What was the toughest job you ever had?

It could be a time of employment you had, a one time side job, a role in life, or a responsibility you were given or took. What was it and what was so hard about it? Remember that what seems easy to one person can be very difficult for another.
For myself I would say being a parent is hard because so many times I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing.
My current employment is difficult because it's so physically demanding. I'm a picker for online order fulfillment and I feel like my legs are going to fall off every day.

I used to do picking and dependent on the season it got really busy, and they'd expect you to to turn around 200 picks an hour. I got into fitness after that.
I had a mentally challenged job a few years ago, it was hard, Bully culture, call centre culture, hated it, found a colleague dead due to the bully nature. It broke me mentally, and if honest, I wasn't right since. Its something I have only admitted to myself recently.
yes I had the support there but it was more so how badly people could affect someones own life. I still cant come to terms with it.

@Gangstress 200 and hour? Singles? I haven't been doing it long so I've only gotten up to 100% one time. Yesterday I was at 80%.
