• Worst Job

Energis Squared, Tech PM, they actively prevented me from solving their problems, useless buggers

• Least Favourite Celebrity

All of them, I despise celebrity "culture" and want to see them all tortured horribly to death with all of the journo's that feed off the pointless bastards

• Most embarrassing outfit

FraknFurter getup for a Rocky Horror show

• Character trait you hate the most

People who chew/eat with their mouth open or noisily, it disgusts me

• Worst place you've ever visited

Auschwitz, never been to such a grim and chilling place, it's terrifying

1 - None really. When I worked in a theme park, I had to work in the fast food place cleaning tables and emptying the bins, but that was just for a day. I've always left any job or contract that I don't enjoy.

2 - Jordan / Jade Goody / Russell Brand / Kevin Keegan (if he counts) / Alan F'ing Shearer. I don't have a favourite celebrity, just a list of "celebrities" that I hate even more than the others.

3 - None.

4 - Dunno.

5 - I hate London. Basingstoke, Bracknell and Slough come pretty close for grimness, but I really cannot stand London at all.

5. Newcastle.

Worst Job
Working in a food distribution warehouse in Welwyn Garden City. The only good bit was driving the little fork-lift buggies around. Everything else was mind-numbingly boring.

Least Favourite Celebrity
No idea - too many to choose from. Anyone with no talent/skill/nothing of consequence to add to the world.

Most embarrassing outfit
I was going to say the 'St Trinians style' 6th form girl's school uniform I wore out clubbing - but it's probably the Borat thong.

Character trait you hate the most
A misplaced notion of superiority.

Worst place you've ever visited
Hilbrow, Johannesburg.

3. Handmade swimming trunks (Made by my Nan) that turned into a soggy hammock after they got wet, I was 11 years old and it scarred me for life .
   
4. Too soft on people with sob stories.
   
5. See 1

• Worst Job

Doing tight-deadline spreadsheet/database development in a sodden soulless industrial estate. A student, out of my depth, and had to wait about an hour at the freezing deserted railway station to get home.

• Least Favourite Celebrity

I don't want to answer this because I bet most of the ones that are annoying on TV are probably nice enough in real life. But if pushed, Nick Hancock who I've never met but has a superannoying TV manner.

• Most embarrassing outfit

I once went to a horror fancy dress party wearing actual meat, which went off and started to drip in the heat. One of the other people there was a policeman who said I smelled very accurately of a corpse.

• Character trait you hate the most

People who you agree to meet on a certain date, but refuse to give you any further details other than "I'll phone you on the day".

• Worst place you've ever visited

A bit of scrubland/desert in North Africa. I'd taken a taxi to a restaurant, which only took 5-10 minutes, so I thought it would be nice to stroll back to the hotel. It wasn't. The taxi must have been going darn fast because it took nearly an hour and it was very very dark and all I could hear were wild dogs.

With thanks to TykeMerc for inadvertently letting me steal your formatting

[Board Game Geek]

Worst Job

Double-glazing salesman for a day (after a week's training).

Out in the field, on my own, I just couldn't bring myself to hardsell an OAP that she needed 17K of replacement windows.

This was due to the fact of her age, her existing windows were absolutely fine, and the fact that at 84, she probably wouldn't be around long enough to get a lot of enjoyment out of them anyway.

Least Favourite Celebrity

Paul O'Grady - His accent gets on my nerves
Eddie Izzard - He meanders too much and goes off on too many tangents
Hugh Grant - For being Hugh Grant irrespective of the film

Most embarrassing outfit

None (Though Mrs BGG may beg to differ)

Character trait you hate the most

Three equal contenders.

People who ring you up at the last minute and cancel an event.
People who seem unable to just "give you the facts", and instead waffle on with trivial superfluous information.
People who are afraid of stepping outside their own comfort zones.

Worst place you've ever visited

Any stereotypical chav "nightclub" on a Friday / Saturday night.
Harrogate for being more depressing than Slough (which I deliberately pronouce as SLOO-GEE, because it has a wonderful onomatopoeia that seems appropriate with the place in general)

I realise that it is not Friday any more but here goes anyway:

1. Shelf Stacking at a large Supermarket that begins with the letter T. I did two stints at that before I finished University.

2. None. But I don't have a favourite either. I am ambivalent towards celebrities.

3. None. I have too much self respect.

4. People that need to vocalise every thought that goes through their head. SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE.

5. Germany.

[eliquant]

Worst Job:
Filing fabric type samples used on paper making machines in a Northern factory.

Least Favourite Celebrity:
Anthea Turner ( a prime example of British tottie gone wrong wrong wrong ....)

Most embarrassing outfit:
Klu Klux Klan (like) ghost styled costume out on parade in the streets.

Character trait you hate the most:
Two faced people and especially when you find them out and they know and they're still carrying on the pretence of being nice to you (grrrrrrr happned in my last job, I think he had split personality disorder).

Worst place you've ever visited:
Hounslow (the end of the World) or maybe a frightening Slough business park back in the 1990s don't know which of the two was really the worst.
