On-the-Job Annoyances That Make Folks Want to Quit

My job certainly has some annoyances.

But even on my worst days, I know that other jobs will have their own annoyances too.

The grass is always greener, right?

But some jobs are beyond annoying. As these posts prove, some jobs are the worst.

Here are 15 examples where people promise that their particular grass is not greener.

First, there’s dealing with kids. And their parents.

1. Fevers and sniffles do not make happy campers

Please leave snot-monsters at home.

I worked at an indoor play park, it was cool, because we could have fun after closing. But really annoying when parents broughttheir sick kids thereand didn't care.

2. Grumpy parents need not apply

They suck the joy right out of everything, don’t they?

Working at a kid's play center was the worst. Parents are total a**holes.

3. It doesn’t get much better when they grow up.

At least no helicopter parents, yeah?

Teaching high schoolstudents over the summer was an awful job. Some were great, but the ones that were bad were absolutely unbearable.

4. And don’t forget the adults who act like children

They might be the worst ones of all.

My current job is the worst. I am receptionist for 400 of the most entitled a**holes ever!

Then there are stores, where customer is king.

5. It’s hard to imagine it being worse than fast food

Unless you have a perverse love of putting the canned goods on top of the produce. ?

Being a bagger at a grocery store is a terrible job. People treat you like you're incompetent and worthless. They don't even treat you like a person. Even worse than fast food.

6. That pretty much says it all

On the bright side, you could get all your shopping done without a second trip.

Walmart is literally the most annoying job ever.

7. Definitely not the place to be if you like things to stay neat and tidy

Now I’m going to feel bad every time I take a box off the shelf.

Most annoying job ever? Working in a grocery store. Fixing aisles perfectly then coming back in less than five minutes to see that they are back to the way they were before.

8. But I’d rather straighten the boxes than clean the toilets

I just literally can’t even.

Working Walmart overnight maintenance sucks. Someone once pooped in the urinal....

Image credit: Whisper

9. Manual labor is definitely not fun

But still preferable to the bathroom situation.

The most annoying job I ever had was cart pushing for Walmart. Our mule was broken 80% of the year I worked there.

Image credit: Whisper

And as annoying as it is to receive calls from telemarketers–just imagine how it must be for them.

10. Frankly it sounds terrible

Especially considering no one answers their phones anymore.

Worked in a call center for a large data storage and shredding company. No employee there was treated as a person. We were all treated like things, and told how replaceable.

Image credit: Whisper

11. I mean, did this person work at the same place as the last person?

Because that has to be illegal.

I lasted one day in telemarketing, then had a seizure because they wouldn't let me take a food/water break or have my anticonvulsants on time. I left in an ambulance and never went back.

Last, but certainly not least, are the odd jobs that don’t fit into a category, but all have their generl terribleness in common.

12. Imagine being a jerk to the person who’s supposed to save you

And imagine having to save them. “Still want that towel?”

When I was life guarding at a resort people would ask me the most ridiculous questions. Do you guys deliver pizza? Can I park there?Can I have a towel? How much to stay another night?

Image credit: Whisper

13. I didn’t even know this was a job

It sounds pretty awful.
I wonder if it would be any better in a more appealing climate?

Selling meat out of the back of a truck door to door in the Arizona desert during the summer was the most annoying job I've ever had.

Image credit: Whisper

14. When you gotta be a bouncer, and you don’t even get tips

I’ve never understood people being upset about being carded.
Like, how dare you think I look young?

Liquor stores are the worst. Gotta card everyone and they get pissed off. Then you have drunks who come in and you gotta deny them. Usually have to throw them out as well.

15. Side gigs are hard work

Sometimes the money’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

My side job is stripping. It's good money but probably the most annoying job I've ever had...

Image credit: Whisper

Those all definitely make me feel better about the little peccadilloes (as Moira Rose would say) that I deal with at my job. What about you? Tell us in the comments.

Off-the-Wall Reasons People Were Fired from Their Jobs

Going to work every day can be soul-sucking

But we all have to pay the rent, so losing your job is typically worse.

And then there are jobs like these, where getting fired almost seems like a blessing in disguise.

Here are 11 absolutely out-there reasons that people were given for being let go.

1. Trying to do the right thing

I mean. I feel like this is one thing that should be protected by law.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Not being a team player

Look, if you’re not going to participate in team building activities…

Image credit: Whisper

3. How dare you do the job I hired you to do

That will teach you to go the extra mile.

Image credit: Whisper

4. You’re meant to be a robot

Grief should not compute.

Image credit: Whisper

5. Honesty is not the best policy

This is what we call oversharing. Then again, maybe a good way to find new participants.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Don’t worry, be happy

Especially don’t worry about losing your job, because if you do, you’ll lose your job.

Image credit:Whisper

7. Don’t look, don’t speak, don’t think

This one is just crazy unless you asked them WHERE they were sunburned…

Image credit: Whisper

8. Be the mannequin you want to see in the world

Don’t gain weight, lose weight, cut your hair, dye your hair. Stay exactly the same.

Image credit:Whisper

9. Be yourself

Unless your boss doesn’t like who you are. Then be someone else.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Above all, be on time

Zero tolerance. No exceptions. Not even for comas. Ouch.

Image credit: Whisper

11. Do your best!

As long as your best isn’t better than your boss’s best.

Image credit: Whisper

So many of these are just too much for me to even comprehend.

You have to wonder how a lot of them are legal.

What do you think? Do you have any crazy stories about getting fired? Tell us in the comments.

Terrible Reasons Why People Got Fired

No one likes to getting fired. When the economy takes a turn for the worse, sometimes it can’t be helped.

And then there are times when it seems like maybe the boss is to blame.

Here are 12 reasons why some truly bad bosses gave their employees the axe.

1. They say “know your worth”

But do they mean it though? Honestly, the nerve.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Last one hired, first one…

Sacrificed at the altar of marital harmony? Eesh.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Do as I say, and as I do

Even if it’s totally illegal. Wow!

Image credit: Whisper

4. Yelling at doggos crosses a sacred line

They say you can tell a lot about the way a person treats their dog.

But should the dog have even been there at all? Was this a trick?

Image credit: Whisper

5. Toddlers gonna toddle

And they all fall down.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Lying liars lie

Seems like maybe HR was jealous.

Image credit: Whisper

7. Sorry, you’re out of sick days

Maybe next time cough on your boss and he’ll send you home instead of firing you.

Image credit: Whisper

8. Pretty sure it wasn’t the breaks

Pretty sure they didn’t want to pay for maternity leave.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Sounds like a really fun office

But if we’re honest, haven’t we all been that person at work?

Image credit: Whisper

10. Invent teleportation or you’re done

It’s not your boss’s job to figure out the schedule. Oh wait…

Image credit: Whisper

11. I’ll fire you before they can fire me

Oldest trick in the book.

Image credit: Whisper

12. Honestly, should’ve seen it coming

Can’t risk being reported for sexual harassment, right?

Image credit: Whisper

Frankly, those bosses sound pretty awful.

As annoying as job hunting can be, I think most of these people would be better off in new jobs.
