World's Most Thankless Jobs

[Demerzel]

Being a large animal vet and having to stick most of your arm up their rear end can't have you being invited to many parties...

the watching someone go to the toilet job sounds like something you'd advertise in certain publications...

being the person who gives people body cavity checks at airports can't exactly be most thankful job ever.

"Cheers mate, that's the best cavity search I've ever had! I'll be walking funny for the next two weeks but that's not your fault! Thanks again, much appreciated"

I can imagine there'd be people interested in all those, though.

I mean, I can imagine it if I tried really hard.

I can't imagine anything much worse than being a Tory front bencher right now - what are you living for?

[Tingkai]

People who scrape up roadkill, at least the ones who get paid, not the ones looking for a free dinner.

Especially if it's a hot summer day and the road kill has had time to get funky. Ick!

[Demerzel]

the laundry people on porn shoots? that can't be pleasant at all to have to clean up all those stains...

note, this'll no doubt be censored for being too rude.

slightly less rude - anyone who has to work at a sperm bank and whose job is to collect the samples. ergh.

one of the most thankless would have to be a proctologist. having to look/feel up anyone's backside can not be considered job of the year i suspect.

unless they were sexy butts...

[Demerzel]

heheh even the most sexy bottom of the most sexy hollywood star/dream girl would not entice me to be their proctologist.

I would be their negligee tailor though, lots of measuring would be needed

Fluffer.

Tax Inspector. Why would anybody want to be so hated?

[Seneca]

Because you're collecting the funds that the NHS and our children's education so desparately need!

OK Tony? I'll charge more next time, mind

I agree. Being a fluffer would suck but at least their getting some right?

[Demerzel]

Prison Guard - hated by the inmates, despised by the police and disliked by the public. job satisfaction none, risks to life and health many. what a job!

OR even more fun!

Nursing Home Butt Wiper

The person describes their job - "I wipe the butts of old people in a nursing home for a living . . . how gross is that?"

And for sheer hatred from the public...

door to door salesman - argh. leave me alone!

I think to find the winner the job must not only be menial and disgusting but it must also have little or no redeeming value. Meaning it needs to fill almost no public good.

One of our cows was giving birth and the calf hoof was caught behind her hip bone. I had to push the calf back inside and unhook the hoof and then help pull him out. I was 16 or 17 at the time. So I can say that I have had my arm up to my elbow in a vagina.
BTW the calf did live.

being the person who gives people body cavity checks at airports can't exactly be most thankful job ever.

Only if you are a male and you get to check out the female between 18 and 30 under 200 lbs.

And the winner is: the US president.
