Default What do you consider the worst job would be?

You know, the job you would most hate to do.

I've had some pretty silly jobs. I worked on the street signing people up on the electrol role once. That was pretty awful.

but I was watching that new program on telly last night, Inspectors. I thought it was quite interesting, I would hate to be an inspector though. THe food ones were alright, but I would hate to be the one that had to go and talk to that "Anthem Avenger" who looks like he hasn't had a shower in a while, wont go and live in a motor camp and there were complaints that he was going to to the toilet on the sidewalk!

It's hard to narrow it down to just one worst job, so here's my list:

Proctologist
Dentist
Janitor/Person who picks up after filthy people
Telemarketer/Person who interrupts others' free time

Basically anything to do with faeces or rotting flesh, or anything menial.

I worked as a cleaner and it sucks big time. Some people are just animals when they know someone else will clean up after them.

I used to clean for a * well known softdrink company * in Christchurch and the funny thing was the factory workers were easier to clean up after than the sales reps and the big bosses, some of them were just pigs when it came to personal hygiene

I worked as a cleaner once too, in my Dad's office. I wasn't a very good cleaner and eventually got fired. I didn't enjoy that job at all - and I didn't even work too hard at it either. That was back in the days when people were allowed to smoke inside and there was one guy whose rubbish bin was always full of ash, cigarette butts and chewing gum where mostly the butts & ash would be stuck to the gum. It was pretty awful.

Quality Control Officer for home enema kits?

Or perhaps a politician's spin doctor - you'd never know when to stop living the lie . . . hmm, in fact, I'm starting to see some sort of connection between those two jobs

That would have been donkey's years ago. Most cemetaries in one area tend to share a small digger now.

I propose a new burial device to save time and money which we shall tentatively call "The Coffin Ram".

Why not just make cremation compulsory. Keep a big bonfire going - this will also keep the local homeless warm during winter.

Convenient, efficient, labour saving - yes.

But Nih's idea sounds more fun!

Just imagine - your job title would be "Coffin Ram Sharpshooter". You'd get lasers and beeping locators and everything.

You could say things like "Ya know, I'm so good at this I could do it from home."
