List your worst days on the job. VENT VENT VENT!!!
02 November 2007, 06:28 UTC#2
I love my job. Every second of it. No joke.
02 November 2007, 06:30 UTC#3
But what about TIMS? I'm talking past and present jobs.
02 November 2007, 06:32 UTC#4
Oh man, every day was the worst day of my life there. Fucking old people piss me off so bad sometimes. They always bitched if they didn't get their Senior Discount. And then, if I gave it to them without them asking, they got pissed that I just assumed they were old enough to qualify for it. FUCK.
Old people are a big reason why I work with the opposite end of the life cycle.

dealing with kids is always a cunt of a thing.. and meh I used to be a chef working like 70-80 hour weeks for like shitfuckall money.. that sucked.
In retail I've had people threaten to kill me, drunk idiots fucking around, gangster wannabe's trying to steal shit.. all that lame crap.
02 November 2007, 13:51 UTC#9
Hmm, I had some bad times at work. Mostly dealing with wanker customers. But most of the time its great cause I just snap my fingers and 6 huge bouncers do my every bidding.

Guarding Life was pretty ill, except when overweight parents tried to get on my shit because I told them there pool toys were potential heath risks.
One accused me of "wanting her kid to drown", thats when I was like "Your right, you figured me out I sit out here for like 8 hours a day in the sun to make sure you kids drown, I'm a sick freak you right. But either way you need to get that floater out of the pool and get a proper one from front office."
Wal-Mart was pretty ill until the day I got fired, they told me some chick was shopping and they wanted me to sit by her large chest so that I could help carry it out when she was done. 30 mins later after sitting doing nothing the manager calls me back saying they have me on camera not doing shit for 30 mins. I was so pissed and it took me 3 days of bitching and explaining to hear "We don't really even have to give you a reason to fire you the first 90 days of working here, thats why we call it probation."
Fucking cocks.

Dealing with Polish,who don't know what daylight saving is trying to buy alcohol at 9.00am and you cant explain to them its illegal to buy alcohol till 10am because they don't speak fucking English
02 November 2007, 23:26 UTC#12
This one time I.... never had a job.
03 November 2007, 00:18 UTC#13
Health and safety bosses who are anal fucks, won't leave you alone till you've had training in lifting up a cardboard file. Oh and the fucking spanish, they pissed me off at work so much.
03 November 2007, 00:27 UTC#14
Oh I got a bad one,
So I was working one night shift like 1-2 months after I started at Walgreens. The night was going good, then this limo pulls up saying "Just Married" on the back of it it, normal right? Wrong! Who should come into the store but 2 guys, with mini tuxes, speedos, little top hats. I had to double take that one, now I wish I didn't. So they eventually get up to the counter and they placed 3 items on the counter; Condoms, Hot Fudge, and Whipped Cream, as I scanned the items one of them out of nowhere says "We just got married!"
No dipshit I just thought you were gonna take the condoms, fill them with the whipped cream and fudge, and pelt someone with it, then partyboy them to make them feel weird.
One of the managers comes out later and said he was watching on the serveilence unit and was laughing the whole time
Weird night...
03 November 2007, 01:15 UTC#15
I got a 300lb pallot dropped on my foot.
03 November 2007, 03:35 UTC#16
People that always wanted discounts, dude. They could stand there FOR HOURS, trying to get discounts cause I was just a little kid and not a big black guy like the other guys in the shop.
FUCK THEM.
03 November 2007, 03:40 UTC#17
I had a night at abercrombie where this guy came down from the bar at like 2am, when we were almost finished and said he was from corporate. and started telling me how things were not done right and all this shit. only reason I let him talk was because he started naming off document numbers so I knew he was legit. well he started fucking up stacks of clothes and shit for over an hour, which set us back about 4 hours. with 30 people, 4 hours a piece, I ended up using 120 hours over what I was allowed, and got my ass ripped in the morning. so I called HR and told them he came down drunk, in which he was a little, and fucked our store up, and if it happened again I would leave the store and let the associates run it.
next day he was fired and I got an apology note in my mail.
fucker...
03 November 2007, 03:54 UTC#18
I worked for 1880 for about three years,its a service were you call in and you can get telephone numbers or adresses.
One day some old drunk fucker calls inn and demands to get the number of someone who owes him money.he doesnt know his first name only his last name and the fact that he stole his støvler.
So I spend the next half an hour reading up the names of everyone in that city with that last name.
But of course no name is correct,so I spend another one and a half hour reading up every name in the goddamn city and none of the names is the one he wants so suddenly he decides to yell at me for 20 minutes,telling me im lazy and not willing to do my job.
fucking hell.

