What would your worst job be?

I don't mean practically impossible things like flying an aroplane, but things that ordinary people do with enjoyment.
Mine would be taking in ironing, and dog walking.
What would yours be?

Definitely anything to do with children (I was a teacher for a while - worst job in the world. I wanted to kill all the kids).

Alpacajigsaw · 18/12/2025 13:20

Yeah dog walking or anything else having to deal with shit would be bad

Anything to do with children.

I wouldn't mind working in a nursery, but would find it impossible to be a secondary school teacher.

Secondary school teacher - I’ve loved teaching adults throughout my working life but the idea of secondary school teaching sends shivers up my spine.

I have a lot of admiration for teachers working in compulsory education.

The teenagers are bad enough but nowadays the entitled parents are vile. Attacks from the media and politicians degrade the profession. Oh, and phones and AI just make a difficult job so much harder.

I was a secondary school teacher. The thought of primary age fills me with horror 😅

I couldn’t work in a nursery with small children. They are just like germ machines.

Barrister. Could not defend sex offenders and other monsters

womananddog · 18/12/2025 14:06

Podiatrist, chiropodist, reflexologist or sales assistant in a shoe shop - basically anything involving feet

FestiveFruitloop · 18/12/2025 14:07

Anything that involves cleaning up shit.

Laiste · 18/12/2025 14:11

can't deal with:
Bodily fluids from people or animals.

Feet.

Teeth.

Dealing with bad mental illness. (sorry about this one)

Being out in the cold and rain.

Aposterhasnoname · 18/12/2025 14:11

Anything involving dealing with the public, I wouldn't last a week.

Meadowfinch · 18/12/2025 14:12

Something to do with stage performances. I can't think of much worse.

After home schooling during covid, teaching would be up there too.

I far prefer being given a specific problem to solve, and being left to it.

DarkEyedSailor · 18/12/2025 14:13

Office of any description.

That is the whole pint of the law fgS
I am glad you are not on a jury with me as a defendant as you have already decided guilt and not heard a word of evidence
I prefer trial with no jury

QueenOfToast · 18/12/2025 14:19

Chef or working in a kitchen is my nightmare job. The heat, the pressure, the hours, plus I hate cooking!

Gardener82 · 18/12/2025 14:23

I have the weakest stomach in the world so any job that requires me to deal with poo or sick id find horrendous.
Unless it’s a baby, that doesn’t bother me.
I also find the idea of driving a train or flying a plane terrifying.

Helpel · 18/12/2025 14:25

Nursery worker, care home worker, nurse, anything outdoors in this country in the winter, shop assistant in a quiet shop, police officer, repetitive factory/warehouse work

prampushingdownthehighst · 18/12/2025 14:25

Anything involving certain death
Either human or animal

VeryQuaintIrene · 18/12/2025 14:26

Busdriver - I'd be a total menace, given my horrible spatial awareness. I might be OK with a train, given that it's on rails...

Unescorted · 18/12/2025 14:29

Dentist. Manky teeth, spit, blood, needles and stinky breath

Anything to do with children.

I don't know about worst but id hate to work in a nursery. Being paid so badly to do it would really bother me as well.

PigeonsandSquirrels · 18/12/2025 14:41

I mean the obvious - abattoir. Followed by surgery or dental work. I can’t stand blood.

Care work… seems really hard work for shit wages.

STI clinic - swabbing people’s diseased genitals doesn’t appeal to me.

Anything that required me to go underground.
