The Jobs That Made People Hate You

Arguably the most easy to understand stigmatized profession was that of the funerary worker. The funerary trade was a vital part of the ancient economy, but the Romans believed that corpses were full of pollution; pollution that emanated from the bodies themselves meant that funeral workers were excluded from life in the ancient city. They worked at night and could not participate in religious rituals or perform sacrifices.

Today? Anything that requires waiting in a line. DMV and County Clerk. Post Office (where they ask me if I want to buy insurance--hey, I'm paying you to deliver the letter/package, if you lose it, you are liable, why do I need insurance?). Auto mechanic: good luck determining if you actually needed that $800 transaxle rebuild.
