What's the cruddiest job you've had?

[wizzzard]

When I left school I wanted to get earning as soon as I could and I pretty much took whatever I could find for a few years. This lack of foreward planning meant I wound up in some absolutely awful jobs.

My worst one had to be running intestines through a series of rollers to squeeze out the waste that was still in them and then they could be sent for sausage skins. I only lasted there about three months but I do remember it taking another two months to get rid of the putrid smell* that had worked its way into my skin.

Whats the worst job you've ever had ?

The job I have now, due to beingade redundant earlier in the year. Not really bad, just mind numbingly dull and tedious. Having co-workers who spoke English might atleast give some enjoyable banter...but instead we have silence...or polish.

For 10 hours a day, I transfer plastic boxes from a trolley, and place them on a conveyer. That is all.

As a 16 year old we lasted 3 hours at xmas turkey plucking before blanking it and receiving f all for the trouble.

Then for a few weeks we had to clean house size massey ferguson machines caked in grime and grease, the massey factory was opposite our recently left school !

And later in life i had to spend the odd night in a field near houses with knightsites looking for adolescent sheep killers....lol

Got to be working as a childcare assistant for a holiday company. Was working for a company called Mark Warner and that was the only job they had going. It was offered to me (skin head at the time) and my mate (6'8" Skin head paratrooper).

As it was a seasonnaire lifestyle we drank a shit load of alcohol and the hangovers were bloody horrible with all the kids screaming.... that's a condom advert right there!!!! Gives me shudders just thinking about those whiney rich runts.

I started off after uni part time working for a steel company cleaning loo's, stairs, sweeping yards etc constantly. Basically cleaning up everyones shit... Well when I say constantly, most of it was actually spend in the seperate loo block either reading the Sun or dozing on the seats!
After several months I was called into the managers office expecting to be sacked for this, instead they asked if I had a clean car licence and made me full time van driver for the company - I loved it!

Other than that I worked on farms, worst time was over winter pulling frozen leaks out of the ground 7 hours a day - cutting fields full of lettuces over the summer wasn't much fun either, back breaking at the least. Made my day though when our school bully came to work at the same farm and only lasted a week before finding the work too tough. I then got upgraded to tractor driving and things got a WHOLE lot better from there.

I worked in a shop called "Ethel Austin".

It paid £3.82 an hour and was an old ladies version of primark. It was terrible, but at the same time it was amazing.

There was this ned that was sent to work in our shop by some back to work skills programme. He was sent to our shop for punishment for doing something bad, but he ended up enjoying it. Because he stayed in my area I'd go over to his house before work and we'd just hit buckets of pollen constantly until it was time to head to work. We'd listen to wu tang clan and the likes at his.

It was the best "worst" job I've ever had.

Factory work, cleaning the wax off kitchen doors and trimming the edges of excess plastic for 10 hours a day, that was as soon as i left high school.

Mcdonalds after i left a joinery apprenticeship.

KFC while at college.

Some one went to the trouble of cutting the top of a Carling can and taking a shit in it then placing it in the toilet, manager came and got me and told me to take it out and dispose of it.

I walked out never to return.

It just got me that some one actually went to all that effort

It was care assistant, I enjoyed some of it but most if quite disgusting. Nothing else I would consider being crude.

Not as bad as some in here, but still I hated it.

I worked in a paints/gelcoats company, I was doing R&D but I still had to fuck with fibreglass and catalyst (MEPK). No matter how careful you was you'd always leave and then be itching all the way home on the bus. Showers only made it worse.

Plus if you got any gelcoat on you and didn't realise, it was easy to ruin your normal clothes, because gelcoats, unlike paint, do not air dry and require a catalyst, so it stays wet, and the tinest spot would smear to form a big horrible mess.

Add to the fact that I had my head stuck in a barrel of some kind of nasty solvent half the time, christ knows how much different shit I inhaled/absorbed through my skin.

The worst though was when they were busy they asked me to go onto the production floor.

Basically there was a tap, and below it a tin on some scales. the process was fill the tin to the weight, put a lid on, crimp the lid closed, load onto pallete, stack pallete 5 rows high, call the forklift guy to take it away, and he would return with a fresh pallete. Repeat.

If you even uttered a single word to the guy next to you the floor supervisor was so far up your arse you could taste bryl cream.

I wanted to take my life by lunchtime, and I had to do it for 5 days straight. I felt bad for the other guys though, some had been doing the exact same thing for 10+ years.

Probably working for a company that supplied financial software to RBS. Ridiculous deadlines, muppet management, power crazy customer, jobsworth colleagues, deaf/retarded waste of oxygen as a project manager.

Closest I've ever been to going postal.

Door to door selling for a company that rhymes with Been Sleazy, I lasted a whole week of being told to stop putting those f***ing catalogues through my f***ing door. The only person who bought any was my Mum

I had a job for two separate summers cutting lettuce, although it was mind numbingly repetitive, the lads I worked with were a good laugh and we actually enjoyed it. Got a good sun tan too.

Cheers

London Undergound, Railman; "Mind the Doors." Piss, puke and on occasion shit. On one mem occasion actually watching a young (V dunk)lady shit on the platform before making HER clean it up.

Very grimmy in the tunnels, Brake dust everywhere, black collar, balck snot, horrible cough. Still it had its perks. If you a druggie/alki. And some funny/grusome stories. Long time ago now.

Half-price Jewellers. Selling sub-Lizzie Duke gold tat to chavs. The system sucked, everything had to be paid for before it could be looked at so most of the day was spent giving refunds and putting things back into stock. And it was always freezing.

[Skudd]

My paper round, it covered two parts of the town, Got £2.80 a week, when I left, the news agent split it in two and gave each person £5. Bastard.

Worked in an Off Licence come grocery shop. I was 16 yrs old but served BWS. had to make 5lb bags of spuds up, but take a spud out so it was just under. he sold beers to under age but blamed me when the authorities came round, last laugh was on him as I was too young to serve at the time.

My first job after leaving uni was a 4 week agency placement to clean and restock vending machines at various sites in Birmingham and the Black Country. It involved getting up at about 4.30am and working until about 2pm. I drove my little van around full of sweets and crisps stocking up the machines. The worst bit was cleaning out the coffee/tea machines, the waste drink collected and spilled into the bottom of the machine and fermented to create something akin to rancid Irish Cream. The fresh brew tea machines were full of wet sloppy tea leaf that really honked and ultimately everyone would hassle you about which machine stole their money and they want it back off you.

I did the bare minimum for 2 weeks, the remaining 2 I couldn't be arsed and skipped out the easier machines as it was too time consuming, felt like a pratt pushing a trolley around too.
