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!

First thing you learn when organising scout camps for kids < 10 years old: once the villain character is exposed to the kids, make sure he either confesses and regrets his evil deeds, or he can run away like Usain Bolt.
Or the villain character must die a traumatic, violent Disney-esque death because he's the bad guy.
Load More Replies...Yes, because punching a wounded bison in the face is a recommended way to kill it.
save me a seat on the roller coaster to hell!
Load More Replies...I’m laughing so hard over this. Sorry it happened but it’s hilarious!
It was an honest job and the boy didn't have to make an interview for it
Not about a summer job but reminds me of the game they made us play(well - it was fun) at our summer camp, basically had to do all kinds of fun tasks our...uh...supervisors?...came up with for points. The one that quickly became a meme was going around the place yelling "Saransk(a city in Russia; the capital of one of the regions, Mordovia, but fairly unknown to the rest of the county; apparently a lot of them were from there) is the capital of Russia!!" My god it was hilarious lol, with multiple kids running around loudly yelling that
or maybe he didn't and the kid lacked a brain....this is why Dorthy needed a mother.
Load More Replies...Well I have had some carers here who wouldn't necessarily notice I had died... 😮😃
Load More Replies...The sad thing is that I bet this happens all the time. A patient peacefully dies and nobody realizes it at first.
Probably in this case probably all other staff knew that he was dead but they forgot to tell that to the new girl. In many nursing homes if someone dies they call their family and relatives so they can come and say the last farewells before the corpse is taken to the morgue.
Load More Replies...It can be 2 hours or more before all phone calls, forms etc. are complete, and the deceased is removed by staff from the funeral home or morgue. Meanwhile, the staff continue with their regular routine with the living residents.
How did she know it was ten minutes ago? And aren't there procedures to follow after a death? Like washing the corpse? Calling the next of kin?
Maybe one of the staff members was with that person when he died? They just forgot to tell about the death to the new worker. Of course the nursing home staff will contact the family of the deceased and the morgue but 10 minutes is a short time so the family or the morgue staff probably did not had arrived to the nursing home yet.
Load More Replies...People can be quite warm for quite a while after death, and quite floppy. Sounds to me like the new "girl" was a bit freaked out by how sick the other people were, and thought he was just really sick.
And not yet trained how to take a pulse, nor observer breathing properly.
Load More Replies...Imagine her face when she realised that she was scrubbing a dead man
Serves her right for being insensitive. If he was not responding, she should have notified her supervisor.
Load More Replies...I know this isn't suppose to be funny, but picturing a bunch of elderly people escaping and having to go catch them is hilarious to me. I hope you got them all.
Sounds similar to "the dream team", mental patients on the loose in New York.
Load More Replies...When my grandma was in an elderly peoples home I always saw a Fake Bus Station in front of the home and wondered why, until I witnessed some old dude "escape" (slowly scuffing out on his walking frame). I told the nurse and she was like: "Oh nevermind, he'll be going to the Bus station to drive home, so we're just letting him go and sit a while at the station and then bring him back in"
When I was a kid, there was a nursing home I walked by every day after school. One time, an elderly man in a wheelchair sped past me with a nurse chasing him. I'll never forget the look of utter joy on his face as he made his escape or the look of utter panic on the nurse's face as she tried to catch up to him.
I picture people with lassoes riding after them on horseback. Yee haw!
What! were they all standing behind the door waiting for someone to open it!!
Some are ALWAYS exit seeking. It is such a nightmare even if only one escaped.
Load More Replies...Growing up, my Mom worked at the nursing home just across the street from our home. Often while playing on the front lawn, my sister and I would hear the alarm and there was my mother along with 3-4 other staff members chasing someone in a wheelchair down the sidewalk. My sister and I would excitedly wave, "Hi Mom!!!"
Wow! Herding elderly people! It's so funny but a very serious situation. I hope they were all fine when you found them
Sorry for this man . No teacher deserve such harsh environment to work . A second job means less concentrated and less effective on the most important one.
Almost all of our first year teachers have second jobs. The only ones that don't have spouses who make decent money.
Load More Replies...that's sad... teacher should be paid so much more. it's an Investment for the youth
I have been hearing this since I could understand English. Which has been a long, long time.
Load More Replies...You “heard” to deliver pizzas? Well, I can see why you are not successful as a teacher.
I was thinking the same thing. I didn't see your comment until I said it lol.
Load More Replies...A teacher and you said "heard to deliver pizzas one summer?" *had....lol
That's what money can do for society. It was an extraordinary invention at the time it came along, and so much for us then. Now it will be our undoing as a tool of control and privilege. It allows those who do not deserve it to jump ahead with out giving anything on return. Unlike a teacher who gives so much, and gets little in return.
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.
I don't have the personal experience, but my mom works in a retirement home and she has to deal with quite a few people who think caretakers are stealing from them for no actual reason.
Load More Replies...When I saw an old lady questioning endlessly a staff at a ho,e depot about a gas lighter we were like 4 people in line, everyone agreed about how endlessly it was, but somehow understanding that she was probably alone and taking all her chance to spend some time with somebody... could have been our mom.
You shouldn't be sharing this at all. Working I'm health care you are supposed to keep everything confidential not spout it on the internet. Have some respect
That's not how it works. OP can't share anything that makes the people or place identifiable but they can share an anonymised story. Otherwise how could they do experience based interviews in care, in your opinion?, With questions like "tell me about a time when..."? Source: the GDPR. That's the European law on data protection.
Load More Replies...I'm not surprised that kid wound up in jail--probably not for stabbing people in the ears with pencils either.
Won’t say it’s genetic, I had two classmates in first years of schools that were evils. Their parents just victims, their mom did show the pain in her face, but certainly there’s so,e side responsibility in parents, even not going to seek proper help. Nowadays they call it hyperactivity syndrome, I saw one of those kids where I volunteered in pet therapy, and believe he did look and sound possessed.
Next time, take a beach bag with you. You can easily fit three in one, throw it on your shoulder and carry the other two....
Rookie mistake. Always keep the house key in your pocket. Also the classroom key.

