What was the weirdest job you ever had?

I never have had a really weird job, but some were pretty strange like when I was working for the conductor of a symphony as his assistant. My job consisted of "Irishing up" his coffee every morning and forging his signature, and then I'd just sit there getting $10 an hour to listen to some really awesome music for a couple of hours.

OK, I have omly heard the term "Fudge Packing" once before. I guess it's rare for someone to call girl a fudge packer, even when they are gay.

Its a funny pic, now that I get it.

I spent one summer as a crab fisher. But not the cool kind like you see on TV, quite the opposite in fact. Mostly it was eighteen hour days chugging between little pots then pulling them up, and the only drama was when the skipper couldn't make it to the gunwhale to puke.

Saying that, I nearly lost my life several times owing to funky weather, and all because people want cheap crab at the dinner table.

Heh, the slut stories are so much easier to remember....

Anyway, one night I was making a delivery to one of the apartment complexes that are a good mile off campus. After I'd delivered the pizza, and was ready to take off, this pair of girls, completely wasted, came running up to me to ask me to drive them to campus. They were cute enough, and since it happened often and I personally wouldn't want to walk all that way either, I told them sure. They both loaded into the cab of the truck, and I backed out of the parking lot and headed towards campus. The girl who had asked for the ride was sitting next to me, and she decided that she wanted to sit on my lap and help me drive the truck, so she tried to climb into my lap while jerking the steering wheel around. I tried to hold her down, off of my lap, while attempting to keep the truck on the road. We proceeded to swerve down the road until she inexplicably turned around and started kissing me, and at the same time jerked the steering wheel so hard to the right that the truck ran up onto the sidewalk and onto the lawn in front of one of the science buildings, before I slammed on the brakes and stopped the truck. I got out of the truck and forced them out too, but instead of just walking away, they both decided to get into the bed of the truck as I was backing back onto the road. So I had to get back out of the truck, pull them down from the bed, and threaten to call the cops to get them to leave me alone.

More slut stories, then? Or, y'know, just the highlights of the pizza delivery career.

Incidentally, one two occasions now, I've been the girl who realizes at the last minute that I don't have money for the tip. Both times, I've emptied out the junk drawer in search of things that could be substituted. I think once I gave magnetic poetry and the other time was ... staples, string, tape, thumbtacks, and colourful paperclips. I'm surprised my house hasn't been blacklisted by the local pizza places. But twice was enough, and now I make sure to factor in the tip when figuring out if I can afford pizza or if I've gotta cook AGAIN.

Methadone dispenser.
Junk mail packer. (putting stuff in envelopes really, not weird but people hated me for doing it) :)

Roadie. Had to be the best, I worked on gigs for Rolf Harris (v.v. funny when he toured universitys) and Fat Boy Slim, where I got yelled at by Zoe Ball for not enjoying the gig. (he was still on an hour after the supposed end and I had to take all the stuff down afterwards).

Current weird job. I make fish pigment. :)

The slut stories usually are the highlights.

One time I had a delivery to a house not too far away from the store. This girl came to the door (slightly drunk, of course) and I handed her the pizza. She took it, then took my hand and pulled me inside, and said, "I don't have a tip for you, sorry. But I do have this for you." She then took the cash out of her pocket and put them down the front of her pants, and with my hand still in hers, stuck my hand down her pants and told me to get the money....

I worked on gigs for ... Fat Boy Slim

I used to have a hamster named Fat Boy Slim. He was born really fat and got absurdly skinny before evening out, thus the name. He was the escape artist of my hamsters (7 at that point. The first one was pregnant when I got her >.<). I used to play the Rockafeller Skank for him and he wake up when he heard it, run on his wheel throughout the whole song, and go back to sleep when it was over.

Incidentally, I now have a stuffed dancing hamster that plays the same song.

The Wierdest job I ever had was being the "drink bitch" to a paint crew. Lacking any other job at the time, and being a regular on a roofing crew, I thought I would be doing what I normally do when roofing, which is, cleanup everything, bring stuff to the painters, and get the food. But my only job was literally to sit around until someone needed a drink, then go to the store and get it.

I got paid by the hour for this for about a week. And on the subject of stories, I do have one story involving women (or a woman). As usualy I was working with a roofing crew on this house (me, and two roofers), and I had to go through the house to the bathroom window to knock some shingles that were hanging down and not let it scrape the house. Well, I went up a set of stairs, turned and standing right there in a doorway (to her room) was this amazing redhead (I knew her from school, it was quite awkward) in her underwear. It took her a bit to realize I was there, standing motionless, and that promptly induced a loud shriek, giggling, and a slamming of the door. After a few weeks of worrying night after night of a lawsuit or something, I finally was able to walk past her in school, though every conversation after that was not without some awkward silences.

I think the weirdest job I ever had,

I kept records for a government program that was rebated farmers for money they spent improving thier genetic cattle stock. What did this mean in practice?

I kept receipts and records for the type, quantity, and quality of the bulls and bull semen sold in my home county, and then transmitted that info to a guy in the state capital.

