What's the worst job you've had.

[MrRobin]

Barman at a Conservative Club

[Pondlife]

Worked in a Sawmill as a student - definitely the most knackering work.

Then I used to clean the outside of aircraft - Out in the middle of the night with a brush and a bucket of Dasic.


Actually quite enjoyed both jobs TBH.

Summer job in a coffee-shop in my home town. Right on the bus route for American Tourists... it was rammed every bloody day of the summer holidays. I HATED it!!

[BoredBloke]

Rockcliff Computers - worked for a right ****** and also Sema at the home office in Liverpool. They were a bunch of w@nkers also. They were about 15 years ago and since then I'd say most of my contracts were ok

Without a shadow of a doubt the three weeks I spent at Huntress as an IT recruitment consultant were about the most miserable of my life.

Yanks. Ugh.

I did a bit of waitressing in my parents restaurant a few times, but I was pretty bad. Too clumsy and impatient.

I spent a while heat sealing plastic linings in sewage installations; smelly, dirty, hot and generally unpleasant, but quite well paid at the time; almost 3 times minimum wage, which isn´t bad at 22. First job in IT was helpdesk for bookkeeping software; so boring and regimented (5 minutes per day allowed for visits to bog, only with permission) I almost went back to the sewage job, but then got a rather cushy analysts' job at the water board. Still took me about 4 years before I earned as much as I had in the sewer.

Tell me about it - Bloody yanks couldn't understand me & were awful tippers... considering how shirty they get over there if you don't tip properly, they are quite happy to not bother everywhere else!

Yanks. Ugh.

Especially in hotels and restaurants, closely followed by the Dutch and, nowadays, the Russians. All three are strong enough reasons not to work in the hotel and restaurant business.

They've tipped quite a lot of explosives on some countries.
