What's the worst job you've ever had? What made it bad and how long did you last?

Lord, I remember back when the worst thing calling was either a telemarketer, or a collection agency.

Some of them were unpleasant, but not nearly as unpleasant as the people who are trying to straight up steal your shit these days.

Barring a known number, that phone can keep on ringing.

I have a contact in my phone called Spam (with a picture of Spam), and I add any number that doesn't pass the sniff test within 30s (particularly Robo-spammers, urgh!), it can very helpful to get a repeat call and the picture of a can of spam tells me not to bother picking up.
