What’s the worst job you ever had, but can look back on and laugh about?

I was just thinking about this after running into an old coworker.

Back in my teens I worked at the most pathetic snow tubing hill you'll ever find. It was tinier than a bunny hill. Thing was, there really wasn't much to do in the winter in this area, so it could get packed at times. So no breaks for the 3 high school kids running the hill and fixing the line that constantly needed repairs with our minimum knowledge of how it even operated. The owner would only let us inside if we had to shit. We were told to piss outside. He reserved the restroom for the customers only. So when the weather was bad, nobody ever came to the hill. We'd just be standing around in negative degree weather, blistering winds, walkie talkies in hand. The walkie talkies were a life saver. Our boss never had his on him if no customers were there. So we'd just constantly riff on him and joke about how stupid our job was. It was awful at times, but having coworkers that I could laugh so hard with made it bearable
