Assembly line, or any repetitive factory work.
I've tried and quit within days.

Strange side story. I worked for a fortune 300 company, and our Quality group wanted to institue a cross training program. There were people in our warehouse who's entire job was as follows:
1. Pick up piece a from converyor belt 1.
2. Pick up piece b from converour belt 2.
3. Connect piece a to piece b and put in a box.
8 hours a day. 5 days a week. The Quality group assumed that this must be the worst job ever, and we should start cross training these people so that they could move up into better jobs and develop careers in the company.
The cross training was pretty much universally rejected. No one wanted to be cross trained. I guess there really are people out there that want to walk in, shut off their brain, do menial work for 8 hrs, collect a paycheck, rince, repeat...

I did this for a summer, although the process was slightly different:
Fold out cardboard box
Put plastic liner in box
Wait for product to fill plastic liner
Close box, stack on pallet
Repeat
However, I worked with some really cool people, and all we did was listen to the radio and talk [censored]. And the pay was pretty good for a summer job, with time and a half for overtime.
Pretty much, it was like any job- so long as the people you are working with are good, its tolerable. If they were dicks, it would have sucked, but then any job would suck if you hate the people you work with.
