tatsblisters 9,543 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Worked for a hoity toity marketing firm about 16 years ago doing something with the computers they had. The bloke that owned it was a psychopath egomaniac and needed putting down. His wife was as bad, a complete and utter bitch to the girls who worked there. It was like a Victorian Household where the staff were treated like they entered "service". I lasted around 9 weeks and he was surprised when I quit. What is it with these types some sort of power trip the place I work now we have a manager who talks to lads like shit and is a fekin bully of the highest order I just take the piss out of him and he doesent even realise I am taking the piss out of him compairing him to that drill sargent in full metal jacket.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 7,957 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Cleaning the inside of a giant container which had a build up iron filings 'growing' on its sides. The iron filings came from lathes placed above the container. All the iron shavings fell into the container and every year it needed descaling. Temperatures above 100 degrees were normal. It was so dark you could barely see a yard in front of your body. We had to strip to our underpants and hack away at the filings with crow bars. The deposits were about a foot thick and once we had hacked away and bagged the stuff, we had to climb out of the container on a ladder that was maybe a hundred rungs in length. I was the only white guy and i can remember a mate of mine, a Jamaican, saying ' this job isn't fit for a f****n nigger'. The filings used to get into every fold of skin on your body and drive you crazy with an itch that was like no other itch. We got double pay for the fortnight the job lasted, but believe me it wasn't worth it. Edited August 24, 2017 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,253 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Before I had any direction in life etc. I used to push the spout into them 5 ltr oil cans that you buy. Didnt do it for long. BEST job I had was maintenance in a posh fancy health club, nights were great used to have a workout, sauna, steam room, jacquzi, and go on the sunbeds. Along with polish a floor or two and hoover out the sand in the pool. + there was a nightclub on the top floor with a staff only service lift between the healthclub, restaurant and then the club. LOL Crap money, but id happily clean the windows at the back of a dance class for free today. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 My best job would be most people's idea of a nightmare. I was an "anatomy technician" in a pathologist's mortuary - basically assisting him in post mortems......gruesome, but endlessly fascinating ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky 3,325 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I boxed when i was a teenager and after a club match at Corby a fellah asked one of our trainers if he knew a couple of big lads to go on the doors at his pub at Stilton on the A1, two lads were up for it and i was roped in because i had a car , the night went well except for a scuffle which was quickly stopped and three chaps from Peterborough were chucked out , later as the place was closing a dwarf who had been a bit of a pain all night was blind drunk and getting out of hand, [he was on the dance floor looking up the girls mini skirts]. The gaffer said :thats it ,get him out : i went up to him and said sorry mate you have to go , with that he went crazy screaming , swearing , trying to kick me and then for some reason took all his clothes off and shouting Colin is the greatest , everyone in the place was laughing except me, i wanted the ground to open up. Igot him cornered and grabbed hold of him and picked him up and he started squealing and spitting at me and when i got hold of his hands he tried to bite my nose in the mean time the party of girls who were with him started on me and a big fat bird got hold of me and we all went down in the spew , the place was in uproar and i just wanted to go home. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I just asked the good Lady BB what her worst job was..... She immediately said "Working in a factory, putting the little plastic toys in Xmas crackers !"......her eyes glazed over, and she didn't want to talk about it any more than that. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
