I worked at a door factory the summer after my freshman year of college for a few weeks. I operated the giant 90* bender to bend the flat sheets of metal to form the edges of the door eight hours a day. Easily my greatest motivator to do well in school. Some of the people I worked with had been there 15+ years.

Quoted:
i drove around in a white van with a couple pot heads and tried to sell shitty speakers to people "hey man check this out, we had a delivery this morning and they loaded us with 2 extra sets of high end speakers. if i show up at the shop with them they will end up in my boss' house.". that lasted all of a week, guess im too honest to sell people $50 speakers for $200+ (i sold exactly 0).

i would have to say that was the flakiest opperation i have ever heard of.

I've had those guys show up before! I was hanging out in a parking lot when this white child molester van pulled up and the guys tried to sell these POS, gigantic speakers to me.

You monster!

Sold lawn chemicals over the phone. I lasted exactly 4 weeks and went home on lunch never to return.

To top it all off I had a manager that was a lifer with the company call me the next day and ask me if I wasn't coming back, I just laughed and hung up the phone.
