‘I got to spend the next hour cleaning up 96 broken eggs’: 20+ “I don’t get paid enough for this” moments that made people rethink their jobs

It's a thought that crosses everyone's mind at times: "I don't get paid enough to deal with this nonsense." Some days at work make you take out your phone calculator to figure out how much you're getting paid by the minute or second. When you've had an off day, it's easy to start fantasizing about future careers that'll line your pockets better.

A lot of times, the most physically demanding jobs also pay the least. Jobs where you're dealing with fuming customers also seem to pay peanuts. Meanwhile, folks with cushy office jobs often make five, six, or even seven figures annually, and they don't even have to stand all day or get yelled at by angry customers! It's just not fair, and there's not much to be done about it except heading to a job site to put your application in.

More than 13,000 people revealed their moments of "I don't get paid enough for this" in response to u/sprite_is_spicy's question on r/AskReddit. Check out some of the funniest answers down below!
