since it is the offseason and things are slow i wanted to see what were some of the worst jobs you guys have done. i've had a few, but currently i'm working on a farm which for the most part is pretty interesting and quite the learning experience but the worst part is dealing with the cows, especially now since it's time for most of them to give birth. Imagine trying to pull a calf out of the mom...need i say more, and on top of that mulling around in cow **** all day.

So what are some of the worst jobs you guys have had?

Friend of mine's father owned a garbage pick up service. When I was in college, use to earn money helping them out after Christmas going around cleaning up around overflowing dumpsters so the trucks could get in to empty the dumpster. There was some nasty there but the worse was the rats that would get in there. They were huge, like Saint Bernards LOL

I worked part time for a Construction waste disposal company for a couple years after high school. There were some good parts of the job and some very bad parts. The worst part of the job was the company wanted to start a household trash collection run. It fell on me to go around in a terribly old Ford trash truck and pick up peoples household trash. One of the places I had to go was a trailer park. I could not believe the nasty, wretched, stench that emanated from some of those people's detritus. Some of the folk would over load their trash bags and when picked up would tear open and drop an agglomeration of cat feces and putrid food. It was terrible, and worse yet I had to pick it up once the bag failed. On some days, the olfactory sensation was so brutal that I would regurgitate my breakfast all over my work boots. It made the situation worse especially on a warm New Mexican summer afternoon, having to climb back into that crappy truck and finish my route smelling like trash and vomit.

Worked in a hospital cleaning up rooms after surgery. I am a borderline hypochondriac, so it didn't end well.

This is also the worst job I have ever done as well.... throwing 40lb bails onto the back of a wagon in 100 degree heat only to throw them off a wagon and stack them in a 110 degree barn with no breeze. Talk about swamp a**.

I worked at a Plastics Vacuum molding place. Worked 7feet from an oven that was about 800degrees. Got all types of burns here and there all over my forearms. it was a sweat shop.

A guy there named Beto(nickname) told me that since he liked me so much he was going to take me to Tijuana and "...take to me to all the best whorehouses in TJ."

Needless to say, I never made it to those whorehouses....

Garage Door factory one summer, started out pretty easy, insullating doors. After about a week, they noticed that I stood out amongst that crew (I was about 220 and in good shape, and the rest were college girls/old peeps) so they moved me to the dock. Loaded trucks w/ garage door parts the rest of the summer, worst part was "tiering" would get wedged up against the ceiling lining doors up. Fiberglass roof, 100 degrees out, so about a million in there, thought I had heat stroke more than once. Also had an idiot throw a corner of a door into my forearm. The shift was from 3-11 so too tired and late to do much when I got off, and when I woke up, all I did was workout and then count the seconds until I had to be there again. So, I made good money, but my girl and I hated our job so much all we did was spend it like crazy when we had the time on booze, and whatever else we thought would fill the hole in our souls.

I used to love bailing hay.
I have two worst jobs that I can remember. One was replacing light fixtures in a freezer. It was anywhere from -20 to -30 degrees F. It was so cold I had to be careful and not let the lift sit still too long or it would freeze. I had to change the light fixture while they were on (277v). I had to change about 80 total.

The second was I had to repair intake air fans. The fans were over tire curing machines. It was over 100 outside. We couldnt find a thermometer that would go high enough but we know it was at least 130 degrees if not more.

I actually love manual labor jobs. I have dug post holes around a large property for an entire summer. I had a great time. Lots of time alone with my thoughts and I was in the best shape of my life.

However, the worst job I EVER had - working as a telemarketer for a time share resort when I was 19. I wasn't even actually selling the time share, I was scheduling appointments for people to come down and view the resort and meet with the salespeople. I had to promise people they would win "one of three amazing prizes! Maybe even a trip to Europe." No one won the trip to Europe.

