Nice one they made me laff some of your jobs

I once did a moonlight flit foreigner style money making extravagnza from spud packing, it was to do this old ladies gardens, well fk me, it was like the enchanted wood! Brambles everywhere, tall grass, foliage to the max! Went in armed with Shears and a lawn mower, come out cut to fk lol She gave me 4 quid the tight get. Anyway promptly bought ezee posse love on love with itso its all good

1st one i had was working in Wrights pies in stoke through an agency straight after i failed at school, soon as i walked in i was almost sick with the smell and then they put me infront of this machine and pushed a bathtub full of raw meat and potatoe filling up to me, handed me a bucket and said climb up that ladder and start filling it up! I must of lasted all of an hour, told the supervisor to fuck off and walked out lol.
The worst was workin in Mosspack potatoe factory where u had to keep pickin shit out of your nose cause the air was so thick with it from the soil. My job was to climb on top of the machine and sprinkle soil over the potatoes as they come down the conveyor belt so when the person at the end bagged em up they looked more "organic" when they were sold in Sainsburys! I even got sacked from there for being 2 minutes late off me break just cause i had wait inline at the shop to get summat eat!

and that pic you posted reminds me of something years ago that cracked me up, and still amuses me now tbh

A few of us were watching telly and it showed on screen some woman making sausages in a factory
I remarked 'That looks like my mum!'
and some scamp replied 'Why, does your mum look like a sausage then?'


really shit joke / remark but I was crying with laughter for ages and ages after
suppose you had to be there
Anyway, as you were....

Oh and my 1st job was part-time in a Pharmacy, for the princely sum of £1.50 an hour IIRC

[very puddled]

had to think then ......

my first job was working in proctor & gamble as a cleaner , i hated it , i had to start at 5am and finished at 2pm and was surrounded by dirty old men for the whole shift , [who though i was there for them to perv on ]

so i left quick sharp........

Used to prune stalks at a farm close by. Thats what got me into the whole prune-ing obsession.

[Lozzie]

I occasionally worked at a farm near my house, collecting eggs from the chickens. I didn't even get paid, i think i had the odd riding lesson. I just loved being on the farm really.


After that, it was cleaning offices when i was about 15...i think that was 3.30 an hour?

then spar, with this freak who still runs it today. she was a twat. she's actually barred my little brother for nicking chewing gum (at least a year ago-he's still barred) and she used to let her smackhead son cme in and take what the fuck he wanted!!!! I think that job was 3.10 per hour!!!!! WTF, I was 16.


Ive had a load of jobs...but nowt tops my current job for randomness thats for sure!!!!


hahaha.


Good thread, has propper made me laugh!!!!
