Mine was unloading freight cars of produce which had been iced down with crushed ice, in late fall. You would lift the wood veg. crates, and in minutes you were soaked with ice water and chilled as much as the broccoli!

I worked at a call center. I was so good at it (yuk) that I was promoted to supervisor. The really awful part of it, was seeing telemarketers, desperate for work (14% unemployment rate at the time), supporting a family, unable to quit, actually break down in tears due to abuse on the phones. How do you tell an employee that it's just part of the job? And by the way, you cannot be rude in return. I could never understand, still can't, why people have to be so vile instead of just hanging up. I guess it feels good to be abusive to a stranger on the telelphone? :(

I worked at this job myself. I tried to sell a beauty course. I did well but it sure wasn’t a satisfactory job. I lasted two months and broke a record for length at that company.
P.S. Just lately I’ve been having a lot of solicitations. When I say “No thanks” They get all surely and bang the phone down. ARGHHH!

This is "almost" to embarrassing to talk about, but my worst job was my first job as a hotel maid. I had moved to Orlando, Florida and got hired on at a Budget Inn. During my first day I was sent to a room where the bedspread was a little amiss with a wet wadded up wash cloth on the bedside table. I was told at this time to just straighten the bedspread and replace the wash cloth because this room had been rented by the hour. (You know what I mean)
I wanted to quit my job right then and there, but I REALLY needed the money so I stayed until about two weeks later when I was asked to clean the restaurant/lobby bathrooms at which this time was unaware that the plumbing had backed up and there was sewage seeping up through the floor. I had never dealt with anything like this before so I went to one of my supervisors who was eating breakfast in the restaurant/lobby to ask her if she would come and help me. She saturated the deck mop with urine and feces overflow and then rinsed it out in the bathroom sink with her bare hands (NO SOAP) and then she handed the mop back to me and went back to her seat and resumed eating her breakfast. I was so appalled and disgusted that I wanted to puke. I quit my job immediately.
I found another job at a reputable hotel a couple weeks later which catered to Disney and Universal Studio vacationers, it was a great place to work and it remains to be one of my favorites still today.
