Universally detestable occupations

Metermaid, parking gestapo, etc.

Telemarketers, door to door salespeople, etc.

Creditors, bounty hunters, towtruck operators, repo men, etc.

The IRS.

I've always wondered the reasons (besides the money) why people go into occupations like these where they will be universally disliked. Anyone here employed in these occupations or wants to shed any light on this subject?

Oh, and I no longer detest creditors. I wouldn't say they are my best friends, but we finally have a functional working relationship

What about the guy who has to collect semen from zoo animals every morning?

You forgot that guy who hands you your order at the drive in window. He always sucks. They should fire him.

Who ever works in a mayonaise factory. It is gross enough to slop mayo from a five-gallon bucket into tuna salad mix, but to have to be around it all day--eeeew.

('_')

Living and working are two different things. It would be rad to live in a factory.

Unless you are still operating it to make extra cash. Well, no, that would be rad too.

It would be far more gross to live in a lake of mayo, but that is for some other thread.

POOPSMITH!!!

Heroin mule.

I used to telemarket, but they fired me after a week because I kept lying to customers by making outlandish promises and telling them there was no obligation. Apparently I was too evil.

you do not talk about whip club.


...hm. detestable to me, i think, means anything that involves an unfavorable balance of power

About fifteen years ago I worked as a dj/barback/dirty work guy at a strip joint out by the airport.

One miserable night I got instructed to mop up some vomit in the mens room. Someone had gotten really sick, really suddenly.

I'd been pretty over the job for some time already, but I dutifully went through the disgusting task of mopping up the puke. While I was doing it a customer entered the bathroom and reacted with disgust.

He started to wash his hands while I continued cleaning and bitching. Finally, having heard my curses and complaints loud and clear he asked me in all sincerity, "Why don't you get another job?"

It was one of those moments that one waits years for. I repressed my smirk, stopped mopping and looked him straight in the eyes.

"What?" I asked. "And give up Show Business?"

jizz mopper!

Crack whore.

The Century Lounge?

how bout those poor guys that clean the construction site porta-lets? that must be one of the worst jobs, i hope they get payed more then basketball players!

Someone who works for the diaper-cleaning companies. You know, you give them poopy diapers and they give you clean ones, but you never think--what happens to the poop?

that is truely a disturbing thought!!!!

i deliver blood, piss, defective cootchie, and shit samples. isnt that a yummy job?

Once while working construction the pump truck came to pump out a septic tank that needed to be removed. The pump got jammed and the second guy in the truck had to climb down and free up the pump to get it working again.
As much as I hate my job now, I'm not doing that. I know that has to get done, but, poor bastard.
Second worse job? One of those decoys that P.I. use to entrap unsuspecting husbands into cheating on their wives and getting pics of the action. It just seems pretty low.

assistant crack whore.

Long live Norm MacDonald

Do you guys have a deal where if I don't get my shit samples in 30 minutes or less, they're free?

Dammit, I hate telemarketers.

Telemarketer: Hello is Mr. Morgan there?
Me:No
Telemarketer: oh well can you tell them verizon called. Me:Yeah jack-off I am looking for a pen right now, so I can jab it in persons eye who came up with the idea of telemarketers.

Leave me the hell alone. I hate you phone, I hate you telemarketer.
