My dirtiest job was picking stone fruit. We had alot of fun though, throwing rotten fruit, mud. I'd come home covered in peaches. The worst was the peach dust from them. It was heaps itchy, and these little lady bugs that would get down your bra and bite your boobs.

:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:--I can honestly say I've never been boob bitten by bugs---lol!!!

I work now in a Pathology lab. We get bits of people EVERY DAY. Colon biopsies, foot long (or longer) sections of colon, toes, fingers, eyes, testicles, ovaries, placentas (SO BLOODY), and MUCH more....
Cleaning the sinks at the end of the day can be amazingly horrid. Poo and blood everywhere.
It's awesome.
Do love it tho! I get to see some really cool specimens that the Doctors that work here will discuss what they are doing, what's wrong with the specimen and what it SHOULD look like (think uterus that is the size of a basketball but lumpy....)
 
I've had several nasty jobs in my life. My dad owned a full service gas station/garage when I was a kid. I was pulling in cars and changing oil/pumping gas since I was 8 years old. I've worked with fiberglass insulation(I'm itching just from the thought of it), I worked in a metal stamping shop that used a type of fish oil(stinky stuff) to lube the metal before stamping and forming. I used to play bass in my dad's bluegrass band. We would play for the retirement homes and nursing homes in my tri-state area. Wow do the workers at a nursing home have a challenging and nasty job. I swear I've seen more fights and lewd behavior at the senior centers then I've seen gigging at the bars :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:...

I'm sure everyone on here has, has had. or will have a dirty - nasty job!!!

Its seems the freshwater crowd doesnt mind getting dirty for a paycheck! Ask the same question in the reef keeping community way differnt answers. Got pretty dirty when I was an oil change tech, used diesel motor oil and gear lube are nasty. Roofing was even dirtier than that especially tearing of 100 year old cedar shake that has been baried under three layers of asphalt shingles for who knows how long. Now a days the worst is being covered in primer over spray but that is few and far between since no one is building new houses.

Ever see a human face smashed flat? Seen bones from outside the flesh? Seen the blood that comes with it? Fought a house fire? Do you know what u look like after that?

Unfortunately, I was one of the first responders for a guy who had his face blown off by a firework accident. I was just a dishwasher on a smoke break, and me and my buddy's were the first to get to him. The people at the party didn't even know anything had happened.

I still remember what that looked like... :( ...That was a really bad New Years Eve...

I wouldn't lnow how to make money without getting filthy dirty :grinno:. There's nothing like the smell of broken down fish oil. When I was working in the tool room of a stamping/machine shop I had to pull a stamping die apart. This die hadn't been used in several years. Once i got it apart the smell of broken down oil sludge with a hint of rotten fish filled the tool room. I mean a smell that lingered for days. After I dis-assembled the die and ran it through the parts washer, I had to change the solvent in the parts washer because it was rank too....
