Most useless jobs you've seen!

[miss soul fire]

Well here we have lots of "excuses for a job". Too many to name, but we have one that beats them all!

HANDING VERY SMALL ADVERTISEMENTS!

Most people on the streets refuse to take them and when they do they throw them on the floor. (yes most people here are pigs, they should be fried and cooked with "feijoada")

I've talked about people in my workplace to friends and had to explain that their jobs, such as Media Buyer and Database Administrator, are real jobs with specific duties that take some kind of knowledge, but they swear blue in the face that they aren't real jobs at which point I can't be bothered trying to argue the point.

my job

the over populated policemen in small cities and towns.


Like what jerry or george said on seinfield, they should the trashmen too

Although I enjoy the courtesy and free smokes, the bathroom attendants at clubs are kind of useless. I can get my own towel to dry my hands. Plus I always feel guilty if I don’t tip them but that shit gets expensive.

A Quiznos opened about a half-mile from me. They pay a kid minimum wage to stand outside in two- and four-hour shifts holding a maybe 5' wide QUIZNOS sign.

He's at a major intersection--there are five lights, five flows of traffic. The only change in his sign-holding routine is this: when the light changes, so that he can target oncoming traffic, he gets to pivot his position 45-90 degrees.

That's a sucky and a blowy job.

HAHA, i've seen pizza guys do that. Theres a guy here, during tax season, that stands outside with a sign saying "Let us do your taxes" while wearing this crazy statue of liberty costume. Simply amusing.

Oh and he waves to

We have that too! In the spring, they had this guy from Jamaica in a Statue of Liberty costume handing out tax coupons. He looked like he was having real fun doing that (not kidding--he was completely making the best of it).

I don't know if I'd like a job working at Cold Stone Creamery (ice cream). They make you sing on demand for the customers. That place, by the way, smells in a way that makes my stomach turn over. I would not like to work there.

^ actually telemarketing was the shit when I was 16-18.

$5 an hour at mcdonalds vs $9 an hour calling dirtballs about Capital One cards.



The most useless job I have encountered is the "safety lady" at my job. She advises people to sit in their chairs correctly and makes us watch videos about cooking turkeys properly. Im not even kidding.

I know people who would do that job well and who, in fact, do that job anyway with most people they meet, whether they're already sitting correctly or not.
