Waiting tables. This is why I tip so well. The patience and grace under pressure is immense.

It's not 'patience and grace under pressure': it's swallowing your pride so you don't get fired. Servers can't answer back in the way they are spoken to, and that's why we should stop calling people who a***e servers some wishy-washy version of 'not very nice people'. They are hateful bullies who a***e their power to make a humiliation out of what should be a source of pride for a person :- earning their own living.

Teaching. You cannot trust me to educate the next generations. I would be a good teacher, but I would lose my mind and snap due to all the slang future generations will come up with.

Real estate, and probably everything that has to do with sales.
I tried it years ago, as a real estate agent during college. I am unable to trick people and instead of lying with a nice smile on my face, I used to tell them of the hidden issues of the houses/ apartments they intended to buy. Many of the customers were thankful (especially since some of the houses had serious legal issues), but I got kicked out anyway 😄
In the meantime, new laws brought significant improvements for the real estate transactions in terms of customers' protection. But I still believe I'd be terrible at this job.

Call recording is usually done automatically by a system linked to the one that dials the number, but only a percentage get listened to (normally 5% or 10% depending on the agency), so you might get away with it for quite a while :)

I would be terrible at all jobs, except for Server Administrator and / or Pop Culture Useless Trivia Expert. Long ago, I could have made a decent farmer, but I'm too old for that now. Everything else, I would be a complete disaster.
