Re: Then again--

Of course bosses are annoying. It happens all the time. But hey, life is rough - you get to DEAL with it. Want to verbally lash out (or, if you're truly stupid enough, physically..) to satisfy your over-inflated sense of entitlement? Go right ahead!

You'll have no recommendation for your next job, and will have a very hard time finding one. You'll have no answer for why your last employment was terminated, and consequently any interview you do get will be very short.

Stores and restaurants get at least 10 applicants for every open position. Do you really think your skills are so extraordinary as to vault you AHEAD of another person whose experience does not include choosing to get fired? References will be called and verified - you can't hide from your past.

There's exactly one solution to this work situation. Continue in your present employment until you find another job - then (and only then!) simply give your 2 weeks' notice, and leave on positive terms.

Be professional about it. You have to realize the situations in which somebody remotely cares about your feelings.. this isn't one of them.
