What was your 1st Job ever? what did you hate about it.

So Im wondering what kind of jobs people here in OT had when they 1st started working...what were the things you hated about it?

I had my first job when I was 16 as a busser and I remember almost walking out because I was so tired of being told what to do every minute..and dealing with *****customers..trying to smile while talking to them, complaining to me about their food LOL, why dont you go complain to the chef or waiters. and one time I was asking this guy if he was finish..(obviouslythey were and I can see his guest getting bored because he wont shut up) and raised his hands along with his finger to tell me to be quiet(seriously, cant he say it kindly?I dont care if you tip me or not.), ofcourse hedidn't get service after what he did. yup, I hate customers without manners.

Shelved books in a library.

It was boring as ****. I stared at milfs and slept a lot.

Riveting work.

Bashas grocery store and I was a courtesy clerk. I hate dealing with old customers because there always really irritable. :/

Yard assistant at a car auction site, was 15 when I first started. It was good at first seeing how I got paid more than everyone i knew but as the years went on and minimum wage started to rise i found myself earning less in comparison. That and getting in and out of cars that were sitting on a concrete pad on a hot summers day was not very fun.

I was a janitor at a mall....and I loved it :D

My boss was great and the other people I worked with were just as friendly. We were all pretty good friends and everyone got along. Eventually they fired everyone that was a part-timer to save money and simply make the full time people do more work. I actually really enjoyed my job simply because it was easy and I always had money on me through out most of highschool.

My second job as a dishwasher was brutal...our "boss" (Aka the loser who didn't graduate highschool and worked as a dishwasher for 5 years) treated everyone horrible. My friend and I both ended up quitting within 2 weeks of actually being hired.

Now I am just kind of relaxing until I start college 8)

my first job was when I was 14...I worked at a Christmas tree farm for two weeks.

Honestly, I loved it. I love physical labor. I would haul trees out of the farm, cut the stump down as needed, then dump it on the roof of people's cars. It was great. The only bad part was all the pine sap I got covered with, but the owner told me butter cleans it off so I went home, rubbed butter on myself, and...it came off!

my first legal, legit, on-the-payroll job was as a dishwasher, though, when I was 16. It was at a small cooking school that taught cooking lessons to people. it was cool, i got to go out and prep food before classes, talk to the instructors, and wash dishes. They really liked me there, and most of the instructors were all middle-aged moms and moms really tend to love me for some reason. The only bad part was when they cooked mexican food...that stuff is a PITA to clean! Baked cheese on dishes, pans with crusty refried beans...its just awful and stinky.

Oh yea, and cleaning grease traps is one of the most god awful parts of any job ever.

I did some modeling for events and booths. Hated being on my feet all day in heels and the pervys. At the same time I babysat. I loved that job - only thing I could hate about it was it made me feel old when I couldn't keep up with the energy of the kids I watched.Sajedene

were you a booth babe for any video games? I bet that'd be creepy as hell

yes, butter massages are very fulfilling and smell great.

seriously, though, I miss those days where I could take any job I want. I worked some fun stuff; Christmas tree farm, dishwasher, construction/demolition, and eventually cook for a few years. I worked with a lot of great people, a lot of different places, and learned a whole lot. I can clean a sink full of dishes in about 10 minutes, fix drywall and build decks, and cook just about anything.

I love my current job, but there is something about being young and mobile and doing whatever it takes to pay the bills as opposed to being in place and working for a living.

First job was working for the gov't. Hated: Loss my job because I turned down sexual advances of a 60 year old womanclayron

First paying job was mowing lawns for my neighbours. First actual job was checkout chick at a supermarket.

Being an extra on sets, commercials, TV series and one HBO movie. I hated wearing the uncomfortable/stupid wardrobes you sometimes have to wear.

Dude, bussing is AWESOME as a first time job that requires no experience and no training.

Yeah dude, it can be annoying, but what job isn't? I bussed before, and usually made upwards of $20 an hour. That is not bad at all for a first time job.

Bussing is nice in that, like tips, there is no set ceiling for how much you can potentially make. Especially given the fact that many bussers are lazy and don't want to work, this makes a good busser all that much more valuable to the waiters. Because when the waiters have 10 tables full of people just looking for an excuse to complain about the smallest thing just in order to cheap out on the tip, you have no idea how valuable teamwork among the staff is. Waiters will tip bussers the hell out. All the busser has to do is work his ass off.

Anyway, my first job was as a clerk at a clothing store. Pay was not good, but it was actually a pretty chill and laid back job. Aside from that one time someone took a dump in the dressing room, it was pretty ****ing cool as a first job.

my first real job was at mackers, three guesses why i hated it so much

After leaving secondary school I worked voluntary for another school, doing general, random stuff. Reprographics, design leaflets and tickets with desktop publisher and assist in some of the school faculties.

I was 16-17 in that job so not much older then the kids. I remember I used to have lots of girlies chatting me up :P I used to get shy and hide in one of the rooms. Also it felt really wrong for some reason, even though I was not much older it just didn't feel like the time and place. I remember being at school myself and some of the girls had this crush on a new PE teacher. He delt with it by being funny and nice, but keeping things short and sweet, keeping his distance and making sure they didn't corner him. I did the same!

I still have my first job. I've been delivering the local newspaper for about 3 years (since I was 14).
It pays decently and I work 1 hour a week (and I can choose when to deliver them).

Still on my first job....going on 3 years unloading trucks for walmart.....ive lost about 70lbs since i started there.

mine was at a supermarket, I still work there although i'm leaving in a week or two, I hate most things about it, most of all the managers, who treat the workers as if we are inferior to them.

I worked in a resturant here in town when I was 14-15. It made me realize that I am not that good with customers. I got fired for getting pissed and telling a customer where to shove it. I really havent had to deal with the general public since and thats been 9 years ago. Hopefully never will.

I worked at Disney World selling ice cream. Wasn't so bad, I guess. It was cool to see those massive underground tunnels they have everywhere. If I hated anything, it was just standing in the Florida sun dressed like Paul Revere.....

Wal-Mart was my first job. I was 18 for a month while there and then turned 19. I worked as an ICS Associate the entire time, which was just being on the floor to stock and straighten the shelves plus giving assistance to customers.

What I hated most was customers. People just are not considerate. Working the closing shift gave me a few extra things to hate because I had to stay until most every department was "zoned" to the closing managers' satisfaction so I didn't always leave on time, though sometimes I was able to leave early as well. It wasn't completely terrible but definitely not a dream job. I was very lucky because there were, for the most part, really fun people that I closed with so at the end of the night when we're all in the same area, it was usually a pretty good time talking and whatnot.

I think I'd give it a 5/10. Pay was decent and assuming you can control yourself around people making you angry, it's tolerable. But again, I had the luck of rather fun people to close with.

Tesco supermarket when I was 17. I despised it.

I just hated dealing with rude customers, which sadly was the vast majority of them. They show no common courtesy whatsoever.

First job: Local Fast Food restaurant in my country.

What I hated: The clients.

I umpire little league baseball games. I get 40$ a game and do about 3 games a week during the spring and early summer. I like it alot but its only 3 months of the year.

My dad has always owned retail clothing stores:

I started having to work for him from the time I was 12...working 40-50 hours a week in the summer/breaks

Bad part = getting paid $200 for an entire summer

I worked at a grocery store. I didn't hate it because I got a steady paycheck for the first time in my life and could actually afford stuff.

Now when I'm without a job I hate it.