Looks like your life is looking up. You've been doing a bunch of stuff and getting credit for it. :)
Once I picked up a waitressing shift for a friend at work. When I got out my car had been towed - I paid over $100 to go to work on my day off :(

I rememeber from the late 1980''s when somebody was sharing free candy at out local supermarked dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (I don't remember which one). When that person needed to take a break me and plenty of other small kids followed her and tried to see what Turtles do at their spare time. To our shock the turtle removed his head and there was a woman inside. :D
shame on Chuck E Cheese. It seems wrong to even consider someone standing outside for long periods of time these days.
I wonder if he was the little monster that stabbed the other girl in the ear with a pencil
And we wonder why they needed to hire a nanny? Too busy to be a parent clearly
I can't imagine it paid well, but I don't see how this would be a bad job. Heck, sign me up
This world definitely needs more plant managers. I used to have a very exhausting job at a hospital kitchen and at a summer time our boss wanted that the kitchen staff should also water the outdoor plants near the hospital kitchen when we had lunch break or coffee break. No one wanted to do that. So instead of watching the pretty flowers we just saw dying plants from our break room window.
It was illegal for him or her to ask you to work on your scheduled breaks.
Load More Replies...Here they love calling everything "a manager" these days 'cause it sounds cool apparently. No more shop assistants, only "sales managers". No more cleaners, only "cleaning managers"...etc.
"Commitment to the community"? What kind of geniuses come up with notions like this? What a load of horse pucky. Starting a business isn't a commitment to a community. If anything it's a commitment to ones self. There's no commitment unless he was paid in advance. Highly unlikely in a service business like lawn mowing.
You should NOT cancel any scheduled jobs, but you can stop advertising, stop booking new jobs! Or, even pass on the jobs (with client approval) to a new kid.
Your dad is an a*****e. At least considering how awful allergies can get.
Your dad sounds like a jerk who taught you to please others even If it was hurting you. You could have just told people you had allergies so they would need to find someone else if he had let you.
Agreed. Or when you just tell people you can't do it anymore because of the allergies.
Load More Replies...Wow! Wonder if we had the same father. Mine didn't care if I had allergies or not and epipens in those days were not even thought of yet.
Oh come on! Blockbusted was an obvious one
Load More Replies...Your reaction was understandable. Praying mantis' look like Satan in bug form.

