What was your worst job ever?
 

Like the topic says, what was your worst job ever?

Detassling Corn for the summer.

Two tied for 1st. Both at the same place. During the summer prior to going to college I worked for Huntington State Beach here in California primarily cleaning up beachgoers messes:

1. Midnight shift picking up trash cans filled with rats - usually they'd crawl up your arm scared sh*tless that you bothered them while feeding.

2. Cleaning out the women's restroom! Up one side of the beach - turn around to the same ones and find that women are the worst about their bathroom use. Use your imagination. Very smelling and sickly looking. Yuuuuch!


:wtf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

My friend cleaned out Gizz booth's at the Pussy Cat theater.

Picking corn and diggin out potatoes for 12 hours a day at my grandma's farm-type place in scorching heat :mad:

I was going to say having to put on a huge costume of a teddy bear and stand in rain for 8 hours straight. It gets so hot in there, you wanna pass out

I used to clean out burnt buildings. The worst were grocery stores. After 2-3 weeks (for insurance and police to look it over) you would go in and pull everything out by hand. Imagine the meat and fish counters rotting in the summer heat for a few weeks and having to clean it out with nothing but cotton gloves. Rather nasty.

My first job was the worst....BURGER KING...never work there if you didnt already know.

I used to work for a property management company doing maintenance work, and we'd be the one's cleaning up apartments and stuff after evictions.

These assholes would leave refrigerators full of food, food on the floor, shit in the toilets, piss on the floors - whatever they could to make life hard. And after a few weeks, that cleanup was NASTY AS HELL.

One time, the guy I worked with had to bust down the front door of one apartment - seems the evicted tenants had nailed it shut somehow. But they also spread peanut butter all over the header above the door inside the place. And yes - when he busted into the apartment, a few thousand cockroaches fell all over him - I've never seen a 60 year old man strip down to underwear so fast in all my life. Oviously, these assholes were "professional evictees" and knew how to get the last laugh. All my company did was ask them to pay the fucking rent - I guess we deserved it then, huh? Frigging welfare collecting, non-working wastes of life.

Carpet Cleaner
 

Cleaning carpets was the worst job I ever had. I ran into some nasty rooms with awful cat piss smells. I also had to clean vacant apartments. I can't believe how some people live.

Re: Carpet Cleaner
 

I know!!!

I help my dad sometimes because he's a building manager and when people leave, you go in there and it smells sooo bad and then we have to clean the carpets and everything to make it ready for the people moving in.

Speaking of people not paying their rent, hihosilva, my dad had a guy jump out of the balcony and run away literarly.... good thing he was on the first floor hehe

worked at various old age homes as house cleaner...basicly i was a janitor...man some of the shit i litteraly had to clean up!!!!

the worst one was this particular one that you could see a funeral home through some of the attendents windows

Re: Carpet Cleaner
 

Hehe - I did that shit for a few weeks also. Definitely a close second for the worst job I've had.

We used the crappy portable units, too - half the time they didn't even work. I wound up chucking the machine into my boss's office, swiping my last paycheck, and telling him to take the leaky POS machine and the job and shove it up his ass.

worked for the water district for a summer....that translates into I worked in a SEWAGE TREATMANT plant....stinko!!

Three Words- BEST BUY BLOWS

I've worked the same job for 6 years, its the only job Ive ever had. I make pizza, its actually a good job so I don't have anything to complain about.

I used to move furniture for a rental store - alot of hours but I hated that job!!

Im not complaining no more though - I got back to my old job at UPS :-) !!


Earl

Hehehe I worked there too. It wasn't so bad, I was the install lead and hung around all day watching TV in the bay.

worst job
 

Bottle depot..

I hated beer before I worked there.. imagine how much I liked it after having sorted beer cans in a tiny room (and think of what drunk people do to their beer cans..bleah!) for 10 hours a day for minimum wage..

The good part about it was.. in order to make it livable.. we drank and did the herbal thing while we worked.. hmm that's how I cope with my current job too.. :)

Re: worst job
 

Can I apply???

