Night shift at an OAPs home for those with psychiatric conditions (senility, prkinsons, alzheimers, etc). Stuffed food in one end then cleaned it up as it came out the other. When they died we had to clean the corpse before the undertaker arrived. As they couldn't communicate they'd punch, bite and scratch to make their feelings known. One night this made woman crapped herself in bed then decide to crawl across the floor to get away from it. Needless to say their was shit smeared everywhere and the two of us had to clean it up.

I now believe wholeheartedly in euthanasia, I never ever want to end up a useless mass of flesh that eats and craps. It is just dehumanising.

The holiday job at a scabby dry-cleaners in Lewes. The place was run by a complete nutter and should have had a sign on the door reading "We Only Dry-clean Really Stinking Scabby Clothes". I was only 14 and supposed to be grateful for the chance to earn next to nothing while being poisoned by the dry cleaning fumes and the niff off the clothes.

As a "grown-up", worst job was probably picking pears in Israel. Sounds idyllic but you got up at 4.00am, reported to the kibbutz canteen for an undrinkable cup of lukewarm tea and then dispatched to the endless rows of pear trees. Where you worked for several monotonous hours under the kindly eye of a foreman whose understanding of civilised personnel management was on a par with Saddam Hussein's understanding of human rights.

Hosing down the shower block after tennis lessons in a girl's boarding school. £10 quid a week; mind you, that's all I could afford to pay back then.

Worked a summer on Palace Pier when I was a student. Crap working conditions are understatement of the year.

I remember years back they got in the Argus cos of the employee conditions: people working 8 hour shifts without a break.

There was a lot of seriously dodgy/illegal stuff going on there.

Do tell... :)
