I actually stood up and walked out one day without bothering to quit. I worked for a company years ago and my immediate supervisor had the habit of calling me quite 'nasty' names in front of everyone. First I tried one-on-one discussions, then I started the complaint process, and finally I just decided it was not worth the headache and walked out (this was actually after months of this). Funny, but they kept calling me to come back temporarily to help out with their network. Everytime they called I asked if my old boss was still working there and when they replied yes, I gave my apologies and declined.
