Many of us have had at least one job in our lifetime where we've wanted to turn around and tell our bosses where to go.
Some of us did and live happily ever after, some don't and just grit their teeth to get on with the job at hand.
But a question which appeared on an Irish social media page recently has got people revealing the worst stuff they've had to deal with in a job before.
A post on the Ireland reddit page on Monday simply asked people: "What's the worst job you've ever had?"
At time of writing, there were over 400 responses, some of them with truly awful situations.
One user told of their trouble in a kitchen.
They wrote: "Dishwasher at a diner. Nothing but hard labour with awful smells from pots and pans that have been sitting on the service line all day, for minimum wage. No respect from anyone, nothing you can even enjoy about it, and you do it by yourself in the back of the kitchen with no one to talk to, and this was before smartphones and podcasts, so all I had to listen to was the family diner music."
A second explained about a boss from hell, writing: "Had a new manager shout at me on the floor in front of customers for literally no reason, he walked away and the customers came up to me and said he was some c**t. He was fired a week later for harassing a few of us that night."
Then there were the short and sweet explanations, with one post reading: "Kitchen porter. Worst.....job.....ever"
Another user spent time: "Clearing a warehouse of cork panelling. The dust.... Oh my god. The dust…"
While a fifth post does not sound like fun at any time, let alone in these current Covid days.
"A sound analyst that had to listen to recordings of people with chronic coughs and mark every time they coughed violently throughout a 24 hour period," they explained.
