Sure, there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ job with no stress, but that’s not to say that all of them are equally good. Some professions are far more emotionally exhausting than others. And they aren't always what you think of straight away.
There are lots of hidden aspects and layers to doing any job. But not all of them are pleasant surprises.
Workers took to a thread on AskReddit to spill the tea about the creepiest parts of their professions. It’s the kind of stuff most people don’t talk about, unless they’re anonymous.
Scroll down for their stories and to get a new perspective on the job market. Meanwhile, check out Bored Panda's interview with the author of the thread, u/Raiseyourspoonforwar. Just keep in mind that some of these stories can be triggering.

I used to do a lot of independent IT work in rural areas before I moved to the bay, and have endless stories about utterly f****d up people.
Yes, I always reported it if I could prove it was illegal, but here's just some of the greatest hits:
Was asked to install a hidden web camera in a child's room once, under the guise of it being for a baby, then find out it's the room of a 16 year old girl.
I meet a retired judge who is like the nicest guy ever, instantly find insanely long histories of mock snuff films and poetry about severing female heads.
Went to a hog farm and helped install a monitoring system for a series of pens that included couches inside and real toilets. He stood behind me the entire time breathing down my neck while I worked.
Seriously, so done with the Midwest bruh.
