Anything to do with touching other people - nursing, chiropodist, hairdresser......

Gindrinker43 · 27/09/2020 20:09

anything involving waitressing, unless customers were happy to regularly wear their food.

Laiste · 27/09/2020 20:10

Anything to do with teeth or feet

FatGirlShrinking · 27/09/2020 20:10

Anything with kids. I'm the fun adult in a group of kids for about 45 mins then I start thinking of imaginative ways to hurt myself as an excuse to find somewhere quiet.

LaMarschallin · 27/09/2020 20:10

Being a drinking-straw tester

DelurkingAJ · 27/09/2020 20:11

Anything requiring coordination.

Sales. I just find it so cringey!

Premiumbond · 27/09/2020 20:12

Selling anything.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/09/2020 20:13

@DrDreReturns oh, snap. I speak from being the child of two teachers. I always assumed it was normal to loathe your job.

Fitness instructor

EarlLeighIndamornin · 27/09/2020 20:14

A lawyer.

Because I can’t imagine being so willingly obstructive and bloody minded.

AgeLikeWine · 27/09/2020 20:15

Teacher.

I wasn’t particularly keen on children even when I was one myself, so the thought of having to spend all day every day with the little darlings sounds horrendous. I wouldn’t mind their holiday entitlement, though.

Pqri · 27/09/2020 20:15

Anything customer facing, I work pretty much alone for most of the time apart from occasional catch-up calls with boss, and I love that! I'd fail at anything that required lots of interaction with people!

Cheesypea · 27/09/2020 20:15

Journalism. Writing to short deadlines is my idea of hell.

SpeedofaSloth · 27/09/2020 20:15

Nursing
Sales

BlueJava · 27/09/2020 20:15

Dancing - I'm like an elephant! Sales - just can't spin a line, too honest!

Sparklesocks · 27/09/2020 20:16

Anything mathematical, or having to do anything too technical/practical - even flatpack furniture can be a struggle!

SnugglySnerd · 27/09/2020 20:16

Sales or anything requiring drawing skills e.g. architect.

Fishfingersandwichplease · 27/09/2020 20:16

Care work for old people. Just couldn't do it!!

lioncitygirl · 27/09/2020 20:16

Trader. Surgeon. Nursery teacher.

DrDreReturns · 27/09/2020 20:17

@JesusInTheCabbageVan I did a PGCE but didn't finish the course. I was crap at it!

Lolaloveslemonade · 27/09/2020 20:17

Anything that involves maths, eyes, teeth or money.
