Your worst ever job.

[Samdy Gray]

As a teenager me and a mate got £80 each for cleaning out the cellar of our local newsagents. It was fucking disgusting. Dirty, smelly, dead rats... had to clear up a load of old stock and lob it in a skip.

Best thing was we found a box load of porno mags, which to a couple of 14 year olds was a fucking goldmine and better than the £80 we got paid

Wises bakery, food fight was quality though

That was without a doubt my worst job as well.  I was 15 at the time (summer 1988) and the temp agency I went through suggested I lie about my age to get the job.  I lasted three weeks and couldn't stand the place.  Made me shudder to think there were people who had worked there for most of their working lives.

My second worst job was on the production line at the Anchor Butter factory at Blagrove.  I was probably 16 then.  My job, for 2 weeks, was to scoop a cup of salt from a vat and pour it on to an unsalted block of New Zealand butter as it passed me on the conveyer.  Shifts started at 6am, and to counter the tiredness and boredom I actually learned to do this with my eyes closed - which lead to a reprimand towards the end of the 2 weeks for being asleep on the job.  Happy days.

my old job at Brocol
My lifeguarding job hasnt its moments mind you ... scooping poo out of the pool... having to pick up a used sanitary towel off the changing room floor.... :chunder:

I worked in a nightclub for years...loved the job but the toilets at the end of the night were always gross... most people would imagine it to be the blokes... but some women are fucking disgusting creatures!

They do seem to say that women are more disgusting then men, you always imagine it the other way around though.....

I think my worst job was probably temping for Zurich..putting training litreture (sp ?) into boxes..the only upside was I could perv on and flirt with the young girl that was doing it with me - didn't get anywhere though, she wouldn't give me a go on her  

[Jamiesfuturewife]

too true Miss Angry the womens changing rooms are always ten times worse than the mens

The loos are always blocked with big poos that wont flush away and my boss has to put on rubber gloves and pull them out - I draw the line at doing that!!!!  :shock:

[Bushey Boy]

Every job has good and bads, picking up used needles ina  stupid hostel I run isnt the greatest at teh mo, worst job ever was nut cracking in costco Bushey whenm I was 16, killed my hands!

[Reg Smeeton]

The worst job I ever had was retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's bum.

    The shortest time in a job I ever had was as a scaffolder.....foreman: Reg...could you move thoose scaffolding poles over there.   Reg: Why?  foreman: You're sacked mate, you don't ask questions, just do as you're told.

[sonic youth]

the only job i've really loathed was a summer temp job where i was told i'd be answering phones and so on only to discover they expected me to stuff envelopes and postmark them for a whole day.

i never went back and never got paid for that day of work either...

longest i've lasted in a job is about 6 months i think and i've been sacked from all but one.

How could I forget.

My first "Job" in Thailand was teaching English to Thai's

I had NO qualifications, NO training and NO clue.

I was given some workbook to work from which was full of grammatical errors: "I like go shopping", "I am liking this movie" ect, which I pointed out to the owner of this "School".

His response was:
Him "You have degree?"
Me "No"
Him "Well then I right, you wrong!"

One day a student of mine questioned the spelling of 'quayside', which went to headmaster and he argued that the student was correct in that his spelling of 'keyside' was correct. He also went onto say:

"You terrible teacher, you fired", to which I replied:

"Correction. You are a terrible teacher, and you are fired"

Terrible job, but at least I got the last word.

Whilst I was at secondary-school my friends dad owned a corner-shop. He brought in 'special magazines' and gave them out free. Until the head of the year confiscated them all

[Dazzza]

Cold calling job in Oz selling an alternative service down existing phone lines.

Turned up at the interview with a local who was smacked off his tits we both got the job.  He lasted an hour I lasted a day.  The amount of abuse was unbelievable.

Ive never had a Job I liked.

Ive also done the the shitty agency rounds

3 Hours and fuck off at Wises ,2 Hours at Anchor.Worked at a several Electronic cabling places thats would always go bust.Worked at a Fire Extinguisher Warehouse  thats was fun setting off the Co2 thingys and firing them at each other like rockets,got sacked from that for writing"Fuck off you West Ham Cunt" on a box that got sent to London :| (I was 16ish)

I honestly do not believe there is a job that I would like to do or if there is I cant think what it is,which has always been my problem.

For me job satisfaction is knowing that you have acheived something significant, or that you are noted for having a particular skill.

Despite me starting this thread I have had many jobs that I have liked, even loved. Sales is one of them, especially cold-line sales because the lead/prospect sit's down in front of you absolutlely adamant (Ant music yeah, to save anyone the bother) that they will never ever ever buy anything from you, yet 4 hours or so later they are putting pen to paper. For me that sense of victory makes the job so rewarding.

Also, when I worked for Nationwide life b4 I came here I was known for being able to apply lateral thinking towards problem solving and was therefore often called upon for help, and called into meetings. For me that kind of thing gave me a sense of importance and appreaction which made me leave work knowing that I had done a good day's graft.

I don't know how old you are Yoevil, but there is something out there for everybody mate!
