    Working in the kitchens at my local hospital. Had to rinse huge vats of porridge and mashed potato for 8 hours a day. The stink of potato diluted with tepid water and industrial washing liquid was unbearable.

    Now I use post traumatic stress as an excuse not to do the dishes :)

    Tell me about it. I put myself through university with telemarketing jobs. Sold everything from timeshare to mobile phones to the Wall Street Journal. In an 8 hour shift you had to be actually talking for 7 hours. As soon as you hang up a call the next one connects. Hell on Earth.

    Erm I did do it on another job in front of 300 odd people :eek:

    The manager ended up with a cut lip and a headset twisted around his head, I got fired from that job.
