Child LabourThere is a special part of Hell I'd like to reserve for those arses that order every single Sunday paper. Do you know how heavy that makes the bundle of papers some poor kid (ie me) has to lug around? Funny how your papers always seemed to get mangled in your letterbox...
I loved my paper round, but, looking back, I was getting paid peanuts to ruin my back and cycle around in the cold and dark. How were you exploited as a child?

Working at the rubbish dumpWhen I was 17, I spent a day working for the woman who had the scavenging rights at the council rubbish dump - we all called her "Smelly Mary". 10 hours stacking empty beer bottles in the middle of an Australian summer. I stank like six month old piss. Got paid $10. Didn't return the next day.
Found a great copy of a very explicit porno mag though.
