I'm looking for a part time job thats physically laborious. I used to be a part time baggage handler and that was tough. What's the most physically laborious job you've ever had?
Laborious.

I have a standing offer to shovel elephant shit every time Ringling Bros comes to the Patriot Center. Those pachyderms can spit out some huge loads. They tried to give me the job of cleaning out the lion cages but I aint no fool.

laying patios in the summer for $5 an hour. the hard part of course was digging it out and doing the lifting and hauling off of the slabs.

stocking sheetrock for apartment complex construction.

Installing fences.
Posthole diggers and shale bars are not my friends.

Try delivering water. Or paper if they still do that these days. Carrying shingles up a ladder all day is fun too.

Worst I ever had was running a baby jack hammer for about 4 - 6 hours a day standing in knee to waist deep water with a current to it doing bridge piling repairs. I don't care who you are that will just plain kick your ass.

Ramp Agent at Dulles Airport - offloading TACA flights with their daggone floppy suitcases each holding 80 lbs of cheese.

I've carried shingles up the ladder before and it isn't pretty. Thought I was going to die. Middle of August and the temp was pushing 100 degrees. Filled sandbags and built bunkers in Nam until my hands were bleeding. Not fun either.

Landscaper/Plant nursery gopher. Spent an ass hot summer working at a plant nursery watering all of the plants, loading bags of mulch, seed, manure, etc. into cars, loading trees/plants onto the trucks. Then, when someone would call out hungover sick, I had to go on the crews and help dig holes for trees, plant, lay patios/retaining walls. This was back when white trash did this type of work and those hillbillies were always drunk/hungover on a Thursday or Friday. For $4.25 and hour. It fucking sucked.

In northern Virginia, you have to stand outside a 7-11 in Dale City or Manassas if you want someone to offer you a physically demanding job.

Driving a panel van delivering produce throughout NOVA. That was in the 70's. Had to go to Eastern Market at 0 dark 30 then head out to every fracking Hardees and Tippy Tacos in the area. Also had to wrap several hundred potatoes in foil first then deliver those to places. We would wrap those taters in foil so the place could just throw them in the oven. We never cleaned off that Idaho dirt. I'm sure its changed but think about that next you eat the skin of your potato. Of course if the place you are eating at serves the baked tater in foil then it's a pretty low rent joint

Acting like I am busy in my government job cubicle. Once the AC went out and I got a paper cut, never forget that day.

Hauling thousands of cases of 16-oz returnable cases of Coke bottles in the 70s. Damn they were heavy (when full).

Doing minor auto repairs. Wrestling tires on and off cars. Also changing the oil during the summer when the oil is boiling hot. No matter how careful you are some oil always runs out and down your arm. You could lose five pounds a day sweating under a car.

Try UPS loading packages they are always hiring around here

Carrying the water for Obama.

Not mine but a friend of mine told me about his summer job during
college in Pittsburg. He worked in a mushroom factory and it was his
first job to unload horse manure off trucks with a shovel
and pitchfork and fling it into wheelbarrows the other workers would
deliver to the individual growing drawers. It was in a warehouse that
was totally dark inside and they wore carbide lamps on their headgear
so they could see where they were going. After a month he was promoted
to wheelbarrow operator and then picked up loads of manure instead of
shoveling off the truck. This job paid .25 cents more per hour so he
was happy at first but he was a philosophy major and started questioning
his purpose in life then realized it was going to be transporting shit in
the dark. He graduated from college with a 4.0 gpa and went on to be a
cab driver.

Not sure if it is the most laborious but I see the guy driving the truck that goes around and empties the portable toilets. Whatever they pay him its not enough.

Getting a two story cross ready and soaked in turpentine is hard work, especially if you have to tie nooses afterwords. Of course, that's part of what being a senator and member of the Ku Klux Klan is all about-hard work.

Yeah, did that for RC cola on port royal road when I was a kid in the late 70's when they put a ban on non-returnable bottles for a year or two. Every now and then someone would drop a case and I would have to clean up all the busted glass and grape nehi. I was so sore I could barely move after the first couple days. By the end of the summer I was in great shape.

