a piece of ****. No traffic, no steering wheel, no worrying about

have to
train for lots of emergency situations and have to know to do A if

B
happens
or C if D happens, but 99% of their time is spent sitting on their
backsides moving a lever back and forth. Yeah , tough life! If they
think
they're hard done by perhaps they'd like to try door to door

selling
around
various rough east end council estates like I did when I was

younger
where you risked getting bitten by the some knuckle draggers

pitbull
or beaten up by the local gang and have all your stuff nicked!


But you chose to do the job, if you didn't like it you could have

quite
easily found something else, such as joining the underground and

having a
nice cushy job.


I didn't like it. I did leave and get something else. Thats the whole
point.
If these lazy *******s working for LUL don't like their pay and
conditions
why don't they just **** off and go and do something else? Funnily
enough
you never find any off them giving an answer to that!
