    Not exactly the worst physical job, but...

    One of my first "design jobs" after grad school was creating knock-off Lego kits for a toy company. Not bad at all, really. Just sit in a room with a mountain of fake Lego and see what you can come up with...

    But -

    The CEO was a complete freak with an overactive sinus, always picking his nose and air-blowing into his trash can.

    He came to me one day and said: "You're creative, right? Well, (sniff snort) we have some Letters of Appreciation (sniff sniff) and Awards Certificates that need to be framed and hung in the Conference Room..."
    "...and we need you to build a pin-up board (snort snort) in there as well."

    "...and I need you to (snuggg snorrrrrrrt!) paint some lines out in the parking lot, so we know which spaces are ours..."

    I gave notice (sniff snort) the following day.

    :)
