When I arrived in England in 2001, I had a few months to kill before starting my job
I was staying with family in Stamford, Lincs and was "coaxed" into going to the Job Centre to find something to tide me over until December.

Alas, I ended up working at Geo Adams, pork product at the food processing plant in Spalding.
The stench of pig blood was pungent and I was a white coat, rubber boot, hair net wearing skivvy on a pork pie plant
The work was tedious and the fat from the pork pies was like half an inch thick on the floor.
Also most of the permanent and agency staff were as thick as freakin' bricks and it was hard to hold a conversation with them.. inbreeding?

I lasted two weeks and decided I'd rather be unemployed and dignified...

That's where I rolled the pigs in blankets. I managed a fortnight too, I could deal with the smell and grease, it was the locals that frightened me! I have never eaten a geo Adams product since and that was 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!!

I worked in the kitchen at the local mental hospital when I was about 17

It was generally sh*te as kitchen jobs tend to be

We used to have our lunch with the patients, which was sometimes entertaining

The highlight of my time there was coming into work one morning to be greeted by an elderly gentleman taking a p*ss in the hallway...

My first proper job was pretty crap as well. Another kitchen job. Fresh out of school at 16 and I was paid the princely sum of £200 per month for a 60 hour week.

I should point out that I don't work in a kitchen now

:shock: Jeebuz, I look a right state in overalls! Not a good look.

Rule no.1. Never, ever, watch yourself on TV.

After failing Uni I had a succession of mind numbingly bad jobs, one after another.

First was grading chicken breeding stock. This job required the ability to get up at 4 am, drive to a strange part of the country in a knackered transit, enter a 'free range' farm shed containing about 3000 chickens, fence a bit off, let the chickens through one at a time, checking them for 'abnormalities', taking blood samples and wringing the neck of anything that didn't meet standards. I lasted 2 weeks

Bottling Milk. You may think that when you see shiney bottling equipment on the TV it's a nice, clean, easy job. It's not. The place stinks of cheese, the plastic bottles regularly jam, lids don't get put on properly (or picked up off the floor and just pushed on) and it's about 4 degrees centigrade, all the bottles are also put in the lovely metal cages by had. Imagine lifting 20,000 plastic 4 pint bottles. Or you could go upstairs and load the plastic bottles on the conveyor line 500 at a time. Lasted 4 weeks, as when some chump (not me) put the wrong sticker reel on a line we had to spend another 8 hours reloading a supermarket delivery. We were not paid.

Making battery chargers. I spent 18 months making the transformers for mobile phone chargers, which then went onto a production line to be put together. Mind numbingly boring, but I could finish a days quota in under 4 hours, so the rest was a bonus earning. Bad points were that it paid about £120 per week basic and my colleagues were the type that thought Essex FM was funny.

Technical Officer at local Council. 2 years investigating blocked drains, bad kitchens, dog s*it and doing all the things the EHOs on the TV never actually do. Their 'caseload' was three visits a day, mine was always over 25.

Fish factories, worst places ever.

Almost everyone else hails from the USSR so not much to talk about. Standing on a line either sticking labels on packet after packet or slapping pieces of fish onto cardboard so it looks nice... Not many people washed their hands after the toilet in that place.

But, best job ever, beach comber. Spent the summer walking around in the sun guiding a machine operator to go clean one bit or other & burying the occasional dead animal.

Working in a supermarket. It is just a plain cr4p job, people treat you like cr4p, managers treat you like cr4p, under staffed, boring as hell, everything is cr4p. Never knew how weird and wonderful the general public were till i got my job, for example someone actually took a dump in the store the other week :shock: . Can not wait to get out of there now

I currently work in a supermarket

worst job I've had: worked in a pickle factory

worked in a pickle factory for around 8 weeks before I fell out with my agency thankfully they went bust like a month later. where shall I start firstly I was the only English person on my entire shift besides my manager who was Scottish and a right cunt. my job was the quality control pickle and mix dried pickles together. ended up elbow deep in pickles and vinegar mixing the pickle and checking the quality only good thing is that everyone on my shift besides 2 were women all polish and eastern European but they were really good looking shame they couldn't speak any english

Ha ha, I did too

"Most" are like that? Seriously? :shock:

That's crazy, I'm genuinely shocked!
I know tons of people living in council accommodation, and only one of them is a heroin addict. I hadn't realised it was that big a problem.

Yeh its quite bad in chesterfield.

We do clear and store clean properties aswell.

One house we did this bloke kept having a sh*t on sofa and just put cushion back on top of it.

Another we cleared the tenant basically painted all the walls in his crap.

Yep, I'd at least wipe my aris on the curtains as well.

Yup some right nutters.

I dont mind it pays the bills. Lol

I think theres 5 evictions this week. So we will see what sh*t holes we have.

Worst was when a guy had died and they found him a few weeks later. There was flies like aeroplanes.
