    For me it would be working in a mortuary. The thought of being surrounded by a room full of dead bodies (and the possibility that one could come alive) freaks me out no end. The gassy noises they make too would scare the *bleep* out of me. Give me a job working in a rat infested, poo and urine encrusted sewer any day

    Plumber. My hubby was a plumber (before the recession) and the majority of the job sounded quite interesting but one story will always stick with me. They were changing a waste pipe in a hospital and they were told it was clear to cut out a section of the pipe, but someone had made a mistake and the pipe was still 'live'. Basically they cut in to it and when the section fell away a waterfall of piss and sh*t thundered down on top of them.

    Anything repetitive like an assembly line worker, street sweeper, or Irish Independent journalist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 653 ✭✭✭Aphex


    Working in a slaughterhouse or on a farm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Any sort of hard labour!

    As the fella says, "I'm that lazy, if work was in bed I'd sleep on the floor!"

    Fast Food Restaurant.

    I know there's probably much worse jobs, but I just wouldn't be able to work in a chipper.

    I'd rather live in total poverty

    Not even a bum of a sexawamun?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,230 ✭✭✭Merkin


    Anything involving funny smells, dead bodies, pest control or faecal matter. Or inland revenue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    Realistically, there's far more than one job I'd never do. But I'm going to go with telesales, because I've done it before and would never do it again. Would prefer to be a dole scrounger, and I'd really hate to be a dole scrounger.

    I fixed a part of the batter on Motorola phones for a Summer after my leaving and was put sitting beside two people who hated each other and who had been sitting beside each other for 3 years before I started. Hilarious! Job was surprisingly calming.

    A prison screw. With scum of the earth every day

    I always think those kind of jobs (and I've had some awful student jobs) are like the ultimate diagnostic test for ADHD/ADD.

    If you can work an assembly line for more than ten minutes, there's nothing wrong with your concentration. I can see how the repetition is lulling and calming.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman


    A bouncer. They get enough grief from us but I can't imagine the ****e they have to put up with from total and complete scum on a nightly basis. Heard some awful stories of people showing up to a bouncers house and threatening him, all because he kicked a bloke out of a nightclub for trying to steal a handbag.

    How could they come alive exactly???

    Anyway I reckon being a bouncer on he door of a nightclub would be pretty awful, sh!tty unsociable hours, constantly dealing with drunk morons.

    A carer, there is no way in hell I could wipe some old persons ass off them, I would be literally traumatised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭con___manx1


    Could never work in a slaughter house. I reckon people who work in them places for years must go a little crazy.sliting throats and shooting bolts into defenceless animals couldn't be an enjoyable job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,035 ✭✭✭goz83


    Anything poo related, or anything where I was to be around onions. Both would result in projectile vomiting