I don't know about the rest of you but the asshole posting the picture of the picture of he idiot with the flag on his forhead is just about as anoying as the idiot posting the picture - he thinks that he is being cool and funny and really is just a loser.

Go away and get lost you fucking loser - post your crap on your own website and eat shit - nobody appreciates your input asshole.

Nice try but you're clearly the guy posting the Obama girl pictures. Face it, your schtick was funny at first, but now no one cares anymore so you make up fake responses from "butthurt liberals". Its gettin' old, bro.

Humping a 136 lb mortar plate along with a 150 lb ruck, gear, weapons, and ammo up hill in very steep mountain terrain and desert heat while sweating through my underwear and getting shot at by stinky illiterate third world peasants who fuck goats, donkeys, and young children because we need to save them.

No - the real winners are the thousands and thousands who did the same thing or are doing it now.

Whatsa job.....ummmm

2 tough summer jobs I had were: masonry laborer and house painter.

masonry laborer consisted of carrying piles of bricks/blocks and setting them up for the masons to lay. Also had to mix concrete in a wheelbarrow and roll it over for them and adjust it so it's always in arms reach while they're working. That was really tough, but my forearms looked like Popeye's by the time I quit.

House painter for University Painters. This really sucked, but I had a great crew. This was for exterior paint only, those damn 30 ft ladders suck when you climb up and there's a wasp's nest or something around where you're working. Also, got my earlobes almost burned of in the sun so bad I had scabs on them. After finishing a house, we then had to make cold calls, walking around the neighborhood soliciting.

Landscaper by far was my worst labor intense job. Especially on a 90 degree day. Sweat burning your eyes and your arms about to give out.

Yep. I did the same every summer through high school and college. At the Jersey shore north of Seaside Heights there are these old towns, Bay Head, Point Pleasant, that were created in the late 1900s and early 20th Century. There are huge Victorian-style homes by the beach and on the bay. With the salt water and the salty air you need to repaint them pretty much every year or every other year.

These gingerbread houses are 3 and 4 stories high with crazy roof lines. Painting the overhangs was like rock climbing and the temperatures on the hot roofs during summer was intense. Looking back on it now I would hate to have to do this kind of work again. I don't mind painting rooms, but the exterior work like this was a pain in the butt. I tip my hat to anyone I see doing roofing, window cleaning or exterior painting to this day. Its alright when you are young, but I would hate to do it now that I am older.

One summer I worked a fishing boat for 3 months. Hauling pots and lines all day is some serious hard work. You work until you can't stand up anymore and it is heartbreaking when you don't catch much.

Damn these are some good stories here. The most physically demanding job I ever had was a lifeguard which is nothing compared to what people here have been through. You do have to move deck chairs around and set shit up for swim meets and spend the whole day outside which is somewhat taxing.

Still I was 17-19 at the time, spent most of the day drunk and/or high (as did all the lifeguards, and I DON'T condone what I did) and, most importantly, was able to cool off in the pool any time I felt like it.

I even saved a girl once who was drowning when I was stoned...once I realized what was happening.

HA!!!

Ditch digging and pulling MCM wire.

Meade's roadie

Worked in stinky hot sewage treatment plant. Highlights were- Power washing the sludge buckets for hours, scraping endless amount of shit off pumps, shit splashing in your face and sometimes inside your mouth, filling trucks up full of tamponds and sweating a gallon a day in 100 degree plus main lines going into the plant wich smell like diarehea.

We might have a winner here. What year and how much were you compensated for your efforts if you don't mind me asking?

Once the flushed tampons reach the sewage treatment plant then what happens to the tampons? How do you get rid of them?

Most physical and painful laborious job I had was when I was on the toilet and half the package got stuck on its' way out. Felt like the muscle gave out to "push".

I'm not kidding here, it was laborious and painful to get the rest of the package out!!! Even the toilet had problems of dispensing the package!!!

Friends say I'm full of shit and I guess they are correct.

Guess around 7.50 a hour back in the early 1990.lol. Just a kid trying to pay for college at the time. One shitty job!

