Why did I do this?
I once cleaned urinals (no gloves), on the midnight shift in a coffee shop for about 1 pound an hour.

I was a new immigrant with no work permit, so they could get away with paying me what they liked, and I needed the money.

Some disgusting bloke had blocked up the urinal with bog roll (I don't even want to think what he was doing) and then pissed in it. And I, out of desperation to keep my crappy job, put my bare hand (I was given no gloves)into the pool of warm, steaming piss to remove the wet bog roll and unblock the urinal. All for a quid an hour between 12 and 8am.

Ah well, when I am a millionaire and dining out on caviar and Champagne it will amuse my fat, boring millionaire friends. "From such small beginnings..."
