I’m not asking about the worst job. I’m asking about the grimmest one. For me it was when in my teenage years I was making candles you would put on a grave. Most of the time is was just filling the form, burn the right shape and passing it forward. But sometimes I had to fill in for a person who was selling these things, and that is where it gets grim. It was decades ago but I still remember one lady who asked what would be the best candle to memorialize her late husband. And she gave me the whole life story of her and her husband. I shit you not, it was the most touching love story I have ever heard. I quit the next day.

    Changing literal adult diapers. It was for adults with developmental disabilities.

    Also as part of the job, I was punched, spit in the face, slapped, cursed at, and was also sexually assaulted by an older guy on a few occasions (I’m also a male).

    Though one of the last times I remember being punched, it was because I was trying to break up a fight between two guys and the one bigger guy threw his punch and it hit me in the chest. The whole time the fist was coming at me, I was expecting it to hurt since he was large. I barely felt it and tried not to laugh as I kept trying to break them up. Not saying that like I’m tough, because I am not and was much smaller than he is, but his punch really was that weak lol

    Fun times…
