What's the crappiest job you've had?

[SubDad]

I got hired to be quality manager at both an aircraft avionics shop and a separate but same owner general maintenance and structural repair organisation. Took me about two weeks to discover there wasn't any quality to manage.

I toughed it out as best I could but three months later I called the place I'd quit from and begged for my old job back.
They took me back and I stayed there another 15 years.

Shift manager at McDonalds.

I did general maintenance and mechanical repair on a large dairy, they had three locations. Anything you had to do, anywhere in the entire series of facilities, the first step was to use a putty knife to scrape the 6"+ of caked on cow shit off of everything. A loader oil change took about 5 gallons of oil, which had to come from a tank outside, that took about 40 min to fill when it was below freezing. Any task completed would likely consist of getting either dry crusty cow shit in and around your eyes and mouth, or getting runny cow shit in and around your mouth.

Special boots were required to "wade" into the main areas where the cows gathered, and you would be doing anything/everything in a mucky puddle of cow shit/piss about 8-10" deep. Dropping tools would mean apple bobbing around in cow excrement to find the tool you dropped.

Any tool or equipment left unattended would be eaten by the stupid fucking cows. They had a penchant for spark plug wires and fuel filters/hoses on the generator/welder. They would rub upon the mirrors of any truck in the field, and snap them off. One day, a bunch of them got out and ate the windshield washer sprayers off my DD in the parking lot outside.

You could never get the smell of cow shit off your body, or out of your clothing. It was quite disgusting, because I could smell the scent of milk in their shit/piss. So I couldn't drink milk nor eat cheese after that.

A lot of the work was in sub-freezing temperatures. It's so cold that it makes your nose run, then your snot freezes into your facial hair, or you end up with snot icicles dangling from your nostrils, that pull out all your nose hair when you break them off.

I haven't even begun to describe working/repairing equipment in the milking barns, or the birthing hutches where cows are walking along with a calf/placenta half hanging out of their cow vaginas.

Oh, and the people I worked for would butcher cows in my workshop. They would hang then from the rafters, and use my oil sump tanks to bleed them out, so I would have used gear oil and motor oil, and cows blood overflowing the sumps, and spilling all over the shop floor, where I would have to roll around to work on equipment.

I'll stop before I get to the really gross stuff, but I will say, my second day, a cow in the milking barns runny shat everywhere, and is sprayed up and into my face/mouth, causing me to puke all over an illegal immigrant milker, who then proceeded to puke all over his other two coworkers, who then puked upon one another.

Wait, what was this thread all about? Oh, fuck all you whiny little bitches complaining about working at McDonalds.

Wow some pretty horrible stories. I can't say I've had any "crappy" jobs. When I was in Highschool I was working @ Roy Rogers, McDonald's and Popeyes at the same time. lol, I thought I was ballin' and loved every minute. Every summer I worked for Eureeka Van & Storage who's the official movers of the Washington Redskins. Some pretty shady characters there. When Dana Stubblefied left the 49ers we moved him to the DMV and a few of his crates weren't sealed properly. Man you would've thought it was a crazy "free" yard sale or something. Everybody running around stealing all this man's household items really had shaken my faith in humanity. Later that summer I got tasked to work @ the Department of Health and Human services warehouse in Gaithersburg, MD. It was funny cause the FDA's warehouse was right next door and there would be picketers and rioters out there on a regular basis shouting all kinds of craziness at us when we'd go in/out the area. It was hilarious. Actually that's probably the funniest job I'll ever have. Because the government can't be bothered to donate their old computers and equipment we'd have to destroy them so every morning I'd be given a sledge hammer and have to destroy old computers, desks and filing cabinets. These were the days of those big CRT monitors and when you'd hit them this huge purple smoke would come flying out. Loved that job.

[Vtec?lol]

Damn, Farbs wins. Lots of the milk we drink contains shit and piss.

[Farbin Kaiber]

^Well, actually, it's only a percentage of a percentage of the milk you drink. But, they pasteurize it so, it gets heated to high heavens to kill any of the bacteria, but interestingly enough, this same process kills much of the beneficial nutrients in said milk.

That said, I drink goat milk now, and we have a bunch of goats we milk. Contrary to popular belief, it actually tastes very good, and we treat our goats like pets, not livestock, so everything is very clean, and goats shit pellets, not runny mess, so it's a much cleaner environment. Also to note, the reason why the cows in large factory dairies have such runny mess, is due to the fact that they are fed a high nutrient mix of stuff that makes them produce lots of milk, side effect is the runs.

Oh, and I'm Brandon, not Ryan.

Like he said, if you drink milk for the vitamin and nutrient benefits....you're wasting your time....take vitamins.

I like it because I have a sick addiction to cereal.......

sandstorms fucking suck.

Worked construction in Santa Maria in Cali. I had this thing where whenever I would be up in high places or next the the edge of said place, I would picture myself always falling off to a gruesome death without fail. Well the first day, of ever working in construction too btw, I started they they had me go top of the rafters and man did vertigo kick in like a bitch. I was carrying hundred pounds of rebar on my shoulders while walking across a couple of 2x4 planks 50ft in the air.

I enjoyed it though because I lost that sensation after sucking it up. Honestly, gave me a new respect for those hard working mexican workers. No matter what I could do output wise they could do it better, twice as fast while being 3x the age.

I can't say I had bad jobs just shady or lazy people to work with. Im the loudest guy by default and so I got used as the scape goat in every plausible denial story lol.

It's not like you had to work with cow shit... I guess the people at mcdonalds were smarter than you in job choice ;)

[nickmcc92]

Pushing carts in front of Home Depot.
Just knowing you have to come to work and push carts around for 8 hours sucks.
Plus you have the big lumber carts.

LOL. There comes a point in a mans life when he must take what he can to provide for himself, his family, and the responsibilities he bears the weight of. I searched for more than a year, and when the job came up, I did what I had to do. But yeah, I could have likely gotten a minimum wage job in fast food, or something similar.

Unfortunately, I was too proud for that, and I think I got kicked in the balls, and taken down a few rungs for having been that stubborn. Life lesson, learned.

(Note: I think the above duststorm and related is a job much tougher than what I had, and I thank, appreciate, and respect those that have taken the responsibility to fill that position,and for the things I've gained, or had because of those that do it.)