Yeah must be much easier now. Can probably apply all those fun filters to them too...yikes.
Load More Replies...I worked for a service drive of a dealership when I was 19. Every man that came to the window would ask to see a manager for an explanation of their bill instead of asking me...even after I told them that I was the one that processed and coded their bill (meaning I had to know how to diagnose and fix any mechanical issues with the cars.) The revenge came one day when I told the guy that I needed to explain some thing about his new engine. He said "I'll talk to the service drive manager, honey." The manager didn't know what had been done. So the customer never got the note that he shouldn't take the car over 55 for the first 500 miles to give the seals time to set. He called less than an hour later to say his engine had blown out from under the hood and all over the freeway. Guess that sexist stereotyping finally jumped up and bit you in the a*s, didn't it honey!
Welcome to the gender pay gap. Wouldn't it have been nice if even one of the guys had stepped up?
When I did hay for the neighboring dairy 30 years ago the going rate was a nickel a bale. I was making better than $10/hour, but that was some brutal work.
I haul hay with only my dad every summer... I dont get paid at all😂
Why would you not agree on payment before starting the work? That seems like common sense.
I purposely put it in a bowl of pee and smile evil when she felt it
I was wandering how do u read the author's name and then I see @itsShyyyy. Now I'm thinking about this poor person correcting people all his life
Well you and the rest of the workers were normal, that boss was truly disturbed. Wonder how often she got sick.
So just because she's around 70, she's not allowed to have nudes of herself? Shallow...
Oh please. That is her worst summer job? Seeing someone’s nude photos? Grow up.
Listen, just because YOU wouldn't mind looking at borderline PORN of random strangers doesn't mean WE ARE. Sweet baby Jesus Christ on a bike...

