As soon as summer heats up, most of us are ready to go on adventures. We’re jetting off or hopping in the car to discover new places and spend some time in the fresh air and sunshine. But for the teenagers and young entrepreneurs out there, these few months of freedom are also the perfect opportunity to put a little extra cash in their pockets. Whether to save up for their first car or spend it all on long-awaited concert tickets, teens are sizzling with expectations.

However, a low-wage gig is usually rough. After all, it’s work. During the summer! And most of the time, it involves punishing hours, rude customers, and grueling manual labor. So no wonder these memories stay with us long after we collect our nickels and dimes. And they immediately came back after Jimmy Fallon asked Tonight Show viewers: "It's Hashtags time! Tweet out a funny, weird, or embarrassing story about a bad summer job and tag it with #WorstSummerJob."

People delivered some hilariously painful tales from the times they spent clocking in hours in the scorching heat, and we at Bored Panda have gathered some of the best ones. Scroll down to read the funniest responses and share your own experiences with us in the comments! Then be sure to check out even more amusing stories from Fallon’s recent challenges on #PromFail, #NanaQuotes, and #MyHighSchoolWasWeird.

    Wait. You’re in high school, you’re old enough to get a part-time job … but somehow you’re not free to pick what job you want?? That’s definitely not okay. Even if you’re still living at home, you’re still entitled to your liberties. To be forced into a job with family? Considering it’s not what you want to do, that’s borderline enslavement. 🤔

    When I was 13 I used to babysit the neighbor kids during the day. One Friday she asked me if I could come back for Friday night date night. She was newly divorced and was seeing a new guy. They came home around midnight, payed me, and watched me walk home. (Only 4 houses away) Before I shut the front door I heard gunshots! The jealous ex-husband had been waiting for them to get home. He shot her new boyfriend to death, within minutes of me walking out the door!😬

    Whether you ever stocked grocery stores or landed a position as a lifeguard at the pool, you know how dreadful these jobs can be. While those experiences lead to the person we are today, our memories often carry a fair amount of icy moments too. Although many excited teenagers feel let down when their part-time positions fail to live up to their expectations, they sure make for entertaining stories.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    So this recent hashtag challenge was all about the funniest and weirdest #WorstSummerJob stories. To kick the thread off, Jimmy Fallon started by tweeting: "My friend went on a really bad Tinder date one night. She went on a job interview a week later and her date was giving the interview. In both situations, there was no follow-up meeting."

    However, it turns out that people over on Twitter definitely had it worse. Some of the responses include real gems such as fighting ducks while trying to clean a small island and watching jars of jam traveling on a conveyor belt for 8 hours straight. If you’re looking for a job right now, these stories can certainly give some food for thought for your future choices.

    Pharmacies are often located inside what might be considered a general store. The main register usually has cigarettes behind the counter. Separate register from where they fill your medications.

    But however terrible some summer jobs can be, they are often seen as a rite of passage for many kids who set out to learn more about the world and learn some valuable life lessons along the way. According to a blog post on KidsHealth, these temporary gigs have plenty of benefits and can teach people valuable life skills.

    First, they provide teens with the opportunity to develop and improve their interviewing skills. And the more jobs they apply for, the better they will get once they seek out to get their one-of-a-kind dream job. Moreover, it can benefit them while trying to get into college as well.

America is literally going through horrible inflation RIGHT NOW and they're acting like it's impossible that it could happen here and has never happened. There's so much poverty here and we might as well face reality that we are far from a great country where no one is homeless or going hungry etc even while working their asses off. I'd say the majority of Americans are only a few emergencies and spaces away from poverty and/or being homeless

    My first job was as a dishwasher at a breakfast food restaurant on the weekends in 1977 when I was 14 and there was a minimum wage of $2.30 an hour. The federal minimum wage has been around since I think after WWII. I saved enough money after a year to buy my first car (a 1968 VW Bug) but still has to wait a year to LEGALLY drive it.

