    I'm on my way to my Monday night class and I stop at Sonic.

    There to my horror I see a male car hop!! I have never seen that before and I really don't want to see that again.

    It is not as bad as seeing a male server at Hooter's but it was a job that I would be embarrassed to tell people about it.

    Then I got to thinking about other jobs that have to be embarrassing or even disgusting.

    I remember my boss telling me that he heard on the Bob and Tom radio show that they were asking people what the most disgusting jobs were and this one guy called in and said "Clean-up guy at a peep show." He won first place.

    Anyone else got some embarrassing and/or disgusting jobs?

    I was actually hired, along with a friend, to be a carhop. It was going to be my first job, but I couldn't go through with it.

    How about assistant crack w****? :)

    My mom is a nurse, and among her duties for a while early in her career was clearing out ...uhhh...impactions in old people who were a little backed up. She wouldn't explain how they did it, but she went as far as saying that once the blockage was jostled loose, things could get mighty explosive.

    Thank god I don't have that job.

    I can help explain how it's done:

    "The compacted stool can become voluminous, causing what is referred to as fecal impaction. Fecal impactions can fill and obstruct the rectum. This can necessitate a visit to the emergency room where an oil retention enema, followed by a digital disimpaction, is performed to remove the stool from the rectum-not a pleasant experience. Fecal impactions are particularly common among the elderly as a result of dehydration coupled with a sluggish bowel. It may also frequent hospitalized patients because of the inactivity imposed by bed rest, the use of medications which may be constipating, and the fact that they find themselves in an unfamiliar environment. Unfamiliarity with one's surroundings can cause a conscious or unconscious delay in using the toilet."

    Did he just say, "digital disimpaction"? Is that "digital" as in somebody's finger?

    Check out <a href="http://www.worstjob.com/">this site</a> for some bad jobs. My favorite -- Burned Potato Chip Picker. LOL!!

    <blockquote><i>For minimum wage you get to watch cooked potato chips quickly fly by on a conveyor belt and you have to pick out the burnt ones. This is done in 90+ degree temperature, with a thick coating of oil in the air. With these three ingredients, it isn't long before motion sickness (watching the chips fly by) increases with the smell and temperature causing you to want to barf. And you know how it is having a minimum wage job, you don't get a break and have to keep your nose to the grindstone. Needless to say I turned down overtime.</i></blockquote>

    SOB!

    I worked at Sonic for like 1 1/2 yrs in high school, my first job. Several times I had to take orders out to cars, so I guess I was a carhop temporarily. Otherwise I worked inside.

    Oh well, carhops get good tips. ;)

    The j*zz mopper, lifted directly from Clerks. I would think anything involving crap would suck as a job (orderly, wastewater treatment worker, sewer maintainence, etc.)

    I just tried to email you with that address you gave me and got a mailer daemon. I thought that was a good address...I'm confused.

    Can you email me through the BBS?? I am pretty sure that I can get off work for Friday and I can meet you at noon at the Hamilton Place Mall. Once I get a message from you, I can email you back with how to get in touch with me.

    Thanks,

    Manny

    Manny, I'll do it later. Our website's been down for a while.

    It just occured to me that you probably think it's this Friday. It's the 28th in March! Sorry for any confusion.

    LOL...yea, I did think it was this Friday!

    I say that I could probably meet you on the 28th of March, but I'll have to see how things go. We'll talk about it more when that time comes.

    My first job was working at a pull through car wash - wiping down cars. One day we closed so we could clean the car wash pit. I don't know why it's so filthy, but it's like standing a septic tank. You have to scoop the sludge out with buckets. Try not to splash and definately no talking or opening your mouth. All for $1.75 an hour.

    Not disgusting, but somewhat embarassing.

    When I was a junior in college at UT, I made money by being a research subject.

    Twice a week, I went to a lab that was in the West Campus area, and I was a hearing test subject. Everyone was herded into a room, was given a form and a pencil, and placed headphones on. You had to mark on the form what noises/sounds you heard and from what angle, etc.

    A freaky, but somewhat interesting way to make cash while in college. I wonder if the recreationals I imbibed in before work each day skewed their test results?:confused:

    I was a research subject too. Only they kept us every weekend for 6 weekends, gave us upper, downers and placeboes, made us stay up all night and every hour we had to take a computer test about math and spacial orientations. They told us they were testing drugs for the space program since there is no daytime/nighttime - if on these drugs, how would the astronauts react to emergencies, etc. My analysis - not too good. The uppers made you answer questions before your brain had time to fully process it. The downers made you fall asleep - more than once I fell asleep between questions. And the placeboes did nothing - but they weren't going to give them those - that was just for the experiment. The good thing was we watched tons of movies, played cards and ate anything we wanted from McD's. I think we got paid $600 total.

    My uncle is an Iternal Medicine Doctor, and thus has had to treat patients for this ailment.

    To answer your question, yes fingers are used after, or in some cases in place of the enema.