Tamponds, TP and the ocasional rock solid shit ( must have realy hurt coming out) were were picked up by a grate/conveyor belt into a hopper then dried out and then loaded onto a dump truck. I swear the heaviest flow of tamponds was around the 17th of each month and mornings were the worst.

Were you able to cop a feel while you saved her?

She was 13 so I didn't really try. She was black too!

Fluffer, porn film set.

So you had a baseplate that weighed 8 pounds more than a complete M2 50 caliber machine gun(barrel and tripod)? Last time I checked, base plates were 30 pounds. Not to mention heavy items are spread load amongst a squad so one guy doesnt get screwed. If you're humping 286 pounds... You're not a tough guy, you're a liability. An imagined liability. Cool story bro.

In other news my hardest job was as a Marine EOD tech. I had to hump around all day with 1,776 pounds of c4 on my back uphill both ways with desert rats snapping at my heels. But I did it for your freedom! Now bow down or carry on!

Counting my gold bullion coins.

The above comment was in response to this load of

taking out and replacing fiberglass insulation in a tight but large crawlspace that was wet without tearing the insulation (for pest control). without any safety measures and with fiberglass getting in my wet clothes and was a kid at the time.

definitely worst job i was paid to do.

last year. had to get off a roof without help and ladder was not right. wasn't sure i'd make it had to balance on the razor's edge. maybe scariest job. but not really a job i wasn't paid. correction: only people ilkely to help first had harassed and maybe tried to make me fall off ladders: i'd rather have taken fate in my own hands.

but many jobs have put me at the razors edge of maybe not making it through. or even threatened me. for instance - having a car that might fall on me someone else racked. many jobs have dangers.

harrrdest most sweaty? mmm. dunno have to think.

i'm sure my hardest jbos were by family or taken on byself rather than by boss and pay actually

Target stocking shelves or ups or unloading trucks? well. that's hard but not a "hardest". and it depends on who you are, totally, what your mileage is.

The most physically demanding job I ever had was a roadie for a major recording artist. The artist was the one and only Meade Skelton. I was with him from 2008-2012 from. I was very involved with setting up the stage and tearing down the stage after his shows. Going from city to city was very strenuous and very demanding.

I was also in charge of catering for the band. The food requests were through the roof. Making sure to satisfy the band and Meade were very difficult. Making sure the band had hamburgers, Kripsy Kreme donuts, ice cream, fried chicken, mashed potatoes etc. I was let go after a back injury in 2012. I hurt my back by lifting very heavy jugs of sweet tea. It was a good experience and a great resume a builder.

Tarring roofs, although doing archaeology in the sun is no picnic. Did one dig in a corn field along the Dan river and as the summer wore on, it got hotter and the corn got taller. Tall corn = no breeze - it got so bad they instituted a rule that anybody who needed to could go sit in the Dan anytime, no questions asked.

Then again, I knew a guy who did crime scene cleanup for a bit. That's worse.

That's not really a job, per se. It's not like people are archaeologists because they responded to a job ad in order to pay some bills.

I actually do need someone to deliver water throughout the DC metro. My custom made water weighs about 8lbs a gallon and I'm usually dropping off 15 gallons per client site.

No carts allowed and I'm going to time you. Slave wages for qualified applicants.

Roughing in plumbing on new buildings and residences in the Deep South during summer.

Ranch hand at a horse farm. Mucking the horse shit in the stables when its 110. More flies than you can ever imagine. Smell of horse shit and stubborn horses that would step on your feet, they can weigh 900 pounds, if you were not careful when cleaning their hooves. You had to watch them, yes horses bite and can easily take off a finger. The bigger ones could knock you over. While you are feeding them on one end they are shitting non stop out the other.

If there was a plus it was watching some of the hot women in their riding habits.

I was a stable boy at the Sweetbriar college when I was young. One night I nailed three different chicks in the hayloft. I was buying condoms like crazy.

It is a tossup between these two jobs: a third shift Short Bay Steel Grinder in a mill or The Bicycle Safety Instructor for Summer Camps.
