Worst Job You've Ever Had ?

[keepdiggin 9,559]

Fletchers bakery in sheffield, I broke a machine and the agency who i worked for said I cost the bakery over £40K so they had to let me go.

Not really had a bad place to work tbh .. though I've had bad jobs at the places like replacing a diff in a council road gritter outside in the snow as there was no room in the workshop and the gritter had to be back on the road asap ..

or when I was working in a factory making black plastic, at the start of my shift a machine was being shutdown because the silly twat of the bosses son had dropped his knife into one of the hoppers I spent over an hour scooping carbon black out of the machine (carbon black is worse than coal dust for getting on your skin) looking for his knife ..

RSPCA Inspector. The hours and pay were terrible, much prefer my new role as a Wildlife Officer with the police

Boiler engineering. Cleaning servicing repairing and installing industrial sized boilers. Some the size of a fridge freezer some the size of a double decker. Crawling inside a furness barely big enough to fit that was black with soot and having to re do the firebrick was the worst. No room to move and you have to chisel out and then refit around 300kg of fire cement all for 3.50 an hour. f***ing shite

I did that as an apprentice in 1975 - 0.25p an hour, I kid you not!

 

Cheers, D.

I was a fluffer for lesbian porn stars. Sounds great but some nights I could hardly talk my tongue was that sore....

that reminds me of my worst job as a changing room attendant at a well known ladies underwear shop.

Chicken farm near Preston. The on-site vet was a fuucking bitchy idiot, the work was back breaking, repetitive and tedious.

 

Only good thing was I got to know a lot of surrounding farmers, land owners etc and gained more hunting land than I could care for.

 

Best job.. Just because of the craic.... a factory producing bedding! Jesus it was a laugh in there. The boss who was a bit of a cnut, had a second in command. This little old woman with the widest mean streak you ever saw. She ended up underneath a few stacks of boxes which toppled over by accident of course..... nah it wasn't, my 16-17 stone mate charged the other side at full try speed and took the whole row of boxes and her right out no evidence except for the daft cow rolling around in the floor screaming something about her pancreas, she never did grass on us again ?

At 15 i was the little chef at little chef, not that you needed to be a chef, terrible food.

 

I operated a press following the above, I sat Down with a big empty tub one side and another full of metal rectangles the other, my task was to press them into right angles, the whole contract involved 10's of thousands of these. I lasted a valiant 20 mins

f***ing hell,depressing reading,why didnt we all stick in at school

When my brother decided to stay at school, then go on to university, I took the pi55 mercilessly - "You want to get a job, you idle swot !" etc etc....

 

Now, he lives in a big detached bouse and gets 90 grand a year.......

 

I always told my kids work smarter not harder

 

spot on that, left school, and went in to unskilled work labouring , either lifting /carrying stuff, or digging holes , ok when your young/fit , but soon catches up with you, more so if you hurt your back, then you are fooked deff. i wish i had tried harder at school , and tried to learn a trade etc. at least my son used his brains, got qualifications and not bad job , glad he didn't take after me . !

I once took a second job as pot wash in the Cunning Man pub in Burghfield near Reading - I didn't mind the job but, the head chef was a complete c**t - a proper Gordon ramsey wannabe.

 

I stormed out after slamming him into the floor when he spat at me one day.

...... I still smile when I remember the cruching sound he made
