    I've got everyone beat on this one.

    My worst job was working at a baking soda plant. The dust was so bad everyone had to wear breathing protection which periodically had to replaced due to the accumulation of "seepage."

    But that was just one annoyance of the job. My particular job invloved keeping the dust at bey - which meant sweeping the piles of baking soda up into bigger piles then, using a shovel, tossing the baking soda into a chute or wheel barrel to move it to a chute.

    That all doesn't sound so bad until you also add in I worked 12 hour shifts, 6 days per week.

    Bah! Nothing beats working at Pepe's Ducks. I only lasted a week, which to me was too long. The pay was awesome but, I think I ended up with around $600 just for a week!

    But...it's a duck slaughterhouse. I had my hand up freshly dead ducks bums, and I had to pack them as well, they'd be all upside down and wet and featherless, and they'd drop into this big row of basins based on their weight. Then you'd cut off their heads, or leave them attached (peking duck), and tuck their wings in like good little soldiers.

    But the funniest sight there was the mauri dude who got the fun job of slitting their throats after the other guy grabbed them out of the crates and hung them upside down. They'd quack away and spasm and whatnot, then the dude with the knife casual as you like with a grin on his dial and all, just slit em. It came so natural it just look...right?

    But oh, the gutting room! It was like...imagine a sauna...now put the smell of a few thousand freshly dead and de-downed ducks in a small room, giblets in a barrel, guts in a sink...and one particular duck I will NEVER forget as I shoved my rubber gloved hand up its rectum to get to its balls (which for some reason were in their throats...>_>) spewed green ecto-plasm crap all over my arm! I turned to my 1-week work collegue and said "Dude...is this normal? I think this duck might be toxic?" and his reply was "Just hang it back up".

    Worst job in existence next to a Garbo.

    Btw, at christmas, be kind to your garbage boys and put a few cold ones on top of the bin. It really does make their morning.

    I would have to say gutting fish on my uncles boat.... He said I wasn't even getting paid... said it builds character.... when I complained he drove out on th lake and pushed me off the boat and made me swim half a mile before I could get back in... needless to say I'll neverargue with my uncle again

    Mine was working through this flood relief program in PA. We had a nasty flood and so we had to work certain jobs to help clear up the destruction it left behind.

    First place they sent me to was the sewer plant. It had these huge churning vats out outside in the open of ... yea ... doodoo. And one time a pipe busted inside one of the sheds and it was a smell I could never replace as the worst to this day.

    Also down below we had to clean the filter out. And there are two things that get caught in the filter in huge quantities. I don't want to mention it because of the recent warning on adult material. But let's just say one a woman uses on a regular basis and the other is umm... protection...