Funny thing, a lot of the farmers are abusing the system. I noticed that 4 farmers living on the same street have sold themselves the same bull 7 or 8 times, sometimes more than once a day, and they collect thier $1000 dollars for buying the bull each time.

It happened dozens of times in different variations. One time a girl answered the door naked with the money between her breasts, and she told me that if I wanted a tip I had to get the money using my teeth. There were five or ten people in the house with her; it was obviously a dare. Another time a girl offered me a blow job as a tip. The sex tips were much fewer than the beer or pot tips, but much more memorable.

Well I only said drunk because the sober ones rarely offered you that sort of tip. It really took a lot of alcohol for a girl to lower her inhibitions that much.

I think that, with the infrequency of beautiful girls ordering Dominos pizza, that I would forego the tip in every case of a hot girl allowing me to feel her up. It wouldn't happen enough for it to hurt my wallet too much.

Believe me, you made his day anyway. So much of a delivery boy's day is taking pizzas to families who tip him $.65 and whine about the service, that even if he doesn't get a tip from you, just not being a heinous bitch with sand in her vagina is enough to make his night.

My brother died from using it and half of our house burned down when a meth lab exploded up our street... 4 people dead.
Very sorry to hear that. My condolences. I got out of the business because I ended up hating myself for what I was doing. That and my life expectancy was fast approaching nil, despite the fact I had no inclination to actually use the shit I was making. I'm NOT proud of what I did, let me assure you. I was strung out on Morphine & Heroin the entire time...hence my morals/scruples had become negligible by the time I started making the garbage.

One of the more insane things I witnessed (but refused to have any part in) was someone using potassium ferro cyanide (yes cyanide..though it was a bonded molecule form, therefore not the super deadly shit) as a catalyst for the reaction, instead of the usual red phosphorous.

This summer I worked as a technician in an animal research lab. I worked mainly with mice, determining breedings, killing undesirable mice en masse with a carbon dioxide gas chamber, and killing desirable mice by breaking their necks and dissecting them for whatever experiment is necessary. The method for breaking a mouse's neck is this: pin down the neck with the length of a pencil, and slowly pull the tail until you hear the vertebrae snap. At first it was really creepy but then I got used to it, and I rationalize all this killing by learning that mice are violent murderous types anyways. Mother mice will eat their babies for moisture if they run out of water, non-virgin males always fight and try to bite each others' balls off, and all males will kill baby mice that are not theirs'.

Anyways how about a nice stoner story from your days a pizza boy Sdaeriji. Stoners are always good for a laugh.

HA! I would imagine.

Believe me, you made his day anyway. So much of a delivery boy's day is taking pizzas to families who tip him $.65 and whine about the service, that even if he doesn't get a tip from you, just not being a heinous bitch with sand in her vagina is enough to make his night.
Always always always be kind and generous to the people who bring you food. They have your food....


Anyway-

I've been a proffesional ass a few times:

- Sold knock off perfume business to business for a week. You won't believe the bullshit these assmonkeys tell themselves every morning.

- Sold car stereos out of the back of a car for exactly a day. The highlight-the guy who was supposed to 'train' me (by taking me to a spanish speaking area and speaking spanish all day knowing that I did not) had a suspended liscence so he had me drive, not knowing mine was suspended too. I got to drive his all-wheel drive turbo Talon. I kept put the sport settings on when he wasn't looking. That job didn't even look right.

- Telesurveys. bleh.

- Telemarketing. I'm sorry. Nothing you do can really effect these people. All the things I've seen people say they do gets done enough times a day that it's just another thing. The only real thing you can do that actually pisses them off is waste thier time-feign intrest and keep them going until you bail on the whole deal 15 minutes later. Pranksters are just one more step they take to the sale, they just don't care.

- Ninja Turtle. I went to kids birthday parties dressed as a Ninja Turtle or other character, as well as picnics. Best. Job. Ever. Ask Lunatic Goofballs.

My friends and I sometimes go out for pizza. We're strange and random people, but we haven't scared off any customers yet and we tip 25-50% on a cheap day. The trick is to tip well and then nobody hates you ^.^

A friend of a guy I know was a guy hired by Toys R Us to be the cool teenager playing with various toys. Apparently it was very boring. After a couple of days, the guy I know went to visit him and he was lying there in the Lego aisle, very very still. The Lego over his head spelled out "please kill me." He was so happy when he got fired.

... I wish I was the cool teenager who played with the toys. Except the nearest Toys R Us is too far away :(

Roadie. Had to be the best, I worked on gigs for Rolf Harris (v.v. funny when he toured universitys) and Fat Boy Slim, where I got yelled at by Zoe Ball for not enjoying the gig. (he was still on an hour after the supposed end and I had to take all the stuff down afterwards).

Are we talking local crew or actual road crew here? Either way a tip of the hat from one of the hum scum here. I haven't done much crew work, but certainly found it a soul destroying occupation compared to actually running a mixing desk.

DJing has been the job thats gotten me into the wierdest situations, but its been ages since I did it on a regualr basis.

