According to the statement "Everyone has a price," all people, regardless of their values and principles, can be influenced to do something if they are offered an appropriate reward.

Determined to find out to what extent these words hold true, one person made a post on Reddit, asking its users to reveal the nastiest thing they did for money.

Some of the replies certainly reinforce the fact that 79% of folks think they would be happier if they were richer.

Call center agents working with headsets, focusing on tasks related to earning money. I worked at a call center. It was the most degrading work I’ve ever done.

    Person in a white lab coat with folded arms, holding a red stethoscope, symbolizing work for money. Let medical students practice genital and rectal exams on me. In fact I’m literally sitting here in my medical gown and waiting for the next student to come.

    Close-up of a modern lock and handle on a secure wooden door. It was 2020 right before the pandemic. I went to an older man’s house who I responded to on craigslist for a cleaning service. I didn’t know it was like a secret kink post tho. I get over there and he made me lick all the handles in his home. Made $3000 though ! Helped a lot.

    Person using a laptop in a dimly lit room, related to money and regrets. During a dark time in my life I used to sell Norton Internet Security.

    Kangaroo standing upright in a natural setting, showcasing its strong posture and alert expression. I worked in a kangaroo skin tannery, grading kangaroo balls by size, for sorting into either pet food or for coin purses for tourists.... Roo ball bags stink and the ticks are massive.

    Woman in a cozy jacket sticking out her tongue in a parking lot, reflecting shameful money stories. In highschool, ate a piece of gum stuck under a bus seat for 2$. And I was proud of myself

    An excavator working in a large landfill, illustrating people's efforts for money amid waste. Working on the active face of a landfill. To get to the work sites, you often times would have to navigate on foot through the "active face" aka where the trash is dumped. You can't comprehend all the sights and smells at once - too many shapes, colors, and stinking wet slop. So you look down at your feet. You plod carefully around hoping you don't slip and fall onto the garbage, which may stick you broken glass, needles, or rusty rebar if you were to be so careless. The municipal garbage is smelly but tolerable. Its really the construction debris that's noxious. The construction debris trucks come and loudly dump a lot of somethings and the thick white dust that comes off it leaves you gasping. You lose a little bit of your hearing every day, and you get more used to the bad air. And you pray to God that you get out of the dumps for good.

    Hand organizing pills in a weekly pill box on a dark surface, demonstrating ways people earn money. I tested medications because I was in need. I will never do it again.

    Can of worms on a wooden table, representing a shameful money-making act. Cooked maggots I worked for a company that made natural pest control and natural animal feed. My job was to cook maggots for the natural bird feed they made. This was actually one of my favorite jobs to do for that company.

    A close-up of a green fly resting on a leaf, symbolizing shameful money actions. While deployed, my buddies chipped in $200 for me to eat a fly strip. An old fly strip, with flies. In Iraq. The stipulation was that I could use water, but I had to keep it down for at least an hour for it to count. I made it an hour and two minutes. The hardest part eating it was that fly strips have ridiculously sticky resin that makes eating them a huge challenge. My technique was to make little balls that I could swallow with copious water. I saw them all later. Between that and other stupid stuff done for money, I didn’t need to draw casual pay for the entire deployment.
