All this time I assumed there was a special truck that painted the highway lines. A PERSON has to do that??? Egads.

I grant you, from a sheer enjoyment standpoint, highway line-painter sucks. However, we must encourage them to focus on how important their jobs are. (if they all quit = chaos!) Line-painters say: “I’m performing a necessary function to society.” GOOOO line-painters!!!

I’d think the highway line painter would be so high from the exhaust fumes, that he/she wouldn’t really mind the terrible job.

There are lots of worse jobs than this, don’t you think? What about slaughterhouse workers? That can’t be fun. Or what about a rep for any current or up and coming star who keeps getting into trouble and so the rep has to talk to the media at least once every day, coming up with excuses as to why his/her client is such a yahoo? Maybe that’s more annoying than truly bad, but still….

ever see roadkill painted right over by a road stripper? Clearly that guy wasn’t doing his job. As for worst job ever I often think of that song, “Papa was a rolling stone.” That has to suck day in and day out being that. A lot of headaches I bet.

Yeah but what about the guys with those big STOP templates? That’s the coolest thing ever.
