BIGLURKS 874 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 The worst/best job I ever done was working on a scallop trawler all round the Irish Sea and North Sea you would work for 20 hours a day and get 4 hours a day too eat and sleep for 4 days straight till you got 4 hours sleep heading back too a harbour too then unload 600 bags all weighing about 35kg each in about an hour was a f***ing nightmare of a job u would be sleeping and still working at the same time it took u too complete exhoustion and beyond then as uve landed you would get about £700 in cash put in your hand and spend the next 3 days getting pissed in every pup you could find shagging every dirty slut or any women willing too open her legs wich generally ended up in fights for shagging some one else's girlfriend or having a full on riot in some small town with 20 folk trying too kill you and the crew they were the good old days even mind going threw the canal in the old rust buckets drinking in every pub along the canal you could find another bad one I done at a time I was up in cairns Australia was working in a fruit juicing plant you would stand next too a bin lifter racking bananas apples organges on to a converarr with the steamer just below you working 12 hour shifts you would sweat so much we used too have too rub vasalene all over your balls ass crack and thighs just too stop the chaffing and god it was stinking some of the fruit you see going into the juice puts you of it for life loads others I've done as well just can't mind them all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RemyBolt 420 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have had some rubbish jobs, but I always used to have fun with them. For example, at a chem factory, I used to draw funny patterns on my clothing in bleach and tell the boss the bleach had splashed in that smiley face pattern...totally by accident. I would put bottles on the conveyor belt the wrong way too, so that I could get extra time off, when the machine screwed up haha. Got fired from McDonalds on my first day. The customer said they wanted a BigMac meal. I asked what drink. They guy said "I don't care mate. Surprise me." So simultaneously shouted "BOO" as I lunged forward at him. How was I supposed to know he had a dodgy heart? He laughed, but his wife complained and I was told to go home, and not worry about coming back tomorrow. I did get a free McDonalds lunch from them....so who got the last laugh really?! That'll show them! Did security work for a while. That was hysterical! For minimum wage, did they really expect me to stop anyone from stealing? I'm not getting a blackeye over a tin of beans! Screw that. Pay me more and I'll take more risks. For minimum wage, you get minimum effort. Everytime a manager told me off...well, needless to say, there was less effort put in on my behalf. I once leaned in and told a guy, "I know you have vodka up your shirt. I'd suggest putting it back and coming back in 4 hours when I finish my shift." That was a lot of effort to do that, so I naturally had to take a 2 hour lunch break! Obviously. Working with a couple of Kurdish guys at ParcelForce loading and unloading lorries, at the night shift, was harsh. But it was good to learn Kurdish and be able to chat with them in their language. The things they used to say about the boss were hysterical! Propper laugh. Boring job, back breaking effort, but highly educational on Kurdistan. Other than that...not sure really. Just general low paid boring jobs that you just have to make fun of. You want a job? You sound like a great employee Haha, good answer. Thankfully these were just temp jobs when back from uni during the summer holidays. If you're predicted a First in Business Management, and are doing a temp job that sucks, you'd probably just have as much fun as possible too. I now run my own business part time, and work fulltime in a major insurance company helping develop the client base to companies like Google, Barclays, Santander, and many others. They offered me a good wage, and training to help me build my own business, I work my socks off for them. At the moment I'm training 3 new division staff members for the new product we're releasing, developing the computer system, and increasing sales by 15% (my target, but I'm pushing above target at the moment). If you want to offer me a job, it needs to be a damn good offer haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
