By far a dish washer.
Only lasted 5 days, and even that is a record for me. BTW; over here, dishwashing machines aren't common, and nothing except the fanciest richest restaurants have them, so for the bigger part, if you work as a dishwasher on a restaurant, you wash them the good ol' fashioned way.
My current job isn't any better (seriously, after working at such a magical place as a Cookie Factory, every other job seems so crappy) since the environment has the same cheer of a funeral home, but at least the pay is good and I don't have to deal with no dirty dishes.

(Professional) Video Security System Designer. I could not stand CCTV design. No matter what my design progams said, every camera seemed to have a mind of its own. Either the field of view was wrong, or the lighting, or the backlighting, or the......(insert customer complaint here) was wrong.
(Non-Professional) Had to be the 2 weeks I worked at Wendy's in high school. For cripes sake, I was flipping burgers and making fries, but the manager made ot seem like it was some kind of rocket science. And the pace they wanted you to keep was crazy. All burgers were "made fresh", which just meant they were assembled fresh. But somehow, 1 person was supposed to be able to assemble 4 or 5 burgers in less than 1 minute. (That was the maximum time for any car to wait at the drive thru without their food).....And now you know why your hamburger looks like someone just threw in in the wrapper......its because they did.

I have only had one type of job, working for McDonalds. I worked at two different one though and my second was by far worse than my first one, which I trabfered back to.

#89: Vacuum-cleaning. The noise makes my head explode, almost literally - anyone demanding that I even touch that foul machination is no friend of mine.
#90: McDonalds, probably. The pay was decent and the people working there were generally not too bad, but the boss was a PITA and the work environment wasn't too pleasant, either.

Never worked, had PRAO, work training or something along those lines, the last 4 years with school. I cut those weeks, they were a huge waste of time, people were just chilling learning nothing at relatives or family friends companies.

NO! They provide me with food!

Mass produced fast food is what it is. Overpriced, bad food. Buy it if you're lazy. Better to make your own food. You know what's in it, and it's still quick and easy to make.
I can't cook for $%^&, if I'm hungry I either grab a micro oven pizza or go to one of the six(I think) fast food places close. Still the standard of fast food in Sweden is quite high.

This. There is really no way to explain it. You'd think I'd like sitting all day on a computer/headset and getting paid for it... no no.... not there.

I left the call center and went straight to Taco Bell. Prior to starting I had the same preconceived notions everyone does. But it's really not that bad.
I do agree with cooking your own dinner personally.
But as far as working there and the food itself... and as far as preparing/freshness it's actually better than people think.

I've not really had a "bad" job, so the worst is probably being unemployed and looking for work. Soul-destroying stuff, I tell you.

Working night shifts in an industrial sized chiller, wearing just a shirt, moving boxes from one place to another, on my own. Add that to the four hours plus without being able to have a break and a manager who
almost
had the intelligence to get himself dressed...Yeah I stuck with that for 9 month's and by then I was totally insane....Not that i was ever sane in the first place mind you.

Probably working at a deli. I did it for a very, very short time and ended up walking out. It really opened my eyes as to hard the food service industry can be and how miserable people who get stuck there can also be. In a sense, it despaired me but also motivated me to never work at that level again.
One of my coworkers would walk around talking about how bad her teeth hurt, and how I was young so I was lucky.
Oh, we also would throw out like $500 of great healthy food per night. We weren't allowed to give it to the homeless sitting outside. I wanted more than anything to grab the garbage can full of it and wheel it outside, giving the finger to the deli. I still wish I had.