Having a 15 year old girl come up to me and tell me I could do anything I wanted with her if I gave her a bunch of E...yeesh! I told her I'd give her all the E she wanted for the rest of her life if she promised to never ask someone that question again. Definitely a turning point for me in regards to my attitude towards the entire scene.

Having some scamp start messing with the faders and knobs while I was mixing was another low point...the fucktard.

Also had people try to steal my records from my bin WHILE I was playing.

On the whole, having to be sober while spinning (cuz my mixing skills go to shit when I do get high on anything...well except ...nevermind) I got to see what I must have looked like to sober people during the times I did do E and the like. No thanks, don't want to look/be that stupid in public.

In high school, I taught rock climbing.

Also, one summer I worked for a company that would buy estates... and then my crew would go in to take anything that was salvagable for sale in the flea/furniture market. It was actually a lot of fun... because we paid so little for the estates, we didn't have to be real careful with things unless we thought they would be worth a lot. So we used to throw furniture out of second-floor windows and just make big piles on the lawn. Whatever survived, we sold.

My sister just got back from her shift at McD's. Apparently to rather smashed girls came in and ordered some food. When my sister asked for the money, the started hitting on her. She put out her hand and ask for the money again. The one girl grabbed my sister's hand, put it up her(the drunk girl) shirt and said "Are we even now?" My sister had a good laugh at that and did get the money.


Anyway, the moral of the story is "When you are drunk enough, you can't tell what gender other people are.

Harmless hates testosterone chest-thumping harmless little old me (well, okay, I'm 6'2" and know jiu-jitsu, but you get the idea) got into a fist fight with this crazy Afrikaaner (south african redneck) right near the edge of a cliff (I'm afraid of hights) in a Greek resort town. This guy was just a total ass. I'd met him after doiung a set @ The Pink Club, the single most sketchy and everything right and wrong about the scene place you can find on the planet. He just kind of attached himself to me, and at first it wasn't such a problem.

At first he seemed nice enough, in a sketchy kind of way..but *everybody* was sketchy, self included, on that little jaunt. Anyways, on the ferry ride back from the mainland, asked if he could draw and write something in my sketchbook, which is something I've always encouraged friends I make during my travels to do. I handed the book over to him and he proceeded to spend the next 45 minutes making a sketch, which he wouldn't let me peek at while he was drawing it. When he handed my book back to me, I saw a full page drawing, very well executed (he was talented) with the most vile racist picture of an African I'd ever seen. I'm talking horns, leering eyes, hands down pants, every single racist evil stereotype you can imagine. Surrounding the picture was the text "The Devil is a Kaffir-Man!"

It was like he'd defiled my entire book with that one drawing. I 'd been up for a few days already, having rather heavily overindulged (impossible not to do so where I'd just come from) so I was really showing just how pissed off I was. While on the ferry he avoided me, but as soon as we got off the thing, he got into my face spouting racist BS and calling me a ****** lover. As if that wasn't bad enough, he started vilely insulting this beautiful (in mind body & spirit) Ethiopian girl I'd become friends with during the same period. Called her "Black bitch only good for making little fucking ****** devils" As I said, I'd been up for days. Before I even knew what I was doing, my fist connected with his face. (I never get into fights..I HATE violence)

We rolled around on the ground bashing each other with our fists and feet, and nearly rolled off the cliff. The fight only ended because a couple local gendarmes pulled us apart. I thought we were both done for at that point (Greek Police = Not nice dudes, usually) but it turned out this Afrikaaner dude had a record and was wanted for starting trouble in the same damn area several times, and had warrants for possesion/trafficing of PCPs, Metch, everything nasty vile.

The Gendarmes hauled him off, kicking and screaming, trying to implicate me as someone as vile as him the whole time. Fortunately they'd seen the entire thing play out and just took my statement, let me wash up and sent me packing. I'm sure they worked he Afrikaaner over far worse than I did. I ended up playing my remaining 3 gigs with a great big black-eye and nasty cut across my forehead. and a cracked knucklebone on my right hand. None of the people I was met afterwards could figure out how someone got me mad enough to fight, as I'm usually so laid back. When I explained things, they just nodded knowingly. Karl (the afrikaaner) had a reputation all over the area for just such BS, it turns out.

I guess the funniest story/stupidest thing - job related, that is - that ever happened to me was when I was about 17. I had a job cleaning trucks in a moving company, and I did it together with a couple of other guys. Now we weren't allowed to move the trucks ourselves, there were drivers running around on the perimeter for doing that. But we had just finished with a truck, and this guy who had worked there for far longer than me comes up to me and says to just go ahead, do it, it's only 10 meters straight ahead (actually that was all there was to it)... So I get in. Now you have to keep in mind that I had never even sat behind the steering wheel of a car, even to move it a meter or two, and this was a truck from about 50 tonnes or something (no joke, they used used these for international moving, two-week journeys and all that). I ended up driving straight ahead, not even knowing how to brake, and being stopped only by crashing into an iron fence... less than two meters next to a gas pump used for re-fuelling the trucks. My dad -who worked there- saved my @ss by making a statement that he moved the truck, and that his foot slipped on some soap that had not been thoroughly washed off. This really was one of the scariest things that ever happened to me.
