Which Urbanite has the shitest job? - The Nominations!!

DrRingDing

'anti-human wanker'
I'll start with me.

I'm a paper boy in a foreign cold country.

I get up a 4am and am outside a quarter of an hour later in all weathers.

I have to deliver to blocks of flats which means constant walking up and down stairs. I have a million keys, which are a pain in the arse to let myself into these flats. Having to constantly unlock doors means I can't wear gloves. This resulted in my fingers being so numb I loose almost all motor control of my poor frosty fingers.

This morning I woke up to a blanket of snow which is gorgeous but makes it impossible for me to ride my bike and pull my paper trailer.

The country I'm in has a lot of mind numbing nationalism and thus an atmosphere to breed racism. Since one 'customer' has found out I'm a Johnny Foreigner he's complained twice about me for no good reason.

I don't believe I have the worst job on Urban as I know we have some factory workers here and from extensive experience of working in such soul destroying places that must be the shitest.

Next!
 
I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

Doley, so can't compete really, although I did once work in a photo print shop with a (female) manager who groped me and smelled of vomit.
 
i used to have one of tose sit in an empty room with a phonebook phoning people up at teatime to sell them double glazing jobs :(
 
Three years ago I decorated 9 foot tall xmas trees outside in the cold attaching everything with little bits of green wire for 10 hours a day on minimum wage. And then they sacked me after xmas!
Made me go and get a proper job though...

I think the postman wins for me so far. 4am! :(

That sounds pretty fooking cool actually. More interesting than most jobs, I'm sure.

I had a job cleaning carpets 6 days a week about 14 hours a day. On Christmas Eve, believe it or not, this family had us in their house cleaning around the Christmas tree. the carpet was so old that it was as thin as paper and kept getting caught in the machine.

One time we had to clean a carpet full of dog vomit. Everytime you hit a patch the smell would waft up into your face. Behind the cabinet there were all kinds of spider webs full of flees. Guess what happened to us? :cool:

You sir know far too much :p
 
Shite jobs, I've had a few but after all too few to mention (unfortunately not).

Working as a despatch rider in winter (only lasted 18 months).Left Bristol at midday, temperature indicator on Evening Post building showing -4C, rush job to a hospital in Merthyr. Got past Abergavenny and noticed the foot of snow on top of cars coming down from the Heads of the Valleys roads. Got to Merthyr, had to fill up maggot (CX500), pulled into first garage then realised entire forecourt was covered in black ice.Somehow got off forecourt in one piece and manged to find hospital (top tip: don't ask people directions in Merthyr wearing a flourescent bib showing that you come from Bristol). Security guard at hospital told me to ride up steps and park directly in front of hospital otherwise bike would get nicked.Got back to to office in Bristol, legs frozen solid, couldn't put a foot down when I came to a stop, ended up dropping bike, spent half an hour bent double until circulation returned.

I still reckon that was better than any job involving dealing with the public!
 
i nominate wiskey

for all the reasons she's already stated, but also because on top of all that she still found time for a mercy to chez elvis when i was stuck on my arse and poorly a year ago
