Not for me. This. I get the heebie jeebies watching these kinds of films and imaging what life would be like as part of the mafia. I'd be constantly sweating like a pig. Not that I dont these days tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few in particular I certainly couldn't do: Dentist - I don't like going there and having to see some of the dental messes that they will on a daily basis would give me the boak. The money would be good, but just not worth it. Those high building window cleaning jobs posted earlier in this thread - I'm not afraid of heights, but that video put me on edge. No thank you. Again, the money just isn't worth it. Cabin crew - I have seen the mess that some manky b*****ds manage to leave on even a 2hr flight. Don't want to deal with that and certainly don't want to have to clean up anyone's puke, which is the stuff of nightmares. Can't even hide behind the money here. Surgeon - Whilst teeth give me the boak, other medical gore does not. However, I am useless at most practical tasks requiring decent handiwork, so I'll do the right thing for the patient and stay well away. You could become the Harold Shipman of the surgical fraternity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I worked the old buscuit line in Walkers of Aberlour for a summer (see Famous Persons thread). Picking up oaty biscuits and putting them in wee piles whilst listing to some 60 year old alky wifie from Rothes drone on about her husband being a c**t wasnt for me. Zoned out a lot but if you missed a pile then got shouted at by a 60 year old alky wifie from Rothes so, you know. My biggest gripe though was having to stick wee "Made in England" stickers on the bottom of boxes of Duchy Original biscuits which the production line was churning out. To this day I regret not mentioning "yer brother's a fucking fraud" to Princess Anne when we had our wee chat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing about being a dentist and hating it would be knowing that you'll likely never earn nearly as much again if you jack it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never considered myself to be a claustrophobe, but the thought of squeezing through impossibly tight rock tunnels with no way of escape starts something screaming in my brain. The worst part is how happy and smiley they all look in the pictures they take. Lunatics. https://allthatsinteresting.com/nutty-putty-cave That makes me feel ill probably worse than heights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most frightening people I ever met was a guy who worked in a slaughterhouse and seemed to enjoy it. A very creepy guy, who I imagine would slit your throat for a shilling if he thought he'd get away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 A streamer I watch told a story once about when he worked in a call centre for people phoning up to claim on insurance. I couldn't do that. He had a girl on the phone once whose dad had had a heart attack while driving, so the insurance company wouldn't cover the cost of the crash because he was considered dead at the moment of impact. There was also someone he worked with who apparently bragged about making people cry when they phoned up, so there's two reasons I could never do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got me thinking there is no chance I could do that. What job could you never do? And did you learn you couldn't do it after you started doing it? They were causing traffic jams in both directions today as folk slow right down to watch the folk dangling upside down polishing the bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 My current job involves serving the general public of Edinburgh and the Lothians. I probably shouldn't do it because I think, on the whole, that they're cnuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got a ladder propped on the top of that platform if so, I hope there will be hot sausage rolls at your funeral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
