A cousin of mine once worked in a factory production line that involved cricking chicken's necks. All day long a guy to his left would keep passing him chickens and he would swing them around his head like a football rattle until they were dead. I don't think he ever really got over that job, the poor dead bastard.
I was told I had the job at the printing firm, only to be called up a few hours later and told I was too old?! I was 24 for f**ks sake! And why didn't they stop when they asked my D.O.B at the beginning of the whole freakin' process. Nobs.

5 days in a printing office where the boss was far too friendly. On the day I left he went too far so I pushed him over.

That's against the law. Take them to tribunal and make some money for a change.

My dad works on a chicken farm & has to snap necks. A far cry from his manager position in an office. But hey ho that's what moving to Norfolk does to you.
He said everytime he picks up a chicken all the others pop their head up and go "ohhhhhhh". He hates doing it.

Hmm, would I still have a case after two years?

Would you like to know on a no win no fee basis?

You're always going on about how wretchedly poor you are and how you can't afford to upgrade from a PS1 because all your dole money goes on bongs.

I'm not on the dole! And, yes.
I'm just very frugal with the money. Whenever I have the money to buy a PS3 is when I'm not that bothered about buying one. All my games consoles are gathering dust at the moment.
I once got a days work stuffing envelopes when I was temping. I'd finished by 3, so they sent me home.
I did 5 months as an early morning cleaner at Sainsbury's to supplement my income and six months later when times got tough again I went back. The second time it was for just two weeks primarily because I couldn't get to work cos someone had nicked me bike from outside the store. I was actually worse off than when I started.

I used to work with someone who once had a Saturday job as a chicken de-beaker.

I remember once, as part of my job helping out in Animal By-products, collecting a big bucket of chicken entrails which had been left outside in the summer heat. Imagine the smelliest thing in the world, and amplify it. I find it's rare that I get repulsed these days, compared with things like that.
I found a dead, pus filled hedgehog once. That smelt rather bad.
