10 horrible jobs in the world. Worst professions in the world. Intestinal gas analyzer

12.08.2020

Marin from Canada got hired at a safari park. His task was to move by car between the zones of the zoo. The monkeys have always climbed onto the roof of the car and enjoyed the free ride. At the exit from the monkey zone, there was an employee armed with a long pole, who was supposed to prevent the monkeys from leaving the territory along with the car. Also a wonderful job: under the hot sun, chasing monkeys for eight hours.

Highway Corpse Cleaner

The task is simple, but its implementation is difficult. It is important not only to scrape off the pieces of the bodies of dead animals from the asphalt, but also not to become a victim of traffic yourself.

Cat food quality control

Briton Jon Hanson, in his own opinion, worked at the worst job: the quality controller of cat food. According to his description, the job consisted of three checks. First: stick your nose into a large container of cat food and smell if it's fresh. Secondly: dip your hands in there to the elbow, look for pieces of bones and select them. Third: take a full handful of food, smear it on the surface and pass it through your fingers to determine if there is too much cartilage.

Gastric Estimator

In mouthwash companies, odor controllers are a fairly common job. But Minneapolis gastroenterologist Michael Levitt took this work to a new, slightly lower level. He hired two brave people to sniff the winds of other people. (Levitt declined to specify the amount of pay, but it is difficult to say what salary would be fair for such work). Sixteen test subjects agreed to eat beans and then insert a test tube into their buttocks. Levitt placed the cans of collected gases in a sealed vessel. After that, the evaluators sat down in front of at least a hundred samples, began to open the lids one by one, inhaled carefully, and with the help of grimaces, rated the smells. Via chemical analysis Levitt's samples identified the most repulsive component of human gases: hydrogen sulfide.

Toilet cleaner

This profession has absorbed the best of the garbage man and the gastroenterologist, and, apparently, is nastier than them combined. While most decent people avoid mobile toilets as much as possible, sometimes they can still save a life. As nasty as they were, it would be much worse if they weren't removed. With the help of a vacuum pipe, the cleaner pumps all the bowel movements from the toilet into the tank. After removing the last piece of paper, all dirty places, including walls, are washed with pressurized water. It usually takes only a few minutes to clean one dry closet, and most workers clean 10 to 60 toilets a day. True, this has its own dangers: without the gravity accumulated at the bottom, the toilet cabin can fall, burying the cleaner under it. But brave cleaners earn up to 50,000 US dollars a year.

Brazilian mosquito explorer

To fight malaria, scientists need to know the feeding habits of mosquitoes that spread it. Native to Brazil, the Anopheles Darling does not flit around fires or go into the wind traps that scientists use in Africa. This little bloodsucker only approaches explorers if they offer themselves as food. In the evenings, when mosquitoes are most active, their explorer finds a place full of insects and presents himself to them in a mosquito net tent with a hole drilled in the bottom. The mosquitoes that stay close to the ground fly in and remain trapped, along with the staunchly seated scientist who sacrifices his skin to science. Every time an insect stings his shin, the owner of the shin drives the mosquito into a jar. Experienced mosquito researcher Helge Zieler served in this way as dinner twice a week. In the best cases, he caught up to 500 Aneopheles in three hours. During this time he was stung in total almost 3000 times or 17 times per minute for 180 minutes. "It's not that scary," Zieler says, explaining that the bite is followed by only a slight itch that goes away after a few minutes. True, sometimes malaria also occurs. Despite preventive medication, Zieler received an infection, which he got rid of only two years later.

Vacuum cleaner

Rakesh Sakhu works in the sanitation department of the city of Kolkata, cleaning the city's sewers. Every day, Rakesh squats to the waist at the bottom of a two-meter sewer pipe, using a pickaxe and a crowbar to collect a denser mass among the waste and excrement, threatening to clog the sewers. Other members of the team pull the bucket filled with it upstairs and throw it out in the middle of the street. Job done, Rahkesh, dirty up to his ears, is hauled upstairs by the hands and the crew trudges to the next hatch. The 27-year-old father of three daughters has been doing this job for 10 years and his monthly income is one hundred US dollars.

animal masturbator

From time to time, people need animal sperm, whether for scientific purposes or for artificial insemination. In this case, you can choose from attractive options: insert an electric stimulator into the animal's butt, use an artificial vagina, or stimulate the desired part of the body with your hand. The first method requires anesthesia and is used primarily in zoos. The second method can only be applied to trained animals. Artificial vaginas are often used on breeding bulls, and this requires both physical strength and nerves of steel with a quick response. Some specialists even ended up in the hospital.