    I worked for these 2 old ladies who ran an antique store. The 1st day they had me working in the shop and on the register and what not, all cool, very nice. 2nd day, they've got me weeding around the property and digging up the garden. Now, I'm 15 years old, not wearing gloves, and knew nothing about how to identify poisonous plants like poison oak, poison ivy, or poison sumac - guess who got exposed to and covered by all 3?! Oh, and did I mention that I get REALLY bad reactions to the oil to the point that I have to get steroids? Yup. That was fun. And then they were angry that I didn't come into work while I looked like a zombified meth addict with weeping, itchy sores all over me!

    I worked at an instant oatmeal factory. My gloves came off into the product in the process and we had to stop the line so I could get new gloves (cardboard cuts are worse than paper cuts!) my boss said not to worry because the system shoots out any issues with weight. Guess what? That box made it to a store somewhere, somehow. I thought I was going to get fired. Boss says “yeah, this doesn’t usually happen but some consumer is about to get a ton of free stuff when they complain about your gloves.” It ended up not being a bad job after all.

    I worked at an olive factory watching a conveyor belt that sorted olives by size. They got deposited into 1000 liter containers. Sometimes the forklift drivers couldn't hear me when I'd yell at them to replace the containers. I kept all the pits from the olives I ate on the job to throw at them when they weren't paying attention to me.

    When I was training to become a train driver I was driving the ore train while it got emptied. Normally you put in the speed holder and overlooked the situation. Very boring, but this time the emptying took much longer than usual, something was broken, so we had to drive even slower and it took even longer. A tiny bird jumped on the rail in front of us and walked faster than we drove. Often stopping to look back with a smug face, then it'd shake its tail feathers and walk a bit further. A real a*****e.

    Not nearly as bad as your experience (thankfully), but I worked at a local grocery store as a cashier. One summer a lady came to my check out lane wearing a bikini top and shorts. She pulled her money out of her top and it was soaking wet. I was hoping it was from swimming and not sweat. Needless to say I went to wash my hands immediately afterwards. I know she saw the terrified look on my face.

    Another skill young adults gain is familiarizing themselves with rejection and getting better at coping with it. "You may not get the first job you interview for," they wrote. "Rejection happens in life and it can be hard to handle. The more we face rejection, the easier it becomes to move forward and bounce back." Then, stepping out of your comfort zone and putting yourself out there leads to learning something new about yourself. So teens who set out to find a new job can learn new skills and discover new interests. "If you need to save money, you may learn that commitment is necessary to reach your goals. If nothing works out? You may decide to start your own business."

    And, most importantly, new jobs can help grow stronger as a person, build self-confidence, and make people feel good about themselves. These new skills teens learn during their first job experiences can open new doors for future opportunities and, of course, look great on their résumés.

    One summer when I worked at Girl Scout Camp we had a camper who fought with everyone and was horrible to the counselors. She claimed she was a twin and that her sister hadn't been allowed to come because she was acting badly. I'm still not sure if she made up an even worse twin sister because if twin was worth, I really wouldn't have wanted to meet her.

    Boy Scouts. Summer camp. The train from Raton home. Source: I worked those trains, and when I knew there was a 13-car (the designation for the position in the consist) full of Boy Scouts on their way home, I refused to enter that car. I'd peek through the window to make sure there wasn't any overt violence, but I wasn't being paid nearly enough to set foot in that car. Also, it was SOP that when we had groups of Boy Scouts, that car would be switched out of the consist, and left out in the back 40 with all doors open, for at least 48 hours, before any cleaning began.

    I did ARMY Cadets as a young teen, but it was mixed gender. Girls and boys were in separate ends of the main camp, though. Girls were nasty and boys were pervs. I had to snap at the girls and tell them to stop fat shaming one of the female cadets and I smashed a pair of the boy's binoculars with a rock because he was using them to watch the girls getting dressed. Luckily for me, the CUO knew me well enough to know that I don't do anything without a very valid reason, so he let me off for both the snapping and the breaking of the binoculars.

