the WORST job you ever had?!
Mine was when I was about 19....in west Texas. I helped a buddy sandblast the inside of oilfield scrubbers. You had to crawl inside these things that were about 60 ft long....and only about 48" around. It was summertime.....hotter than a SUMBITCH and you had to be in full sandblasting gear laying on your back...worming your way thru the scrubber. These things were on pipe rollers and they would rotate them from the outside. It was absolutely MISERABLE!

In the summer of 1973 I took a job (as an in-betweener) for a 55 gallon drum recycling company, what we call 44 gallon drums, now 200 litre.
We used to get half used drums of avtur, jet fuel, which worked really well in kerosene lamps and heaters.
The bad stuff was drums of rancid tallow which were rolled through a hot caustic bath, then flushed with steam and water.
It stank like vomit, eight hours a day.

In the summer of 1992, I worked for a whole week as a telemarketer, selling death insurance to little old ladies and men using scare tactics. I quit over principle and went back to being a waitress.
I don't think either was as bad as those ^^ two.

There was this job where I was required to wrangle things that screamed, punched, kicked, urinated, vomited, defecated, threw things like chairs, cursed and spewed racial epithets, all while not being given a break to eat or pee for as many as 10 hours a day. I was required to do this while collecting data at 30 minute intervals and completing legal paperwork. Can't wait til summer is over to start back

Used to work in a produce warehouse for a bunch of fucking exploitative bastards.
The worse day was in the middle of a then 10-hour shift, where I came around the corner, and found a diabetic friend of mine passed out on the floor. They wouldn't let him take a break for necessary personal maintenance. He did get to go home after that. The rest of us had to work four more hours.

Oh god - too many awful jobs to mention. Most of them because of working with horrible people, rather than what I was actually doing. Having said that, working 13 hour shifts 7 days a week on my feet in a shop with a 1 hour break for lunch where we were not allowed to speak to our colleagues, even if the shop had no customers wasn't much fun, and I suspect not entirely legal.

Passing out samples of bar-b-que beef in this awful dump of a grocery store in Texas. That job lasted for exactly 8 hideous hours.
The other terrible job was working in a dinky plumbing store where I was expected to hold up the counter for 8 hours all while staring at mounds of PVC pipe. That job also lasted for 8 hours.

I've had so many...
Burger King (my 1st job) - Never mix people and food....it's a BAD combination.
Grocery store - not too bad....just had to pick up the slack for lazy coworkers.
Research lab - Started off fun but then got boring and repetitive pretty fast.
College Teaching Assistant - Best job I've ever had...loved teaching.
Garden Ridge - lil old ladies and special sales events....crazy.
Dorm Receptionist - always worked the late shift....saw some interesting things...
Animal Hospitals (2) - the first one, one of the vets was a son of a *beep*...the one where I am at now...it has its moments...
Kennel Assistant - really lazy coworkers (and dishonest ones at that)...SUCKED
Factory - moving heavy parts to their storage racks and assembly lines in a metal building with no air...lost 30 pounds that summer...that was the only thing I liked about it.