Buckingham Palace Guardian

Buckingham Palace security is one of the hardest jobs in the British Army. Along with standing for many hours in one place, you have to constantly look perfect. Soldiers spend hours every day cleaning and ironing their uniforms and polishing their boots. Before taking up a post, you must undergo an examination, failing which you receive a punishment - for example, an additional watch.

Cleaner in a porno cinema

The work of a janitor is already not very fun. But the janitor at the pornographic cinema is at the top of that list. His task is to go around the whole room with a mop and a rag after the session. I would not like to talk about this work for a long time in a conversation with my mother or wife.

There are many people in the world who go to work every morning as if they were going to Calvary and dream of changing their profession. But these people may not even suspect that there are vacancies in the world, in comparison with which almost any workplace seems like a real paradise.

It also remains to add that most of the "worst in the world" vacancies are low-paid.

1. Collector of animal carcasses

Since road traffic has increased many times over recently, the number of animals that are knocked down on the road by cars has grown so much that special people have become necessary to collect the corpses of these unfortunate little animals. These people are responsible for the detection, removal and disposal of fauna after road accidents.

2 Scarecrow Man

These people dress in old rags and big hats with holes. And they work as living scarecrows, bypassing the fields and scaring away the birds.

3. Observer for drying paint

It turns out that there are even people who are paid to sit and watch the paint dry. This is without a doubt one of the most boring jobs in the world. And the point of this work is to find out how the paint changes color as it dries.

4. Animal masturbator

Since many scientists and researchers are in need of animal sperm, someone is required to supply this product. Is it worth explaining how the sperm of pigs or bulls is obtained.

5. Ceremonial guards

Being a ceremonial guard may seem like a good job, but standing still and with a straight face for long hours in any weather is actually very difficult. In addition, the guards often have to endure annoying tourists who want to take pictures with them.

6. Armpit odor assessor

These people work for cosmetic companies. They are paid to sniff other people's armpits to gauge how different deodorants affect their smell.

7. Breath odor assessor

This job is just as disgusting as the previous one, as the job seekers have to evaluate smells that are usually far from pleasant. Appraisers usually work for toothpaste companies.

8. Dog Breath Estimator

This work is essentially a variation of the previous one. The Dog Breath Evaluator analyzes the smell coming from the dog's mouth to check the effect of their diet on their teeth.

9. Waste water cleaner

Another vacancy really smells bad. The sewage cleaner has to deal with some of the the worst smells everyday. In some less developed countries, sewage cleaners even have to submerge themselves in wastewater and manually remove waste from them that clogged the drain.

10 Mortuary Orderly

Also, these people are called mortuary attendants and autopsy technicians. They are mortuary workers responsible for handling, moving and dressing corpses prior to autopsy.

11. Controller

In fact, it is one of the most hated professions for other people. Not surprisingly, controllers are often attacked by angry stowaways.

12. Ear cleaner

In India, people always have their ears cleaned by a specialist who does just that job. First, the cleaner examines the ear with a brass instrument, and then he removes all the earwax.

13. Pusher

The essence of the work of people in this unusual profession is that they literally push people into a crowded train or subway car at the station during rush hours. This work is especially common in Japan.

14. Florist growing amorphophallus

Amorphophallus titanic or corpse flower - giant flowering plant, common in Sumatra, which is famous for its extremely strong smell, similar to the smell of rotting flesh. While this smell is literally unbearable for most people, some botanists grow these plants in greenhouses.

15. Miner

Miners are known to have a significantly shorter life expectancy than other people as they work in an incredibly dusty, humid and hot environment that constantly negatively impacts their health. In addition, there is also the risk of tunnel collapses and gas explosions.

16. Crime scene cleaner

Only the most hardened people are suitable for this job, as crime scene cleaners are responsible for cleaning up the area after murders, suicides, accidents, etc. The work includes removing blood stains, body parts, bodily fluids, and bloody things.

17. Mosquito bite victim

Several Brazilian researchers voluntarily turned themselves into victims mosquito bites for scientific purposes. They are doing this painful job as part of a project to combat malaria.

