What job were you bad at? I was a terrible house cleaner.

Cold calling. I hated that job.

While at Air Force Basic Training, each person is given a special housekeeping duty. I was the bed aligner. It was my job to ensure that the two rows of about 15 beds each in our bay were in a perfectly straight line. First day, drill sergeant yells for me to come into the bay. "Do these beds look straight to you?" Me: "Yes sir, they sure do." Him: "You're fired." Apparently, I am a poor bed aligner but this hasn't seemed to have much of an effect on my everyday life, thank goodness.

I was a nanny for a few months. I hated that job. The kids were spoiled and I couldn't keep them under control.

I was a bad babysitter. I didn't do it much, but I just did not enjoy it. I felt weird being in someone else's house. I related to kids OKAY, I guess, but I was only 13 and really had no clue what to do with them.

My last babysitting gig involved a stint every day for a week. The family had a big huge mean dog that shit all over inside its "dog room" (aka some back room where they put the dog so it wouldn't maul me) and it wouldn't let me into its room to clean it up. The kids were okay; the dog was not okay. I felt bad and had to tell the mom that the dog pooed but wouldn't let me in to clean it up.

Nice family, but I decided babysitting was not for me.

I worked at Blockbusters for two weeks-then called in to quit because I couldn't handle going in even one more shift. It was tedious and soul-sucking work, especially working two hours after closing to tidy everything.

Not bad at but I hated working for Verizon. I worked in a call center and can you say "micro-manage"? jeez o pete!  If you had to go to the bathroom you were out of adherence, if your lunch was schedule for 11:17 and you were on a call (that you could not rush through, big no-no) and you did not go until 11:21, you were out of adherence.

I just wanted to help the customers, not worry about bullshit like that and also I am sure not every customer that called in wanted to hear all of the spill about how to check your minutes, upgrades etc. Just fix their damn problem and move on!

I was a terrible waitress. I'm surprised I got any tips at all. I could never get the hang of carrying those large trays, one time I dropped one . It was full of drinks and plates. Horrible! I lasted about 3 months, then they switched me to hostessing.

My senior year of high school I worked at Montgomery Wards in the clearance department. Basically I was in a big room that had previously been part of the warehouse and it was full of scratch and dent appliances and floor model furniture. The department manager never came back there, I usually worked by myself or just with one other person and we rarely had customers. I spent most of the shift on the cordless phone sitting in a recliner or sneaking outside to smoke. Then we got some exercise equipment in and I sat down on a Total Gym that was not properly assembled, the support bar swung up and split me between the eyes. I blacked out for a few seconds and woke up with blood dripping down my face. They didn't have a proper first aid kit so the operations manager gave me a butterfly bandage and a cups of someone's ice cream out of the break room freezer to hold on my head.

This was just before the company filing for bankruptcy and eventually they started bringing clothes to our area and we had to keep them folded on folding tables. That lasted about 2 weeks, I got sick of folding the same sweaters 100 time per day and quit.

Waitress. First, I have ADD and just could never remember who asked me for what. Second, it's a freaking HARD job. And I hated it.

That's why my base tip is 20%. You really have to suck to not have me tip you 20%.

Being a housecleaner in a motel. I worked at a gas station part-time. The people that owned the gas station also owned the motel down the street. (think main street of a busy small town). The main housekeeper had a family emergency and my boss asked me to help out at the motel for a few weeks. I hated it. It was hot and summer and I was making beds in motel rooms and I am short so I could not reach across to tuck the sheets in. I was not good at it at all. 

WERE?  hahahaha  I am still a bad house cleaner.  I hate to clean thats why I had someone do it for me for years.  Now it seems kind of silly to have someone clean four rooms and bathroooms.

Fresh out of High School after completing the Childcare course at BOCES, I got a job at a daycare, I was so super excited I had found a job so fast, until I showed up on my first day and they had me working in the kitchen...Alone!! Just me, never cooked before, I did good for a couple days actually, it was hard work but I did it, until the one day I had to keep food warm in the oven in order to feed all of the kids warm food, when I managed to set off all of the fire alarms and had to have the whole building evacuated. Needless to say my services were no longer needed after that day. I wish the would have let me be an assistant in a room which is what I applied for!

Marketing communications/PR. I had to talk to strangers on the phone in such a way that they wanted to continue talking to me! It was awful. I was awful.
