whats the worst job you ever had?
mine was when i had work experience,
at northern and shell in docklands, LONDON( along with 10 other students) a publishing company i worked at the accounts department, throwing away OOD subscribers. by looking at a small screen with revolving data. makes your eyes feel dizzy. some are working at this department where they slip leaflets in the mags, some of the girls complained to the school. WHY? it was porn magazines. my fellow colleage (student) wanted a transfer to steal one, jeez. |
Worst ever job was as "bean boy" at a large Mexican restaurant. This involved an 12hr shift spent stirring a huge pot (big enough to fit oneself in) of refried beans- not easy they have the viscosity of setting concrete. Also stripping rotting chicken carcasses so we could make use the meat in the lovely food we used to produce.
I used to get the princely sum of £8 after tax for this work. |

Had to microfiche documents for the NHS one summer...get file, remove staples, feed machine, jam machine, shuffle documents, re-staple, re-file, repeat...ugghh
Also did a stint as a security guard in office blocks in London...fullfilling. Cman |
Worked for Safeway at the food complaints area one summer - every post would bring several large sackloads of rotting produce to be sorted through.

Pesticide spray testing for ICI.
Was a cr@ppy summer job which involved getting dressed up in a chemical suit, including hood, gloves, goggles and breathing apparatus. Spent the whole day in massive greenhouses spraying plants in 110 degrees of heat !! My nuts would nearly be touching the ground at the end of each day. |
xmas job on the farm when I was at school.
Turkeys. That's all you need to know. (and to think I'm going to hell for £2 per hour) |
My student job was working at Kwik Save watching people fight over the last loaf of No Frills Bread :rolleyes:
I used to work on the chilled goods at weekend and would have to do all the damaged / OOD returns. Great way to spend an hour, freezing your nads off whilst handling boxes of manky crap. Had some good laughs though. On one twilights shift, one of the guys ran down the freezer lids and chucked himself through an 8ft pallet of toilet roll :D :D |
Part time work in SavaCentre (Supermarket) Basildon as a warehouse slave when I was a student. Always seemed to end up working in the freezers, you could never find a freezer jacket. Work for half and hour, outside to thaw out for a few mins, then back for another half hour, etc. Nice and cool in the summer though :D
|
Working in a butchers shop, cleaning the walk-in fridges and floors. The smell took a while to get used to. All day Saturday for 7 quid.
|
I had to shovel rubbish at a council tip from the main gates to the compound.
The rubbish was left by people who turned up after hours and dumped their sh1t at the locked gates. It wasnt technically a job though. I was there for a total of 240 hours.......:rolleyes: |

Worked as a live in home help years ago for a guy in Fulham with Multiple Sclerosis.
He was German. He was also ex-services. So was rigid in his regime of what time he got up (8am preeecisely), what he'd eat, "it iz Tuezday, zo, it iz the makeral on ze toast, not ze marmite! look at ze list!" He'd also piss a little too often for my liking. I'd have to undo his trousers and place his penis in a 'pisspotthing' "Ya zat ist good, ahh"....then dab it with a tissue so he wouldn't stain his white underpants. If we went out shopping and the checkout assistant made the mistake of talking to me instead of him he'd shout and call them every name under the sun and a few more. After we'd left the shop I'd have to wipe the spittle from around his mouth and give him a drink of water and an aspirin. He hated the English and when I dared to ask him why he'd only reply "Ha! you think you are zo clever don't you?" and make me mop the floor or something. God I hated him. Still, could have been worse. Andy :) |

^^ I agree. How could it have been worse?

Hmmm, I worked for a supermarket chain -that shall remain nameless- when I was doing my A-levels. Let's just say it paid 1.96 an hour and leave it at that shall we? :-(
I was there for less than a month! Best |
Temped in the office of dog food manufacturer, where the dog food was made beneath the overheated portacabin I was in :eek:
Wore a suit on day one and even after a dry clean I had to chuck the suit ... imagine the smell of a 'Marshalls Chunky Chicken Plant' on a hot summers day with no wind and then multiply by 1,000 Feck did it stink :eek: Whilst I was there the pet food maker was fined £10,000 for pouring pure untreated waste straight in to the River of Leith :rolleyes: I will never forget the smell ... truly offal ;) |
One summer job working on a production line, packing up loads of bottles of kitchen cleaning products. The machine would send 6 bottles of bleach down every 5 seconds or so and you had to screw the caps on them :(
To manage this you had to have 3 caps in each hand, and use both hands to sort out the 6 bottles - highly stressful and dangerous job - my lips went bright blue one day cos I got some of the chemicals on them, and always got bollocked for not wearing my goggles properly :D The only good bit in the factory was on the Jif Cream line - one section of the line, they gave you a rubber mallet, one person placed the tops on the bottles and the mallet holder hit them on - if you were pissed off you could hit a bottle at full whack and it would explode everywhere :D |

Folding blankets at a NHS hospital, sorting surgical gowns all in 95% temps :(
I hated every minute of it. After doing it for 4 weeks I quit. But the worst thing had to be the static shocks :eek: :eek:, think of blankets that have been together for 4 hours in a washing machine at 100% and then pulling them apart :eek: Darren |

imagine the smell of a 'Marshalls Chunky Chicken Plant' on a hot summers day with no wind and then multiply by 1,000 I'm probably doing the worst job I've ever had. So boring, so unrewarding, so much pressure and so much 24/7 hassle from the public! |
