I once got paid $75 to stuff envelopes in the back room at an office. Super easy $75 and now I'm good at stuffing envelopes at my current job.
Me too but my Dad paid me when I was 14 to do this for his own side business,
That sounds like a calming job!
I got paid $15 per hour to count people walking past a shop. It was 16 hours per day for a month, but they also paid for meals and drinks.
sounds easy enough but boring as shit 😂
I got paid to drive to a wedding that the family sent the wrong date.
I specifically was there to help take care of the grandmother of the groom or bride. But they gave my boss the wrong date. It was about a 2 hour drive round trip so I was annoyed. But they paid for my time and gas.
Even more bizarre, when I returned the next day for the actual reception, I was instructed by my boss to help this lady get dressed, eat at the reception, and get undressed.
She was already dressed, just needed a quick stop to the bathroom that a family member assisted with, a meal that she ate pretty much herself but I had to encourage her to eat, and another family member volunteered to take her to her room when the speeches and dances were all done.
I literally got paid time and my gas (including the mistake of the wrond day) and a delicious salmon dinner and unlimited treats from the "candy bar" and several sodas to take a lady to the bathroom once, then make sure she at least ate a 4th her food, then go home after maybe 2 hours of actual work.
From what I remember, the grandmother lived with her daughter (who was either MoG or MoB), and the grandmother was starting to have inappropriate outburst. But she was perfectly rational the whole time I was there and one of her other relatives was more than happy to take over care.
Was walking home one day and this store employee wearing clothes of a local supermarket was standing on the side of the road visibly distressed holding a shopping cart full of those tetrapack milk cartons. Turns out the garbage company they hired brought a slightly smaller truck that day so he had to wait for an hour for them to come back. He offered me some of the money he had for the garbage men which was abt $70 to take it and dump them in my sink. We wheeled the cart to my home, popped open a can of beer and chatted for an hour before he left.
I ofc didn't want to waste all that milk like that so looked on yt and made like 10 or 12 lbs of cheese from that, with the remaining whey water i made kombucha, some pickled veggies, watered plants. My house smelled like whey or cheese for several months lol
so not only did u get paid for it, u also got hella free stuff. massive win man, wish it was me.
An elderly neighbour paid me £60 to water their allotment while they were on holiday for a week. it was the middle of a heatwave, so i went early in the morning and late in the evening to avoid the heat. I love gardening so i honestly would have done it for free but she insisted.
I worked in a big industrial kitchen with automated food packaging machines. Food goes into a pastic container, the air is sucked out, then replaced with a CO2/nitrogen mixture, before it's sealed.
Well one Friday the machine broke down and it wasn't possible to get it fixed right away. So we had to drive to a remote storage facility and get an old replacement, and get it setup in the kitchen.
The automated system was all computer controlled, so everything was done with precise measurements. The old replacement, however, was not computer controlled or compatible with the conveyor system in any way. After the food went into the plastic container, you had to manually put it in the machine, punch in how much air had to be removed and how much CO2/N you wanted in, then manually hold down a lever to seal the container. All that had to be done for each and every container....and we had about 850 of them ready to go through.
What normally would take one person 3 hours tops to do (mainly just keeping an eye on things) suddenly took 2 persons an entire weekend, 6 hours Friday and 12 hours both Saturday & Sunday.
But hey, we were paid like royals for it.
Worked my way through college before Covid by sitting at the bottom of the stairs at a bar by their second door to keep people from holding the door open and letting others in (bypassing the front door and the guy checking ids). Literally sat there for seven hours reading and got paid for it. Usually finished a book a night.
I'm a novelist. In December, my cousin, who is also a writer, paid me $10k for the title of a book I came up with and didn't want to write. I'm enjoying her money. She now has to write that book!
My grandma once paid me $40 because I turned on high contrast mode on her computer and fixed a problem where she was accidentally typing in the header instead of the main part of the document. It makes more sense when you know she was doing something time-sensitive, but I thought it was a lot of money for only about 7 minutes of troubleshooting.
Then your fucked up that’s something you do for your grandma?
“ browse, read it in the office because no one gives me work to do.” Most relatable thing I’ve ever read. I literally have a chain of emails with my boss asking for work to do going back over a year. Nothing.
11:37 with husbands like that who needs enemies
Fr that shit was wild
Some guy payed me 45 bucks to scoop one single shovel of dirt out of his backyard
Great topic
Friend bet $100 to down a cup of chum on a charter fishing boat, he had to keep it down for an hour, he did. Fair deal for $100 paid.
I won a $100 bet from a friend when he bet me, I couldn't stand on my knees and fall forward without bracing or stopping myself from hitting the ground with my arms. He thought it was physically impossible. He said every human would naturally catch themselves with their arms. I did it 3 times in a row. It wasn't even hard.
My grandad paid me £100 for passing my driving test. He thought i was never going to drive
My mum also paid me to do her ironing for her travelling bag. It was 3 dresses
Being a cashier at a grocery store. Half of my elderly customers are inconsiderate, ask me about sales I don't know a damn thing about, some smell like they shit themselves or let their cat use their clothes as a litter box, take forever to get their shit out (groceries and payment methods)/put it away, can't hear worth shit so I have to yell so they can here me, and write checks/give exact change instead of using a fucking debit card or paying with just dollar bills. I fucking hate my job for these reasons, and I want to quit every fucking time I go to work, especially since I don't get paid enough for the shit I deal with.
