Most hated job?
 

Of all the jobs you may have had, which did you hate the most?

Why did you hate it so much?

"Pumping Burgers" at Burger King. It consisted of taking the frozen patties out of the freezer and putting them into the broiler, along with the appropriate amount and sizes of buns. I had to listen as orders came in, figure out how many and which sizes of patties and buns needed to go on for each order, and keep a running tally. When it got busy, I had as many as 20 1/4lb burgers and 30 1/3lb burgers in queue, with many of those being doubles, so it wasn't as simple as having 50 buns ready to load when there was room.
Plus, it was hot as f***

Kitchenhand in a smallish kitchen at a restaurant that was fairly popular. There was me, the chef, and a dishwasher. It got insanely hot during lunch because the kitchen wasn't very big and there was food cooking all the time plus all the running around and trying to keep up with everything. It fucked up my back a bit because it involved some heavy lifting and I'm not very strong, plus I didn't have the best shoes, and you had no time to sit down and rest for a minute or two. Everyday on the bus ride home I could see people trying to avoid me because I was smelling of all kind of stuff, my hair was a mess, and I probably looked like a zombie.

Waitressing at a tourist bar during the summer rush.

While in college I did my fair share of schlepping tables. The money was good, but the hours on my feet could be rough. During a few summers as an undergrad I worked at a bar/pub on a island off the coast of New England. The locals were generally decent, but during the summer crush some of the tourists could be insanely rude and/or crude. I took to wearing a wedding ring to fend off the worst of the lot, but it didn't help much.

(Funny, how most of the responses deal with the food service industry.)

Paper boy. Papers are incredibly heavy if you have to handle hundreds of them daily, especially the weekend editions. In addition to that, it was always either way too hot to deliver them or pouring rain, and no matter how you handle them you always end up with black hands from the ink that rubs off.

That's an easy one. I worked day shift at a student beer place. The days began with toilet cleaning... and went down from there. Heavy lifting (re-stocking, carrying empty and full kegs), dishwashing... and then the customers arrived. Watching students get drunk loses its charm really quickly.

One of my first jobs was on a tree trimming crew. The guys went up in buckets and cut huge branches. I was the jackass on the ground with the hard hat dodging branches and lifting and feeding them into the chipper. Brutal!

I think originally I would have said my current one but I'm starting to get to like it now

I did have a really boring job in a very quiet office on my own.

Working in a greenhouse, picking tomatoes. It was incredibly tedious and repetitive.
To make it even worse, we weren't allowed to talk at all. I lasted 5 days.

Damn and it would be really hot as well

Yes it was! And I had to start at 4 in the morning :mad:

I was working in a bakery and doing various jobs. Should've had a full time position on 3 different occasions and the hiring company didn't think I had even applied for one. I hated the fact I was passed up for no true reason and then they didn't truly care about me at all.
