Product Description
Following the huge success of Crap Towns, loafer's bible the Idler presents the even funnier Crap Jobs.Drawing on the resources of the Idler's hudely witty audience, Crap Jobs is a side-splitting trawl through the worst job experiences ever. From the North Sea Ferry cabin cleaner to the artificial chicken inseminator, read tales of degrading exploitation and humilitation, of bosses from hell and co-workers from purgatory. A unique combination of mordant humour and biting social satire, Crap Jobs tells of stress, misery and rebellion in the darkest most satanic warehouses, offices, call centres, hospitals, restaurants and factories in the UK.

Genius cartoons,
By G E ROBERTS (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crap Jobs (Hardcover)
This book is worth buying if only for the illustrations, the one with the board members denegrating their PR, marketing and sales staff is a work of genius and should be distributed to offices throughout the land. Seriously, great stories tinted with terrible sadness. There are some profoundly horrible jobs out there.

Another Smash Hit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crap Jobs (Hardcover)
Once again Dan Kieran has hit the jackpot with his new book Crap Jobs. The book we have been waiting for - an excellent follow-up to his smash hit Crap Towns. He plumbs the depth of jobs that only the desperate will take - lack of money is the best incentive of all - perspectives change overnight - "Mmm, that jobs sounds OK- let's have a go". An hilarious list of some of the most degrading, boring, funny and plain disgusting ways of earning a few quid. A new book from this talented and humourous writer. A cautionary tale for the job-seeker. I enjoyed this genuinely funny book enormously and can't wait to read Crap Towns II. Keep them coming!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Funny,
By Andy (Lerwick, Shetland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crap Jobs (Hardcover)
Hilarious book, which proves that no matter how bad you think things ar for you at work, there are many that are much worse off in theirs.
