Class
I've thumbed across a handful of not so flattering departing posts recently, some more hastily written than others. It's not a good look. Look, I've been here going on eight years now, I'm telling you, now, it's not a good look.
Who cares
Fun fact worth considering before completely losing your shit on the way out the gate is no one cares.
Out of however many exit announcements I've seen, not once have I lost sleep. That's not to say I don't wish them the best, I do, good luck and all that. But this virtual existence is similar to real life in many aspects, one being, you're not as special as you think you are.
Breathe.
Hastily written exits can't be retracted. Sleep on it. If after careful consideration you're still convinced your departure warrants pity, well, then, do what you gotta do.
Hive doesn't forget those things. Remember that. I can't remember after this many years how many authors I've seen attempt a comeback after unleashing their inner-child but I know how many times it worked.
Speaks Volumes
If remaining silent or maintaining composure isn't your forté, consider a pro's & con's list, works for me. Pura and I pro & con often—large purchases / sells, relocating, a second dog, et cetera.
When you get all your con's written down and you've gone over them several times, meticulously edited each one and they're all arranged top to bottom from least to worst, carefully remove it from the notepad it's in, fold the page diagonally into thirds like a bandana and wipe your ass with it.
Now, meticulously edit and arrange the pro's the same way and unleash that on your way out.
Much thanks! No regrets. You've made a lasting impression, I won't forget some of you. It's time to pack it up pack it in—put the tools to the test—build a better self. Anything else is idle. There just isn't enough time to idle, peace!
Because..

..isn't a good look.
Have some class. You owe it to yourself to maintain a peaceful gate. That's not blockchain specific, either. Never can tell, there may come a time a return visit is on the books if for nothing else to announce a book deal.
If you cut out and come back to a locked gate that's rekeyed, it's likely due to user error.
Mmm
What I literally said to myself at the end of the post. Funny enough, something similar is happening to someone close to me(not on hive). I get that sometimes it’s easier to want to be childish because it doesn’t require you to think through things, think about the advantages and disadvantages. But I’ve come to understand that the moment you don’t want to think through things, just leave some space to deal with the consequences on the way….. Let me stylishly share this post with the person.
Good morning. It's morning here. Reading your comment first thing is refreshing. Thank you.
I've meant to say something about it for a long time. We've seen countless I hate this place posts over the years, I'm embarrassed for the authors when they do it. So, when I came across another one just the other day I was, settled!
The people throwing up posts about their departure are usually lame. The only one I would feel a little uneasy about is if blocktrades peace’s out but I don’t think that will happen yet.
I was waiting for more numbers on your microwave reflections. 20 is cool though.
Until you said that I didn't notice all you gotta do is scroll twice and clearly it's 20/20.
Good morning. I just got back from the auto joint. Why, you ask? Oh, because they were closed yesterday, didn't open til 7 this a.m and fucked up three outta three service repairs on Saturday, that's why!!! Dude I could hardly sleep last night. Serious, these dang anger issues woke me up at 3:50.
Shoooooot, blocktrades is on lock.
Hey man, I know I'm early but tomorrow's gonna be busy. Wanted to say happy anniversary to you and the missus! Hope you and Pura are doing good and enjoying the pups!
Car repair things are really annoying, especially when they fuck it up lol
AMEN!
Preach brother Dandy!
Nothing here gets under my skin more than an overwritten 'goodbye' filled with grievances. Do they expect someone to try talking them out of it in the comments? We get it... you didn't make any friends... can't imagine why...
I don't really care as much on other platforms. When I would see this kind of behavior on Twitter, for example, I just think "Ah, another one has come to their senses!" But to rage-quit Hive? That just means you hate freedom and accountability.
So long, suckers, and good riddance! Don't let the key verification subroutines hit ya on the way out!
Shit, should I have posted this with my other account? Ah, I'm not worried about it. If there's too much backlash, I can always just rage quit.
They do that on the other ones, too?! I thought Hive was special. I don't know wth they do it for. Pity n the comments like you said, 'please, stay!!! But you're the glue than bonds us together!'
Then they tag all the whale accounts like, 'I'm really gonna do it, I'm leaving, you'll be sorry.'
Lamer than a former president of the United States self-proclaiming his whale psychiatry.
maybe they want a little bit of attention and say now, my mind is made up. Maybe they have read too many romance novels and are hoping some greek god of a whale will come to their rescue, sweep them off their keyboard and change their minds. But even Days of our lives must end sometime. like a wise man once said....
He also said
Where's clothing optional when you need it?
Good morning. Helluva entertaining comment, thank you. Each time I see a rage quit I'm embarrassed for the author.
It's never gonna go away. And then they blast all the whale accounts on their way out like someone's gonna beg them to stay only leaves a blemish.
Much thanks!
💯 but this is the internet. perhaps the person was just a 15 year old girl pretending to be a cool crypto enthusiast... Also some people never grow up man. And like I always say, common sense ain't all that common.
Thank you sir. I aim to entertain.maling funny comments on hive is how I earn a living. It's much easier than dancing around on plastic heels! !LOL

This wiping... (you know) with a piece of rough paper is uncomfortable. I don't know, I'd burn it. Hahahaha...
Thank you.
But... Well, I don't want to have an opinion about that, just about the fact itself.
Those who leave, those who stay... Those who announce it, those who don't. These are human things, I guess.
I hope you never leave.
That's why I like you.
I was just informed they do the same thing on the other social sites so this isn't new to anyone. That happens a lot—similarities brought to my attention between here and the other ones cuz I've still never been to another one.
Ignorance is bliss, they say. I'm always last to find out, I say. = }
Much love, street photographer.

