I'm not asking about the worst job. I'm asking about the grimmest one. For me it was when in my teenage years I was making candles you would put on a grave. Most of the time is was just filling the form, burn the right shape and passing it forward. But sometimes I had to fill in for a person who was selling these things, and that is where it gets grim. It was decades ago but I still remember one lady who asked what would be the best candle to memorialize her late husband. And she gave me the whole life story of her and her husband. I shit you not, it was the most touching love story I have ever heard. I quit the next day.

It depends on your thresholds. Most of the weird shit was sexual, which I don't have a moral issue with other than I didn't consent to be exposed to it.

SpoilerUnfortunately there were some other types of photos with content that we felt necessary to inform police about. Not explicitly CSAM, but children were involved.

Gotcha. People are so strange. You were very kind to put the spoiler tag.
