World’s Worst Job? S.F. sewer inspection that is loaded with roaches & rats!! YUCK!!!
Take a look at this video excerpt of a San Francisco sewer inspection from the TV show Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe had to go down a second time to re-mortar the brick. I think they need to send Terminix down first!
WARNING: don’t watch while eating……
Is that disgusting or what???!!!! Did you see the carpet of cock roaches on the ceiling of the sewer. Ewwwww!!! I can’t believe the rat actually jumps into Mike Rowe’s lap, quite tame….
That is one job I would never do!
It is however, a bit of fascinating San Francisco history; to see brick sewer lines still in existence in earthquake country. Apparently there are almost 1000 miles of sewers under San Francisco streets.
According to a S.F. Municipal report from 1875, sewage was originally dumped into the S.F. Bay; some sewers were made of wood. Click here to read an interesting excerpt from the S.F. Municipal Reports from 1875.
