We all had or already have a crappy job. I'm a busboy/cook at a Greek family restraunt. The work sucks big time, but the social aspect is awesome! Example, live lobster fights with the other busboys and throwing rolls at the waitresses or the restraunt owner's annoying kid. I've both had great and horrible times at this restraunt. But I rather be working there than standing over a microphone wearing a funny hat and asking people what they would like to order.

My first job was hostessing at a Greek restaurant. I don't want to appear anti-Greek, so I will shut my mouth right now.

My worst job was cocktail waitressing in college on Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view nights. Man see fight, man like fight, man like waitress, man like to grab waitress and beer at same time, man trying to start fight, man think he is Ken Shamrock but man ends up getting assed kicked by little Lucky Charms-sized bastard. Waitress gets stiffed tip and gets man's beer dumped all down the front of her while trying not to get knocked out. Waitress thinks, are we sure we are in college?

Zens, if you hadn't told us, I would have had to guess that those were your college days. Ahh, the memories. I know it's not as much fun being beer-soaked while you're at work though /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

Anyway, I have had more than my share of "Joe jobs". I'd have to say my crappiest job was when I worked at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I was a sweeper, and spent my entire summer in the hot Virginia humidity, mopping up hurl and lungbutter, and answering dumb touron's questions. My only satisfaction was derived from misguiding guests, sending them on the longest possible route to their intended destination. Of course, I only saved that cruel punishment for the really fun guests who liked to curse and yell about how stupid I was, and how I didn't know what I was talking about.

My crappiest job (in more ways then one) is when I was in college, I had to clean the solid waste trucks as they came in to the facility. I lasted only 1 month there.

It paid good, but the smell was too much to bear.

The last straw is when my ex GF refused to kiss me after work, until I took a shower. The nerve of that girl!

I had a job where I had to sit around all day and play video games, for $80k a year. That sucked.

The only part that is not true is how much I was paid. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

<font color="purple">My worst job was passing out flyers for a local congressman in the area on one of the hottest days of the summer. And all I got was a lousy t-shirt. </font color>

My first job was at the local Burger King- that sucked ass- I was accused of eating pickles while making Whoppers (I hate pickles) Then I bagged groceries for a month- that sucked ass, too- carrying groceries out in the rain and fronting the shelves. So I quit, took the money I made, bought a lawn mower and started making real money- that summer I made almost seven grand mowing grass. I miss being my own boss (soon my pretties, soon my plan for world domination will be put into motion once again...) But in the meantime I shouldn't complain, I get paid to watch TV three and a half days a week... now if weren't NBC...

My first job was....was...well, I never had a job in my life, yet. But I'm young. I do too sit around and play video games all day. I just don't get paid for it. (damn where did I go wrong?)

Worst job ever- cleaning dorms at Michigan State after students leave for the summer. You wouldn't believe some of the nasty (and literal) shit we would find while cleaning the rooms. And it only paid 7 bucks an hour. Yuck!

I can't really complain about any job that I have had. I have had very good luck in finding good jobs. The only bad thing was working for a lumber yard that was going under. Everybody at the stores is working their asses off to keep things afloat; at the same time the CEO/CFO/executives are getting rich while not really caring if things go badly. But, when times were good, it was a pretty good job.

I keep asking her but she just turns her big fat Greek ass away from me and pretends I didn't say anything, and when I ask a second time, she tells me to go away. Secondly, take things into your own hands and get yourself a job somewhere! (By yourself! BE A MAN!!)

You know, there should be a job suited to lazy people. Wait a minute, there is. Is called being the POTUS.

worst job I did was night porter at a hotel, buncha ingreats coming in drunk and all I have is a riot shield-esque door between me and them, also the fact I wasn't used to all night shifts. Patrolling the various floors and some slight cleaning, boy did that suck.
