trimming tires at Michelin back in may-june '99
not the best job for someone with back problems since you have to throw the tires onto a conveyor belt
plus it's loud, the trimming knives make the nerves in your hands tingle all the time, the shifts are twelve hours long that are sometimes morning and sometimes afternoon all within the same week, the trimmed rubber gets into everything, you have to wear protective eyewear and gloves and it smells.
I use to work the grave yard shift at a resturant that was down the street from a bunch of bars,when the bars closed they all came in and it wasnt pretty,most people were so drunk that the food made them sick and they would often pass ot at the table or throw stuff around,i even seen two tables get into a fight and they were throwing forks and knives at each other.the cops were called every weekend. I got my own stalker and every thing.it was a nightmare.
Hmmm, can babysitting jobs count? I have some real horror stories there -_-
When parents tell you not to give the kids too much sugar, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY! I'll never forget dear Kevin. He had 2 cookies and went beserk. I had to chase this insane child all around his house. During the process an expensive lamp broke. Thank god I wasn't made to pay for it. Needless to say, I never watched that brat again.

Get this! My friend has a job picking up dog crap. Sounds like the worst job ever huh?But not! He makes all his rounds in the morning, he is usually home by 1 or 2pm and he makes $1000 U.S. a week! A WEEK! geeze!!
my best friend cleans port-a-pottys and he gets great money too!
..shit happens.
my worst job ever was doing food prep. awful. i quit after the second day. the problem was that during the lunch rush, i also had to fill soup orders, and the manager was always right in my face yelling the whole time. awful. and very hot in there too. and did i mention it was awful? i've mostly had office or retail jobs - much nicer than food related work. btw, phoenix, i've just started volunteering (not even gettin paid!) at a tiger sanctuary. there will be some interesting cleaning there. probably not as much "hands on" with the tigers as you had with the cats and dogs, though.