18. Animal food taster

Some pet food manufacturers actually pay people to taste their products. Although it may sound disgusting, some pet food is actually quite tasty, even for humans.

19. Growing Grass Watcher

This job is no less boring than watching paint dry. This position is being offered by Home Grass Seed Manufacturers.

20. Target Man

In places such as circuses and fairs, there are often attractions that involve shooting or throwing knives at a target that is on or near the head of a live boy or girl. Needless to say, there are accidents.

21. Crocodile Trainer

In some Asian countries, such as Thailand or Vietnam, a crocodile trainer is quite a common job. It goes without saying that putting your head in the mouth of this predatory animal is an idea for madmen.

22. Intestinal gas odor raters

This profession implies precisely the "enjoyment of aromas" of gases emitted in the process of flatulence. The unfortunate person must sniff the intestinal gas odor samples and rate them according to the intensity of the odor.

23. Manure Inspector

Animal dung is often used as fertilizer to help grow crops. But even this material must meet certain standards. Therefore, all collected manure must be checked by an inspector.

24. Gravedigger

Unsurprisingly, the gravedigger is one of the least popular occupations, but the profession has been around for centuries in most cultures. In fact, even some celebrities have worked as gravediggers, including former president USA Abraham Lincoln and British singer Rod Stewart.

25. Salotop

This is one of the dirtiest jobs in the world, as the salotop renders lard and fat from dead animals. The smells and dirt during this process simply cannot be tolerated by most people.

All of us at least once complained about our work - someone is tired of sitting in the office, someone finds it difficult to communicate with customers in the service sector, and someone just has unbearable bosses. But all this is lost against the background of some other professions that even the most pleasant managers and colleagues will not brighten up.

1. Technician-inseminator

When researchers need animal sperm for certain experiments, the insemination technician comes to the rescue, whose duties include giving animals pleasure for the benefit of science. They may use an electric probe to stimulate the prostate gland through the rectum, use an artificial vagina, or use their hands in the old fashioned way. The first method requires preliminary anesthesia, not to mention immobilization. The second method is not feasible without skill. It is usually applied to breeding bulls, and they are not distinguished by friendliness and delicacy. The third method can only be used on trained, calm animals - otherwise the consequences can be unpredictable.

2 Porn Cinema Cleaner

Only preoccupied teenagers can find pluses in such work, who consider it a free opportunity to watch porn all day for happiness. After the session, the cleaner goes around all the rows and washes the entire hall with a mop.

3 Animal Carcass Cleaner

Most drivers believe that the four-legged animals they kill on the road do not deserve to stop for them, get out of the car and remove the corpse from the pavement. And if we are talking about a small animal, then there is nothing particularly terrible about it. But if the carcass of a cow or an elk remains lying on the road, problems cannot be avoided. So road services hire special workers, instructing them to patrol the tracks and clean up the bloody corpses of downed animals.

4. Recycler of biologically hazardous substances and medicines

Waste from the medical industry in the form of remnants of organs and tissues, syringes, teeth, and so on, does not have the most pleasant appearance and smell. You have to be incredibly non-squeamish to deal with all this. At the same time, a person of such a profession runs the risk of contracting any dangerous virus, for example, from one of the needles.

5. Armpit sniffer

Deodorants are being tested at this job. The test subjects apply the product to the skin of the armpits, and the representatives of this profession sniff it during the day to understand how the smell changes.

6. Gastric Estimator

The profession is not widespread. But the American gastroenterologist Michael Levitt found two volunteers for this vacancy. The subjects ate the beans and then collected their stomach gases in test tubes. The job of the evaluators was to inhale and evaluate the samples. Their number was more than a hundred. Thus, Levitt found out that the most disgusting component of human gases is hydrogen sulfide.

7. Vacuum cleaner

Repairing pipes, cleaning sewers, taking samples of waste, monitoring the process of processing raw sewage - all this is the responsibility of a vacuum cleaner. The work is not only disgusting, but also dangerous: poisoning with toxic gases, hepatitis, the risk of choking or getting an electric shock accompany the sewer at work almost every day.

