Pics of the part of your job that sucks the most....EXCLUDING HUMAN SUFFERING!

I used the general term "I do HVAC" when asked what I do. But the longer answer is I mainly work in restaurants specializing in commercial cooking equipment and refrigeration, along with HVAC. I had to pull out a drawer cooler with a grill sitting on it this morning to get to the compressor compartment that in the back. In the pics you see the panel that I needed to access. Not a lot of fun. If any one claims to be real picky about food and eats out anywhere I just laugh to my self. This is not unusual in my 30 year experience on any equipment hard to pull out. Please share pic of the shitty part of the job.

 

Health inspector doesn't check down there?

 

I wish I could unsee that

 

I learn so many non-truck things here.

 

I have worked as an ER nurse for 15 years. So.......yeah I have stories and mental images. Nothing I can share here unfortunately

 

Wtf

 

Dear lord.

 

Sorry, no pics, just description, for me working the railroad with OTC (On Track Equipment) when hydraulic lines bust, sprays all over machine, then you can't see where it's coming from from, so you have to have another set of eyes see when you turn hydraulics on, then get In that area to change the hose, so you get wet with hydraulic, some parts are so gunked up with grease work clothes, arms covered up with old grease, yeah I like it

 

I did a lot of that in the past, but no more.
The worst work environment these days are small dank well houses, filled with all sorts of nasty critters large & small. I'll return to this well house in a week or so to swap out an old filter for a new one, this large spider watched me work last time.

 

That's an intense job. I bet you have some stories. I've been veterinarian for 19 years. Most people probably don't want to see what I've seen. But, with the bad comes a whole lot of good.

 

Lol, they
check dish machine temps, food temps, door gaskets, and make sure food things are labeled correctly. If a health inspector was more like a technician and moved things places would close left and right. If they carried a screw driver and removed the front cover of an ice machine no gas station soda machine would be in use.

 

That is the only way to think if it really bothers you. It's every where.

 

OMG stop it, just let me live in my clean bubble.

 

No pics but two things stand out from early in my welding career. First was when I had just entered the trade. The company I worked for then got the refurbishment contract for the local wastewater treatment plant. Working on scaffolding right above the sewage water and the humidity in the building was nasty. I'd drive home after work with all the windows open, have a 30 min shower and I could still smell it.

Second was just a lousy part of being a welder in the field. Air-arc gouging pile caps off while lying underneath a compressor building on a remote site in the pouring rain. Of course, drainage on the site sucked and the water would run under and pool underneath the buildings. Cold, wet, and muddy for a week straight...

 

Similar to @Pudge , HIPPA prevents pictures. I work in a surgery clinic. Lots of wonderful wounds and infections

 

Oh I will never tell you where these are. Just shearing the fun times.

 

Few years ago stores started putting the ice machine on top of the soda machine so employees did not have to fill ice bin on top any more. Now it is out of sight and out of mind. What 80% on ice machines look like inside.

 

Damn, it’s stuff like this that makes me reluctant to get back on the field. Every summer I get the itch to run calls again.
Obligatory pic of what I always ran into.
Homeowner states they “always” change their air filters....

 

pics of the part of your job that sucks the most

How do I take a picture of other people's inherent stupidity manifesting in lack of forethought? Half of my day is spent putting out fires.

 

That’s going to change my purchasing decisions now

 

That used to be my job when I did low voltage work. Lots of tight, hot attic spaces. I think the worst part was all the roofing nails sticking me in the back and head.
I got my pants stuck one time doing a security job. I was splayed out squeezing under one roof line trying not to fall thru the drywall and my pants hooked bad on a gusset plate. I had to kick my shoes off, brace myself, reach down and undo my belt and crawl out of my pants. I walked over in my boxers and got my wire, then went back and unhooked my pants. That was a super itchy day.

 

Not my job but something to relate when you think you have the worse...

The worst part of my job is knowing my customer is wrong and not being able to tell them. Also, I make suggestions that would save them money and they don't take them.

You can lead a horse to water...

The next time I get a nasty email I'll post a screenshot.

 

Or "what air filter" from a renter.

 

I'm a distiller, spontaneous fermentation. The ground is usually blue.

 

Check your voicemail... might be your boss.

 

I worked in a bar, kitchen was disgusting behind appliances. Food was still great.

 

Gotta be the weather for me.

 

Ok ill share one pic from work, not really of my work but the result of something that happened at work. Was wrestling with a psychotic patient and I blew out my knee. The orthopedic Dr fixed me up really good and my new knee is as good or better than the one I was born with
