What is the strangest job you ever had? (jobs, pay, temp)

Counting taxis?

Working at a sewer plant!

I spent the entire summer between HS and college looking for work. Got a temp job that lasted ONE day - packing books in boxes. That was it for the whole summer. Not very weird though. Guess I have led a sheltered life!

All my jobs have been pretty standard. I worked as a switchboard operator once.

Lol. I applied for work at a cemetery once. Must have been office-type work, I don't remember.

My mom's SO was in plot sales for a while, too. He'd always joke, "Wanna buy a grave?" with a big grin on his face. lol

Spent two full winters and a part of a third down in Antarctica working as a lab manager. The job itself wasn't strange, but the location was quite different/strange as compared to the rest of the world.

Telemarketing in some guy's basement while I was in high school. Pretty shady, but the pay was actually decent.
