[QUOTE=littleowl33;1853511]Oh man, I've had some interesting jobs. (This is a little graphic)
In high school, I worked for an SPCA for four years. It was actually the most rewarding job I've ever had, and overall, I loved it. But working with people giving up animals was the worst. They treated us like dirt and expected us to kiss their asses for dumping their unwanted pets with us. A lot of times these animals were sick, pregnant, very old, what-have-you and it took a lot of self-restraint not to strangle some of these idiots. One woman would bring us a litter of kittens every month or two, like clock-work, and refused to get her cats fixed. Another family tied up a litter of puppies outside the door in the middle of the night in November in New England - luckily they were still alive when we got there at 7:30am. Another person brought in a cat and booked it before we could ask him anything about her... and when we got in the back room and picked her up, the employee's hand went inside the cat. She had a mammary tumor that had gone untreated, then basically became a gaping hole in her belly. I could go on, but you get the idea. I became very cynical about human beings while working that job. I left when I graduated high school and went to college.

This is why I will not be able to work as vet full time for another 20 years (have already been doing it almost 13). And people wonder why I am so cynical and just tolerate most humans.
