Birdman Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I wonder if there would be a worse job on this blessed earth than that of Alarm Cock tester. Imagine being surrounded by that disturbing, cringing alarm tone we all know and hate, for 9 hours a day.There probably isn't such a job because of the clear mental implications it would invariably cause but can you think of a more demoralising and suicidally driven job?(Not Birdman)p.s because I can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I win worst job ever...For six months I spent every day putting polystyrene boxes into bags and taping them shut. I actually quite enjoyed this after a while, I work 300 times faster than anyone else, and the days went by really quick...never got a bit of hassle, and the money was ok for doing something a trained chimp could do. Happy days!I soon became surplus to the companies requirement so found myself out of work for a while, but got a phone call a few months after to come back. Was getting really forward to it, easy life....although I had changed role!!My new job was not to put the boxes into bags, but to print designs on them. So my day consisted of fetching 50 boxes at a time on 'barra' then manually forcing each one down a carousel and through two rolling drums with a load of deadly mechanical tapers and shit threatening to chop off my fingers each time. That went on for 6 months before I had lost 75% of my intelligence, lost the rag with the fat bastard who I worked with who had done the job for 10 years (thus losing 1500% of his intelligence, and he obviously had none in the first place..) so I left a huge backlog of work to build up, and walked out whilst he went to stuff his face on 5 cream buns for breakfast. I hear he went absolutely fucking mental when he got back, just wish I could have been there to see him shit his pants when he realised how much work he would have to do himself :DI then decided to concentrate on inept 303 full time...that paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishbone G Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 working at sainsburys was soul destroying.Sitting on a checkout for 8 hours a day, attempting a smile at customers, constantly asking "do you have a nectar card" "Are you saving your rewards" "would you like cashback".Then being threatened with the boot because i was looking too miserable at the checkout.That was pretty soul destroying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I've always thought the woman that checks peoples students cards at the entrance of the RGU Business School has the worst job ever. She doesn't need to be there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodast Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 i know how you feel i myself have the unfortunate job of working on a checkoutI'm sure that IS pretty boring... but it's so much worse stacking shelves! I mean.. having to actually lift stuff and carry it and all that.. but more annoyingly' date=' [i']constantly having to move out of people's way when they want and them not moving out of the way when you want. And I'm not old enough to work in the alcohol section which is the only place the hotties actually go, so I never even get a distraction like that - only old ladies wanting to know whether we have any more carpet cleaner. Superlame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superlame. No chance!On my last day at sainsburys they didnt let me on checkouts (they dont trust you! haha) - So i had the best day i had ever had there, stacking shelves! Almost made me want to stay (although the reason i was leaving was they wouldnt let me do another job there)Either way, me and another dude had to cope with putting new cartons of milk on the shelves, and about 6 boxes of the things were defective, as in, when you picked them up, they fell apart in your hands. It was a great laugh, to be honest...At least stacking shelves you can chat to your workmates, or sneak off to the store for a quick skive!