8. Dry closet cleaner

One of the most disgusting jobs is being a portable toilet cleaner. Using a reservoir and vacuum suction, cleaners must empty the filled tank under the toilet, pick up scattered pieces of used toilet paper, and clean all soiled surfaces, including walls, using a hose that high pressure served hot water. It usually takes several minutes to clean one toilet cubicle. So one professional per day can process from 10 to 60 cabins per day.

9. Cat food quality control

Few people know, but cat food undergoes strict consumer control before it goes on sale. True, the role of the consumer is not a cat, but a person. Briton John Henson claims that his work as a cat food taster was the worst episode of his career. His professional duties include three successive tests. During the first, Henson has to put his face close to the bowl of food and inhale it well to understand how fresh it is. The second test is to check for bone fragments in the feed. To do this, the controller must immerse his hands in the slimy mass and carefully feel it.
And finally, the third test involves checking for the presence of cartilage: Henson scoops up a huge spoonful of food, spreads this substance on a flat surface and sorts through the food with his fingers.

10. Poultry Specialist

Representatives of this profession slaughter chickens every day. Cut off their heads while they hang upside down. In addition to the fact that the smell and sight are not pleasant, there is a huge risk of catching from a bird. whole list all kinds of ailments.

We all know about the guy who got a job as a caretaker/researcher/blogger in one of the heavenly corners of the Earth - this man is the winner of the "Best Job in the World" competition. Following the laws of formal logic, we come to the conclusion that once there is best job, it must be worse. It turns out that there are not one or two such works, there are many of them. Today I propose to get acquainted with a selection of the five most terrible works that you can imagine.

Buckingham Palace guard

In principle, the same, probably, can be said about the sentries guarding the Kremlin. However, most of all it is known about the sentries of Buckingham Palace, who stand guard over the Queen's peace. So, not only do they have to stand for hours, not showing emotions, not smiling, not moving at all. The guys need to live up to this high rank always and everywhere, and they have to spend hours cleaning their uniforms, polishing their boots, constantly preparing for the next show. Any, the smallest misconduct committed by such a soldier, is punished immediately - for example, having to stand on the clock out of turn.

sewer cleaner

In any more or less civilized country, people of this profession are given special equipment / equipment. In any country, yes, but not in India. A representative of this profession is Ramesh Sahu, who has been working as a sewer cleaner in Kolkata, India for over 10 years.

All of his equipment is rubberized red pants, a steel cable and buckets. He also has assistants, as many as two.

By the way, despite such work, Sahu has a wife, three daughters, and, apparently, happiness in life, since he is happy with everything. Of great importance, of course, wage. Its size is about 100 US dollars, which is quite a decent amount for India.

"Tester" of mosquitoes

In Brazil, there is such a position as a mosquito tester, you can’t call it in another way. The thing is that in this country they are constantly fighting malaria, which they still cannot completely defeat. What is such work?

In the evening, when the activity of mosquitoes is maximum, testers sit in special traps for mosquitoes, where they fly in almost hundreds. Within three hours you have to endure all the bites. Of course, this does not have to endure every day - usually mosquito testers work two days a week, which, I think, is enough. A veteran of this profession claims that on other evenings you have to endure up to 500 bites in 3 hours. By the way, researchers are trying to catch mosquitoes that have bitten them, this is also necessary for research - there is special equipment for catching, consisting of a system of tubes.

It is estimated that on average the number of mosquito bites in such work reaches 17 per minute.

cat food tester

Englishman John Henson describes his job as the worst job of his life. It turns out that this person works as a cat food tester. What is the job? A few simple checks need to be done daily:

1. Smell the cat food in the factory, checking if it is fresh;

2. Choose the remains of bones that somehow got into cat food, immersing your hands in this unpleasant mass;

3. From time to time, with a spatula, take samples of cat food, checking if there is a lot of cartilage and other inclusions;

In general, an unpleasant job, you can’t say anything.

Downed Animal Cleaner

We all know that there is crazy traffic on the roads. However, unfortunately, this is not known to animals that always crawl under the wheels of a car. Unfortunately, such cases are quite common, so that in some countries there is such a profession as a cleaner of downed animals. These people constantly go around the territory under their control, removing animals hit by cars.

Probably one of the most frustrating jobs in the world, a cat food tester certainly gets the most out of his job.

Sewer cleaner, India

Indian sewer workers are definitely not to be envied. Their working day is 12 hours, and all this time you have to sit in a hatch filled with waste.
