worst job????

[retired_member32]

come on then ladies and gentleman what is your worst or most embarrassing job?

I'll start with when i left school i went to work for a local builder doing a block release to the local college and then other times working on site,now when i started i joined a yts scheme earning £29 per week and my b*****d boss stopped me money if i had a day off(even though this was paid by the government),the first day i started i was labouring all day solid carrying 10 bricks at a time(over time it made two of my ribs sink and ruined my posture)i weighed approximately 8 stone at the time and it was killing me,anyway for about three weeks solid my boss told me to clean the houses with brick acid because the contract bricklayers were dirty b*****s this was brushing the walls with a little brush and then hosing it down with a hose pipe,and believe it or not this is the honest truth i could not remember my own name after that,people laugh at me but when i finished work at night i stood at the bus stop for a bus and couldn't remember were i wanted to go,it was that brain dead of a job ,and it cost me about £20 in bus fares each week,i still have real bad concentration episodes now,the problem is if i ever saw this boss again weighing in at more than double he'll wish he looked after his staff,when i was nineteen ford picked me up and i started in the motor trade and been there ever since.

My worst job was in a industrial spray factory was pretty much like your job Atleast my class mates could read and write (just about), these guys would buy a copy of the Sun every morning and look at the pictures.

I worked the late shift in a petrol station when I was in collage... aside from about six 'drive off's' a week it was a pretty good job until one night I was on my own and had a gun shoved in my face and a guy demanding I empty the till... :roll:

Grouse beater for a summer. Got paid about £15 a day up at 5am, back at 6pm. Running after dogs with a flag. Getting shouted at, like it's a highly skilled job? Tossers.

I still beat now, for £20 a day. Lunch, couple of pints and a brace thrown in. Good day in the countryside, bit of exercise and your turn to be a gun next time.

Nice day out.

Doing contract work for the oil companies in some of the most dangerous and unsavory parts of Nigeria, resulting in among other rather nasty things getting kidnapped at machinegun point!

The bush meat was good though, but unfortunately I didn't find out what it was till I got home. :shock:

Haven't got a particular worse job but it does remind me of when I applied for my first job.

It was whilst I was still at school (probably sixth form).
I didn't get the job but it was the reason in the rejection letter that sticks in my mind.
"....sorry but you are too old for our intake of ....."

Can't remember what the job was, and guess you couldn't say that these days, but not a very encouraging start!

Pulling broken bottles off a conveyor belt coming out of a used-beer-bottle washing machine in a Heineken factory, using a pointed metal hook. The temperature and smell (stale beer to the nth degree) were indescribable, and as for the noise - suffice to say that many of the regular workers were going deaf despite wearing thick earplugs.

CLIVE:
Yeah.
DEREK:
(belches) Pardon. All the phlegm what Winston Churchill had gobbed out into his bucket by the bed.
CLIVE:
Oh, God, yes, I was offered that job .....
DEREK:
And .....
CLIVE:
..... but I said, "No," I said, "I'm not going to collect all that phlegm 'cause he has so many cigars, so much brandy, I am NOT, as a human being, going to go round with buckets collecting that fucking phlegm."
