What's The Worst Job You Ever Had?

It was. Especially when me and my elder brother decided to build an aeroplane.

This may be in danger of derailing the thread. Is there any way of taking the conversation elsewhere?[/quote]

These threads are chronically derailed, usually with like 10 different conversations going on simultaneously.

My worst job is also my favorite and current job, but it has moments that are terrible. I’m a farrier. I nail shoes on horses hooves, the good days are when the horse agrees with me that I’m gonna do that. The days when its the worst job I’ve ever had are when the horses disagrees with my game plan… They don’t happen as often now that I work much quicker than I did when I started, but there will always be rank horses beating on me as long as I do this. No contest to the iron mill though obviously![/quote]

Ever been stepped on? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been careless while picking their hooves only to have them step directly on my foot. Then they just stand there on it. Someday I’ll learn. [/quote]

I have been stepped on while saddling a mule, but it was cause I answered my phone and she wanted my attention. Horses are super aware of there feet, they know when they step on you. Its very bad horse manners. I think if one stepped on me while I was working on him I might just leave that hoof unshod and see how he likes hurt feet haha

Oh right, cool.
On the subject of horses stepping on your foot, a friend used to have on that stood on your foot if you stopped cuddling him and wouldn’t get off. The annoying thing was that he wasn’t a small horse. He was the the largest animal I’ve ever seen, if you don’t count elephants.
Not that he was nasty or anything, he was one of those enormous white geldings with a very calm nature.

No, I’m not offended!

Hmmm, that sounds a bit dangerous. [/quote]

Sturg, communicating with a dude who plays with hammers is ill advised.

He just needs a strong leader and some training.

Oh, and like communicating with you isn’t? lol

Ahem.
Do you fucking mind?
I do not ‘play’ with hammers. I am a craftsman, an artist. I am the fucking Michelangelo of hammers as far as you’re concerned.
For instance, I am currently constructing a 40ft shed for a client, complete with bargeboards, gables and roof-ends, among other features. Stick a gargoyle on and you could call the bastard a cathedral.
You know nothing of my art :frowning:

Titan’s a troll, you wouldn’t know that though because you’re new to the forum but he just goes around stirring up trouble. He seems to target certain people more than others.

Ah. Well fuck him with a paintscraper anyway.
Sorry, I’ll stop feeding him.
I like your doggie.

Thanks but he isn’t mine. I do love german shepherds though and might get one. Does your dog has some type of injury to his/her front leg?

Oh, and that is pretty cool about the shed you built! I would be proud of myself if I could construct a level bird house.

This page is getting a little creepy.

Cool.
He bites his fur. We’ve been to the vet, and we’ve tried everything from medicated shampoo and flea-killer to skullcap and valerian tablets.
I think it may just be anxiety. See, he’s relatively new- we’ve had him for a month and a half and he used to be with a family who sort of mistreated him. He was originally an old lady’s dog, but she died and the family was going to have him put down. My sister and I stepped in. He’s bulking up nicely with regular walks and good food, but we can’t seem to do anything about the fur biting. the only thing that seems to work, funnily enough, is apples. He just loves chewing on them.
He’s a little dude though.

He’s no longer with us, unfortunately :frowning:
when my friend’s mother downsized her herd she sold most of the horses. I think he was probably sold to the stud farm, as he used to get put out to stud a lot. He had racehorse blood, apparently, although we suspect a heavy horse was involved as well.

You and the Welch guy are doing just fine by yourself. I am married.

Hey, what’s creepy about getting on well with people?

Edit: Oh, I see. Well if it is going that way then this is the first time a beautiful(no lie, I saw the pic) woman has spoken to me in weeks. Can you guys possibly see your way to not fucking it up for me? Thanks muchly.

Good interception, Maddox.

There’s only room for one guy on here to have creepy conversations with Sturg.

Sturg is smokin’ hot. She had more pics in her hub but looks to have deleted them all. I’ve been working on getting a bikini shot but she’s not cooperating. Maddox on the other hand was happy to share a picture of himself sportin a bikini.

Their conversation was not creepy at all.

That’s what I thought. Which is more than I can say about this:
