When I was a student I had to take teenager from a teenage prison and sit in on a teenage sexual offender programme. Four of the participants there, 2 of the fathers (parents were encouraged to attend) and 2 of the teenagers literally used to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Talk about seriously uncomfortable...

The main instructor was a lecturer of mine at Uni, after my contract ended, she wanted me to continue taking the boy and going to the course, for free. To help with the programmes dynamics, I said no and explained why, she was aggrieved to say the least. My mistake, I failed her course and had to redo a research paper the next year.

As for a job I haven't done but wouldn't do, it has to be the people that guide the *beep* of a Bull and Stallion during mating into the correct orifice. That job seems a tad strange to me Smile

When I worked as a ramp attendant at the airport, one of my many duties was sucking the lavoratory fluid from the airplanes after they landed. Basically, everything that comes from the lavaratory gets deposited in a big tank. Well once it was kind of cold and my hands got numb and I wasn't able to secure it (the sh*t pipe connected to the sh*t truck) in place properly so it came off and I got a bunch of poo/ piss/ jizz/ tissues all over my arms. That was kind of sh*tty hahaha

I think agriculture is considered the most dangerous industry to work in.

I think any job in a slaughterhouse or factory farm. I remember I worked a temp job 10 years ago and one guy said he lasted one day as the "kill man" in a beef packing plant and he still had nightmares about it.

Beef kill floor I worked two Summers and then a year. The worst job there was 'bunging'. I did it for a day only, it was one of the highest pay grades. Tricky, one got one's knife under the hide and cut from the inside out to avoid dulling the blade on hair. All this about the cow's anal orifice and once that vacuum hose resembling portion was clear of the hide it was suspended mid-air on spring hooks (prior to the hide being pulled off like a pullover sweater, one smooth motion). Another high bracket job was working on the head. Beef heads, stripped of hide/fur, on hooks and using the knife on it. There was also a lower bracket (but still very good pay) cutting off hooves, snouts, horns just after they were killed. They hung upside down dangling foot chained to the moving line overhead hustling them along slowly. Trying to cut off a hoof there'd be a kick, reflex action. Pus bearing sores/growths and worms in the carcasses were a distraction from gross normality. They were a great bunch of guys and practical jokes were hilarious.
