For me, it's a toss-up between working for Moviefacts (Those little free pamphlets you see in the theater lobby; I was selling ad space. No, scratch that-attempting to sell ad space), my last job doing market research (The pay sucked, supervisors were constantly riding our @$$es & nobody wanted to talk to us-largely b/c they thought we were trying to sell them something), and working this BS gig where we walked up & down the street trying to sell all sorts of useless crap. I spent every minute thinking "This cannot be legal."
 
Hod-carrying. Trust me folks, you don't know a hard days work untill you work with a bricklayer who specializes in chimneys and other high places.

Those jobs you mentioned do sound awful in a different way though. :( I hope you have a better one now?
 
Working the register at WalGreens. Seconds felt like hours and the people I saw coming in just made me hate people.
 
Assistant Crack ****e
 
mine was working at a hospital cafeteria. On my first day at the job, they put me on the grill (I didn't know how to cook anything) and a doctor had to talk me through making a quesadilla. The pay sucked and the customers, mainly doctors, were rude. I quit after 3-4 weeks.
 
First job I had was at the movie theater. Started out with the concession stand, then did floor stuff.

Both were equally bad. By far the worst job I ever had.

Belt salesman. Surprisingly good pay. Good hours.

Terrible RUDE customers.

Love/Hate relationship with that job.

Been there done that. I wouldn't say it was the worst, but it was probably the most boring. Even with the movies. It was boring because it was so frickin' easy. Absolutely no challenge at all. It got to the point where I just didn't care about the check anymore and would just go in to watch the movies. The check was just an added perk.


Favorite job-Selling cars.
 
Working at GCS A garbage place. Where I stood outside in the cold picking up trash off the ground from what blew off the mountains of trash.
 
I've said it before, door-to-door salesman.

I did the job for two days then I quit.

I try to be very pleasant to the concession workers, because from everything I've heard that job SUCKS. Actually, it's a good job for teenagers...if they start out with a ****** job, they'll appreciate their education and future jobs that are far better.

...or they'll just burn out. :csad:

Let's see....the worst job I've ever had would have to be an under-the-table job I took a couple of weekends during high school: assisting hunting dog trials.

These dogs are trained to fetch fowl after they've been shot down by the owner/master. These dogs are fast and smart, and actually fun to watch. The ****** part was having to handle a huge sack of dead ducks (some freshly shot).

Well, that wasn't the ONLY ****** part. When I had to plant the blind (that is, as the dog was on its way back from the OBVIOUS duck locations, I would HIDE a duck in grass and SPRINT back to my hunting blind) I'd get exhausted after number 10. Too bad I had to do it 90 times in big, clunky boots.

The WORST part of that job was "working the line." Those freshly shot ducks? Yeah. They didn't always die. So after the dog brings them back half dead, they'd get unceremoniously thrown at my feet, writhing in agony and feebly trying to quack. My job? Snap their necks. The problem? I was inexperienced.

So there I am, trying desperately to kill the ****ing thing WITH MY BARE HANDS as it's practically BEGGING to die, loaded with freaking buckshot, and I keep messing up. :csad:

The pay was awesome, though.

Worst job? Circumsizing elephants at the zoo.

Lousy pay, but the tips were enormous.
 
How does one become an "Assistant" Crack ****e? :huh: Do you have to work you way up?

The worst job I've ever had is probably working at McDonalds for 3 days.

On day 3 I was asked to start cooking food after cleaning the bathrooms, except it was an hour before closing and a whole troupe of football players came in so we were in a hurry. I was told, "Nevermind washing your hands we need you here on the grill!"

I handed in my hat and shirt and told them I wouldn't have any part in that kind of disgusting work ethic.

This is the only job I have that I don't get paid for, and it feels like rape in the end.
 
Working on a farm is generaly no fun at all.
