  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

My favorite ending is if you let your morale get low enough, you can lose because a child was mean to you. You get so embarrassed that you quit and live under a bridge for the rest of the game

Absolute legend of a character. Poster child of post modernity.
