When trying to think of my worst jobs, I find that I walked out of all of them early on before they got even worse. No point sticking it out in a crappy job unless you really need the money.
Telemarketing - I did the full day training session. The next morning as I lay in bed I called them up and told them I wouldn't be coming in. At all.
Siding - I did this for one hot summer day. Had no real idea what I was doing. Screwed up a couple of times and the guy I was working with as a favour (friend of a friend) was pretty pissed. We were both relieved at the end of the day when I told him it wasn't something I wanted to do. If you live in a house in Tuscany with some poor siding, that might've been me.
Fedex - I unloaded trucks at the airport for three days before I'd had enough and quit. Never did receive any pay for that one.
Warehouse - I was sent to a warehouse by a temp agency. I'd worked in a warehouse for 3 years prior to this so wasn't anything new to me but not really something I wanted to do again. I went to the office where I was told the boss was running late and I was left standing there feeling awkward for quite a while. Eventually the old bag with a moustache shows up but says she has to go to a meeting for a few hours and asks me to deal with the truckers and their documents coming in. 30 mins of that and I just thought to myself "what am I doing here?" I wrote "Sorry, the job's not for me" on a sticky note, put it on the computer screen and walked away. Thankfully, later that day I got the phone call for the job I'm currently in for the past 10 years, so it worked out in the end.
