20+ Hilariously Horrible ‘Worst Summer Jobs’
The summer job is a rite of passage for many kids, who are encouraged by their parents to get out of their hair and go and learn valuable lessons about responsibility, the value of money and hard work.
Whether you were saving for a bike, your first car, a prom dress or whatever, we all went in with high expectations of independence and feeling like a proper adult. However those expectations are not always met!
Jimmy Fallon did us all a service by asking people to share their worst summer job experiences in one of his legendary hashtag challenges. Needless to say, there are some absolute classics in there! Scroll down to check out a list of Bored Panda's favorites below, and feel free to share your own in the comments!

Yeah, this one is just sad. I worked a lot in care and the woman probably had dementia. I could list about 100 more [and far worse] of these 'funny' stories but to me they are just sad and it isn't anything special either.

What do you think ?
My first summer job - chambermaid at a local hotel age 14 on 35p per hour (that would buy you 10 cigarettes back then) The owner would "inspect" rooms before we cleaned them and pocket any tips left for us
Miss Cris - leave it somewhere unobvious that the person cleaning will finf
leave the tip under the pillow
with a little note to let them knit is actually for thm
Good idea! Thanks
I currently look after a friend's propert - and am am awestruck an thankful if someone leaves a tip
canadians are lovely - why downvoye them
Generally the Canadians
we would see a £1 note (a mornings wage) or occasionally a £5 note (months wage) dissapear into his pocket
What a bastard! Next time I go to a hotel I' ll do whatever to give tips directly to the person I want to give it.
you really wouldnt believe that age 11 iwas the animal keeper for 5 five fields
it was awful - but one of the best esperiencedof my life
When I was about twelve, an older boy said to me he could blow cigarette smoke out of his ears. He took a cigarette, inhaled, and asked me to push on his tummy with both my hands. I did, and he pushed the burning tip of the cigarette on my hand. I still have the scar to prove it.
I forgot to say it was during my summer job in his parents restaurant. They shouldn't have hired someone that young. I never got payed. It's 50 years ago.
Wasn't it illegal even in those times? What about your family? How could they agree on that?
so he assaulted you with a cigarette? in 2018 that would be a charge. Idk about back then.
we don`t care.....really, we don`t care
This makes me happy I didn;t work summertime jobs xD
