    ok I'm in no doubt that I'll get a good bashing for this one... but here goes.... :D (and yeah i know its a recession and we shouldn't be snobbish blah blah blah )

    what jobs would you not do? there has to be something that you'd really never consider doing....

    I'm sure for some people its for moral reasons like 'oh i'd never go on the game'..... but for me, (and I'm being honest-stating my opinion so no slating me for that) I wouldn't empty the sanitary waste disposal bins in the ladies.... I wouldn't work as a cloakroom attendant... hmmmm im sure there are more.....

    I'd do anything. . . Anything at all except this one thing. And I absolutely throw my hat off to anyone, male or female, who does it. . . . but you know those companies that do the sanitary disposal bins in female toilets? Well I just couldn't. not for all the money in the world. Fair dues to them cause I wouldn't be able for it.

    i wouldn't clean an office.. simply because if i'm cleaning an office, i've lost my job in an office and it would be a constant reminder.

    i'd do anythin else tho

    I don't know what the title of the job is but I spoke to someone that does it.

    The job is cleaning up a man/woman whom has just been put to death in the electric chair.
    Beforehand this worker is part of a security team that straps on an adult size nappy to the person soon to be executed. With the voltage of electric current flowing through them. the nerve muscles apparently just break down/burn out and the victim craps & wets themselves.
    The same person that put the nappy on, usually has to deal with removing it and helping with the clean up.

    Naaa, I couldn't do it - no way.

    I wouldn't empty the sanitary waste disposal bins in the ladies.

    I tried to do this once, wasn't even working for rent-o-kill.
    Worked in mickey D's during college, was asked to clean the bathrooms. Up I ran, scrubbed, had em sparkling all while humming "I'm lovin' it" to myself.

    Into the ladies jacks and i noticed the sanitary towel bin could do with emptying. Being a complete moron I think its up to me to do it. Cue me taking to top off and, unable to get the bag out, trying to tip the contents into another plastic bag.
    The smell was unmercifully bad. Luckily I decided it wasn't going to work, gave up before a load of panty waste fell on me and went to ask my manager how to empty the sanitary towel bin, i tried but failed. She tried to stop herself from laughing as she explained there's a special company who comes and deals with that.

    So....I wouldn't empty anitary towel bins for a living and i wouldnt be a bathroom attendant.

    Mortician?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,647 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    When you are despirate enough, when all your other options are gone you WILL do any job and being a bathroom attendant/cleaner is very very far from the bottom of the pile of demeaning occupations.

    For me the job I would hate most would be to be a soldier. Sorry Mairt, respect and all that to ye, but it's not for me.:)

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    I would prefer soldier over cleaning sanitary towel bins any day. I'm sure I can find something a bit more convenient though.
    Coulndn't work in McDonald's or anywhere like that. Not so much serving food as puttin up with drunkin eejits every night!

    Would never do it. Hate them f*ckers!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Mortician?

    Its either that or something similar because the person also deals with the soon to be executed in a number of ways, beforehand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭taram


    Cleaning toilets that involve drunk people, cutting the balls or tails off pigs without antistetic. Would be happy to be a mortician, at least it's regular work :P

    Jizz mopper.

    +1

    Was in Amsterdam many years ago and went into a peep show. It was a cabin with 10 booths around it and it was a guilder for a minute or 2 to view a foxy lass on a rotating bed pleasuring herself. There was only 1 free booth so I went in and my mate waited outside. All the windows are frosted so you can't see the other people but you can make out their silhouettes if they are up close to the glass. Unfortunately for me, the lad directly opposite was right up against the window beating one off, totally ruined my first ever peep show experience. With the time up I left so that my mate could go in and watch the show but before some other lad jumped in. One of the other booths became free and my mate went over only to quickly return saying that there was jizz all over it. Shortly afterwards the jizz mopper arrived with his bucket and mop to clean it up. Poor fecker, hope the ladies tip him for his service, otherwise that must be one of the worse jobs ever.

    Where do they advertise such jobs?

    I can't think of any regular paying jobs I wouldn't do once the mortgage is paid.

    Fluffer wouldn't be so bad.I'd be working with a lot of pricks.....which is the same as a government job.

    I worked for a "Marketing" company once while on school holidays, I thought from the advertisement that i'd be doing some sort of telesales or the like, the day I went in I was handed a black gym bag full of cheap dodgy crap and sent out to Malahide on a bus with about 4 other people to walk around an industrial estate trying to sell this cheap sh1t to people on their lunchbreaks in all the factories.. Never again.. Worst. Job. Ever.. Think they were called 'Volcara' or something like that, had offices above Chadwicks on Caple Street.. And they had people doing it all the time cause the day I was there, when we went back to the office some guy came racing in and started ringing this big bell that was mounted on the wall and telling us all how he "reached his target sales" think he'd pocketed about £50 or something for a days slog.. They seemed to have their regular 'employees' brainwashed into thinking this was the best job ever..

    BTW the stuff in question was a £5 Fony walkman, only the best.. and some crappy kids books among others from what I can remember.. think there was a little torch aswel..
