    worst job (as in shit work) was KFC.

    Hours, physical environment, customer abuse all sucked arse

    BUt worked with an amazing crew, we had such a cool time some of those late nights, when I was a supervisor and worked the midnight to 8am shift on a Fri/Sat, I would always close the restaurant at 2 and make people walk through the drive through, otherwise the drunk fuckers would have food fights and we'd have potato and gravy on the windows, walls and roof sometimes!

    Better to have a flatmate who worked nights at KFC during uni. Her mates would often fry up a shitload of food in the last hour before close, back when you got to the leftovers home. Needless to say she never had to worry about opening the front door when she got home

    @canefan yeah I used to drop stuff at my mates or the firestation, or ring the cops up and they'd come grab some...

    Used to go with her to work sometimes on a day off. She would order a small box of chicken and one of her coworkers would stuff it full to overflowing. Happy days

    Sort of a job. I had a mate in the airforce Every year they would destroy confidential files. Really shit job as you were supposed to feed the files into a blazing furnace one page at a time.

    No one understood why he always volunteered.

    He would pick me up. Just before the security gate I would jump in the boot of his car and he would drive straight round the back of the furnace house. We would spend all day cooking sausages on fire shovels, drinking piss and reading reports of various Vietnam war fuck ups. Last couple of hours we would really crank it up and just chuck carton after carton into the furnace. Then it was back into the boot and off to the pub, already pissed.

    Ironically decades later I was National Manager for a large secure destruction company and helped write the Code of Practice for the Industry

    My flatmate worked for Ben Rumble and used to bring the display Playstation and loads of games home each night. That definitely put a strain on both our respective relationships but it takes a pretty special woman to compete with Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, Lara Croft and the ultra competitive Jonah contests we used to have.

    Another flatmate worked for Eagle Boys, he was popular with everyone, not just the boys.
