worst jobs

[alan partridge]

i'm sure plenty of us have had some pretty shite jobs, care to share them with us?

to be honest this thread is just an excuse to post up this story from the idler's crap job poll (like the crap town thing) and to direct you to the last couple of lines....

IDLER DEPUTY ED IN McDONALDS HELL

I worked at McDonalds, in Liverpool. I didn't get any stars. I failed all the tests, even though they merely involved copying the answers from The Big Book of McDonalds Test Answers into the questionnaire. Also, I had to work twice as hard as everyone else as the other staff were all junkies and couldn't be trusted to operate a deep fat fryer. They were very good at cleaning though. They could polish one square yard of stainless steel for eight hours. Meticulous, if not efficient.

As bad as this was, I have to say it beats working in an office any day. Even standing on the gangplank of a ship for twelve hours was better than bleaching my mind by staring into a monitor all day, negotiating with deranged marketing harpies. When I think about it, I once met the man with the worst job in the world. I was at a party, he was introduced to me as a "pig wanker". That is, he manually stimulated pigs until they filled a beaker with their issue. I said, "Let me shake you by the hand."

A good friend of mine used to be a turkey wanker, at a farm in Small Dole or Henfield as I recall.

I've got bad one.....Back from abroad with 2 months off in the Raf and was bored so I got a job packing donuts for some extra cash at place called "Dinky Donuts!"

JESUS that was Crap! I was eating more than I could pack!!

and I thought selling hotdogs on the 9th hole of the local golf course on Saturday mornings to sleazy old members was bad enough....

 

[Meade's Ball]

Today, i am not enjoying my job at all. A very heavy weekend and now someone seems to have set up loads of sites of enormous women being taken roughly.
And i'm getting dangerously near to the limit on how much Vitmain C i can take without it "backfiring".

That must have been quite entertaining watching some of them wannabies shank their tee shot at the 10th.

any data entry job

 

[Trotster]

When i was younger, i used to sell eggs down teh market - i used to spend every saturday morning shouting....

'Jumbo, Jumbo - pound a dozen'!!!

 

[Soton Seagull]

I had a summer job on Palace Pier once. Job from hell, draconian working conditions, compulsory overtime with no notice and what seemed like illegal working practices all over the place.

 

[Robot Chicken]

I used to sell double glazing, the worst job I ever had. Doing telesales sucks, and the staff were allowed to smoke so the air was thick with cigarette smoke.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Delivering manure to a mushroom farm and unloading it manually.

 

[Beach Hut]

Had a weekend job at Butlitz Saltdean serving meals - worst job ever.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Surely the worst job in the world goes to the people who have to put Cadbury's Fudge in to those bright orange wrappers?

So what do you do then? "Well actually I'm a Fudge packer..."

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I have had some awful jobs. I worked in McDonalds (no stars, green badge only), in an abbatoir putting dead meat in packages, & spending 8 hours a day putting leaflets in magazines

lol!

 

[Sorrel]

I was once a kitchen porter at the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne.

I had to haul the pig bins into the 3 foot high service lift, travel down with them in the pitch black lift as they glooped and bubbled a foul smelling stench, with only cockroaches for company as they crawled over the walls and me.

That must have been quite entertaining watching some of them wannabies shank their tee shot at the 10th.

Especially after they'd just leered at me over the counter, and then taken 2 airswings!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Waiting (don't even bother trying to make a joke out of that) at the Metropole Hotel, some days you wouldn't see daylight for 10 hours and the tips were shit.

I then realised that becoming a wine waiter was the way to go and the job perked up a bit.

 

[Kryten]

Owning trotters inderpendent traders, now that plonker Rodney does, and i have to work for him