Re: Re: worst job
 

You can apply at the bottle depot if you want.. but my current job is taken :) It's not all fun and games you know..there ARE rules.. like no drinking at your desk or rolling when theres clients around.. hehe ;)

Re: Re: Re: worst job
 

And how is this the worst job ever???

Worked for a Company that washed and sterilized reusable hospital gowns and towels...i used to do the washing...it was called Sort and Wash....these doctors would throw all the gowns and stuff in big biohazard bags...one time we found a whole amniotic sac(afterbirth)...arrrrrgh!!!!...found an amputated finger...it was all black and shriveled....lots of blood and fat ....I have a strong stomach

Re: Re: Re: Re: worst job
 

No no.. the bottle depot was my worst job ever.. the current one is alright ;)

thanks for the clarification.

macdaddyslomo's the worst yet. And I've worked with many a dead bodies and vile bodily fluids..... but necrotic tissue or aferbirth sac's...ugggggggggggghhhhh!

My worse job was probally.... Workig at Wendys. I hated it, I came home everyday crying.

Right now I work as a nursing assistant... Its cool, But after I finish my classes for EMT I am gone.

Cristy,
EMT to be the first on potentially grisly scenes? I don't envy the NA job. Isn't that difficult? my wife's an RN and see's how hard you all work.

Haven't we all worked at a fast food joint? Mine was Wienerschnitzel.

oh yeah,I forgot...on mine you had to have hepatitus shots to even work there...pretty scary if you ask me....and it was called Soil-sort not sort and wash...i just remembered we found an eyeball too...one of the guys decided he would squish it....omg that was gross

i used to work for M&M Mars making snickers, skittles, starburst,candy bars and stuff. Anyway, the plant i worked at made over 75% of the snickers for the entire world. Now imagine the size of the vat used to keep chocolate hot as it pours.( nearly 2 stories tall) every 2 monthes me and 3 other people had to clean it. burnt chocolate nearly a foot thick on every square inch of surface. and the smell... ugh its been over a year and i cant even begin to forget.

macdaddyslomo has us all beat

Amen to that!


:bat:

It was actually in college...janitor crew after a country concert...there was so much tabacco juice around the colliseum that I quite that very same night.

recycling corn to resell in can form :the finge






















































just joking around :D

walking through pea fields with a net swinging back and forth 50 times and then counting the amount of apheids collected

Where I am at now.

OMG! You guys are making me laugh my ass off. I'm sitting in my office laughing at your misery. People keep looking and wondering what I'm doing :)

I have to agree any job invloving body parts has to suck big time. I'm with Foxy Mazda and have a weak stomach for that stuff.

I've never had an insanly shitty job but one time did suck big time.

I was a camp counsellor and the Grabage collection people went on strike. The garbage piled up for 2 weeks till the camp director told us to go take it to the dump.

2 weeks worth of garbage sitting in the hot sun, chicken, beef, you name it. It was stored in and around the garbage bin. A big steel contraption with 2 front doors. We removed the stuff around the bin.. pretty bad but manageable. Then we opened the doors.


The doors were coated in maggots the size of your finger. The smell was unbelievavle and about 4 of us puked :barf: right away. needless to say the job got no better.

Anyway thanks again for the laugh and hopefully we all have better jobs now. i know I do :)

Back in 96 I worked at a autorebuilders shop in Cali, needles to say the cars that he was buying to rebuild were wrecks that in almost everycase someone died in. either we salvaged from one or another with brain matter everywhere splattered with talcom powder from the air bas large puddles of dried blood. Hair and skin left in windshields, and occasionly a chunk of skin or even a finger or two that was lost at the scene and not found in the car.
Grizzly grusome shiat. Not to mention most of the time they were SUV's with a cooler full of groceries for a camping trip and the car already was sitting for two or three or more weeks. with the awful smell of dried blood and even urine smells. Break out the pressure washer and clean most of the upusltery out side the car.

My buddy works for a company that cleans up houses, cars, offices after people commit suicide.

Mine was Cleaning a Amusement Park ..God that sucked. This is a good post ..Jon