    So you took a job, then asked the conditions? Btw 6am is nothing. I was homeless so took a job delivering papers. We had to be at the warehouse by 11p to sort our papers, put the inserts in them, and bag them if it was going to rain or snow. Papers had to be delivered no later then 4am. I had 3 routes totaling just under/just over (some people only got Sunday papers) 1000 papers. It was almost 600miles. No holidays, no days off, no health insurance.

    Young people seem to see the benefits summer jobs can provide because according to Pew Research Center, teen summer employment is on the rise. After facing a drop after Covid-19, many businesses tried to get back on their feet and hired almost a million more teens in 2021 than in the summer of 2020.

    As Drew DeSilver, a senior writer at Pew Research Center explained, last summer was the strongest in years for U.S. teenagers seeking work, when more than 6 million teens had a paying job for some part of the summer. "Accommodation and food services, arts and recreation, and manufacturing were among the sectors leading the teen hiring surge," he added.

    Luckily, economists are sharing predictions that this year, we should see a strong job market for young adults as well. "If that pans out, it would continue a turnaround from the low-water mark of 2010 and 2011 and suggest that the plunge in teen employment during the first pandemic summer of 2020 was an anomaly."

    Makes me think of the guy at the gate to the parking lot for the local zoo. He used to collect parking money, then when they went to prepaid he checked to make sure you had a parking pass printed out. Now it's all paid at the zoo entrance alongside your entry ticket but he's still there, sitting at the gatehouse saying "you're good. You're good. You're good." to each car as he waves them past.

    DeSilver pointed out that in 2020, many places that usually employ teens during the summer either completely shuttered or minimized their operations as much as possible due to the pandemic. This meant that the teenagers who often lack experience and skill in a specific area became a less important source of workers for companies. Although last year, when the world started slightly opening up, many of them were facing labor shortages and practically begging for workers to help them out with the needed tasks.

    Picking anything on a farm is STILL hot, shitty, backbreaking work. Even in this day and age the piece rate for sweet potatoes in North Carolina averages 45 cents per 35 pound bucket. Average productivity for a worker is about 15 buckets per hour, which means that during an 8-hour workday, a worker will produce 120 buckets of sweet potatoes (or 4,375 pounds of sweet potatoes!). According to the 45 cents piece rate, a worker would receive only $6.75 an hour, which is less than North Carolina’s $7.25 minimum wage. And about one-third of the nation’s farm workers work on small farms, and these are not subject to federal law surrounding minimum wage.

    The 2022 summer job outlook for American teens published by the Drexel University Center for Labor Markets and Policy last month explained that despite the rapid pace of job creation, there were 1.19 million fewer jobs in April 2022 than in February of 2020, a month before the outbreak of COVID-19.

    I had one summer job bathing dogs at a Dog Groomer. I got paid per dog. Sometimes we were very busy and sometimes we sat all day long. One of the groomers only showed up when she felt like it. The owner was almost as bad. They were both tweaking on something. That groomer was pretty rough with the dogs. I ended up holding them while she groomed which kept her from smacking them around and kept me from making any money. I worked for them for 3 weeks and didn't get paid. Mom went to the owner's house and collected my check. The gal had the nerve to tell me, 'Well, you know this means you no longer have a job.' Duh! I worked for 3 weeks and got a $14 check. Nah, see ya.

    "However, given the unprecedented labor shortage experienced across the U.S., particularly in industries where teens typically work, teens have a higher probability of being hired by employers," the researchers wrote. They predicted that the summer job market for teens this year will be strong, with an employment rate for 16- to 19-year-olds to be 32.8 percent, the highest since 2007.

    "Employers suddenly rediscovered teenagers," Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor economist at Northeastern University, told The New York Times. She explained that while young people from low-income families might have a harder time finding summer work due to there being fewer opportunities where they live, summer youth employment programs can help.

