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.)