Plugged in a printer to the wall for someone who couldn't figure out why their printer stopped working entirely.
Heh, the one where the poster was paid to have their hair cut reminds me of when my brother, who I was living with at the time, offered to pay for my haircut for me. I turned him down, not because I was that dead set on being a guy with long hair, but because I needed it a few inches longer before I could donate it to make wigs for kids with cancer.
Thats honorable. I donated my hair to Locks of Love one year.
Got paid for delivering a drink to someone despite not being a bartender or something similar. Regardless, I liked getting paid and worked at the restaurant for a while… till Covid
Back when slimes was popular I got paid 150 USD to make slime go to a rich neighborhood and man a slime station. It was actually alot of fun and I probably could have done that as a regular job but I never did.
Several times, I was paid to spend the night at work . They needed to have two people in the building but I wasn't allowed to provide aid to the residents, so I watched TV and slept in a private room while being paid.
2:50 I had to do this sort of thing for my major as a communication scholar because of psychology class looking back on it it was actually quite fun if not a bit tedious, and I contributed to science! Too bad my only payment was course credit.
2:33
Now thats something I would do. Pay people money to call tell they've been fooled is just too good to pass
Got paid $500 to convince a guy's ex girlfriend their relationship was really over.
(The guy was a friend,his ex girlfriend was exactly like lara flynn boil character in the first Wayne's world movie .)
Can’t say I ever got paid to do something dumb…. But I have rather insane amount of luck getting free food for some reason not even like demanding refunds or anything like that
I was paid as a movie extra at a basketball game. Same thing as the TV extra, we had to silently yell and look angry while the game was going on.
My Grandpa paid me $20 to roll coins for him. But I would've done it for free because it was nice to spend time with my grandparents.❤
He had a LOT of coins and he had numbness in his fingers due to diabetes so it was worth it to him to pay someone
It wasn't intentional but my groceries got delivered to the wrong house. Amazon Fresh wouldn't tell me where. They refunded the whole order. Next day, neighbor brought them over. Any perishable I had to throw away but Amazon wouldn't reverse the refund. I got paid to get my groceries late and to the wrong house brought to me by my neighbor.
Wuzinie wuzinie wuzinie wuzinie
16.75/hr to stand as a greeter and keep count of customers entering in '20.
2$ and a piece of cheese to sweep dirt cause it was dirty
Not me, but one time I saw someone drink a jar full of pickle juice for $20
I got paid to do a lot of stuff
I got paid to try the new menu for a restaurant i got a job at
I also get paid every week to basically sit around.
what a fool when your rival catches you spying and you offer to do the same for him for money of course
Why does the one person have sharp objects within reach of the dog?
Because humans are inherently evil
Got 20 bucks to clean a dish of totten goose liver pate.
13:54 why is nobody talking about this
Other location needed a little bit of excel code, less than 30 characters. Send them their code, send them a file with the code, spend 10 minutes with them over a voice call. Pretty sure they played stupid. Supervisor ordered me to get there and do it myself. Ask 3 times if they are for real and another 2 if this was a joke. Nope.
So I got into the company car, drove 2.5 hours there, walk in, say hey, type for roughly 14 seconds without sitting down, turn around and leave, 2.5 hours drive back to my location.
Was actually later told it wasn't a big deal. Not my car and I get hourly, and a fair bit more than minimum wage...
I used to get paid up in the oil fields to watch ponds for 10 to 14 hours a day......
Damn my guy dodged a bullet there, I posted a video that sounds it might be from this same guy, he must be regretting it now
£25 to stop crying when I slammed my thumb in a car door when I was a kid ... It worked somehow
Enumeration work for Elections Canada. Just going door to door to register voters (got paid per name - pretty easy).
My dad once offered me the cost of a tattoo I wanted to get if I didn't get it. Turned down the offer
Good dad, though. Did you eventually get the tattoo?
@@roxcyn oh yeah absolutely, 500 pounds less than if I had taken his offer cause it costed like 250 but it's been about 6 years now and no regrets at all
@@MrJpmono - Oh, nice. What design did you get?
I was once paid $10 dollars and a free lunch for an entire day to sit in a room while listening to people in suits talk, and then finally judging someone Ive never met by talking shit about them for an hour with 11 other people.
Ah yes, a jury of one's peers lol
ohh damn the haircut for money reminds me that a 2 coworker of mine offerd me (guy) 1'200$ to cut my long hair but i refused and i to this day i havent had a haircut (4 years)
Woah, $1200?! And wait, don't they like your hair? 😢
The guy who was payed ti keep the mate on track should know his mate most likely has ADHD. The method is becoming known as body doubling
I do freelance security for events like concerts and sports games, and sometimes my work is just me getting paid $60-$120 to just stand around for 4-8 hours if it's a slow night. It's very easy money in addition to my day job, but you've got to have a high boredom tolerance for the days it's not busy because believe me, the most entertainment you'll have those nights is visitors asking you for directions.
As soon as the story about the “wife’s panties” ended I started to smell that smell in my nose, weird lol
Your mom.
😂
I don't know how old the post that they used were. But medical marijuana has been legal in Australia since 2016.
