What is the Worst job you ever had?
The worst job I ever had was back when I was a young man just starting out.
I worked concrete construction.
It was hard physical work but I kind of liked that part of it.
The problem was that my coworkers all reminded me of a bunch of drunken
monkeys trying to build a sand castle too close to the ocean waves.
How about you guys?
What is the worst job you ever did?

Sticking down carpet in a swimming pool with solvent based glue and no mask ... high as a kite, but the come-down hurt!

Working on boat engines in the summer in Fort Lauderdale. Hot, sweaty and takes a terrible toll on your fingers.

Making Egg Nog at a dairy plant.
...and I used to love the stuff too... Not any more. The smell now makes me gag.
Yup, another Christmas tradition down the drain.

I waitressed to kill all the time I had left over after getting dumped! Well on the second day, my ex thought it would be really supportive if he turned up with his latest interest at the restaurant I worked at!
Needless to say, I never worked there again. Never even collected my wages!!
On the plus side, my ex is now my husband!!
Hmmm what went wrong?

Worst Job ever...
I would have to say that the worst job that I ever had must have been the 5 year stint in the military. The reason being, everyone that had a mind of their own was punished and the rest followed the shepard like a flock of sheep. Pee now, go to sleep now, 5 mins for a shower, etc.
On the plus side, I have learned many of games that I like to play when someone upsets me and thinks that i will just sit by and do nothing.

Being a health care provider.. right after I finished my course (BS. nursing) I used to be a care giver to a 92 y/o bed ridden man.. after 2 days, I quit my job coz I really can't handle his situation.. I mean his nearly dying with multiple complications.. Since I'm a lil bit knowledgeable with computer applications, I made a promise to myself to find a web-related job.. And now, here I am..

But H&M is not really a rich person's store, is it? I mean, around here it isn't perceived that way.
Anyways.. my worst job was working for my parents biz. They own a carpet/furniture cleaning company. I worked for them til I was 18 and went off to college. Ugh. It's a lot of manual labor, and you work with a lot of chemicals, some of which didn't quite get along with me.

Well it is nice to see that some people were still subject to work ethics at a young age. We should all implement our children working for us until they are out on their own. Teach them the value of a dollar. And hey if they get high along the way so be it. lol. (that was just a joke about the chemicals, not a ref to drug addicitions)
