Prompted by the best job post...
It can be the job as a whole or even just one incident or aspect of the job...
Mine was at 16, temporarily between jobs for a couple weeks, walked to a local farm and asked if they had anything.
'Yes boy', ushered me to a shed (ooer missus) and showed me a stack of bales of hay and a pallet with plastic bags (pet food or bedding iirc)...pack those, box thee packs, penny a bag.
Fark me, I was roasting, choking in hay dust, looking at this unending load of hay to pack.
Did half a day, probably worked out i'd earned a literal pittance, walked off and never went back
Other than that, done some pretty shitty jobs, unblocking sanitary pad machines, toilets, cesspits etc...but that was just part of the engineering responsibility, cant say it bothered me.
