We all have those jobs we're ashamed to admit having worked. What was yours and why do you think that way?

I would say without a doubt, call center. Retail was bad, but call center will just kill your soul without mercy.

Worst job I ever worked was as a seasonal laborer for a city. It wasn't the hours or pay or even most of the job, it was just being exposed to how disgusting people can be with public restrooms.

I could say the same thing about retail. I've spent nearly 20 years working in retail and let me tell you, you'll definitely wonder about some people.

I'll have to agree with you. I've had to clean some public restrooms during my time working in retail. It does make you wonder about some people if that's what they do when they go out in public.

True, but depending on your job you might be able to slip away to some other part of the store to de-stress, call center, you're chained to your desk all day :(

I'm normally chained to the registers all day so I can't run off to some other part of the store to de-stress unfortunately. When you're chained to the register, you're the first person they see when they come in and the last person they see on their way out so you get everything. The people on the floor have a 50/50 shot of not dealing with someone.

I've heard horror stories about call centers. I even bumped into a lady at the grocery store one day that told me to avoid them at all cost.

The worst job I would say I ever worked was when I worked for a short time in a newsagent when I was pregnant with my 1st. The owner and my boss would have me stand around for hours during my shift and even accused me of stealing money at one point.
