Newshub personalities share 'worst job' stories

What's the most boring job you've had? RadioLIVE's Willie Jackson and Alison Mau threw the question out there today and got some truly mind-numbing responses.

So we decided to ask some Newshub personalities the question and got some surprising answers.

Screwing the lids on toothpaste sounds like one of those mythically bad jobs that no one has actually done. But as it turns out, it's a job one of our hosts is very familiar with.

Duncan Garner spent a childhood summer putting the lids on Red Seal toothpaste. A little asking around the office, and we found plenty of people with stories of jobs so boring they are only funny in hindsight.

And, as Willie and Ali discovered, plenty of listeners had stories of their own.

Many involved factory-style work

Or fruit-picking.

Others involved painful data entry or filing...

Or moving things from one place to another.

But this one surely takes the cake.
