Nod.E Posted 11 June 2015 Posted 11 June 2015 As many have eluded to, I don't know how the surgeons, A&E staff, ambulance drivers etc. of this world do it. Thank goodness people do, but it must be so damaging mentally.Anything repetitive requiring concentration but not engaged thought/usage of the brain would kill me off. I can only really concentrate on something if it interests me. Don't think I could be a Newspaper Editor, for example. So much detail about stuff I couldn't care less about. M&S Titty Fondler

Must be a nightmare being sober at such stupid hours but everyone you speak to is smashed. I even had to deal with drunk chavs on Friday nights working as an usher in a cinema in a provincial town. Ok it wasn't exactly 'Ross Kemp on Gangs' but it could still get a bit nasty at times!
Benguin Posted 11 June 2015 Posted 11 June 2015 Care for someone. Sounds awful to say but wiping someone's arse, changing them and doing all that kid of stuff for next to no money, no chance.
Voll Blau Posted 11 June 2015 Posted 11 June 2015 To someone with no qualifications or desire, no there isn't. But if you walk into an interview with a couple of GCSEs, a can-do attitude and a smile on your face and the job is yours. Sorry fella, that's bollocks. It's not that simple for everyone and fair play to you if you've never been in that position and waltzed into every job you've ever wanted. Besides, as others have said, there's nowt wrong with till work. Criminal Defense Lawyer. No pay is worth defending scum. I'd hate myself if I did that job. Well, what about the ones who weren't actually guilty. Would be a pretty good feeling you'd convinced the jury to free an innocent man. Probably only a minority of those you'd defend would be banged-to-rights megacvnts.
Finnaldo Posted 11 June 2015 Posted 11 June 2015 Anyone dealing with drunk public on a Saturday night. Bouncer, McDonalds or taxi driver. Must be a nightmare being sober at such stupid hours but everyone you speak to is smashed. From October up until March I used to work as a glass collected/washer worker turned barman in a club in Hinckley. It was Fooking awful as you got to 3, normally you'd feel you'd wind down from a job an hour till finish but it just got busier. Wasn't until 4 that you had a clear dancefloor to finish the job which could then take up to 4:30. In the meantime you have to deal with all kinds. I remember on New Years watching this guy off his face try to make the two steps off the dancefloor in which he managed trip, flip, and somehow land on his neck, on only two steps off the dancefloor. First thought was this horrible thought that he could of done his neck in or something awful but with a bit (a lot) of assistance managed to get on his feet and stumble on. There was also a time when a guy fell over the barrier to the top dancefloor and took the 7/8 foot drop to the bottom dancefloor, straight on his back, again I was sh!tting it till he got up and went straight back to dancing. On the flip side, it was generally a good atmosphere, always a couple of fights outside and I remember one incident when I was picking glasses up from a table outside when a fist flew over my shoulder onto the guys on the table, I was out of that pretty quickly But then I also got to know all the bouncers, which meant getting in clubs was a lot easier and meant I didn't have to take ID into town either, which made life a bit easier when I was off duty
Craig Posted 11 June 2015 Posted 11 June 2015 Well, what about the ones who weren't actually guilty. Would be a pretty good feeling you'd convinced the jury to free an innocent man.

Doorman/Police Officers alleged that my client had a knife. CCTV clearly showed that he had no such object. After months and months he has finally been found not guilty. Even when dealing with the less innocent it's still a pretty interesting job.

Its not just about getting them an innocent verdict though i would guess? I'm sure thats a big chunk of it, though.. I would also imagine that its all about having fair and legal representation, ensuring that the law is applied properly and they are charged and prosecuted in a fair and legal way too. Even if someone is presumed guilty and there is overwhelming evidence, they still have a right to a fair trial and to be legally represnted to ensure a conviction can be without doubt and that can only really be done with a balanced trial.
jammie82uk Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 M&S bra measure person... You do know the topic title? With the average age of the people who shop there I wouldn't want to do that job either
Rincewind Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 With the average age of the people who shop there I wouldn't want to do that job either Fair enough I do not browse the ladies underwear dept in M&S myself so would not know.
jammie82uk Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 Fair enough I do not browse the ladies underwear dept in M&S myself so would not know. Haha me neither, I thought it was common knowledge that m&s was for the elder generations but obviously not
Carl the Llama Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 Haha me neither, I thought it was common knowledge that m&s was for the elder generations but obviously not I think when you are the elder generation you just see it as a shop.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 Anyone dealing with drunk public on a Saturday night. Bouncer, McDonalds or taxi driver. Must be a nightmare being sober at such stupid hours but everyone you speak to is smashed. The violent and troublesome ones in the street at night, and holding them prior to arrest, was pretty nerve racking.
DennisNedry Posted 13 June 2015 Posted 13 June 2015 Well, what about the ones who weren't actually guilty. Would be a pretty good feeling you'd convinced the jury to free an innocent man. Probably only a minority of those you'd defend would be banged-to-rights megacvnts. Well yes, I'm sure it is a satisfying getting an innocent person freed. But what about the circumstances where you know your defendant is guilty of something terrible (see the cvnts of our time thread for any number of examples) and having to try and get them off, or get their sentence reduced, or get them out on bail when they're dangerous etc? Couldn't do that job on moral grounds I'm afraid!
