Here's a random thread brought to you by a random moodswinger. Wahaha.
Anyways. Let's hear it. What was the worst job you have ever done? Ever. This includes those little "jobs" that don't really count on a resume, anyways..

Mine-

When I was 15, my aunt would hire me as extra help in her little "Apartment Restoration" job. We'd clean up after people who move/get kicked out, and set it up for the next unlucky soul to end up there.
Reason why it's the worst:
.....Have you ever tried to clean a Kitchen AND a bathroom that had NOT been cleaned in over six years? Naaaasty.

Telemarketing. I worked for a company called Shoppers Select for about a month, receiving phone calls from people answering ads seeking "Mystery Shoppers." I read from a script and had to get credit card information offa people.

One of my last days, I just kinda sat and chatted with a guy who was talking about some of the jobs he had over the phone. I didn't get the sale, but he was a fascinating gentleman. None of my supervisors really knew about that call [they would have busted my balls BIG TIME if they did].

My boss [total douchebag, by the way] suspended me for three weeks because I didn't "know the script." Which was actually a pile of shit. My trainers and supervisors always complimented me on my recital of the script. I could still spill it out to this day, which is a little sad. I told him my trainers told me otherwise, and he told me they were obviously wrong. So what did I do? After I got out of his office... I told my trainers what he said.

Apparently, he got a LOT of shit for it. I think he left the company shortly after, because when I came back to pick up my last check, there were talks of higher-ups getting shifted around, and him getting replaced. So at least I took someone down with me.

Worse job i ever had? Jesus where do i even start? my first job, i would honestly have to say. I worked for Cold Stone Creamery. For the select few who don't know what it is, here's a little explanation on it. Its an ice cream store where you pick your ice cream, or whatever, an' you pick the shit you want in it. Example: Vanilla ice cream. You want M&Ms? got it. We put the ice cream onto a granite slab, dump a scoop of M&Ms in it and then mix it all up then put it into a cup or cone. You get your food. Worse part? When anyone tipped us, we had to sing. No, i'm not shitting you. We had a lsit of sings we could choose from to sing. these songs ranged from a couple nursery rhyme songs, but the words were replaced with something cold stone ice cream related. I wish i had a bullet for every sonava bitch who left a tip. My pay check was only 60 bucks every two weeks. Minimum wage SUCKED. Oh and i have a new job now. I'm a telemarketer XD I make calls for charities.
