What's the worst job you've ever had?

I worked at McDonalds as a teenager, which was bad but could have been worse. Anyone had a really shitty job?

I worked as a vet tech for a long time that involved a lot of shit. But I loved that job. I'm going to say the worst job for me was data entry for Catholic Charities.

I worked at Wendy's for almost 2 weeks when I was a kid. Hated it and never ate there again.

I did a summer working as an intern for a civil engineering firm between my senior year of high school and first year of college.

It really had nothing to do with civil engineering and was more about general bitch work around the offices and the owners personal properties. And as a bonus the owner was both a pompous prick and bipolar.

Jobs that I got stuck doing for $5 an hour:

- Using acid to hand scrub the brick buildings. Still have a bit of a scar on me 10 years later from that one where the acid worked under my gloves and ate a hole in my wrist.

- Painting the tin roofs of buildings in the middle of midwest august

- Getting handed a rain coat, a set of goggles, and a pressure washer and getting dropped into a maintenance pit to spray out the grease, mud, and grime from the bottom of the drilling rigs they used to take core samples.

- Digging trenches in miserable midwest summers.

- Shoveling mulch in miserable midwest summers.

- Getting lifted up in a frontloader bucket to clean out gutters in two story buildings.

And the list goes on. That job SUCKED.

Prior to that when I was in junior high I picked strawberries and detassled corn in the summers. Both of those pretty much blew too.

I worked in the meat deptartment of a grocery store. The actual job sucked, but the worst part was cleaning up at the end of the day. We had this water hose that had hot chemicals and I had to make sure everything was spotless. It sucks smelling like half cooked hamburger meat at the end of the day.
