Hotel maid at the beach. Every bed smells like shrimp farts, ocean water, walmart sunscreen, and jhizz.
LOL
you ever hear that deal about always locking your toothbrushes up with your other valuables.
Supposedly these people came back from a trip, (film camera era)
Got their film developed and there was a pic of their toothbrushes in some hairy ass crack. Consuela hooked em up.
Toothbrushes get zipped up in a shaving kit in the luggage. That way I figure Consuela and Diabeto will be too busy digging through dirty laundry pockets for stray 20s to bother jamming our toothbrushes in their asscracks.
The job I disliked the most was my first (a summer job as a kid), working in a facility dedicated to rebuilding carburetors. We stripped them down, sand blasted the parts that were going to be reused, and rebuilt them for sale. I didn't stay long there. Just about a month.
Sewer and septic aint as bad as you might think. I did inverts depths, z elevations, mapping flows of sewer for several years
My little sister did a stint as an electrician in a sewage treatment plant for a town of about 300K. She invited me for the tour. I should have thought a bit longer before saying "cool." It wasn't as bad as I could imagine but it was worse than I did imagine.
I spent the summer loading hay bales in Washington state. 95 pound bales of alfalfa. My helper and I put a thousand of them in the barn in a day, working 12 hours. Each bale is lifted 3 times. Hard to imagine a worse job than that.

If you live, you end up looking like Arnold the rest of the year.
When I first began work at Wilson's pack, I spent one day running hogs up the chute on the kill floor. That was bad enough, but right next to us was the beef kill. A critter would be led into a stall, it would be dropped with a whack on the head with a hammer whose head was driven by a .22 blank. A leg would then be shackled, the floor of the stall would drop away at the same time that the shackle hoisted the stunned beast into the air, where its jugular would be cut to bleed it out. As it swung away the process would repeat itself. The floor drain would need to be kept clear of the coagulating blood. This job fell to a small fellow with a cart and scoop, who spent his day going about his task as the blood draining from the fast-becoming-carcasses on the line above rained down on him.
Telemarketer calling regarding your car warranty! I would rather be a honey dipper. I think the worst would be cleaning the grease trap at the crematorium.
my worst doesn't compare but it was being a security cop in a construction sight in the hood on swing shift. no weapons of any kind allowed and constantly having roving bands of groid kids throwing rocks at the trailer, smashing schit within eye sight and then goading me to come catch them. $4.25/hr baby. the cops were real slow on responding too. good times, good times.

I had the same job. Overnight guard at an aluminum plant. Same thing. No gun allowed, but I had my Model 60 S&W carried IWB regardless.
Doing underwater work in some nasty dark bodies of water and some of the body recoveries were pretty heinous, but the job I hated the worst was working in a fiberglass pultrusion plant. I hate freaking fiberglass!
Cow man in north Texas for the last week. The brain deads killed the power in the middle of the night when it was just above zero. Wellhouse froze solid and two houses pluming probably toast. Bustin' ice on the tanks so the cows can drink haulin' water from a neighbor whose well didn't freeze, tractors won't start. Got one started and its been running for three days Supposed to be close to 70 next week global warming my ass.
I walked out to the fiber glass building at Kenworth in 1974. One sniff of the fumes inside of that building, and I thought, "10 minutes would give me permanent brain damage"
I'm more likely to quit a bad manager than a bad job.
Exactly why I took early retirement from corrections. Didn’t have a problem with dealing with inmates. It was the evil, corrupt, superintendent whose only qualifications for the job were a gigantic set of bolt ons. No transfer opportunities so took early retirement and went into oilfield security. Ended up making more money and loved the job. She was livid that I would take early retirement. I was one of the few supervisors with any long term experience and it left her with a lot of new inexperienced supervisors. She swore I’d come crawling back. Never did.
I could be happy pumping portapotties if I had a good boss.