That's OK, my ex did that a lot, too. Except she use the whole cob. Sometimes two.
Honestly pollinating is far better than detasseling. You get to sleep in, don't freeze in the morning, and if it's too wet you don't go out. Welcome to the midwest
Why would anyone do that to a newborn? The poor kid didn't even have a choice.
It could have been worse, at least I think this was done by medical professional. For Muslims this is a religious custom (called Suynet, at least in my country) and they do it when the boys are 6-7 years old. It's done by the Imam and I don't think they use any anesthetic. It would be far more traumatizing to do it to a kid that knows what's happening, than to a baby.
Load More Replies...Personal assistant jobs are the worst. Many people read "assistant" as "slave."
Guys chill. It's not 'mutilation' to circumcise a child. There's hardly any information here, so for all you know it could have been for health reasons for that particular child. And there ARE health benefits to being circumcised. I agree that it's nice for the child to make a decision where they're older, but there's a lot of decisions that a mother makes for their newborn, and this can be one of them. There are also religious reasons for this to happen, and it's not always a bad thing. Again, there's not enough information here for you to all shove your opinions in people's faces, so let's just chill with the comments, ok? Lol.
At a savings and loan we had to wear a button that said: I Have a Heart On for You. It was a short lived promo.
we have a hot dog place called sup dogs and they have a shirt that says "the best 6 inches in town" lol
My ex was a pool guy. He said he'd NEVER go into a pubic hot tub after working that job.
Stay clear of pubic hot tubs! And public ones too!
Load More Replies...Was it here or somewhere else where there were awful tanning booth stories. Much pooping. Ugh. People.
How'd you even find out? Did u sign a non disclosure? That's strange...
Definitely you are not going to be hired as a plant manager like the guy above
Probably watered them too much. Almost always the case when plants die within a short period.
Before taking jobs watering plants for people that obviously love them, read up on plants. Not all of them can be watered the same. You would never water an orchid the same as you would a spider plant. How the heck did you kill 44?
I was house sitting for my mom just recently. That includes animals and plants. The animals are fine. The day before they came home I messaged her in anxiety because I thought I had killed her entire green house. They weren't dead but they sure would have been if they didn't came back the next day. I'm 31. Thankfully it's my mom, she knows she can trust me with anything but plants. She had probably scheduled for some serious life saving for them.
Clearly your best was not good enough! I'd assume people who care that much about their plants would have left clear instructions as to when & how much to water so unless there are some factors you haven't mentioned (fire, flood, swarm of locusts, maybe?) there's no excuse.
Why would a 14 year old need a babysitter? Unless he was special needs which would be a more legit explanation for the adult diapers I suppose
Long trip away from them? I mean 14 can stay home alone, but for say 3 days by themselves? They might burn down the house or have a house party. Though if they are the type that plays video games till they wet themselves, maybe not.
Load More Replies...If he was the only kid you were babysitting you earned some easy cash.
I suspect if they were, the babysitter wouldn't have had to take him for the diapers. Sounds like it was the kid's idea.
Load More Replies...if i were those parents and found that out, you would have been in deep s**t even with diapers.
I would have said "Excuse me..I seem to have gotten the wrong address.." and left.
Cleaners are not required to clean up the animal feces, just clean the stains. OSHA LAWS...
Chucky wouldn't have bothered me, a normal non deformed doll would have though
Better than mine, he eats poop and then try's to lick you face afterwards. But either is lovely.
i would have deliberately eaten it in front of them, with my full mouth open
It's people calling chicken vegetarian that's the problem. Reminds me of a line from Midsomer Murders when a detective asked a self proclaimed vegetarian why she never ate the fish her husband caught. She said "Fish may not be the brightest creatures on God's Earth, but it is still quite cruel to refer to them as a vegetable."
Load More Replies...As a kid and even a young adult I also thought fish and chicken wasn't meat. Now I know better.
I once got fired for smiling too much during meetings (the manager WAS a clown). I was really trying to be nice because it wasn't a bad job, but he said he never trusted anyone who smiled a lot.
I actually worked at a French Bakery one summer in Pike Place Market in Seattle. Every week I'd have the same customer, Antonio, come in and tell me I was beautiful, he'd sweep me away to Italy some day and that doing this would make him the happiest man on Earth. The problem was..he said this to every young girl at the shop.
not even the aliens wanted to be with him, they had to return the old boy to earth

Load More Replies...I'm an artist. I spend a LOT of time waiting for paint to dry. Probably why I smoke too much weed.
I babysat kids that would give me $20-$50 to take them to get ice cream, go to the pool, and so on. The boy once offered be $500 to NOT tell his parents he locked me on the roof. He was 10 at the time and actually had that cash to hand me. I haven't seen that much cash in one place since then...
If you had told him "no" and told the parents..they may have given you more to "Keep this between us."
Load More Replies...My first job at age 15 was at a Sonic Drive-In. I walked up to a car and the guy in it was masturbating, I glanced away and my brain said "You didn't see what you just thought you saw", so I looked again. Then he smiled really big at me... I guess he thought that because I'd looked twice, I was impressed... NOT!!
LMAO!!! That Prince Albert has got to smart, I don't care WHAT anyone says.

Please tell me you called the police or the crazy house. She probably belongs in both.

That's one stupid manager. If the employee had been hurting after being order to pursue a thief then Dollar General would probably be liable.
Who displays TP outside? What if it rains? You shouldnt chase shoplifters they're obviously desperate and they could hurt you. Bad management.
I don't know the situation at your country but in my country all toilet paper rolls are sold in plastic wrap that usually has 6 or more rolls in it so it is perfectly fine to sell those in outdoors also.
Load More Replies...I was okay, until the last phrase. Sorry to laugh! I would've totally bought some of your artwork.
That was a great idea! I would've bought art from a 10 year old. Super sweet!
When I was a little younger than that, my friend & I sold "greeting cards" from her front porch that faced a major road. We put signs on the trees out front & had crates full of paper cards with drawings on them. A guy in a business suit parked out front with his 4 ways on & walked up. Looked in one of the crates, looked at us & walked away. It was funny.
I once tried to sell a toy car outside my house for 1$...we lived in a kind-of upscale gated community at the time so no one even bought it.
oh wow. I might threaten to call the police - just like you would if an adult was threatening you I guess. :S
At least I‘d call the parents? I wonder where these behaves come from. Especially if the kid was under the age of 12
Load More Replies...I once had a professor in college tell us to write down the grade we think we deserved in the class. I put "B" bc I felt the B I was already earning was fair. I was the only one who didn't know it was his last semester and had stopped grading after midterms. So everyone got A's - except me with my B. That day, I learned lying can get you farther in life.

