Lol oh ya, I had a few, here's one I remember the most...

Was dating this chick back in high school, probably like Grade 12 summer or something I got a job through my girlfriends brother in law doing Cribbing. If you don't know what cribbing is, let me ####ing tell you it is hands down the worst job in the world.

I show up first day on the construction site, it's pouring rain, don't know what the #### i'm doing but this "crew" was a bunch of crack headed looking mofo's barking orders at me and smoking like there was no tomorrow. It's wet, cold and i'm literally carrying ~200lbs of wood planks or whatever you call them down a slippery, muddy hills going up and down all day long so we can prepare for the concrete pour. Anyway, we have these ledges we walked on that were set up with 2x4's that were sketchy as hell when you're up 10-15 feet and trying to hammer these things in (safety equipment? pffff only pussies need that!) and I ended up falling off and catching my arm on rebar sticking out and getting a massive gash (still got the scar today). I quit half way through my second day when I was tasked to bend rebar for couple hours... seriously #### THAT JOB.

Enjoyed the rest of my summer, went to university that fall and the rest is history.

Oh and yeah, never got paid for it either, don't give a crap though, the foreman prob's needed that money for more booze and cig's.
