If anyone can top that, then I will buy you a beer.
 
Oh, I also worked in a cemetary, but that job was pretty cool. Who else can say that they legally buried a human body?? I didnt think so...


you owe me a beer.

my legal experience/my job of burring bodies has your shitty fitness job beat.  Try digging the hole with a pocket shovel.
 
 
I would rather dig holes with a pocket shovel over wiping shit/vomit/sperm off of various gym surfaces anyday.
 
funny/tragic story: Someone threw up while running on a treadmill & got puke EVERYWHERE. & they neglected to tell anyone, so about an hour after it happened (& it was mostly dried & stuck to everything) I had to clean about 1 gallon of stomach acid. I touched a HUGE chunk of something, which ultimately made me vomit. I made it to the supply closit, fortunately, but then was forced to clean up my own vomit, as well as the vomit of a complete stranger.
And that was the exact moment when I realized that God is a mean, mean spirit with a cruel sense of humor.

Would have to be unemployment. Sure it was pretty great for a few weeks, bathing in movies, breathing PS3, drinking....ALOT and surfing the net all day. Then you wake up and find there's nothing cool you could actually do that you haven't already done(on an unemployment budget anyways, well besides fucking lol) you feel, well lets say not amused. Oh but my least favorite actual job was customer service at a shitty business that had rats and drunks for salesmen. :)

i've never collect unemployment.... and i get so frustrated by 'customers' of mine that come in collecting that, a baby bonus and getting money from an ex and whine about how tough life is while they make literally double what i do without actually having a job.
 
anywho.. enough of a rant.
 
 
so yeah, my worst job was assistant manager at tip top tailors.  my co-manager was borderline retarded... nice enough guy till he had a mood swing, but man... he was impossible to work with.  eventually got so paranoid that i was trying to 'take his job' (even though we we both at the same position) that he started threatening me... so i told him to fuck off and threw my stupid name badge at him during the visit from the bigwigs...  that was fun.

right now probably cashiering at target. The people I work with aren't bad. I just hate the people that come in. They're always like "I can't believeI spent so much." Once in awhile I meet someone chill but most of themare just so stupid.

Truestar fitness.. I was a personal coach and it fucking sucked.  I took the job there because I wanted to train people, but that quickly turned to a lot more sales than I had ever bargained for.. and not just memberships but also vitamins, supplements and it was all scripted out for us to basically recite over and over.... to make matters worse, we HAD to go door-to-door for at least an hour a day in the middle of deathly winter storms.. preying on old people and trying to convince them that they needed a membership... like really, you are 85 and you can still walk?  i'd say you're doing pretty good..  i got in shit for that attitude and quit.

Its hard to pin down a least favorte job. I have actually been pretty good at picking jobs, and with all my jobs, I have liked the work, but had just hated the boss.
 
The worst job probably was this window washing job I did a few summers back. I actually liked the work, and the pay, but my boss was a douche bag. He was this angry man who had a wife he recently divorced and pregant with another man's baby. And after doing DNA testing on 5 different men, they still didnt know who the father was.
Anyway...that added to the fact that he was a dick. We would work from 7 in the morning till dark usually which in the summer is around 8 or 9. And we did this 6 days a week. I didnt mind the work, and actually it is kinda neat to have strangers invite you into their house to wash windows. But the boss would sit there and scream at all of us all the time, for no reason. he just made our lives hell working for him. I couldnt take all the screaming. He would scream until the vein in his forehead would popout. But yeah, he made the job painful. I only lasted 3 months before I told him shuv it up his ass.

Picking up road kill and cutting up fallen trees was a pretty fucking horrible job.

why do you get frustrated by people on unemployment? If they're making more money on unemployment than you  make at your job it's because they had a much better job than you currently have. unemployment is only given to people who have worked and they're paid a percentage of what they made at their last job. if you want to get frustrated aim it towards people on welfare who have never worked, and won't get cut-off in 6 months like [people on unemployment do.

nagative there good buddy good pal.   this customer i was referring to was a recent immigrant who had never worked in canada.  but to keep her from feeling all butt-hurt, they called it unemployment and she got a greater amount.  and i probably got carried away, she makes more when all is said and done, not just from her gov't cheque.
 
but yeah.. you'd be amazed at the customers i get in that are on welfare or permanent disability or such, yet they have the most expensive tastes.  i actually had one who i managed to get approved on a loan for a chrysler 300... he refused saying he needed heated leather and a sunroof. obviously i couldn't get that financed so it was my fault.
 
and i do get frustrated by unemployment... unemployment should be a job at mcdonalds.  not a cheque for attempting to find a 'better' job while you have time off.  as much as i have empathy for those who have lost a job for one reason or another, be responsible for your own actions. be it quitting, doing a shite job or choosing to work for a company that could go under/need layoffs. 
 
i'm currently looking for work even though i've got a job... because its in automotive, who knows what could happen? if my store goes out of business, i'll pick up a job roofing or such till i can find something better.

If you're looking for work, try McDonalds.
Etiquette? Is that some sort of toilet paper?

i gotta agree with sharon, bath & body works was a nightmare to work at. i did retail while i was in college and they were by far the most stressful jobs i've ever had. having to work long extended hours during the holiday season, not having weekends off, being micro managed, and crappy pay with no benefits = yuck

I had this temporary job working for this company a few summers back and basically had to call all of their customers and ask for information regards their product... Argh, nothing could have been worse, dealing with rude people who refused to tell you anything, and then just constantly calling no stop for 8 hours, after 3 weeks luckily my contract was up, despite the fact that they asked if I wanted to stay for longer...NO WAY.
we've been working hard trying to save all our money, when we get
there it better be glistening snow and sunny, all I know for sure
is that, I'm on my way.. I'm heading for the mountains..oh oh