I bucked bales on my Cousins farm every summer for about 5 years in Ellensburg. After work I would be fishing several ponds stuffed full of Rainbow trout and blasting away Muskrats with a shotgun....fun times!!
Dock worker for Roadway was one hell of a [bleep] job.
Also with for a company that made fiberglass shower stalls in Adelanto CA.
For a three month span I walked the perimeter fence picking up trash at The Barstow California dump. Found a dead guy once. Walked up on him and immediately knew he was deceased. It looked almost as if he were taking a break laying down hands resting on his chest, and then there was the obvious bullet entry hole wound to the side of the head and the blow out on the other side. It freaked the illegal workers out and the all left and went home.
I knew a dude who worked at the zoo in Tyler, Texas. And his job was to use a hammer and chisel to chip off the calcified rhinoceros urine from the cinderblock wall in the indoor part of their pen where they’d piss on it.

I've been working in the water and waste water business for over 35 years, I can tell you pulling used condoms, and white mice ( tampons) out of the impellor of a clogged sewage pump is no way to spend Christmas day. But it has kept food on the table and a roof over my head.
A refinery job can suck having fought three fires in two let alone a number of "simpler" crises. The chitt drove me. My youngest, 22, is helping sort steam failures, hydrogen loss and leaking hydrocarbon lines in the countries largest refinery at this moment. He's loving it as did I.
Adam Corolla had a radio show 15 years ago. He asked for callers to come up with the worst job experience ever.
A fireman called up saying his first day task on his new job was to go into a home and retrieve a dead body. It stunk so bad, he puked twice before finding the body. The body was a fat black woman fallen forward. The dog had eaten parts of her. He had to throw away all of his clothes except his boots.
The next few callers, Adam would yell at them, "HOW CAN YOU CALL ME WITH THAT LAME STORY?.... AFTER THE FIREMAN?"
One of the first jobs I had was cleanup in the basement of a sawmill in Lewiston Idaho. Many years later I worked as a water and wastewater operator. The wastewater side sucked but was better than sawmill cleanup.
I bucked haybails as a kid, did some roofing, and awful fiberglass work thrown in there. For years i worked underground as a hardrock miner. A good deal of it in awful dangerous ground alone in complete darkeness in small spaces. Some of it was in larger workings but it varied from time to tjme. Some locatikns i worked were actually cold or moderate in temp but ive been in places where the rock temp is 130-140* and 90% humidity. They piped or ventilated chilled air to those work places so you would be able tonwithstand working there. Not a very good job
For me law enforcement, luckily I am at the end of my career. Currently, only about 2/3 of the public likes us, but that is situation dependent. Make a what is deemed a bad decision my options are, death, administrative firing, indictment/prison and last civil judgments. Recruiting is nil and people are leaving to do safer jobs if they can. We just lost a guy with 18 years on that left to become a plumber! Your 911 response will be worse and worse, so just try to hold on and, good luck !
They guy that pumps grease traps has it pretty bad
Worse than septic tanks?

Ever smelled a dead human? Septic tanks are appetite building by comparison.
Two of my brothers are retired cops. They tell some horrible dead body stories. One old guy died on his kitchen floor in the middle of summer. Neighbors complained of a bad smell and said they had not seen him in about 2 weeks. My little brother goes for a wellness check....gets to the front door and the smell hits him like a punch in the face. Flies are packed all around the cracks of the front door. He covers his face and opens the door. An ocean of maggots are crawlng from the kitchen onto the living room carpet. He looks on the kitchen floor and this old guy was melting juices in a pool around his undulating corpse. Maggots pouring from his eyes, nose and mouth. My brother ran from the house gagging from the stench. Had to race home, shower are change clothes. Horrible. Says he still gets gaggy thinking about it.

Dayuumm. That makes my getting a dead possum out from under nanna's house story sound so weak. I guess the folks that retrieve whats left wear respirator suits?
Took some metal to the scrap yard once. It was July with Georgias heat and humidity. There was a guy in a firesuit and helmet out in the middle of the yard cutting up old vehicle frames with a torch. Had to suck.

Ok. I got nothing to beat this.
There's people who's business it is to clean that up. The stories about truckers that die in their sleeper in the summer, and companies trying to salvage the truck afterwards are legendary.
I gotta go with waste water treatment plants. Can't think of a much worse place to work than a place that you have to take shots for Hepatitis and what the hell ever other diseases just to work there. Spent a week several years ago at Council Bluffs sitting on a Bosuns chair with 2 chain falls hook to hook for access to weld on the rakes. My feet were literally dangling in the schitt water. That was my one and only schitt plant job.
Next would be the guy that cleans the Johnny on the spots.
