My brother's first job back in 1977
was at a cardboard box factory. He would stand at one side of a large machine and feed in the sheets of cardboard. The machine would then fold, staple, fold some more, add some glue and a box would emerge from the far end about 3 seconds later. From there, another guy would go stack it nearby and then call 'Next'.

At 9am , my brother was thinking "this is money for old rope, it's piss easy" earning something like 80p per hour. However, by 11:30am my brother was truly sick of it and started feeding in the cardboard faster and faster until he was feeding it in as fast as the machine would take it.

"Hang on, I didn't say 'Next'! Hang on. Hang on, slow down, stop. Pack it in, fuckin' pack it in. Arghh" said the other guy. My brother peeked around the corner to see the other guy buried under about 20 large cardboard boxes. At this point the foreman wanders over, sees the guy on the floor and starts laughing. The guy got quite annoyed and scrambled to his feet which apparently took quite a while. The foreman stopped laughing and then said "Right SLVA's brother, clock off get your wage and piss off."

My brother got about £3 for his trouble (including an extra 50p from the foreman for giving him a good laugh) so he went to the pub and got rather merry.
