What’s the worst job you’ve ever had ? And why !

[Vicky.]

Telemarketer. But I understood why so many people abused me too really, I was having to try and sell timeshares to randomers. You can imagine how well that went. Was a short job too because you had to hit unrealistic targets given you could only really sell to extremely stupid people.

I lasted 1 day in a similar job but its still not classed as my worst, probably because I only stuck it out for a day Was cleaning in the raddison blu hotel chain. I did one thing wrong and they ransacked the room I had just done (all the stuff that was right) and told me to start from scratch so I told them to **** off and walked out.

I once worked at a softplay place, and I mean once

The job itself was okay, nut they didn't have cleaners - we had to do it at the end of the shift. I caught sight of myself wielding a vacuum cleaner in the full length window thing, and thought fuuuuuuuck this

Apprentice electrician.

The bloke training me was a scottish international rugby player, he unfortunatly died this year of pancreatic cancer..same as my dad who was his partner in the business that I was training to join.

He treated me like ****e, and dropped me 40 feet from a ladder onto a farmyard courtyard. Pissed himself laughing. Next week he hit his thumb with a hammer and pinned me up against a wall for laughing at him.

Still miss him, funny he died of he same thing as my dad.. the 2 owners...

I worked in a petrol station when I was at college. I left after we had a promotional day where they made me dress in a Bertie Bassett costume and stand on the main road waving at cars while having abuse and rubbish thrown at me from cars. That was a low point in my career

When I was training one of my placements was in an EYFS setting, and for a fete thing I had to dress as a parrot. I heard them all - "that looks like an EGGcting job!" ... "I bet that's a feather in your cap!" ... "Were you the one who pooped on my car?"

I wouldn't mind but that last one was before i wore the costume!
