I quit

Done with this

I quit is a declaration of resignation or surrender.

Most often it announces leaving a job: I quit—find someone else to do your grunt work.

It also signals giving up on an activity or habit: I quit smoking last year.

In games or arguments, it concedes defeat: Fine, I quit. You win.