I'm surprised I didn't light a match on my last day. #TalkAboutFired.
Better that when I helped my sister with her route at 4am. She'd pull the car up and I'd run up and drop the paper on the front porch of the house. Until the one house where the family had no lighting and forgot to coil up the hose draped across their front yard. I crashed to the pavement, knocked the wind out of myself, but still managed to fling the paper to the front door. When I got back in the car, my sister said "What took so long?" I said "I was busy dying on the front walkway." She had me drive while she finished the rest of the route and, after that, always carried a high beam flashlight on her route.

Before a school dance performance I sprained my ankle and thought I'd get out of it. Nope. My teacher had the great idea of getting me to blow bubbles before the start of the dance. I limped to the front, with a pissed off expression and blew a few bubbles to the bewilderment of the audience before limping off now seriously pissed off..... That trauma was over 30 years ago and I haven't forgotten it so I really feel for you!!
I worked at Burger King in high school at the time, they had some promotion going on and we had to say "Welcome to Burger King, we do it for you!"

Only if they wanted to watch. The rows would have been less dense in that direction, having already been depleted of their ears of corn..

Load More Replies...Good thing none of your patients got into the rat poison---the neighboring business would've had a huge lawsuit on their hands!
I would've asked him if HE was going to eat it, to prove his point. Then sit back for the fun.
Riiight....and this little s**t story coming from...*suspense* a VEGAN c**t.
That's why I just don't buy that kind of thing at convenience stores...
Hope your parents gave your neighbor a talking-to about child labor laws.
This sounds like a case for delegating. Handle it right and you could get them to do most of the work.
What? Cook and clean while babysitting job? I would have left immediately.
You should have patted her condescendingly on the head and said "There, there, chill out" 😂
I would've towered over her and quietly told her to get her finger out of my face. Then I would've smiled and left her in the middle of a huge busy rush.
Not what you'd expect to be part of the job description of an educator...
Weird, since that doesn't get rid of the weeds---they have to be pulled out root and all. Sounds like your uncle was a d**k.
peanuts grow underground, so i guess taking out weeds with all the root would have taken out the peanuts as well :)

