David Allen Coe Take This Job and Shove It

[Oilstories]

So... how many folks out there would work this kind of job? PROs: Work from home, part time, up to 20 hours a week. Weekends off. CONs: Though promised $12-$13.50 an hour, you rarely make that. You gross more like $6-9 an hour and salary fluctuates daily. You can only ask for 1 day off a month, forget about 1 or 2 weeks vacation. You get no benefits. Paid monthly, getting paycheck 4-6 weeks after the month worked. Vote thumbs up for "Yes, I want this job!" and thumb downs for "Walk, baby, walk"

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

well then, just quit. whats he gonna do? FIRE YOU?! your quiting

[dstodghill01]

DAC wrote the song and then Jonny Paycheck covered it, but the best version is definitely the one by DAC.

[TANNERGRN]

[NaturalBornKillahs]

[TANNERGRN]

[modlin545]

@TANNERGRN i'm doing that right now!

[Suurikurpa]

God damn... I remember my shortest straw ever.... I was 19 years old back then and had to pay my rent one way or another. Well... I tried and tried to find a job and nothing came up until someone told me that the local sanitarium had an opening. I went to the office and applied not even looking at the contract. "Congratulations young man. You are now the cleaner in this facility" I've never done and never will do anything like that anymore. Cleaning up loonies shit and piss from the floors...

at work now and wanting to tell this place to go get FU*$#%

[Texasboy2727]

This song is just what I needed...thank you Mr. Coe

[wunderdone]

told um last week

[cainaleman]

This song is exactly what I was thinking when I put in my two weeks notice yesterday and then got fired 20 minutes later

[finishthagame]

@cainaleman

I had the same thing happen to me a couple a months ago.

[cwaknitz]

you are stupid david allan coe is the shit!!!!!!!! you dumb

[MartinLuther444]

Does anyone else think this dude sucks at singing?

[kwall360]

@MartinLuther444 ur fuckin dumb as hell. this is good ol country music.

[ShawnMcVey]

@MartinLuther444 regardless of kwall360's reply, most people that came to this song think DAC sings like a true American artist. Sorry if you don't. Shouldn't have come here, brother.

[lindenmeadow]

I've had moments when I wanted to say that very same thing! Face it--some jobs stink to high heaven, as do some bosses and coworkers. And there are probably few things worse than being stuck in a job you hate.

[ggm888]

@lindenmeadow yeah the best thing to do is to work for yourself

[lindenmeadow]

@ggm888 I suspect you're right. Or at least it would be for a lot of us!

[coywmoore]

@lindenmeadow Yeah, I had a moment earlier today where i did tell Rogers Trucking to take this job and shove it ! They are one of these trucking companies that want to run u to death, and then run u to death some more, and pay as little as they can get by with !

[lindenmeadow]

@coywmoore I've done jobs that paid peanuts as well. Too much work for too little pay... Yes, jobs like those probably inspired this song in the first place!

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

To Howard Christian of Yelm, Washington: Take this job and shove it! I ain't workin' here no more you tightwad piece of shit! Been there 5 years, no raise, no benefits, nothing. Fuck you, I'm going back to college and I hope you die in a car fire! *middle finger*

[chubbzeeubbzee]

To Andre Fisher of South Merrick, NY. You can take this job and shove it up your cheap matzo ball fuckin ass!

[Killjoy9930]

To James Barnett of The Daniel Pitino Shelter in Owensboro, KY

You can take this job and shove it up your ass, lots a luck prick.

[deerhunter1029p]

To : Danny Cook of Jackson Mo, You can "take this job and shove it". YOU know where.

[Ninjamonkey767]

What a coincidence, I'm just about to quit my piece of shit job.

[GREYBOYER1]

if i ever get a job that the boss is a jackass and decide to quit, this is the song i'm gonna be thinking about lol.

[Tropico109]

@GREYBOYER1 you can quit but with written resignation, write down the lyrics of this song and give it to the boss before you do something humiliating to the boss :P

[zaaritha]

Like this!

[iamtyler1000]

i think this is better than Paycheck's version. don't get me wrong, tho Johnny Paycheck kicks ass
