I would say mine was working in a hospital laundry, up stairs you had to deal with all the dirty stuff, and down stairs you got it after it was washed, but every bit of equipment down stairs was generating heat, so you spent the day sweating your arse off lol.

Worked in a paper cup factory when I was 20 for 4 weeks. It was 12 hours shifts which consisted purely of putting paper cups into boxes.

I did 5 days in a row and by the end I was sat at home watching TV in the dark when I started seeing paper cups stack themselves up the wall.

The noise inside the factory was horrific as well, you couldn't hear yourself think

Jvc electronics factory....you had to put your hand up to go to the toilet, your name was then added to a list to wait for someone to take your position on the production line. I walked out once I was told this

Working night filling shelves in ASDA while I was at uni

It's actually really hard physically demanding work, I always seemed to get the heavy isle's like pop and after spending 10 hours a night lumping that lot about I'd be knackered then I'd have to go to uni when I finished. I hated it

An industrial laundry during the summer of 1976: hell on earth!

Making of me though. I had taken the piss at school and was about to go to college to take the piss there too. Working in that laundry showed me what my life would be like without qualifications and direction.

When my friend and I graduated uni we raised a glass to the foreman who made our lives a misery for the six weeks we worked there.

Cold calling telesales for double glazing when I was a teenager. I absolutely hate speaking on phones anyway which made it ten times worse. No idea why I did that.

I also worked on a cotton farm in Australia using heavy machinery to compact cotton in the blazing sun on a farm in the desert for 14 hours a day. That fucking sucked too. There was nothing for absolutely miles around so we couldn't even do stuff at the weekend apart from sit around in some shack.

No so much the job but the boss.

Working in a warehouse I had initially the best manager you could imagine.

Firm but fair and consistent you could see his influence all over.

When his replacement arrived it went downhill fast to the point it was becoming dangerous.

Like mentioned above it was a lesson about how the world can work

I did this at Somerfield while I was at college and fucking loved it (although it was evening and weekends, not nights). Facing up really appealed to my sense for order and I became a little obsessive over it.

Working at a faggot factory (Yes, seriously, they existed) when I was 18 before going to college.

The women who had been there years were a nightmare, the boredom was numbing and the smell was vomit inducing.

Yes they do, i worked at a combined pie, sausage, faggot and dogfood factory, for an agency, many moons ago. My friend worked there as well, i went to see him during a break once and found him boiling pig skins, nasty grey bubbly water and nipples poking out everytime they rolled over. I didn't eat pies or sausages for years after, never eaten faggots or dogfood since.

When I was a student and worked shifts at the local motorway services in the "restaurant". Twenty years ago they were a lot grottier!

Cleaning and clearing tables was stomach churningly gag-worthy! Used nappies was the worst regularly left detritus by the loverly clientele.

I gave it a month and jacked it in for the fruit and veg aisle at Sainsburys! At least the venomous spiders in the banana boxes didn't smell of second hand Huggies

I used to work as a cleaner in the NYC public schools and while the job was hard work and dirty as hell, I absolutely loved it. The people I worked with were amazing and it got me in the best physical condition of my life.

The worst jobs I've ever had were office jobs. The one I just quit is up there for one of the worst, along with being a legal intern for a very prominent lawyer. She was absolutely horrible to work for.

I've come to the conclusion that I simply don't like working in an office, so I'm rectifying that.

Blimey, lots!

I worked in a sex club - which was a hoot, but picking up shitty condoms was a low point

I worked in a chicken factory years back, in the cleaning dept - washing the trolley's and shelf within them that chickens had been cooked on.

Also worked with a woman in an office, just the two of us. We HATED each other and to cut a long story short, on my last day we were VERY open with each other about exactly why we hated each other. It was like a verbal boxing match!!

LOVE the job I do now TF

Gosh, after reading all the posts my worst job seems too wussy to post, but here it is.

I was temping in the early 80s and was sent to an audio typing job for one of the London health authorities. They put me in a box-filled store room in the basement with no window, a chair and typewriter and then failed to come back or give me any work. I left at lunchtime, got hell from the agency when I told them but the health authority didn't complain and I do wonder if they even noticed I had left.

Working in a Red Cross charity shop on part of a back to work scheme. The paid staff treated us like crap, 8 hours either trawling through bags of stinking, often stained, clothes and underwear or steaming them to hang with the world's heaviest industrial steamer. Paid staff got an hour for lunch, we got 20 minutes! Lasted 3 months before cracking up.