    She stressed that teenagers and students should be opportunistic and look for a job that fits their needs by asking for a higher wage, a better schedule, or negotiating their responsibilities. "This summer, you have an opportunity to be choosy," Ms. Modestino said.

    I quit my first job at KFC over this. Every employee would get average 2-3 shifts a month cleaning the restaurant - collecting trays, wiping tables aaaand keeping toilets clean. It was near town centre so everybody used it as public toilets and it was about as disgusting as you can imagine. It was my cleaning shift that day and manager called me at the start of the shift and told me to be careful because the girl in previous shift accidentaly impaled her finger on used syringe when emptying the bins. I just walked out.

    Sometimes kids just spontaneously start vomiting, the parents might not have realized anything was wrong when they sent the kid in in the morning. Also, sometimes a parent is faced with the choice of sending their sick kid to daycare, or staying home with them and getting fired. It sucks, but it's understandable.

I had one of those to didn't make it the full month before I gave up. Not because if the walking, but ecause they wanted me to scam people (they wanted me to get them to subscribe to 15 a moth for the red cross. Then we where to tell them after a hear Tthyey can cancel the subscriptions. The company I worked for, got from the red Cross the equivalent of the first year subscription, ams gave the door people 50 percent Half now, half 6 month later. And if the subscriber cancelled at the year point, the red Cross would get nothing. It felt so shitty doing it.

    I don't know, do you think the owner would mind the arterial blood spurts pumping out of his knees when they climb back up the ladder or do you think maybe he should get this sewn up first in the ER?

    Note: When an employer gives you the option to “quit or get fired”, they are probably trying to avoid paying your unemployment .(In the US, if a business fires you without good cause, they are on the hook for a portion of your unemployment check.)

    Not after 2 days though. You have to have worked somewhere for a while to qualify for unemployment.

    I had this job when I was 16! I wasn’t there for the corn, but did pick sticks, rocks, bugs, and occasionally sliced snake segments out of the green beans that rolled by. It was 2nd shift from 4 pm until whenever the trucks stopped coming, sometimes 2 am. I was the only teen, the other workers were middle aged or older women.

    I would say it's probably agaisnt the law to not allow outside fior or drinks in. Like when you have a person who is diabetic or has other restrictions. Its an amusement Park, it's the whole day, not a 2 hour movie in a clima Co trolled room. So much can go wrong. Also, the company is at fault not the poor security peoeple, who probably wherent alloved to drink inthe heat either.

    Worked as a care attendant to a man who was paralyzed from the neck down. He moved into his girlfriends house nearly an hour away (was married). I was the only one willing to make the drive to help him out until he could find new help. Worked nearly two weeks before he died 10 hr days. He died two days before payday and I never got payed for that time because I would have been forced to get his wife and daughter to sign the paperwork at the funeral (only time I would see them).

    If I remember right the pay rate at the time was just over $12 an hour so not including taxes that was about $1,500 I didn't get paid plus the extra in gas I payed for plus he had promised to throw me a little extra for the drive and gas which clearly never happened. I stayed an extra two hours with her kids while she went to the hospital with him in the ambulance. I was driving home near 1 in the morning after girlfriends mom finally showed up to watch the kids (8 & 13). That's when his son called to let me know he had died in the hospital.

    I remember a time when I was feeling bad for buying freaking toilet paper (as a teen) At the same time there was this advertisement in German TV where a cashier asks loud what the condom cost, ans the one old lady answers a prove, while another middle aged customer answers a corrected pice as they are in specula price that week. All over a 18/29 year old loocking guy that was so embarrassed at the beginning and learned to not be embarrassed for protecting himself Ans others.

    I worked as a cleaner at a public pool when I was 14. People would stick poopy diapers to the changing room walls or poop on the floor. There were bathrooms 10 feet in either direction, but no, make the only girl have to clean your s**t. I would have to close the changing room and get a hose and spray cleaner and spray down the whole room.
