What’s the most annoying thing you ever had to do?

More a situation I was annoyed about.I started out working in a laboratory when I was 18 having passed all my science exams,then found out the receptionist was getting paid the same as me.Of course this job does not need a string of qualifications.
So I applied for a receptionist position next time it came up,dressed smart,had the interview and was unsuccessful.I soon figured out why and was ready for the next time.A receptionist job position comes up again and it's stuff the smart look,for the interview I wore a skirtsuit with the skirt so short it barely showed beneath my fitted jacket,left my legs bare and wore white sandals with pencil thin stiletto heels.Did that usual Q and A routine.Got to the second stage interview which happened when I was asked to go from the laboratory straight to the interview,this was to catch candidates unprepared.I was offered the position before I had left the room.Lesson learned.Intelligent is great but sex sells.

Work with a brilliant man who had no respect for anyone else. When I would speak at a board meeting, he would pull out a newspaper and read it.

Probably all the doctors appointments I've had at this point. 🤔 There is nothing I despise more than sitting in a waiting room for two hours just to be seen for two minutes by a doctor who isn't listening.

A colleague misspelt a word on the large noticeboard and was too embarrassed to correct it as there were lots of people there. So i ended up doing it.

Do my tax return

anything that involves a lot of paperwork, sitting in a class, listening to speeches/lectures, etc.

I'm a man of action, I prefer hands on work.

Clean out a septic tank at work as a colleague claimed to be busy. We both worked in maintenance. Turned out he was pretending to be busy and stuffing his face.
