The Art of Throwing in the Towel: Methods

When life gets too much, and you just can't take it anymore, it's time to throw in the towel. But not just any towel will do. Here are some methods for throwing in the towel with malice.

The Classic Sudden-Stop

1. Stop in your tracks. Abruptly cease all activity. Freeze in place like a statue of disappointment.

The Scream-and-Run

2. Scream "I QUIT!". Run out the door like a lunatic. Never look back.

The Passive-Aggressive-Storm-Off

3. Give the cold shoulder. Act like you're listening, but really you're seething inside.

The Fake-Phone-Call

4. Fake a phone call. "Oh, I have to go, I'm on the phone with my mother." When in reality, you're just scrolling through memes.

The Blame-The-System

5. Point out the obvious. "It's not me, it's the system that's broken!" when really, it's just your own ineptness.
