I won't do any job. I don't work. It's not my thing.

And some drivers heat up coins with a lighter before paying, and who knows what all. Thank goodness that job is almost obsolete.

I worked with customers before. When I worked at a burger shop, customers would call in and want me to read the entire menu to them over the phone while I had a line of people ready to order.
Customers would come in and ask if we sell burgers, ignoring the huge menu above my head. They would change their order, complain about their order, etc.

Similar to what I have to gone through. When I worked at a grocery store, I sometimes had to answer a call from a customer asking what's on sale, what else is one sale, when the sale ends, and so on. I never had time for this, and I had trouble deciding how to be polite about it when I need to hang up, and I know it's best to wait for a customer to hang up first before I hang up. It can be aggravating when I have shelves to stock when that needed to be done now.

Animal control: I would be heartbroken and angry.
Military: dislike war and killing
Call center: don't like dealing with angry people
Scammer/spammer: I am ethical.
Cop: don't want to be a target
Refinery:too dangerous and I actually worked in several for 6 years. Too many close calls and you breathe foul air
Slaughterhouse: vegetarian
Vault toilet cleaner/pumper
Any kind of sales: people should make up their own minds, not have a high pressure sakesperson talk them into something they don't need.

Probably more but these I absolutely wouldn't do unless I had no other choice. Being retired, I do have choices.

Btw, I did work as a janitor at a public pool. People are pigs.

I wouldn't be one of those guys on a road crew who stands on the back of a large liquid asphalt sprayer. I also wouldn't do that asphalt spreading stuff on rooftops. Screw that noise!