Sounds like the most soul-sucking monotonous job ever.
Edit - How about this for a bad day at work. I was working at the Home for abused kids the other day, and I had to "contain" one of the kids. He was going crazy, throwing the radio against the wall and cussing and screaming. I had to grab both of his arms and hold him against the wall until he was calmed down and was not a threat. Worst experience of my life, probably. And, to make things worse, I had to fill out like 5 incident reports and papers about it.
03 November 2007, 03:58 UTC#20
Information? I call that shit all the time, mostly get ghetto black bitches that I can't understand. (No offense if your an african amercian woman)

Yeah youre so fucking right, I only worked there part time but I would rather shoot myself in the head than work there full time. no joke
Yeah I can see how the home for abused kids job sucks
My dad works for a home for "problem children" ,kids whose too fucked up on drugs so there sent here to the country to work and get rehabilitated,and he has to deal with that kind of shit all of the time.
Just last week one of the kids beat up an old man and barricaded himself in his garrage with a bat and a knife,sitting there sniffing gasoline.
03 November 2007, 04:12 UTC#22
Yeah, I love my job, though. The best thing I've done in my life. These kids usually aren't violent, they just have severe emotional problems, and it's not their fault. You have to have a lot of patience and be really understanding. Best job I've ever had, though. I don't want to do anything else.

Wow ray, didn't know u were doing that. I could see you being very good at it too. good for you buddy. helping people out in need really makes you feel good honestly. I remember one time at walmart (cville) there were 2 old guys trying to fix an exhaust that had broken and was scraping the ground. I had just got off a shitty day at work, yeah al, I worked at the mart 2, sucks I know, and was wanting to go home and wank it or something. but I sat there watching these 2 guys that had to be 65+ each try to fix this exhaust. so I got out and asked if I could help. the one guy, older of the two, said hes been doing this all my life, hes my son and he wont let me do anything. they were really funny. so I crawled under the car with a cable and tied everything up, took about 45 min to get everything secured. the guys offered me about $40 just for helping, but I refused. I honestly never felt better about myself than when I did that. twas awesome.

I work in a restaurant. I deal with rude, impatient people everyday. however some days I love my job. expecially watching people get tossed out after drinking too much, and how we have fights almost every week. plus some of my managers are laid back and don't care what you do.
03 November 2007, 06:21 UTC#27
Worst experience at a job...
I was a "janitor" at my high school
It was my job to move shit out of the classrooms and then clean the classroom and then move this shit back in.....
The job sucked, but I had 2 moments that made it even worse for me
One time, I picked up a desk with the drawers facing towards me...well, the middle drawer opened up, so I decided to use my PELVIS to shut it, and when I did, my penis got caught in the drawer, and it hurt like a son of a bitch..
That's pretty embarrassing, but I really don't give a shit...
Another bad time, I was cleaning one of the rooms, and we used this extremely slippery shit called "Stripper" and I slipped in it and fell and slammed my head on the floor and got a concussion..
Fun times...

when I was working as a Chef I got boiling oil spilled on my hand, had to work another 5 hours or so with intense burns to my palms. Not fun.
Got bitten by a red back spider while tree lopping, basically chopping tree's and carrying to a truck. Anyway, got bitten by a spider which is considered deadly and got told to walk it off. That sucked badly.
Oh when I was real young I worked at Woolworths supermarkets on the check outs, and I got shit fucking wasted the night before and got knocked unconcious by a mate (wrestling) and had a concusion. I was well fucked up, I was pale as fuck, cold sweats and couldn't see properly.. haha every customer was like "are you ok?" haha that was funny shit.. I was like 14 or something though...
