Share the Worst Job You've Ever Had: 

A Lifeguard...

What Made This Job Your Worst Job - Ever: 

I worked at this indoor water park. I never was the type to get sick but the whole time I was there it was like an ongoing sickness. I ended up getting strep throat, which I had never had before. On the one day I asked to go home early because it was really bothering me and it didn't help that it was so humid in the park, they had taken me off the stand and told me I could go when all of a sudden they came back and told me to go to the start of another rotation - never got break that day! Then, one other time I went to work feeling a little nauseous. When I got there I started throwing up on stand and had to go to the bathroom. I asked to go home and they said no, gave me a bag, and put me back on stand. Needless to say, that was the worst job ever!

What I'd do differently: 

Don't work there anymore. Quit sooner.
