mines cause i'm at a flat out run either pulling 2500lb skids or carrying 50-150lbs of (insert produce here). When i'm not doing that, or sometimes WHILE i'm doing that, I'm getting bitched at, yelled at, threatened, insulted or otherwise abused by customers.
Man i'm glad that job is behind me

lol, our jacks were so old and abused it sometimes felt like it.... othertimes I'd wish i could unload them. Like the time the wheels fell off, or the seal on the lift mechanism exploded.

no, i quit because the manager was a fucking dick and wouldn't let me do my fucking job. OMFG DO THIS SHIT THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU HAVE TO DO. NOW STOP DOING WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU TO DO IMMEDIATELY AND LEAVE IT HALF DONE AND GO DO THIS! OMFG WTF!?!?! WHY ISN"T THAT FIRST THING DONE! BUT NO< DON'T GO FIX IT, GO DO THIS NOW! WTF!?! NOW TWO THINGS AREN'T DONE!
Thats the average 5 minutes of my day.
bests shifts were when the assistant manager was there. he knew i knew wtf I was doing and left me alone other than to bring me some tim horton's coffee and chicken stew in a breadbowl (easy to eat as I run through the produce back room).. I used to drink about 4 pots of coffee a shift, cause I never got a break. Other than to throw up or piss.

yeah, i would have left that job long ago, but the family needed the money. It sucked working fulltime through grade 12 :S and half the year after it. Quit there, cut my hair, searched for a real job, and ended up in the fish plant.
Still, fish plant >>>>>>> grocery store. Despite being smelly, dirty, long hours, graveyard shift and with shitty people

Remember
your grocery store sounds like hell compared to ours. our produce department is completely staffed by persians who are all friends and work together with like 9 of them at a time and do nothing and leave all the work for the one white guy coming in during the evening, and even he doesn't have to work as hard as you did!

On weekends while I was in school and almost every shift once I was out I'd end up working opening(5am on tues/thurs/sat, 6am in the summer, 7am in winter) to closing (9pm) almost every shift. Usually cause the other guys didn't want to show up, cause it was hell.

Remember
that's so fucking weird. what about unions and laws and shit? what about saying "fuck you, i'm working my scheduled shift and then going home and there's nothing your ass can do about it"?
am i living in a fantasy world here?

unions: they'd shut the store down at the mere mention of the word union
laws: nothing illegal about giving me overtime
saying fuck you: My job was hell enough without leaving bill pissed off. He'd find a way to take it out on me. Plus, I wanted some money for my bike. Paying a mortage and food bills on 32 hours a week (scheduled) at $8.00 is fucking hard.

Remember
that must have been rough 
there's a few people at our store who have to help out with the bills. i guess our store's pretty much unusually easy and nice, though.
also, at least in Ontario, it is illegal to work more than a certain number of consecutive hours (11 or 13 i think). also, illegal for them to make you work for more than 4 hours without a break. it's probably also illegal for them to make you stay after your shift's done. they also can't make you do anything you think is unsafe.
of course all these rules are broken daily in union and non-union workplaces, but i fully plan on busting out the rules if i ever have to. once my manager tried to make me stay late by using the "well, i've got a lot to do, and if i can stay so can you" bullshit angle on me... NO! i stayed for the money anyways, but told him exactly why i was staying and why i wouldn't have hesitated to leave if i didnt want to.
bastard. so that was pretty much a long way of saying "wow, my job's actually pretty good eh?"

yeah, they always yelled at me for not taking my breaks. But i got yelled at more if I did. In the end, it made my life easier to not take them.

I still haven't slept since Thursday night (It's Saturday night now) and I am off to a party, then street luging at the crack of dawn, and back home for band practice

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
hangovers at a manual labor job are no big deal because after about an hour of busting your ass, the hangover is gone.
hangovers at an office job SUCK, i had a pretty bad one the other day. it involved me being a complete zombie which meant i got nothing done, i reeked of day old booze and uncontrollable gas which meant hot wimmen looked at me funny, and i almost fell down while talking with 2 unexpected visitors. ugh, no wonder i rarely do that anymore.
