For example - traffic wardens! A job where people are paid to issue tickets and you can guarantee you will ruin someone's day!
What others would you hate to do?

The main job I wonder how anyone can do is be a police officer and a protest. People are usual peaceful and you go around arresting them for what they believe in i could never do that. I mean please have a purpose catching a rapist, robber, murder etc. But I don't think that's served by arresting most peaceful people and have no intention. Just my opinion

I am a former officer, and it is really not a bad job. As with any job, there are bad parts to it, and sometimes you are forced to do things that you don't agree with or don't like to do, but overall, it is a good career. You just have to deal with the fact that you don't make the orders...you take them...and sometimes you have to just do what you are told...just like the military in a way I guess...

That's one of the main reasons I would hate it - I hate to be ordered around without agreeing with the orders.
I want to be preventing crime not simply keeping up the arrest numbers.
I want to be helping people avoid breaking the law.
I don't think the police can be involved in that.
In answer to the original point, the police do appear to be rather heavy handed in breaking up protests, again not something I could do.
And I could never 'stop and search' random men as the police appear to do.

I was actually thinking about that one myself.
I know the one that I could not do is the one who puts dogs and other animals to sleep at the vet's office when they are terminally ill. I know that sometimes they are serving to end the animal's suffering and pain, but I know I couldn't do it all the time the way they have to.
