I would hate to be a baliff.

Teacher. I’m really not that good with or interested in other people’s children. Especially not 30 at once!

AllTheCakes · 28/08/2020 21:38

A carer. I just couldn’t deal with the emotional side.

octopuseyes · 28/08/2020 21:39

Nurse. Was one- left the profession.

RyanBergarasTeeth · 28/08/2020 21:39

Manager. I cant even manage myself.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 28/08/2020 21:40

Sales - I did cold calling once and I wanted to curl up and die

@WomenHour

I would hate to be a baliff.
I'm interested in your reasons?
LioneIRichTea · 28/08/2020 21:41

Teacher. Lawyer. Firefighter.

Kids would walk all over me. Couldn’t represent the guilty. Hate fire.

MillieEpple · 28/08/2020 21:44

Slaughterhouse, sewage person, teacher

IHateCoronavirus · 28/08/2020 21:47

I would hate to empty/clean porta-loos

yeOldeTrout · 28/08/2020 21:47

Executioner sounds like the pits. Especially since traditionally they probably cleaned up all the body parts, too. I'm bad at many things, though.

Reader1984 · 28/08/2020 21:48

Working in a children's hospital. I couldn't cope with the emotion of it all.

chunkyrun · 28/08/2020 21:48

Call centre! Worked in one for two years. Gave me panic attacks it was that bad.

DustyMaiden · 28/08/2020 21:50

Chef

TheCanyon · 28/08/2020 21:50

I'd love to be a bailiff, maybe that's inspired my next career Grin I'd hate to work in sales or marketing

Tomatoesneedtoripen · 28/08/2020 21:51

bar steward, too shy and serious and judgmental

DrMadelineMaxwell · 28/08/2020 21:52

Anything requiring you to sit at your desk and stare at a screen all day.

VaggieMight · 28/08/2020 21:53

Any kind of emergency responder. I'd cry and get shaky voice at most emergencies.

SaltyAndFresh · 28/08/2020 21:57

Anything involving poo. I was a support worker when I was 18 - it was just the push I needed to send me to uni.

mnahmnah · 28/08/2020 22:04

Anything that involves people’s bodily functions. Or animal suffering.

NothingIsGoing2GetBetterItsNot · 28/08/2020 22:05

Cleaning - I have done it but I'm a 100% person (can't pace myself) so just find it back breaking.

Anything solely office-based, couldn't stand just sitting down all day!

EasilyDelighted · 28/08/2020 22:06

Any that required me to permanently and completely work from home.

Brokenfurnitureandroses · 28/08/2020 22:07

Chiropodist. Ugh!

SimonJT · 28/08/2020 22:11

Anything that involved harming animals unless it was needed for their welfare e.g a vet

Sewerage worker, imagine how those fatburgs smell.

Cleaner if it meant cleaning a toilet other people have used.

Healtcare, I’m not a people person and I would have an awful bedside manner. Boyfriend is coming home tomorrow after surgery, poor sod doesn’t know that hes left himself in for.

Driving instructor, people skills and patience, nope!
