I've worked at a toy store, music store, movie theaters, in a factory, in construction &, as a cook. But The worst job I ever had was delivering phone books when I was younger. I moved transferred from University of Miami to Florida state university and one of the jobs I got when I moved back home was bagging and delivering phone books. I swear those people have to expect people to use their kids and not get paid for it to get those routes done in time. What a pain in the ass LOL ...
What about you? what is the worst job / jobs you've had?
 
Haven’t really had any terrible gigs, I worked at McDonald’s in highschool & it wasn’t that bad.

When I was at Creighton as an undergrad I worked the information/concierge desk at night in Recreation Center/Commons from 6 to 11pm.

Was a fun gig to get paid to do not much at but sit there & check out eye Candy & flirt every once in awhile.
Was a nice work-study gig.
Meh good times.

Was over 20 years ago, but doesn’t feel like it.

I grew up wealthy. Like... very wealthy. And my parents made me get a job as a dishwasher at a nursing home at age 16.

That was not fun. At all. But now that I have a child, I understand what they were trying to do. Though, I do not want my child to ever work... and he'll never have to. But that's a much different circumstance. He has DS and I worry about people being cruel to him. I just want to protect him from everything.

But yeah, washing dishes definitely checks all the boxes for worst job ever.
 
Call Center and very shitty Bar kitchen, also mail-men.
Construction, being a nurse was a joke compared for me.

Do you have a wealthy very wealthy sister looking for companionship?
 
I worked at a lumber mill in the summer when I was 11.

Also worked the blackjack table on an online casino livestream during nights and struggled hard not to pass out. Had to go to trade school during the day after.

I got like 4 hours of sleep every day with a moody woman and a toddler waiting for me at home.

Make your child work. It builds character. There’s too many rich kids out there with zero work ethic, riding daddy’s coat tails. I worked at a grocery store when I was 14 and my parents wouldn’t pay for anything if I didn’t work and maintain good grades.

I grew up wealthy too and I can tell you right now, the best thing my daddy ever gave me was his work ethic. I understand even stuff such as good advice and support are privileges not everybody has but I understood how hard my parents both worked for the lives and comfort we all had and that’s what drives me as a grown man to continue working hard and refusing to accept anything but the best.

Agreed completely. But like I said... My child has Down Syndrome. And people are cruel. Would you risk your little one getting devastating comments that he might get? I would do anything to protect my beautiful son. What I want is for him to be involved in the Special Olympics and even a charity of his choice, while not having to deal with anyone's ignorant bullshit.
 
Helped tear down a building for like 2 months as a student. Show up at 6am, carry around stones and rubbish all day, get home at 8pm.

It wasn't that bad, but still the worst job I've had so far. Everything else has been pretty chill.
 
One of the best and worst was a job at a temping agency.

People who needed a random lightly or not at all skilled person called them and they sent people like.
Some jobs were good. The worst was photocopying every 5th or so page of a monumental stack of phone bills. Literally that was all I did for 40 hours in one week. They wanted me back the next week but I said I couldn't.
The good ones was assembling metal book cases for Cochlear. They ended up asking me to help them test ear plugs in the quietest room in the southern hemisphere, that was pretty cool.

I honestly thought you meant he has a Nintendo DS.
 
My first job, I originally volunteered at a rehab hospital bringing meals on big trolleys from hospital kitchen and deliver to patients. I guess they liked how I was doing, so they asked if I want to work in the kitchen.

I just turned 16 so minimum wage was ok for me, I was excited about the prospect of not having to rely on pocket money from parents so I took the job. It was alright at first, I had to rush there after school to make the 3 hour shift for dinner service. It was physically demanding but I was making money for the first time so I didn't mind. A few months later as I got more experience, they wanted me to work on longer shifts on weekends. Stayed with it for about a year before I found something easier with better pay. And then I realized how much work I was doing before for a low wage.
