Long-ish but silly question

If you had to pick a job that would be totally shíte and uninteresting to you apart from one silly redeeming feature, what would it be?

I'd work in a bakery so I could shout "foccacia, comin' atcha" at customers.

Ooh, ooh! I'd be a hardened bitter cop whom nobody will work with because I'm a loose cannon, specifically so I could say things like "You want my badge? HERE'S MY DAMN BADGE. YOU CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS, CHIEF!" and "I'm gettin' too old for this sh*t..."

I'd work in a diner and wear a tacky pink diner outfit and say "More piiieeee, hun?"

I'd like a rubbish job in a fish processing factory purely for the simple pleasure of annoying everyone on the bus home with my piscine scent.

Me too. I handled fish professionally during my year out. It was great, getting up at 5am and cycling down the docks in the freezing cold. I've half a mind to quit my IT job and go back there.

Incidentally, during my fishy stint my radio alarm would put Radio 1 on at 5am every day. And every day the same song was on, i.e. the Fat Boy Slim remix of Wildchild's 'Renegade Master'. For months.

Who the fvck wants to listen to that at 5am? Every day. (or at all)

My brother used to listen to Atlantic 252 (he thinks he likes dance music, but doesn't know what real dance music is!). I still know all the words to 'Ice Ice Baby'!

Another one that was played to death on it !" take me dancing naked in the rain, Feel it...................."
Can't recall who recorded the original dance version but it was a classic, would love to hear it again

I remember it, it was by Blue Pearl. Rubbish, it was (and is).

Just to remain on topic, I'd like to be a jizz-mopper in a local dancing ladies establishment. While the job itself wouldn't be the best, walking down the street and eyeballing people who you'd seen at work, pumping their fist, would be quite good.

Although you'd have to first go through the trauma of seeing blokes who you live near tossing off.

I'd love to work in a sex shop and collect hundreds of crazy anecdontes with which to entertain my friends at dinner parties....oh wait I already did

But I'd also love to be a magician's assistant, purely for the spangly dresses!

Did you really work in a sex shop???

Do people actually buy those rubber arse and fanny things. I imagine having sex with one of those is a bit weird.

tSubh Dearg · 24-03-2005 5:25pm

yes I did but it was a fairly tame sex shop we didn't stock those items...we did sell viynl sheets though....that creeped me out enough, plus the 70 yr old man looking for a quiet vibrator!

grimsbymatt · 24-03-2005 5:50pm

Vinyl sheets! What for, bed-wetters or rimming?

Long-ish but silly question
