I think any purely manual, highly repetitive job would kill me. Like assembly line work.
I worked as a dishwasher in a small restaurant as a teenager. Those 2 4-hour shifts felt like they lasted DAYS.
Having done a few weeks of highly repetitive work, the worst was when I had to bundle items in groups of 10. I couldn't think a thought more complex, that repeating song lyrics to myself. When I got a few hours feeding a machine that counted for itself, it was liberating.
I used to be a pharm tech. Filling prescriptions was chill, because it meant you didn't really have to do too much thinking, just scan the bottles, count, and slap a label on it. It was really frustrating as an AuDHD haver because I would sometimes just start talking to myself in my head or paying attention to literally anything besides how many pills I'd counted. Like I'd need to count out 30 pills and next thing I know I'd just have a huge pile of pills that I'd "counted" by 5s but I'd have zero clue how many were there lol.
