No idea what a 'bunny boiler' is, but I've burned bridges from several people in the past...especially past employers.
I'm lucky to have a job right now!

Bridge burner...I'd rather just move on with my life than get the pleasure of making someone else miserable, along with me. Although I have been guilty of boiling a couple of bunnies in my younger, more vindictive days.
