"I hate my job. I quit!"




Have you ever wanted to say these words? What was the turning point at work that you actually said it?

[baron_von_brunk]

The *best job* I ever had: about ten years ago I worked in a temporary position called "fire watch." Long story short, a small medical center was constructed in my hometown, and while the interior was still being built, the fire sprinklers and smoke alarms hadn't been installed yet. Thus a temp agency hired me for a three-week assignment to hang out there overnight -- all alone -- and make sure the building doesn't catch on fire. It was basically just a security guard job, only with fewer responsibilities, and in a mostly-empty building. I was there every night by myself doing whatever I wanted to do, and the whole place was my playground. I literally got paid to eat snacks, run around exploring, and watch Futurama DVDs. Then on the tragic day they installed the fire safety equipment, I became obsolete and the party ended.

I was hired as a fake audience member for Amy Schumer's shows. I had to laugh at every joke she said to get the laughter going. I hated myself for that.

Apparently there's actually a job called "Professional Apologizer". It's someone who apologizes for other people.

[DemonicAkumi]

The whipping boy thing explains why the medieval kings were so psychotic lol

[edwardhoulton]

The groom of the stool was one of the most powerful people in the royal court.

You didn't mention the King's food testers, making sure the King's food wasn't poisoned. You got free food and could enjoy better food than commoners, but you never knew which meal would be your last.

[jemmocortes]

Yeah I wanted to say, "I hate my job. I quit!"





*Being a student.*

[masonmead]

“The hide is immersed in water and feces to further clean it”

Me: Wait a second...

[joemichaelson]

The worst job is creating websites without wix.

[allenlaw]

Wiping the kings backside was actually a privileged job as you would be the only person around and could engage in conversation and get benefits for your children that others would not.

[lollipopyummy]

Actually the worst job is teaching the 9th class!!

[seabassseabass]

"With time, the child draws in.
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on."

[zerogravitybolt]

And I’m over here wiping my own as like a peasant

[AlyOopsieDaisy]

There was someone in the medieval times who said “when life gives you poop, you make lemonade with it, and also everything else.”
