quitting a job without another lined up

Has anyone here put in their two weeks notice at a job without anything else lined up? I've been working at a high-end clothing store for a few months and my body is screaming at me that it's time to leave. My manager is a psycho who lies and attempts to emotionally manipulate her associates. Many of the customers have become monsters due to the store's incredibly forgiving return policies. Upper management is very cold and does not trust their employees in the slightest. I took this job after graduation because I couldn't find much in the area for my degree, and I just needed work ASAP. I've always been regarded as a very polite, kind, approachable person - but after being insulted and lied about for several months on end I feel like I've started to turn into a shitty person like them. I have a degree, and I'm currently living with family so I have some financial leeway if I don't find work within these two weeks. I'll probably move back downtown and attempt to gain my soul back, even if that means paying rent and being poor again.

...so, yeah. Has anybody given their boss the slip without another job lined up? What was your experience like? Is it worth it since I'll be leaving a hostile, emotionally unhealthy work environment? I'm read to get the fuck out of this depressive shithole and do what I was fucking meant to do with my degree.
