Default What was the worst job you ever had?

Mine had to be either working at Crown Books or at Banana Republic. Oh my god, stupid customers would just drive me insane with stupid stuff like, wheres this book and how come I cant find it, and I know im a size 6 so Im wondering why this doesnt fit. Jeez nearly had a nervous breakdown a couple of times when I would spend like 3 hours cleaning a section and stupid soccer moms would come in with their stupid kids and trash the section I just slaved on.

Arrgghhhhhhh.....still brings back bad memories.

How about being in the service, doing KP (kitchen police) and latrine duty (cleaning the johns). After that, everything was a snap!

My worst job was working at Edwards Cinema. There were cockroaches, you were picking up trash all the time, cleaning the bathrooms, working weekends late, and get only minimum wage. The only good thing was you got to see all the movies for free and you can get friends in.

Doing Drywall

I don't mind physical labor at all - but Drywall just seemed pointless. - Did for 3 months learned a little, but feel I accomplished nothing.

One time I was paid $50 to break up a bunch of drywall and concrete ... total estimated time was supposed to be about 3-4 hours ... IT TOOK ME THE ENTIRE DAY! May God have mercy on those who do this for a living......

Hauling the bodies of the violently departed to the state morgue for autopsy. Believe it or not, they were flat-rated (paid by the head) so the only way to make money was to stack them up. Top that!

Well... I had to saw the upper and lower jaws from the body of a bad burns victim once, who was only identifiable by dental records.

The pathologist was getting on a bit and said despite my protests, that if I didn't allow him a breather, I'd be attending the autopsy on him....................next!

I worked in the coal mines for a while. It wasn't all bad, I worked with some great people. I think the worst part of all was on a beautiful sunny day standing waiting to go underground on the 2pm - 10pm shift, having a last cigarette with the Sun on your face. Many a time I saw blokes say "Sod it" and go home.

I worked at a rectory and one priest had me cut his ingrown toe nails. SICK!
