Worst job was working contract doing product design for a major medical firm. Got stuck in a cubicle 8'x5' lit up with overpowering flourescent light. Ran Pro/E on a pokey Unix box with a crappy tube, when I pushed my chair away from my desk I immediately banged into the file cabinet thing they had jammed behind me. Supervisor was quite possibly the most arrogant and abrasive human I have ever met, never said hello back, patrolled over the cubicle wall to make sure you were working, always wore a tie (nobody else in the whole place of 700 people did), was always the last guy in the department to leave at night. Got to the point where some of the other guys would stay til 8 P.M. just to pi$$ off the boss cause' he had to be the last guy out. Nobody talked to each other there out of fear of little Hitler. People walked the halls in that place staring at their feet. Worked with guys who had been there 20 years that were lucky if they could model a brick on the computer, nobody bothered to train them on anything. Spent 1 year and 3 months designing a pager sized device that held 2 AA batteries, spent darn near 6 months on the battery door alone between donuts, surfing the internet, trying to look busy, damn near crying I was so bored, and planning my exit. Can't for the life of me figure out to this day why I was hired, I had nothing to do there. Makes me absolutely appreciate my current employer.

Loading dock at Monkey Wards was the interim college job before my internship. Lady picked up a new dishwasher one day and wanted me to tie it to the top of her Geo Metro with chicken twine, and got pi$$ed when I wouldn't do it. Wouldn't pay the $17 delivery fee either on her $500 dishwasher.
