his boss a 'drunk pig' and includes a custom checkbox asking his boss not to contact him.

9. Jurassic work
The artist behind this masterpiece used the back of a receipt to pen out their resignation letter accompanied by a picture of a dinosaur.
Is normal paper going extinct?

10. One pint of resignation, please!
This self-proclaimed 'socially awkward' employee broke the news to his boss in the best way possible: with beer.
I guess you could say he made his resignation a little more beer-able!

11. Rock 'n' roll out of work
Eric's resignation letter might be messy, but it certainly gets the job done. And I bet his boss indeed never has seen a resignation letter with a Van Halen logo on it before!
Guff
12. Gonna hafta resign
Tom's resignation letter isn't exactly what you'd expect from an ex-employee of Bank of America. I bet Doug wasn't very impressed with his messy penmanship and wobbly vocabulary, either.

13. Have a swell day
This employee wasn't having a good day. First, a drunk coworker attacked them and then the boss refused to fire them because they didn't want to cover their shift. So, this disgruntled employee took matters into their own hands.
Seems like their boss will have to cover that shift after all!
Reddit
14. A symbolic message
There was definitely some thought put into this resignation letter. Indeed, the symbolic use of toilet paper perfectly captures the person's feelings about their ex-employer and definitely gets their message across.

15. That's life, eh?
This anonymous employee decided to give their boss some feedback after receiving some unfair remarks. Their unapologetic letter is topped off with an even funnier yet rude final remark which adds even more salt to the wound.

16. Mic drop
Elizabeth wanted to drop the mic after quitting her job, and although you can't really do a mic drop in a handwritten letter, she definitely found a creative way around it.
Absolutely Connected
17. Loud and clear
This audacious resignation letter gets the message across loud and clear. But just because this employee quit their job, it doesn't mean that they're missing out on the office Christmas party!
Reddit
18. The last hurrah
The writer of this resignation letter seems to be channelling their inner Shakespeare. Their intentions behind the letter only become clear with the phrase 'the end of all ends to my employment', cutting his eloquent prose short, and bringing the reader back to reality.

19. Mass exodus
The owners of this store were left scratching their heads after their entire team decided to quit. Hopefully they've learned their lesson!

20. A star is gone
Despite calling herself a 'quitter', Bella seems to be pretty confident about her decision, as her self-portrait also illustrates.

21. Less is more
In order to get their last paycheque, this employee had to deliver an official resignation letter to their ex-manager. The empty page speaks volumes of how they felt about their job…
Reddit
22. Groundhog Day
What starts off as a seemingly serious resignation letter progressively turns into an entertaining account of Simon's experiences at his company. His criticism isn't short of colourful similes and metaphors, which make his points both hilarious but also brutally honest. Meanwhile, his final remarks are the cherry on top of this funny letter!
Imgur
23. Farewell to the reader
Much like the other employee's 'last hurrah', this resignation letter sounds like it was written in an alternate universe. But despite the cheeky tone, it seems like the writer behind it had good intentions and probably gave their boss a laugh.
Reddit
24. A poetic resignation
This employee wanted their resignation to have a poetic ending – quite literally. With a simple series of rhyming couplets, they explain their reasons for leaving to their boss, in the hope that they won't be cross (see what I did there?).
I'm sure that this resignation poem softened the blow.

25. Stunningly honest
Spencer's resignation letter is as honest as it is entertaining. Indeed, he doesn't hold back as he describes his bad experience at the job, calling his ex-manager a 'devil in disguise' whose sole purpose was to make his life difficult.
I can't say that I blame him walking out.
Imgur
You might be tempted to take a page out of these employees' books, but it would probably be more sensible to keep your sentiments to yourself.
Making a grand exit from work might sound like a good idea, but it's crucial to quit your job gracefully with a professional resignation letter. After all, you never know when you'll need a reference!