Hey!... Merry Christmas. I don't celebrate anything like that but maybe you do.... well whatever, have beautiful days and may all good things come to you. I hope you are well. 🙃😉
Kind of liberating once you realise this, hopefully before you've pressed "publish" on your quit post. You could just take a break, get some perspective and a couple of nights' sleep.
We may spell realize differently, you and I, but we see eye to eye, you and I.
I was just telling Jacey what's even worse is after they storm out, I unfollow them only to find out they never really stopped posting.
Thank you.
I was once following someone. At some point they put up a somewhat angry good-bye post. I always feel a little bit sorry when someone is so sad or mad that they decide to publicly burn their bridges. I like people to be happy, but, of course I then stopped following them, because.... why not? Not so long later, they commented on one of my posts and said they were sorry to see I unfollowed them and hoped they had not done something offensive to me and all that. What ??? I simply said they posted saying they were leaving, so I thought there would be no more posts and that was the reason.
It's making me grin a little to write this but....for real !
I grinned more than a little reading that.
I've experienced similar. See someone come back who's announced the whole I deserve better post and I unfollowed them only to find out they never really stopped posting. Funny.
How bout these last couple days though, whaaaatt? 75 and Sunny at 7am.. reminds me of home. I italic'd that cuz home's a funny word.
Oh... I love the time change, because I enjoy watching the sunset while I eat my lunch !
ha ha.... my sister sent something to me that said that on it because she knows how much I detest earlier darkness. YUCK !
Pfff, I forgot to write my departing post. 🤷♀️ Now I have no choice but to stay :D
(How that hand is doing btw? not the one we see in the reflection but the one that has to write and draw and take the photos)
You forget all the right things.
And you're a sweetheart. Thumb is about as good as I remember it being.
Finger.. Looks like I'm not gonna get the index back completely. Weird thing, life is. Motion, it's got probably 80% motion but strength wise, 50% at best, real week. And painful under stress. The mind's always compensating, even though my left is not my dominant hand, I've been teaching myself it's the strong one now. It's strange.
But from where I was at zero to now, even half.. I'll take it! Was so frightened there for awhile.
What about you, how are you holding up? I hope you and yours are well.
<3
Yeah, memory fail or what, I don't know.
Happy for your healthy thumb 👍 ;)) and I think index finger is also doing great with 80% of motion. Strength - his 9 brothers can help out, I hope 😀
(though I wish you it recovers completely one day 🤞)
We? Yes, we are all fine and safe, and otherwise nothing special just got a new home, new city, new commuting schedule and all what these things suppose. Excited and tired, but I am more than sure you know the feeling of all of this moving places thing ;)

Damn, now I wonder who's exit posts I missed in these weeks being online very little..
But I'll remember to write the bestest exit post and tag you when I leave one day, pinky promise! (just kidding, of course!)
Works pretty well btw, the pros and cons, I often want something or heck even if I crave some food while I know I should not order it, I scroll over uber eats, and scroll some more to then realize I'm ok without it, lol. Works the same with going over pros and cons.. At least I think so.
Sending !LUV for the weekend, of course for Atlas too!

Congratulations @dandays!
You raised your level and are now an Orca!
Check out our last posts:
LOL - this made me laugh pretty good...which I suppose is par for the course. I had my moment a couple of years back. I debated an explosive exit post, and then considered exactly what you've got here for the most part.
If I blow up and leave in a huff, people will mostly just laugh me off and forget about me...until I try to come back, and then they'll remember the hell out of me...
I have been spending so much time on my media server project lately, haven't been around at all. You sir, are one of the few people I actually think of outside the chain. There are a few others of course, people who have become actually real to me and whatever. I had a short stint of going back to old ways, but it was more of a "toe in the water" moment than a full resurgence. Ten plus years man...it only seems like a long time when you still think you want it.
Man, it's been 10 years since the last time I stuck my finger in an outlet...
...just doesn't have the same ring to it. Anyway, most of my dabblings just remind me that there's nothing to go back to, it's just an outlet in a bottle.
Hope you're well man, glad to see you're still out there doing things and stuff and shit like that.
...new dog...like...for real? Is Atlas a girl? (not the one who shrugged back in the 50's or whatever)
Thank you for voting my posts. Just wanted you to know I didn't miss seeing that you did. Now get on back here and write something funny ! :)
