There are certain professions that you would only contact in cases of bad news. Morticians, paramedics, and the police all come to mind. Others don’t exactly have the most stellar reputation, like lawyers and plastic surgeons. All of you probably have some profession that you simply dislike out of principle or perhaps experience.
One internet user wanted to find out more, but with a twist. They asked for examples of jobs where “everybody hates me until they need me,” and people delivered. So scroll down and upvote the jobs which you agree get a lot of flack, but everyone needs at some point in their life.

People are very quick to look down on people who work retail or in the food industry, people openly disrespect sanitary workers and even USPS and DMV workers but our society couldn't function without any of them.
Honestly though USPS and DMV workers are almost always rude and because the U.S loves to make simple things complicated all the stupid rules at both the places are almost physically painful and If I had to deal with it for 40hrs a week I would probably be rude too.

Safety manager.
Everyone thinks they’re sissies that needlessly spend money and complicate things… until someone gets hurt or the company gets cited, then suddenly everyone wants to know what can and should be done to remedy the situation.

UX designer here. Every engineer thinks they know how to make an interface, yet the software or site they create is terrible and they would rather accuse users of being dumb than admit their baby stinks.
