Worst job ever.

What is the worst job you have ever had and why was it the worst?

I drove a taxi for 3 days and quit. People are shit birds.

 

[chillywilly2]

I was going to say shoveling the scale out of the rolling mill pits at the steel mill, but James reminded me of my days as a cab driver...what we won't do to get through school

 

[BotanyBoy]

Got a couple categories.,,

People:
Waiting tables.....EVERYONE should have to wait tables for at least a month of their life. Like JBJ said, people are shit birds.

Physical beat down:
Flooring....I installed flooring for a couple years in my late teens right before the army. Absolutely some of the most knee busting/back breaking labor out there hands down.

Single nastiest job? Burning shit in the Army...you've never hated life until you had to spend your day stirring 55gal drums of burning shit. You know what just add being an E-1 to E-3 in any Infantry unit.....it's just horrible all day every day.

I have worked in retail and once I was asked to clean one of the restrooms because a customer had an accident. When I went in there was excrement smeared all over the walls and stalls. There are some seriously disturbed people who would come shopping through our store. This is just one example of that.

Ha! My job cleaning ship stacks of creosote cant match driving a cab. In Tampa a cab is the hood ATM.

 

[PoppingTom]

Door selling. I did it exactly one day. Felt like being a beggar, from both work and payment.

Second worst was riveting lighting protection. Less the work, more the enterprise. Really assholes. Only fun I had was sticking the middle finger at the end of the week. Never work for Brandenburg enterprises. They think in capitalism, it's a duty to be an asshole.

Sugar Baby. He was so hairy.

I'm totally kidding.

Babysitting. I like to be pampered and fed. Now this little runt is bossing me around, for 10 bucks an hour. For like...4 hours. Wooooow.

Next time I'm just going to say I'm Mexican since I can pass and feign an accent, so they book me double time, and I get respectable pay!

Personally I loved my days waiting tables, I made a lot of money, partied all the time... great times.

My worst job was my first job, putting alarms on clothing at a store called Jack's (then on 34th st across from Macys, now a block over). This was some seriously cheap shit so why put an alarm on a $4.99 shirt? I was in a basement all day with two other people who had been putting alarms on clothing for 2-3 years, for minimum wage. They lorded over me with their experise and criticized me constantly. It sucked so bad I became inspired to improve myself. I lasted about a month.

Actually now that I think about it, it's a tie. My other horrible job was being an "exotic dancer". I truly hated it, regardless of how much money I was making. I worked at one club for a week then quit to try a different club, that sucked too so I went back to waiting tables. I think I fell for that whole "empowerment" thing and that's why I gave it a try. I very quickly could see why most of the women turned gay over time.

 

[Aquagal]

Taco Bell. But hey, I got Employee of the Month one time. I lasted three months.

People are shitbirds.

Edit: I could never get that bean smell out of my polyester uniform no matter how well I washed it.

 

[greygotskills]

That is pretty sad that those two ladies in order to make themselves feel grand and important felt that they needed to berate you. Their job was placing security tags on cheap clothing it's not like they were engineering a cure for cancer or something.

Assistant crack whore.

 

[greygotskills]

I know the feeling. I use to work at a fast food burger joint and I could never get the smell of onions rings out of my uniform. I spent a lot of time attending to the fryers.

Taco Bell? And you're the one who made the yummy enchiladas? Or is that someone else?

 

[Mercury_Maniac]

I have to say it was that one job where i had to work around people.

 

[Aquagal]

Taco Bell? And you're the one who made the yummy enchiladas? Or is that someone else?

Yes, I made the enchilada thread, they are much better than the enchiritos I had to make 30 years ago.

Weird I can still conjure up that beany uniform smell.

 

[RjThoughts]

I worked four days at a shoe store. People are so shit!! Thank God the manager saw I was having a difficult time holding my tongue.

 

[Que]

Janitor. One of the accounts I did was a glass factory. I couldn't blame the workers for not wanting to aim with the hands that might have glass shards on them. Accuracy in the mens room was abysmal.

 

[Mr Noone]

Tie: busboy in a Ramada Inn that lasted a week. The uneaten food made my nauseous. Two, office cleaner in a factory that made dust. Seriously they ground metal into powder (for what purpose I have no idea). Needless to say, the office was always filthy. Who knows how much of that shite I breathed in. But I did it a whole semester.

25 cent taco Sunday!!

 

[RjThoughts]

25 cent taco Sunday!!

I worked at Chuck E Cheese for a little over 2 years, when they had all-you-can-eat pizza nights. The women's restroom was always, ALWAYS, worse than a men's room after 25 cent beer and taco night.

 

[Tony2015]

What is the worst job you have ever had and why was it the worst?

Teachers Assistant in public school. Because for 20 years all I wanted to do was teach, and when I finally got a job in public schools, I found that I was little more than a baby sitter.

 

[Sinny]

Assistant crack whore.

Try being the assistant to the assistant crack whore. The worst was cleaning the pipe and cutting those itty bitty pieces of steel wool. Enough!
