What job would you hate the most? and why?

I agree with dentist/medical - think I could do the undertaker/embalmed jobs. There something about them already being dead that I wouldn't mind - go in, do the job, go home. I mean if you are a doctor and you can't save someone's life then that will stick with you, if you are an undertaker/embalmed you just going in and do a good job and go on home no worse off than you were when you came in

A podiatrist for elderly/diabetic patients. The thought of having to handle and treat decomposing feet and grotesque toenails would give me nightmares 🤮

A chef would be horrible also. I adore cooking but I'd hate to work in such a high pressure environment. I watched a really good movie on Netflix recently called Boiling Point starring the excellent Stephen Graham as a stressed head chef. I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested to know what many chefs/kitchen staff have to go through.

A teacher, a Gard, anything to do with security or a Community Service supervisor would also be a nightmare. I believe you need a certain type of tough personality for those jobs. I certainly don't have that personality. After one day of having to deal with sneering bullies and entitled nasty scrotes I would be wanting to top myself.

I pretty much agree with everything you said

I'm not squeamish or mentally weak, but jaysus, I know myself. I'd be destroyed if a kid was involved. Couldn't get over that. Once I'd be done.

Office job, meh. I prefer to work from home. Get more done. I look at my pay compared to my future wife's pay. Makes no sense to me. I make money for the company, they do something important and are paid crap.

Any job where you have to deal with old people.

My last job we had a lot of elderly customers and they were the most miserable, entitled, grumpy pain in the arse whingebags. They talk about young people having no respect - they have no qualms with being rude, way more than any other category of person i dealt with. I know being old must suck but that doesn't give you the right to be abusive and make everyone else miserable, we're all just trying to get through the day. And I'm not a teenager I'm in my 30s.

I was required to kiss their arse and treat them like royalty and it was still never good enough. They get confused and angry at the drop of a hat and of course management blame the employee then if aul Seamus took the hump and didn't buy anything. Especially the men of the older generation are so disrespectful to workers at times, the amount of times they would come into buy something then they act like you're trying to rob them when you give them the price of anything even though many of them have plenty of dosh. Another common thing is just grunting or ignoring you completely.

Had to leave it finally as I was literally hoping for another pandemic to wipe the whole lot of them out for good. I swear to God I will never be like that in my later years.

Loved dealing with older people. Just need to know how to deal with them. "Go away with yourself young one. We'll sort it out" done!

Gees are great.

You wish loser. You're not even a 3

I posted in another thread a long time ago about a man who would come into a pub I worked in . I got on well with him ,but still knew when to back off. He was a trauma surgeon. Pressure !!!

Secondary teaching. More and more young people being reared by iPads and YouTube.

Give it another 5 years and you haven't a prayer of capturing a 13 year old's attention with a whiteboard and a few markers.

I'm amazed care assistants haven't been mentioned yet. The pay is barely more than minimum wage if you're lucky, and I can scarcely imagine the emotional toll of getting to know so many residents only for them to die...and that was before Covid.

And don't get me started on the gross parts of the job, or travelling care assistants. I had to help a relative fill out mileage sheets every month, and off the top of my head, maybe half of the days involved over 200km of driving.

A nurse in a hospice or childrens hospital. Dont no how they do it. You would realy need to be very mentally strong to be dealing with sick or dying kids on a daily basis. I have the highest admiration and respect for those nurses all the same.

Yeah, the nursing home carers / staff see off literally hundreds of people over their career if it’s anyway long.

im sure there is some degree of sadness at the time but I imagine it doesn’t stay all that long… there will be somebody else occupying the clients room / bed in no time…. They have to get on helping them.

A friends wife works in a care home on the front desk. She was saying it pretty strange how fast you get accustomed to the conveyor belt of one out, one in… and seeing sadness, despair… chatting with a well enough client of a Monday and by Friday they are in the morgue.
