In over the board chess there are several ways that people react in order to show a resignation, some pick the king up and turn it over, others stop the clocks, some do it verbally, some dont bother and just play on till mate and others simply offer a handshake.
Which one do you like to do? Personally, I quite like the stopping the clocks and a handshake approach, although in blitz I quite often play until mate or flagfall.

1: Topple the king/lay it on its side and congratulate my opponent.
2: Place a hand on either side of the board and fling it violently to the side, leap onto the table and attempt a headbut while being on all fours from the top of the table followed by a tyrade of abuse about my opponent being an Rtarded noob that cheated and put me off,for my piece da resistance I like to curl up in a ball in the nearest corner and sob like a four year old girl.

EDIT: In the game analysis board there is an option called "flip board" which turns the board around. But, everytime I see it I think of an action similiar to what you describe.

Turn around to your other club members & say "screw you guys, I'm going home".

Yes, Dorking is just around the corner. Horsham is closer though & they have a very active club & their 1st & 2nd teams are both in mid Sussex div 1 as (now) is Crawley 1.
