How would you quit your job?

After a JetBlue flight attendant cursed passengers, quit, grabbed some beer and jumped down an emergency slide and onto the tarmac from a plane at JFK International Airport Monday, Philadelphians revealed some of the crazy things they'd do to go out with a bang.

After a JetBlue flight attendant cursed passengers, quit, grabbed some beer and jumped down an emergency slide and onto the tarmac from a plane at JFK International Airport Monday, Philadelphians revealed some of the crazy things they'd do to go out with a bang.

"I would put roaches in salads and drinks," said Michelle Griffin, 18, of West Philly, who works at a McDonald's in Center City. Griffin sat with a co-worker during their lunch break last night, munching on some grub as she detailed her gross, roach-filled revenge fantasy.

Meanwhile, whoever decides to hire Jazamine Stallings probably shouldn't get on her bad side. "If my boss had pissed me off I probably would pay someone to go and slap him," said Stallings, 22, who has plans of going to law school.

Those who work in public safety generally practice it, right? Wrong. "I would probably just punch my supervisor in the face," said Shawn Moore, a Drexel public-safety officer who was riding a bicycle near the campus.

Some who wish to quit in style simply just want to get away - far, far away.

"I would fly to Europe and live for a month and just disappear," said Joanna, 20, who declined to give her last name, but revealed that she works at Savas Brick Oven Pizza, 35th Street and Lancaster Avenue.

Like the beer taken for the road by JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, some people would take a reminder of their hated job with them.

"I would steal s---," said Caitlin Lemaire, 22.

Her boss doesn't have to worry about Lemaire at the moment, though, as she doesn't currently have one.

Like millions of other Americans who have made Slater a cult hero, Lemaire's unemployed and looking for work.
