Jobs you wouldn't do on principle?

if you are 1% as chip-on-your-shoulder at work as you are here, I'd want to fire you too.
I'm sure you'd prefer a "very 'umble guv! I know my place and who me betters are, guv!" approach.

You do seem to have an awful lot of bad luck then. And you do come across as someone who is very difficult to deal with. My 2 cents.

No, I'd prefer someone who doesn't think that the world owes them a living whilst they just get to stand there lecturing everybody else on how they should be running their affairs and living their lives. I'd prefer someone who isn't a vampire, sucking the life and energy out of those that just want to get on with things. I'd prefer someone, in short, that isn't a whiny, petulant taker obsessed with getting as much as possible for as little as possible.

And I suspect that your previous employer had much the same wants.

Mask? When have I pretended anything other than contempt for your attitude?

You can shove your masks, sonny jim.

I'd prefer a 'I know I've agreed to come here and perform certain tasks for a certain renumeration and I'm at liberty to leave if I want so I won't spend all my time bitching about it' approach.

I know, it's terrible when we proles just won't do as our masters say, isn't it?
And hasn't your approach served you well, eh? You sure showed everybody else alright.

You're putting words in my mouth, but if you don't like getting told what to do, don't work

That is over simplifying things a step too far :mad:

What, like a manager? I'm reminded of that Father Ted episode where he says "fascists dress in black and tell people what to do, whereas priests ... "

Hey, if you can't tell the difference between a fascist and a priest, that's your look-out. And I'm sure it will continue to serve you well in the future.
 
There are more jobs I wouldn't do on princple than those I would do, but I'm fussy like that (and of course v fortunate to have the choice, as all of us are to have that choice).

Could you be a doctor and tell someone they had cancer?

I'd struggle due to lack of ability but have some experience of giving out bad news. It's a job vital to society though and I would do it.
 
in principle - I wouldnt do any job at all

in reality - the one was pays for most for least work and the least risk of injury and death
 
I'm with Kabbes; morally bankrupt, make me an offer etc etc

I think I'd probably turn down jizz mopper or fluffer (do female porn stars have fluffers? I'd do that)...

To be fair, who doesn't look good in a top hat and fat cigar?
There's looking good and there's looking the part. You'd probably do alright with a great big monacle, gold fobwatch and stupid muttonchop moustache.
 
What about black market jobs?

I can see how some people would consider drug dealers to be evil?

People traffickers are the lowest of the low in my opinion!

You have mutton chop side whiskers, silly

I wear a bowler a fair bit
Smoke cigarettes but not cigars
Have a fobwatch but it is silver
Can't grow any decent facial hair but wish I could
Monocles are cool

:D

It's like you've met me or something.

I imagine that you are in sackcloth but with a chip the size of Belgium on your right shoulder.
