That's tough. I can only think of one, and I'll even admit that my contempt might very well be misplaced:

Lobbyists

1. Politicians. Politician profession is sort of like a whore, except that instead of getting fucked, you are the one fucking everyone that pays you.

0. Car salesmen. The ultimate scum, never have they done an honest thing in their lives.
1. Firefighters (in my town, there are *never* any fires and they are all fat)
2. Cops (My family and I have never had direct help from one of these ever, yes I live in a small town and the cops here are DIRTY!)
3. Fast food workers.

Man there are sooooooo many more.

:laugh: My answer was going to be pretty much this:

1. Lawyer
2. Politician (usually an ex-lawyer)
3. did I mention lawyer??

And yes, they're the lowest of the low......and always seem to procreate like cockroaches!!

1. Marketing guys
2. HR guys
3. The guys who invent the words like "synergy"
4. Anyone who works for RIAA or MPAA
5. cops who spend all of their time running speed traps. They're great the rest of the time.
6. salesmen who want to negotiate a price. Everyone should pay the same price for any product regardless of how good your negotiation skills are.
7. extremists of any type (environmental, religious, political, etc.). not really a profession, but still annoying.
8. guys who set up kiosks in the mall and try to sell you their worthless crap every time you walk by.
9. frivilous lawsuit lawyers
10. Technical recruiters who don't speak English well enough to be doing a telephone job.

1. Bankers
2. Insurance company employees
3. Any commissioned sales position
3a. Lobbyists
3b. Telemarketers
3c. Lazy ass people who think that recording a song entitles them to vast fortunes. Yes your song is good and you should be paid for your effort. Here is a penny. If you truly want paid....GET OUT AND FREAKING TOUR AND MAKE YOUR SHIT SOUND GOOD LIVE!!! You don't deserve millions for someone making you sound good in a studio. And the leeches that promote your work don't deserve dick either.

I have always thought that banks and insurance companies are the two biggest organized crime syndicates in the world. Sadly, I have been proven correct many times, many ways and by many different people.

I love how most people say "lawyer" but have probably had no direct contact with a lawyer whatsoever in their lives, other than camping out with some Doritos and a Law & Order marathon.
