Telemarketing for a company soliciting preventive termite infestation services. They give you this script and a book full of rebuttles so you are prepared when folks want to get off the phone. After the first call I went to the restroom and never went back! Come to think of it I never got paid for that hour! They owe me $5 bucks!

I worked at an aluminum die casting plant. The machines were so old and worn out that molten aluminum would spray out the top of the dies and rain down ou you, burning whatever part of your body they would touch. I lasted 3 days. Worst 3 days of my life!!!!

Worst job had to be sorting oysters on a dock. Stood before a MOUNTAIN of oysters and smelly slimey worms and other assorted yuk. Big ones went here, little ones went there, medium ones went over there. God that was awfull. Wanted to make my living by the sea! Ya..good plan. Doing it now but in a slightly cleaner environment.
Second worse was sorting "Wheres Waldo" jig saw puzzles. Do you have ANY idea how many different " Wheres Waldo" puzzles there are?
God 30 years later and I can still smell that pile of rock covered snot. I don't like oysters.