I hated every second I was there. I was disturbing people at dinner or at other inconvenient times. It was a huge room and there were about 40 others just like me. Our supervisors would be hollering at us to book the appointments and yelling at us as we were talking on the phone to these poor people. It was awful.

It is the only time I have left a job badly and in an unprofessional manner. My supervisor, who was about 30 at the time, came over and was yelling at me to make more calls per hour as I am on the phone with another prospective "victim". I apologized for disturbing the man I was talking to, politely hung up with him, and then flipped off my supervisor and told him to go F-himself. 5 years later, that same supervisor delivered a pizza to my house! Sweet, sweet Karma!!!

I paid for school by moving furniture for Atlas Van LInes, and since I am 6-4, 250, I was always latched on to something heavy. And the heat on the back of those trailers, we use to have to bring three tshirts, just to not be sweating all over folks things.

Also not that the Army was bad, but there are places I wouldnt exile my enemies to, like Ft. Chafee, Ark, dry county, enough said. And Ft. Polk, La, uh snakes, spiders and rain, oh my.

My two worst jobs both were in the oilfield. The worst was being a mudlogger. 24 hour shifts of watching a gas chromatograph and catching mud samples from the drilling rig will really get monotonous. So I aspired to be a roughneck. Well, I had the opportunity to do so, and within 6 weeks I was done. My derrick man was an alchoholic and didn't clasp properly, a large piece of pipe called a collar into the box, and as I, the worm (AKA tong hand), was walking it to attach it to our next joint, it fell inches from my right foot. I tackled him in the dog house and choked him until our driller got me off of him after shift. I smashed fingers, slid off the V door thinking there was going to be a blow out (my driller forgot to turn off the mud pump while breaking connection) - all kinds of unhealthy and unsafe ****.

I've laid carpet, worked Pizza Deliv., Bar Tender, Security, school teacher, number of different things...

two jobs stood out as the worst

A.) Working Customer Service at a low income grocery store... sorry if some people don't like hearing it but sometimes the truth hurts and the truth is there is a general reason as to why people are low income and high class is not it... I have stories glore... this environment is also where I began to abandon my liberal tendacies.

B.) Fiberglass Tub technician... worked at a plant that produced just about all of So Cals fiberglass tubs and sinks... I was one of maybe three people who spoke english at the entire plant including my supervisors, who did not... I was bascially forced out after a while because of the lagnuage gap. This is without even getting into the work place itself... I mean you are working with fiberglass.... not fun.

hard to pick between those two... HATED both.

Now that I think about it, I had one worse than the garage door factory....Cardboard factory...It was worse b/c like Go Irish said at least at the garage door factory I got a workout and could think a lot, and I made more money. At the Cardboard factory it was literally putting together those big displays you see at the grocery store or dvd cases, and if we went too fast we got yelled at for raising the quota....talk about boring, luckily I had two teammates from my college team there too to make up songs w/ and talk about beer, girls and football, but my god it was terrible.

I was a dishwasher at a mexican restaurant and I was never fast enough for the old mexican lady who ran the kitchen. Faster! Faster she would yell.

However, I did get free food and I got to sneak a beer after we closed up.

I almost forgot my close second worst job ever - security guard at a library. Putting up with punk teenagers all day and not being allowed to sit down at all. Constant "patrolling" wearing gawd-awful polyester pants and shirt with my phony, wanna-be badge, yelling at the kids - "No making out in the stacks!" "Don't write in the books!" "No running!"

Lord I felt worthless and low. Only had to do it for about three weeks before I was transferred. However, I did confiscate some good weed on three or four occasions. Thank goodness the punk kids had no idea I had absolutely no authority to search their backpacks or take their weed! Dumb punks!

When I was a 18 I worked for Waste Management picking up trash. Not only is it nasty but back breaking.

When I was 14 I worked on a farm cleaning out horse stalls. Not just any horses, stud horses. Not cool when the lady horses came around and you were in the stud stall.

Now I play semi pro football so I'm good.
