Work Sucks

I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More » constant inflamation".... (don't google for pics, it's horrible) I've been thinking about my specialists recommended view. It's indeed as exhausting as top sport, but without the benefits. It's working really really hard, and the only result is .... still being ill. I can't get better. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not really talking about self-pity, but i am saying: being ill, truly is working very hard 24/7, without ANY pay, vacation or pauze, benefits or nice colleagues. Nasty side effects come for free with the medication, puking, nausea, cramps, pain... and those meds even cost ya lots of money. No self esteem either from a job well-done. My work sucks.

I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!

I applied to be a counselor at a church last summer. The application asked what my favorite song was. I put down Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones. Needless to say i didn't get hired.

So ive worked at one of the grocery stores in my city for about 5 years now. last night i had to work midnight shift, 11-730. Well about 1:45 rolls around we are just getting done break, and leaving the lunchroom to go back to work. Being the incredibly smart guy i am, i do a pull up on the door frame. this turned out to bad a bad idea, as it was coverd in dust and as soon as...

Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself....

The lady comes out, signs for the package, & walks back in the house, leaving her pack circling me, snapping at me & growling. I yell out "Ma'am, would you please come get your dogs", to which she replies "Oh, they won't hurt you." It was about this time they got more aggressive & nipped at my legs. Finally after yelling at her that her dogs were starting to bite me, she comes out, tells to dogs to go inside, looks at me & says "Oh you poor frightened boy...you're just not a dog person are you?" Needless to say, anytime someones front door was open after that, I just honked the horn.

I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More » it out, and opens up some program that is similar to PowerPoint (I guess, the XP version?) and tells me that some guy is stealing his credit and plagiarizing the trademark "Civil Rights", which baffled my mind. He wanted me to save a copy of his document, that he opened up on his mind you, so he can sue him for copyright infringement. I just looked at him confused, and literally had to listen to him rant for half an hour (before dumping him onto another associate for another hour) about how he stole his thunder and how computers are confusing. The next day, he calls the store, and begins asking me as to why his keys aren't working, I just let out a sigh and told him to call Compact (basically dumping him onto them). Moral of the story, please learn how to use a computer and don't bring it to a retail store and expect them to fix it.

I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and...

I used to work in the meat dept. of a grocery store, and a woman asked me for 1lb of ground sirloin. My manager came to me later telling me she filed a complaint because i gave her 1.06lbs instead of the requested 1.0lb.

I used to work in a convenience store a few summers ago and there are a lot of bars around it. During the local fringe, this drunk walked in, and puked all over the ATM machine in the store, and people wanted me to clean it. I refused cuz it was a bio-hazard and not a part of my job. One of them knew the manager and called him and handed the phone to me. In the end, I had to clean... Read More » all of the s**t up and felt like throwing-up myself.

I used to work at Cold Stone..

I work at a septic tank company, on a certain day a coworker and I were standing in a lake full of feces shoveling the stuff into suction tubes. My coworker suddenly became aggravated and decided it would be a good idea to throw his shovel down in angst. The feces proceeded to splash off the shovel and fly into my face and mouth. Needless to say it was a shitty day at work.

I work at a amusement theme park as a children's ride operator. I was operating the children's bumper cars when I was approached by a really pissed off parent. He was telling me that his daughters car was broken and that it was a waste of time lining up and unless she gets another ride there would be hell to pay. Looking over to his child it turns out she didn't even have her... Read More » hands on the steering wheel and was fine with ramming the corner.

I'm overweight (hit it, comment section), and sometimes at work I'll hear kids whisper, "She's fat, Mommy" or some variant. I usually ignore them as the embarrassed parent hushes the kid. (I don't care. I'm well aware of my fatass). One day, a boy excitedly grabbed his dad and said, "She's got a baby in her pants!" I burst out laughing and decided that it was definitely time for...

I'm a rather small girl weighing in at only 100lbs and I was working at a college town pub. One night a douche randomly started freaking out and decided to use my face as a punching bag breaking my nose. My employer still made me come in to work the next day.

I work as a dishwasher/bus boy at a breakfast place. One day I was clearing dishes and this lady came up to me started yelling at me, saying that the dishwasher should be fired and that he is doing a shitty job because there was little mark on her cup (this mark was from a scratch that you can't get off). Now I wear an apron while working so its obvious that I'm the dishwasher.... Read More » Later on this lady ordered a milk shake and lucky her I'm the one who makes the milkshakes. I gave her the cup that fell behind the freezer (Which is never cleaned and is caked with rotten egg yolk, dried milk and basically anything that could fall behind there). Paybacks a bitch.

For the past 6 months I have been working as a clerk in a gas station. And for the past 6 months I have been slowly contemplating quitting. One night a Hispanic man absolutely demolished our the restroom. I walked in to discover our bathroom had been turned into a scale model of hiroshima. Shit had literally hit the fan. My manager said I needed to clean it up so I took a 15min...

Do you know how pathetic it feels to be cleaning up the mess of a grown mexican man? I quit 3 hours into my shift.

i work at a motorcycle shop and i was helping this guy buy a helmet and i casually mentioned that i'd recommend purchasing gloves too, as road rash can be killer on hands. He held his hands up to show me he was already missing two fingers. i just smiled and said.....so you know,then.

I work at a very horrible call center in Canada 8 and a half hours out of my day. We are constantly bombarded with orders for bowling balls, shitty kitchen drapery, shopping channel orders and, the ones that take the cake, male enhancement calls. These vary from increasing your size with "cages" and pills, making you last longer and even making your load taste like a fruit salad.... Read More » Want to know how I deal with this?

I worked delivery for a Quiznos that was pretty far from my known area of town. I broke probably at least 20 traffic laws trying to find all the places I had to deliver to and getting lost. including driving on the wrong side of the road on a 4 lane boulevard. Well the summer was especially hot and I had to wear black pants and T shirt. I got really high before work one day and... Read More » after stressing late deliveries and generally sweating my balls off, I took a quick break by sneaking off to chill in the freezer. Needless to say my high ass passed out only to be woken up, half frozen, 10 minutes later by my boss who threatened to fire me. I quit the next day.

I work for a major cellphone provider with an old woman who has been with the company for 10+ years. Today I went to clear the history on the communal computers since she doesn't know how to do it and refuses to learn. Some of her searches? Cats and Tapeworms.
