Mine is pretty stupid but frustrating. I work in the 2nd largest fully housed building in the US and its about 70% men. Finding an open stall in the morning sometimes takes a 20min walk or hitting 7 bathrooms each with 3 stalls ALL FULL.

Ahhhhh. At least I get here at 6:30am before most people at 7:30am

    I am a manager at McDonalds....so everything is the worst part. Haha.

    But for reals, dealing with the public. For someone who loathes everyone as much as I do, I'm surprised I've lasted this long without cutting someone.

    Holy moly, I recall saying that when I stayed home. It REALLY was the same every single day.

    That I have to talk to a lot of inept people. That I am so efficient I am counted on to do about 50 things, when I'm only paid for one.

    I work at a research non-profit and my job is awesome, but where I work can be rough. I work in an inner-city hospital which serves prisoners, the poor and indigent. I see suffering from time to time that makes me have to go to the restroom and collect myself.

    Poo.
    I clean out houses and prepare the contents for estate auctions. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to clean out a hoarder's house full of garbage, mold and poo. UGH!

    Having to wake up at 7 every morning. Really, my job is not a bad one. I am a nursing secretary and admission coordinator for a VA clinic. I just hate having to wake up early.

    Closet poopers. I work in the basement of a 9 story building. Women are afraid to poop in public. So they all come to the basement to take care of business. :sick:

    My commute is only 27 miles but if I worked the normal 9-5, it would probably take me 2 hours to get to work...I start work at 6:00 am...usually get here around 5:45 :)

    the worst part of about my job is having to deal day in and out with people that "want" to work, but when you call them to go to work, they have every reason why they can't.

    That people think that you can be an @$$hole to me and get your requests processed immediately (they OBVIOUSLY don't understand that my office has a 48 hour request turn-around time).

    That I am doing the work of managers, only being paid as a supervisor, and having been told that I will NEVER be promoted to manager? That's a biter, too.

    There are more, but that would probably be the top two right there, and they come in neck and neck.

    Mickey D's has the BEST fries IMHO.

    Having to actually GET UP is really a bummer, along with the half hour drive to get here, but otherwise, it's all good.

    I make the money to buy the gas to go to work to make the money to buy the gas to go to work to make the money...hey, wait a minute....

    I used to live in Hawaii and moved to PA over the summer. I'm a teacher and didn't renew my contract so I could move. Now, I sub while I wait for another contract to open up here. It's a job, but it's sooooo hard!!! I went from respect in my own classroom, to being in a different school, different class and not knowing if I'll get a job everyday. It's a blessing to have income, but this has been so hard getting my foot in the door in a new district. Worst part: disrespectful kids!!!!

    Yikes! We have one in my office who is definitely the opposite of that. She poops LOUD and PROUD and sometimes two or three times a day. She also farts (very smelly) at her desk. Luckily I am not near her to smell and hear that and the rest of us in the office usually warn each other if we have seen her just enter the bathroom.
