What was the WORST, and I mean the absolute WORST job you've ever had? (This includes teenage summer jobs too)

I worked at Sam Goody while in HS. I can honestly say I don't ever want to work in a store ever again.

When I was 13, I worked in a bagel shop for about a year. (off the books, of course.)
Because I was the young'n, they made me do the WORST things - like this one time, there was a weird smell coming from one of the refrigerator cases. It turns out that the WHITEFISH SALAD (ew ew ew ew ew) had a crack in the container and has dripped allllll of the liquid out of the container and onto the shelves. THe case was ground level, and the owner made me crawl INTO the case (so I could reach the back) and scrub/scrape the decaying whitefish off the shelves. I absolutely HATE the smell of fish, and I had to get up to vomit TWICE. The bleach solution I was cleaning with was so strong that it burned a hole in my rubber gloves. My hands were burned, I was soooo sick, but I didn't quit, 'cause that $50 a week was really adding up!!!
Some people really get whats comin to them though - the owner was arrested and jailed several years later for beating his children.

Yay!
I worked at a pharmacy and the owner would only hire females because he liked to have 'control' -- it wasn't sleazy or anything but he treated me like an idiot and made me fill prescriptions all at the same time! it was my first job and i was sooo scared to screw up.
I quit within three months.... ugh. hated it!

worst- I worked sunday mornings at a real estate office as a receptionist. I hated it!! I was left all by myself, no internet, just phones off the hook about open houses and stuff. And the agents were not so nice!! Needless to say, only worked there for a month. I'm too hyper for that

I waitressed at a country club one summer. We didn't get tips, we got an hourly salary and many of the members weren't very nice. They couldn't believe that I was in college and had planned a 'real life.'

I have 2. My first job was at Subway. I was 16 and just happy to be working. There was such nepotism going around that it made me crazy! I quit after a year and went to work at Barnes & Noble (one of the best jobs!).
When I was in college in Boston, I worked a 'quickie' job over the weekend trying to get people to sign petitions. I hated it but the pay was good... people were so rude!

Re: QOTD ('cause Leese told me to yesterday!)
I worked for about a year for an environmental construction firm - a pretty big one, and I was the general manager (completely blind as to what the firm did). My boss would yell at me and tell me to curse out the suppliers 'cause 'that's how you do it in this industry'. I have no problem cursing - but not at work! It was so unprofessional - I hated it - and the stress was unbearable. Not surprisingly, the firm folded a few years ago...But I did meet FI there...

The worst job I ever had was doing telemarketing. It was so bad that when they told us to take a break, I told them that I wasn't coming back! I lasted all of 3 hours.

I just had it... I decided to take a part-time telemarketing job for some extra money.. I lasted three days! And in those three days, I got hung up on enough to last a lifetime! I hated it so much...
