What would be the scariest job you can have at night?

Nightshift job at 24/7 gym
Security at a mall
Nighttime janitor at a library
Cashier at 24/7 gas station.

Nighttime janitor at a library. I could sneak off and read and not get caught, lol.

Thanks.

Overnight cashier at gas station is by far the most dangerous.

I definitely wouldn’t want 3rd shift at a gas station. My husband used to do that a long time ago, encountered a lot of weird characters.

Depending on other safety, probably the cashier.

Gym and library are more relaxing than troubling. People don't rob gyms and libraries very often.

Security has its attached risks but there is no benefit to anyone by confronting you. You also have training, equipment (not enough), and hopefully colleagues and backup.

As for the cashier at night? Generally alone. Good target. Sure there are safety precautions and with you basically handing over things as a rule you're not at much risk. But there is a mental shift from being the solution to the problem as a guard and the target of the problem.

You need to watch mr. Nightime youtube videos.

I can't tell if you're trying to scare or recommend me good videos. Shouldn't you be held responsible if it is the former?

[Akam93]

Well there real scary stories actually.

[Effably]

I'll be back and expecting consolation if I'm scared later. Well played.

I've been out at night in middle of the forest, no homes for miles, completing bird and bat surveys. We are talking a 40 minute to 1 hour walk from any roadway and all you hear is breaking branches in the woodland. . Could be wolf, a bear, a moose, a deer, anything, but you have to sit there at each station in the middle of the night and you can't leave.

I did the 24/7 gas station night shift. I was 17 and all by myself. It was a small storefront type and I was self contained, for the most part. 3 years and thankfully I never had any issues.
Best job I ever had tbh. 4 days on, 4 days off. Nights were quiet. Even without the internet I loved it.
It was great for a teenager.

Vampire hunter. The day shift of that is MUCH easier. Less glamorous, though.

snake catcher...

Night cleaner at morgue

[FeelingGroovy]

That was me! lol Imagine mopping a floor at midnight, while surrounded by dead people on gurneys.
They just had sheets over them.
I was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

[roy_ricky09]

Even the thought of it is scary

[FeelingGroovy]

A mop job that should take about 30 minutes, can be done in 30 seconds if you're fast enough.

Mortuary maybe
