That's actually pretty smart. I've done that with cuts on the tip of your finger, otherwise it takes far too long to heal. Now, hospitals do that.

Worst job..... plenty, ethically would be painting a monkey research lab. Sprayed dryfall (type of paint) in a bread factory in 16 hour shifts, and painted a decorative piece of metal that hung about ten feet over a twenty six story building, and the forman was obviously a junky. Nothing like cutting your hands with a grinder while climbing around on beams that are 26 stories in the air while some junky with a mullet yells at you to hurry up.

I don't cut myself often but have used krazy glue for simple cuts. It's totally fine.

Built agricultural silos one summer after first year Uni. You know those huge blue steel silos with white roofs you see on farms in the states? Ya, built them and tore them down. 100ft silo would go up or come down in 3 days. Worked 110 hours in my first week. Not hourly either. Piece work so it was like being in the army. If we were building, I'd go home with black sealant all over you (which was used to seal to steel sheets together), which could only be cleaned with gasoline, so I'd have gas smelling arms and hands. All I could smell at night. Plus lifting 400 pound sheets off the ground or carrying 500 pound jacks in and out of the structure. Or scraping off sealant from sheets. All of which gives you hamburger meat hands and calouses that the gas gets in when you clean off the sealant. Hurts. Also wash the sheets with hydrochloric acid when building.

And the other workers weren't the smartest. One guy flicked a cigarette at another while he was washing with gasoline. Arm went up in flames. Two other guys were playing chicken, throwing metal rods at each others feet. One went straight through the dudes feet just above the steel toe.

Anyways, 15 hour days sometimes, work straight for 2 weeks and then off for 3.

Oh ya and the crew of four people I worked with went through 64 people in a year. People quit fast.

The worst job I ever had...

Used to be a dish washer...

I washed the dishes at a nursing home, and got treated like an annoying piece of rusted taiwanese metal.

Didn't love it..

I washed dishes the summer I turned 16 at a busy Denny's. I didn't have transportation and had to bum rides all the time to get to work, then would finish at 2 or so in the morning and walk to a cousin's house to crash on the floor.

Of course this was when cd's were new and I was cool when I started the new school year with a boombox, a sony discman and a how ever many cd's 3 months of washing dishes at $4.25/hour buys. Oh yeah, and of course I had some serious length on the mullet that I refused to cut to prove my new found independence.

I remember one of my first days washing dishes I tried to lift a huge garbage can that I had filled with all the food i scraped off the plates....I got it lifted up and almost to the top edge of the dumpster but lost my grip on it. I couldn't find anything better than a cup and bowl to scrape up the mess. Such fond memories!

Delivering icecream to all the corner stores and resturants in the seedy parts of downtown Vancouver, BC. Driving a 5 ton truck in rush hour day after day feed my desire for intense road rage. Wearing a funny uniform that didn't quite fit. In and out of the freezer box 50 plus times a day. Walking into the back of dirty resturant kitchens at 9am when all the cooking smells from the night before made you feel like puking. I remember watching this one guy at the back of a resturant beside a dumpster shooting up. I hated that job, and still shiver sometimes at the thought of it.

Salmon boat. Alaska.

yep, I was dishwasher in a huuuge hotel kitchen.
Pots the size of a man that you need a chisel to clean, stinking greasy huge things. Plus the usual shouty interpersonal behaviour common to industrial kitchens everywhere. Dishwasher is bottom of the pile. I was totally broke, but I still had to walk away after 3 days, it was pure bullshit.

second worst job was night shift in a plastics factory. me and a load of illegal immigrants getting our human rights abused

i have you all beat, When i lived in las vegas i worked on the set of low budget adult entertainment films as a "fluffer"

dark days

he he
just kidding

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

I do that to my vagina just for fun. The longest it stayed glued together was 6 days.
