For me, the shortest time I spent was about 1 year at a restaurant. I had to move out of state.

So you were locked up in a mental institution? I don't think that is a job.

I worked at a grocery store in high school and when home during the Summer at college. One Summer they did not give me many hours so I told my boss that this would be my last week. I got a job at Burger King since it was only a few months. I worked at BK for a day and it sucked. My old boss called me asking why I did not come to work. I told him I already said I had quit and he said he didn't think I was serious. He then wanted me to come back so he found me some odd jobs around the store to get me more hours. 1 day at BK was my shortest.
I worked at CVS for a month also. It was me, one other employee and a manager. I would have to run the register, stock the store, help customers, etc. The manager was always in the back room hanging out or fooling around with the female employee. After the first month I got a bad review due to not being able to keep the store fully stocked while helping customers and running the frontend. After that I simply stopped showing up for the job.

It was a porn director. After the 40th take of a scene involving a dozen Roman candles and a very sore rectum, skin finally had enough

Probably the blow-job I got from little Suzi Shallow-Throat. Didn't last more than five minutes.

4 or 5 months. I worked at a Taco Bell while going to university. I had worked at Wendy's for a few years in HS and thought it would be the same... it wasnt.
Since entering the (real) professional world I think just shy of 3 years is my shortest stint. I hate changing jobs and all the knock on effects it brings.

a couple months at Sears. I worked at Sears for 2 years, then quit with about a weeks notice do to an independent contractor gig. I came back to the Sears job and they said they would hire me back under the condition that if something came up again, I would give at least two weeks notice.
Another lucrative contractor gig came up about 2 months later and I quit again with 4 days notice. They were pretty pissed.

One month.
Was hired to work for a politician as a PR intern for her campaign and it should be a temporary 6 months job. They figured out I was on the opposite side of the political spectrum and sacked me. lmao
I bought a PS2 with the money.
Two shifts at this mail processing facility. I thought I'd just go and make a few extra bucks at an easy gig a couple nights per week. You stood in the middle of this big square-shaped assembly line and it basically constructed all the junk mail and ValPacks you hate receiving in your mailbox.
There was no training so you never knew what to actually do when the machines weren't working right. The people were fucking weird as hell. When you went to grab more of the leaflets/flyers that go in specific mailings, some of them acted like you were taking the ones that belonged to them. They would get like a whole pallet of them in boxes and then everyone would have to go to that station to grab more and the person would chastise you for taking them. It was so fucking weird.

A season at TruGreen. I think 5 months until we got laid off for winter, then I got a different job and stuck with it instead of going back
It was fun though.

You look way more tan than I was expecting.

As an adult, I have had one nine year stint and the current 8 year stint. I also hate changing jobs. I've slid around a bit, gotten promoted, etc, but really just two gigs to date when you boil it down and that's fine by me. Have I kneecapped my earning power as a result? Maybe a little, but I've gotten good at saber rattling and advocating for myself when the time is right, and squeezed out multiple random double digit percent raises that were outside of the "normal" annual increases. Also pitched a doomsday tale to management which was I guess largely based in truth in order to coax retention bonuses for my team after an acquisition.
Ask for more money guys (provided you're not super easily replaceable... Important detail). Generally the worst they can say is 'no'.
I was once acting as a glory hole servant at the porno shop and I had to stop mid-blowjob. For some reason, I thought glory holes were where you went to to be hand fed a variety of pies. It sounded like my dream job. I almost completed that first blowjob anyway just in case to see if I'd get a pie next.

Working a Coles, a grocery store, was my first job and shortest lived. I probably only had 5 or 6 shifts. It was the most boring fucking shit ever. All I did was walk up and down the ailes turning cans, so the label was facing forward, and pulling shit to the front. And then I would have customers come up to me asking where specific items are. I don't fucking know?? Leave me alone.
One time I was running around the car park returning the trolleys and, ironically, that was the best part of the job. It was good exercise and people left you the fuck alone.
After like a year of not working there they called me up out of thr blue asking if I could do a shift. I thought it was a friend prank calling me. I was like "Tony you motherfucker! I know it's you". It wasn't Tony. That was a very awkward phone call.
