What job would you hate the most? and why?

A good friend of mine would be one of those "compo claims" you're referring to. Got thrown down a stairs by a scumbag with a rap sheet as long as your arm, suffered permanent nerve damage. Hasn't been able to work since. Can't drive, can't play football with his nieces and nephews, has days when he can't get out of bed due to chronic pain. Of course the scumbag is walking free due to whatever bs about his "troubled childhood" his lawyer sold the court.

Actually, there's another job I couldn't do: barrister. It takes a degree of amorality I don't suffer from to be able to defend people in court (often in the full knowledge that they're likely to reoffend the minute you get them off with a slap on the wrists). The legal types make all sorts of noble arguments about it being the prosecutors job to secure the conviction, everyone deserving a defence etc but let's face it, all they really care about is getting paid. I couldn't live with myself if I knew people were likely to suffer as a result of me using some loophole or exploiting a judge's known softness for a sob story.

I know very few people who were able to work those shifts (which are actually 13 hour shifts as don't get lunch or tea breaks included) and then look after a family and have any decent time off AND do agency on top!

Thats a myth.. Only people who do that or can do that, without making themselves ill, would be young single people, and usually its a limited time thing saving for a big holiday or something.

Those shifts are a killer once you hit 40s with schoolage children.

Most nurses try to get reduced hours or mon to fri jobs at that stage.. Its just too hard. And unless your partner or family can row in with the childminding its too expensive.

I know some staff who worked constant night duty with partners on opposite weeks almost so they could manage..

Anything involving sitting at a desk looking at a computer all day. Hell.

I read the thread title and immediately googled for "Derek and Clive lobsters". Shows my age because I can remember when it first came out.

Chiropodist. I can just about handle my own feet, the thought of handling some of the crusty hobbit feet out there, dealing with bunions, corns and cheesey ingrown toe nails.🤮🤮🤮🤮

I'd agree with both but funnily enough I don't have a problem with dealing with septic tanks and foul water systems. Roding a blocked foul drain doesn't bother me at all but picking through rubbish would make me puke fairly quickly.

I started watching The Bear yesterday evening. I'm already six episodes in to it 😁 Some of the kitchen scenes are so chaotic that I expected Gordon Ramsay to come in at one stage and start ranting his head off.

I couldn't be a gp. Must be most disgusting job in the world. I'd nope out immediately when someone shows up with some kind of sore or rash.

I would hate to be the guy whose job it is to turn the roadworks sign from green to red to green, stop to go to stop, all day long. I'm sure they rotate and do other jobs but even for one day it would wreck my head.

Best job in the world. My GP schedules all his appointments Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Anything on Monday or Friday is emergency only. He plays golf at 11 o clock every Friday so if you have an emergency have it before he leaves at 10. I’ve played golf with him a number of times and he admitted one day that the medical cards have more or less killed any passion he had for the job. People coming in and taking appointments for absolutely no other reason than because they aren’t paying for them. At the time, 70% of his patients were medical card holders. It may have killed his passion for the job but the money he’s making every year solely on the medical cards makes up for it I’m sure.

"Professional office job" is waaaay too vague to make such a sweeping statement, firstly, many (probably the majority) of office jobs allow for casual clothes, hoodies, t-shirts etc, unless you're customer facing. Secondly, that job could be nearly anything from a rocket design engineer who is in the office all day to a receptionist at a small accounting firm in the local small town.

Im assuming you're talking about the latter, or something closer to the latter.

Overall I think I would agree with you if you were more specific.

Probably not the whole abattoir but definitely the shooting box. Have experience of around 8 or 9 factories and lads enjoyed killing a little too much in my experience
