Weird Jobs Nobody Knows About

"I bounce on a pogo stick in a clown outfit. I was a professional pogoer BEFORE I got this job. I have been doing it for 8 years, and my current boss found my video on Youtube and offered me a job. Luckily I was located only about an hour and a half away and had no job at the time he contacted me."

Person Wonders Why Nobody Asks Men What Their Favorite Flowers Are, So This Twitter User Did And Got 35 Colorful Answers

My dad’s favourite was dahlias, because his grandfather used to grow them when he was a boy. When he died we had dahlias instead of roses in all the flower arrangements. At my brothers wedding the year after there was this huge beautiful dahlia growing at the wedding venue, so it felt like he was there too.

Fastest-Fired-Coworkers

I worked in maintenance at a beach resort. One of the housekeepers managed to get her son a job as a 'runner', someone who would collect the dirty laundry after the housekeepers stripped the beds. She was actually worried when he started working, because I guess he'd a bad track record with other jobs. About three days after he started working, his mother confronted him about his new, expensive-looking athletic shoes and a gold chain around his neck. He just shot back something about having a job now, which didn't make sense because he hadn't even been paid yet. About the same time, there were a couple of reports at the front desk from guests who were missing large sums of money. A police report was made, and people were questioned. So after only about four days, this kid was fired and went to jail for stealing from guest rooms.
