Call centre staff are pretty psychotic, so are waiters. Anybody else - and why?!!

Mental health workers. Putting up with crazies has got to take it's toll. After a while, don't they just get insensitized?
Christian ministers and evangelists. Fanatics who are utterly obsessed with converting people to their cult. They truly believe there is only One True Faith and all others lead to Damnation. That's crazy. The human spirit is universal.
Long haul truck drivers. What a boring, yet stressful job. In the old days, and maybe some today, they would pop a bunch of pep pills to stay awake.
Waiters are crazy because they have to work directly with the public in an extremely intimate way, serving their food. Let's say you have five tables to take care of and you have side-work to do. You check your tables to see if you can get them anything else, people send you after a bunch of things, and some customers are rude, difficult, belittling, or all three.

Photographers
Healers
Scientists
Lawyers don't see the world like everyone else does
Teachers are too insulated, especially Primary
Actors who try too hard to be different - the rest seem very balanced
I could go on, but my psychotic nature is drawing me back to Emmerdale.....

In England, a fireman got into a tumble drier and was revolved while his friends filmed it and had a chuckle. It got in the papers, and the brigade management suspended them for letting down the image of the service.
They have a dangerous and stressful job, and were letting off steam.
I'd like to nominate the brigade management.

Crocodile & Alligator handlers. Went to a wildlife zone in Florida a few months back, the handlers must be totally insane. Bet insurance is a nightmare

I've always found neurologists to be extremely strange in behaviour. I reckon it has a lot to do with the fact they know too much about how the human brain works...

Psychology!
Not just being ironic - I've worked with a lot of trick cyclists, and they all struck me as being amongst the most screwed-up, issue-laden and dysfunctional people I've met!
(Just like most nutritionists I've met were really overweight!)