Load More Replies...Guess mom never learned the lessons her parents taught her. Or she thought she was being funny (she wasn't, btw)
Sounds a lot like my summer job in 2016... worked as a cashier at the local convenience store, only they didn't train me well enough, so they just gave up on me and ended up making me clean the bathrooms and floor every day, along with stocking items... that and they only gave me about 3 hours every two weeks >:(
shoulda went in the next day and relieved em of all their steaks, nuggets etc.
have you ever made a comment here that isnt a dickish one?
Load More Replies...I feel like that isn't the job's fault. Unless they didn't tell you in advance you'd be working with flames.
Still really not the job's fault. I mean, if it could happen to Michael Jackson, it could happen to anyone!
Load More Replies...Just one anonymous call to the Health Department would've solved that problem
better of in the kitchen than being front of house dealing with a*****e customers
and the fuckbot strikes again, you ever had wisdom teeth out? it isnt pleasant.
Load More Replies...Would've been funny if that same kid then started digging in the sand at that exact spot. Poetic justice.
you would be a f*****g racist a*****e trump supporter wouldnt u.
Load More Replies...Should've called the Health Department on her instead---or threatened to.
Amazing how some companies think that an extra $2/week before taxes could qualify as a "maximum raise". Maybe for 1930...
I work for the state and just got my first raise in over ten years... a whopping 10%. Nevermind the rate of inflation over the last decade where we got no raise at all.
Load More Replies...yea because your average child is so up to date with labour laws. dumb miserable prick
Load More Replies...wow a nice comment and one that i agree with. shock horror
Load More Replies...crack would explain your s****y attitude and manners
Load More Replies...It's a bill and teds excellent adventure reference
Load More Replies...You could parlay that into very high wages for jobs no one else can do. That is, if you want to...
dumping the responsibility of the whole place on a kid
Load More Replies...I would've lasted 5 minutes working for a micromanaging a*****e like that.
Word. I've worked in tourist spots too. People on vacation can be real d***s.
i have a feeling thats how it is with any conveyor line job, had same types a nightmares about the battery factory and also meatpacking plant.
sorry but you are an idiot, if your talking about a microwave anyway, if not then my bad,
i wouldnt tweet this lol, wouldnt the religious police arrest you for bad mouthing the republic or something?
tbh id rather deal with a woman if going to a male dominated place like mechanic or hardware store etc, usually if a woman is there she knows her stuff and has an interest in it etc.
I apologize in advance. Cutting cheese? Did it smell like Limburger? I'll let myself out now.
we still haven't gone back there after the TV incident. basically, we went there when i was little, and either it was a really weird ad or a movie but some serial killer thing started playing on the tv, i remember crying in my mom's arms while the employees frantically changed the channel
wrong as usual danny boy, history will not judge trump or Murica well at all. you a fan of nazis and white supremacists then bub?
Load More Replies...Should've reported him, or at least given his number to your father to call.
issue with that is, how would the person know she was underage? and she didnt mention the age of the guy. so...if he was around her age? then i dont actually see any foul play at hand here if he did not know she was underage.
Load More Replies...Translation: worked at Yale library during summers off of college and loved it, then worked at a donut shop from 12 to 6 so "ugly" (I'm guessing that means they didn't have time to clean up at home), and their dad made them quit, which they were happy about (Rough translation)
Load More Replies...oh hell the fother mucking NO, id have made damn sure the idiot was blamed and woulda decked him hard. as an ex chef, i know all about these dangers. they coulda f*****g died
my sarcastic thoughts exactly...sounds like just another kid who didnt want a job... not to be a d**k.
Load More Replies...That would've been my favorite summer job! (Unless, of course, the dog was nasty tempered)
I think they meant they put huge holes in their ears for huge earrings, like this: Screen-Sho...805e27.png
seeing a hamster in a bathroom couldn't have been THAT bad... hamsters are cute! X3
Am I missing something here? How is this bad, and why would you feel guilty?
You should've called the cops, or at least to,d your parents---especially if you were underage.
not exactly a bad summer job. you can make alot of money working for the right company. but yea i wouldn't have kept idiots like that either if i were your boss.
It seems like you need to go back to school and learn how to write properly.
Sorry, but from the state of your spelling, you should've been in summer school instead of working.
So you made the jobs of people who made minimum wage even more miserable by taunting them? I hope Karma is a real b***h for you.
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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...My first summer job was taking care of my neighbors cats, and her fish. One cat slept all the time, the other would violently attack anyone who came within 4 feet of her. I got a lot of scratches on my legs during that job. One of the cats threw up a hairball on the carpet and I had to clean it best I could. Keep in mind I was 12. I also was new to the concept of feeding fish, and, not having been instructed how to feed them, I overfed the fish and 4 of them died. Not fun, but I was paid 20 dollars and got a gift card to a fancy pizza place so i guess it worked out ok
You know, a lot of these aren't bad jobs, they're bad OPs, or bad OP's friends, or bad "yeah that was a bad thing to happen to you but that's just life, sometimes you drop something on your foot & dislocate your toe, it doesn't mean that the job is bad".
A previous job - I came in with over 40 clips in my arm from a shattered elbow and operation - to get the disciplinary for having time off sick
ld see the to care for my terminally ill motherarm -- but because they had allowed me time off to - they lost the plot somewhere
