    Worst job you've had?
    What was/is the worst job you've had?

    I had two crap ones while going through college.

    Worked in a cold store unpackaging meat products after they had sat by the roadside for hours when the refrigerated truck they were in rolled over. The meat was being sent to the dog food factory. All of it stunk like shit and some of it was moldy. My girlfriend thought it was a funny joke at the time to pack me a ham sandwich for lunch. On top of that the boss was a dumb mfker who used to abuse the staff all the time. Didn't take long to move on from there.

    At another stage I did some telemarketing work. That fukking sucked. I was shit at it because if someone said no i'd just say "Thanks for your time" and not go the hard sell. I'd get abused a lot by people. Some bitch even asked me one day if I was in a call centre in India. (I'm not of Indian descent) I asked her if I seriously sounded Indian. It was also soul destroying to suck at selling so bad. Again I didn't last long there.

    Those jobs sucked the big one. What's yours?

      I worked 2 days for a staffing agency cleaning the sacramento kings stadiums before i quit.

      The first 2-3 hours were spent bending over throwing trash in black plastic bags. Followed by sweeping and eventually mopping the floors. Moping was the worst. Tge stadium went from high to low. So you walked down 40 or so rows. Do the bottom 3 rows. Then walk up 37 rows to change your water. Then walk back down do 3 rows.

      What a crappy job.

          Working 3rd shift in a frozen food factory. 0 degrees inside year round.
          Working there in the summer was worse than the winter.

            Concrete patios.

            The cash was nice, but definitely not worth the aches and pains after a 8 hour day of work.

                    worked at an airport...kinda customer service job...just helping people find transportation...WORST job ever...SOOO BORING...Then we had some lame greeting we had to say to EVERY single person... Just terrible....Sounded like a bunch of robots! Not to mention, standing all day..in the sun/rain/wind etc....to have to say the same thing in these conditions were just bad.....but then you had a couple managers who thought they owned the place and made this 10X worse...

                      Worked for a uniform place for a month. Slaughterhouse uniforms would come in covered in blood and maggots. not fun.

                      Did telemarketing as kid, that sucked, but i became good at it.

                      Worked for nestle at an ice cream factory. Gained 100 lbs eating product and it was freezing cold in the factory.

                        Always wondered about that when leaving stadiums that were just filled with rubbish after games. The mopping would have sucked a dikk.

                                Hospital laundry for 1 week. Found a new job over the weekend so I wouldn't have to go back. Never been so motivated to find a job.

                                Surprisingly the worst stuff wasn't the blood and shit and spew covered sheets. The stuff from the kitchen made your eyes water it smelled so bad. Closely followed by 200 litre bags full of baby nappies.
                                .

                                  I THOUGHT I had a few crappy jobs but after reading everyone else's posts above, I just realized that mine weren't too bad after all.
