The Crappiest Job I Ever Had Was................
Unloading a freezer ship on the graveyard shift. I was in the lower hold at -10 degrees and I couldn't stand up straight. It was 8 dollars an hour unloading fish. I'd put the boxes of fish on a platform and it would be hoisted up and returned empty. I spent the time thinking about how much I was making an hour and how many pounds of fish I had to move in order to buy a Big Mac for instance. I think the number was 2,500lbs. When the sun came up I went home and never went back.

So what was your crappiest job?

Wading in thigh high sewage with gas monitors on me tethered to my boss who was diving through 7 year old digested humanure. He was sucking it up to a pump truck to be later injected on fallow fields as a test of sorts. It 'should' have worked but the only things that survive 7 years of composting in human dung are...smoke butts and condoms...which all rose to the surface of the fields the year after. Shitty job? Yeah it was. But clearing $1200.00 a week as a 17 year old highschool dropout...not bad!!

"De-Tassling" corn when I was 14. Some very hard work, and I was getting paid 3.75 an hour! Brutal stuff.

I was a receptionist at a moving company for four hours.


The owner hired the workers from the salvation army and told him he would pay them $40 cash at the end of the day.

They all started coming back at noon demanding their money and the owner wasn't there.

They saw the checkbook and told me to write them a check, I told them I couldn't and left for lunch and never went back.

A sign shop in CA. I was a production artist, meaning I did everything from design and plot the vinyl to digging the post holes and creating the physical sign as well.

What sucks was the pay and the insane "liberal" boss.

The fucker drank wheat grass juice every morning, lectured us on how our generation didn't give a shit like his did in the 60's etc....

Turns out the fucker was so in debt that a repo-man came into our office on the boss' lunch hour and repoed' the vinyl printer - worth something like 8 Grand!

Funny to watch the other cooworkers faces as that sucker was wheeled out! It was like a movie.....

Cleaning airplanes between flights, in the winter, in Alaska.

They left the doors open and you had to wear a parka to do it. They allotted 3 baby wipes to do each section of bathrooms, one baby wipe per room.

The garbage bins we were hauling ruined our parkas.

Wipe the bathrooms and haul the garbage, no wonder people get sick on planes.

Re: The Crappiest Job I Ever Had Was................
When I was a teenager, I got a job telemarketing for a cemetery. I worked in the evening at the cemetery with two other friends. We cold called from a directory that was by street location, trying to set up appointments for a salesman to discuss people's burial needs. We never made one appointment. I did have people call me disgusting and hang up on me though.

The only fun we had there was playing on the three line phones, We would call one person, then the neighbor and listen as they both would say, but my phone rang, and then sometimes they would realize they were neighbors...it was funny :)

I quit that job after just a week or so. One of my friends was fired for being caught doodling "this job sucks", over and over while she was making the calls.

That job was crappy.

I went into a Catering Kitchen once that was Disgusting.

They left dirty dishes sit overnight.

The Cooler was over 50 degree's because the fan was obstructed by ice.

I started chipping away the ice and one of the guys told me the boss didnt want anybody to mess with it.


There was a bunch of rotten food sitting in there.

Cream Cheese with blue mold all over it. Nasty old soups that were moldy too.

There were things un covered and there was hotdogs sitting in a pan of cooked pasta.

They sent food out for hours then brought it back and put it in that cooler.

Then later they sent the food out again lol.


The freezer had icecream frozen to the walls and it was over all disgusting frozen bits of stuff stuck to the floor.


When I got there they were trying to train me to open up cans of Campbells soup and put them into a pot and warm it up.


I walked out and called the Health Department on them.

Re: The Crappiest Job I Ever Had Was................
I labored for a Plumber after I graduated college (from a Private Catholic University, double major in Business Mgmt. & Entrepreneurship) as finding a job was brutal. No one wanted me as soon as they saw my transcripts and saw the entrepreneurship courses. Even had some question me about it - stating they thought I would learn from them, bounce, and start my own gig. Which I likely would have if it was profitable.

Worked for the Plumber for a while. Had to snake out a sewer at a man's house that I personally KNEW 100% POSITIVELY had Hepatitis.

Also, knee deep in sewage in a bar basement that backed up. All was fine and dandy - then it came over TOP of my concrete boot and I about had enough.

But hey, I was 21, graduated in 4 years double majoring, and needed to pay off my remaining 40-50% or so of college that scholarships did not cover.

I am currently all paid up, still working construction (but doing Commercial Carpentry), and hope to start my own business within a few years as I am now debt free, saving a lot, and buying tons of tools/equipment.




That sewage sure smelled like shit. But shit smells like money.

Re: The Crappiest Job I Ever Had Was................
The worst was removing the floor in an old fishmongers...

We where refurbishing a Victorian fishmongers and over that time water used to clean the chopping board etc had seeped through the floor and lifted it up, creating a layer of foul smelling fish water, the smell was worse than working in a morgue/sewers, as a ceramic tiler I have worked in both (and more)

The worst has to be a hundred year old rotting fish water, it still makes me reach just thinking about it.

Re: The Crappiest Job I Ever Had Was................
I've had some pretty bad jobs but two of them tie for the worst:

1) I was hired by a laundry that focused on bulk cleaning such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals etc. The job I interviewed for was to drive a truck with clean linens on a delivery route back to their customers.

The job I was actually given when hired on was to take the filthiest linens you can imagine and wash them in huge industrial washing machines. The place reminded me of an eastern European factory that smelled like an odd mixture of old food, bleach, and sadness.

I seriously thought about leaving at lunch but I made myself stay the whole day just to make sure. After the first day I never went back. They called me and couldn't understand how I could just walk away from a job after taking up their time/effort to interview me and train me. I was going to argue with them but I just sighed and hung up the phone.

2) After hurricane Katrina a local plant that manufactures MREs for the military got a huge contract to provide food for the gulf area.

At the time I was between semesters at school and I needed a job so I figured hey it was good to help out in a disaster and make a little coin in the process. Right?

Wrong. Take the worst elements of working in a factory and crossbreed it with the worst parts of the food service industry and that's what this unholy place was.

No body smiled. No one was happy. The break room was a huge ashtray and EVERYONE smoked (I don't). Everyone that worked there was a broken human being.

The first day I had to carry huge tubs of frozen meat patties from a walk in freezer to people that literally did nothing all day except place said meat one by one in an assembly line. The second day I worked on the chili line which was basically huge cauldrons that made epic amounts of really bad chili. All day long me and this other guy had to get huge 30lbs bags of spices and measure it out into 5 gallon buckets and then kart them over to the guy making the chili. At one point in the day we turned on a ball game to listen to. The work mate told me he actually had tickets to that game but he couldn't get off work to go. Then he said he hadn't had a day off in 3 months. That's right, 7 days a week for 3 months. Not even Saturday or Sunday.

After that 2nd day I never came back.

Also, both of those jobs required a drug test.

Did you ever notice that the jobs that suck so bad you have to take drugs just to make them bearable are the same ones that require drug tests to be hired?
