I had to word this strangely because others had asked...What was your worst job ever? what did you have to do?...Can you beat mine? For 7 years I worked with the developementally disabled. My work was one disaster after another. I had to take one client at a time out and they had to work volunteer jobs. Of course, they could not do these jobs so I did the Volunteer job while they would wonder around disturbing everyone. It was terrible trying to keep them under control. I had clients who were physically combative and who would swear at total strangers. Once I was volunteering at a park and my client came out of the bathroom covered in po since he was a guy it was a disator..eventually i began to try to avoid other people in the community because it always turned out badly. My job was to force my clients upon the community. I am free now and working with a higher functioning group and i enjoy my job.

Ya. I was learning to shear sheep and its was about 90 out and the sheep weighed probably 100 pounds and flipping them all around and trying to clip them right. I near threw up.
Worst job ever though was working a doctors office in which I had to get records ready for over 80 patients a day. Locate all most recent x-rays and records which usually meant trying to call other doctors and having them fax the records (and of course getting put on hold). I have to open all the letters. The secretaries complaining they had too much so then I had to answer calls as well. The boss decided that since I worked with the mail I should resend letters that were returned. I told the boss over and over that this was a job for 2 people and probably 3 and he said If you can maintain the same level then maybe at this time next year.
I then found out that a number of times he ran out of money and just didn't pay his workers. I quit and also found out that his entire staff quits about once a year.
And just to add to the crap he claims he gives christmas bonuses but what he did was say he gave the bonuses to some charity on our behalf. He never had a letter saying he did so. He just said he did.

That sounds like it would be pretty exhausting and my worst job doesn't really compare with that. I worked at K Mart when I was 19. They had me do EVERYTHING - hard home, paint, toys, furniture, cashier, AND go corral all the stupid carts from the lot when I was in the middle of something! Oh, and I was also in charge of fishing/hunting licenses and showing guns. Well, one time I was SO flustered with all the stuff they had me doing that I accidentally left the gun cabinet open when I ran off to do another chore blurted out over the intercom. This one old bitter lady said I was a "blithering idiot" (and she's not even from England) so that's when I said "I quit" and was OUTTA there that day!

I work at a daycare, and there are a set of four-year-old twins that have "bowel problems," shall we say. It was one of my first days, and I didn't know anything about their special needs. Being eager to help and make a good impression, I volunteered to change their pull-ups. Apparently they hadn't been changed for hours and hours... when I took the first one's pull-up off a glob of poo fell on the floor. It was all over the kid's back, legs, everywhere. I've never smelled anything like it. They'd had ravioli, and let's just say that with their condition, whatever they eat comes right back out. I literally felt like I was going to faint. The room was hot, I couldn't get any fresh air because there was no window. I threw up in the toilet, and the twins were laughing at me. I was sweaty and shaky. I tied a towel around my face to try to block the smell, but nothing worked. The worst part was that while I was changing the first boy, I knew I was going to have to do it all over again with the second boy.

You win...lol! That must have been horrible...but I bet you have the BEST stories! My worst was a movie theater where the manager looked like a wallrus and was very sexist. Altough I worked at a grocery store where about an hour before I had to go to work I would get the worst stomache ache, I hated the job that much!

I worked for a company that did drug testing on all applicants and part of my job was to actually perform the urine tests. I had to stand outside the bathroom door and wait for the guys to hand me their "pee cups"... then I had to use an eye-dropper to deposit the samples on to the test panels. Eeeeewwwwwww!

yes when I had to rip the gutts out of road kill and stuff that with their meat and sell it as hot dogs in the ball park (no gloves or face mask through out the process)

Pumping out septic tanks. While this was not my occupation, it was my tank. Done it more than once.
Yours, however, I couldn't do. Kudos for sticking with it for so long.
