Default Worst job ever?

What is the worst job you've ever had? I was talking with my nephew over Christmas and he as a job cleaning in a large stadium after concerts. He says it's terrible becasue of all the people who throw up. What is the worst job you have ever had?

working at mcdonalds & I have had jobs when I was younger that you would think would have been worse but no this was the worst job ever!! I would rather wash dishes than work at mcdonalds ever again. I lasted about 2 weeks total thier. I usually dont say I even worked thier I figure two weeks dont count but it only lasted that short of time because it was so bad.

Bus person in a mexican restaurant in a college town. Bus people cleaned the bathrooms. Drunk college kids. Oh yeah, marvelous. Puked up mexican food, guys who can't hit the urinal.

Not to mention the drunks who thought they could hit on you and touch you where ever.

I agree with Snoopy, McDonald's is hands down the worst job I ever had. I quit after two months. It is until this day the only time I quit a job because I could not stand it, all other jobs I have left for better opportunities.

I deal with throw up and accidents. And unfortunately two kids that are 3yr7mos that aren't potty trained yet. But I am a preschool teacher. I dread the messy diapers from those two kids... but at least the rest of the day is better!

Guess it's not surprising to tell you that myworst jobs were 2 jobs I was fired from years ago, after working at each just a few weeks.

In each case it was a very small company, headed by the owner. I was hired at both as a writer, but at the dental trade magazine, she got pissed becus i didn't know how to prepare a package for fed ex, apparently didn't want to just show me how, and expected i'd know this but i didn't, having worked at much l arger companies where someone else did that.

At the other place, a financial newsletter, it was a similar situation.
