I had one tempoary job where over the course of 2 days (so 16 hours in total) my sole purpose was to stick bardcodes to the back of books. So...very...boring...

Davo: You've had it light my friend. You've no idea of the crappy jobs I've done whilst chasing my dreams. Just one of those that comes to mind was cleaning a warehouse. A food warehouse. With crap fork lift drivers. In the summer.
These guys sometimes crashed whole palletes of mayo jars onto the warehouse floor. I had to go clean it up and take it all to the skip outside, which sat in the burning sun. Over the course of a week, the mayo and other foodstuffs would rot and become very unpleasant to smell. So much so that I had to sometimes stand on the top of all the rubbish and hose down the sides of the skip. Surrounded by these putrid fumes. I'd be standing there wretching and wretching as I worked. I quit that after 2 weeks.

I've not had a really crappy job. For that, I am thankful.

The worst one I ever had was raising moths in a warehouse: loud machinery going all the time, full monkeysuit and respirator in a non-aerated environment with the walls full of moths and the floor slippery with moth guts. 
I think that being a pharmacist in the state of Mississippi in the USA would be horrid: the legal system is so flawed that if you get a backache the jury would allow you millions if you sued a pharmacy that sold you drugs that "supposedly" caused this side-affect.
Another bad thing would be American president: has the worst death rate of any American job. Espessially during wartime with all the bad propaganda.

Reminds me of a job I had, standing on a street corner holding a sign. At least cleaning up mayo is mentally challenging

IMHO the worst job ever is the guy that watches the coke cans go by at the end of the coke botteling factory!

I've run a soundboard for the past four years, and that is VERY much true. The only feedback we get is negative -- pun very much intended.

My first paying job was to spend a weekend cleaning up after police horses at a downtown outdoor basketball tournament. It was actually quite enjoyable - I hung around in the air-conditioned police RV that served as headquarters until a horse cop radioed in for my servies, then I went and cleaned it up. It isn't all that messy or smelly, and I got paid well.

My job (sales assistant) is pretty high on the inanely boring list, but at least its not disgusting (unless you count have to sell the Daily Mail).
Leather tanner. You spend all day around skins lying out to be cured, your skin is stained purple, and the reek of tannin never leaves you. Your life expectancy also drops something like 25 years due to lung conditions and cancer, IIRC. Perhaps things are done differently these days, but that's how it used to be.
Also, being an untouchable in India and doing anything can't have been too fun.

For me, it would be surgeon. The fact that I'm not at all comfortable with the sight of blood combined with the enourmous level of responsibility, severe stress and emotional strains that must also come with the job would make it a living hell, I think. Even though the pay is fantastic.
