I've got two stories, both temp jobs in my younger years.

I was working a temp job on some weaving machine with some girl. I was engaging in some chit chat while we were monitoring the machine until the next manual interference had to be done. She asked me if I liked the job. I told her it was fine, I was just there to earn my bread, I didn't think much of it. It was just chatter, or so I thought.

After the break, the manager came to me and told me that since i didn't like working there, I was fired. Turns out the girl went to the manager office, literally crying, telling him that I was complaining about the job and she feared that it would badly influence her position in the company and that I was sabotaging the company.

That was fucking weird! Anyways, I was out of there and didn't care a bit. I was 19 or so and had a new job the next day. It was only a summer job anyways.

Another summer job (a year later) was another temp job. I had to go to some distribution company and they'd tell me what to do. Fine.

I got there and they tell me I had to wipe conveyer belts with a cloth. That sucks, but allright, it was only for a week. A few moments later, one of the workers came up to me and asked me why I was there. I said I was there to work. He said, "No, I mean what did you do to be put here". He thought I was a convicted fellon doing my time there. Clearly this was that kind of job. Needless to say I rung up the temp agency and explained to them that I wouldn't be going back there.
