The lousy/stupid things you've done for money. Put an end to popups!

Laura and I once sacrificed our 8 month-old daughter on the altar of Scientific Advancement for bucks.

No, really, we did. Somebody at the U of TN was doing a graduate study of... something to do with how/if infants memorize things. Baby Sophie had to look at some flashing lights for about 45 seconds, and we got $10 for it. Come to think about it, that baby has made more money on an hourly basis ($800/hour!) by her 8th month than her old man likely will ever.

I also had this really pathetic and boring job making sure all these little shiites properly filled in the circles on their standardized tests. We had to go through the tests (with a #2 pencil of course) and make sure they coded in their name/SS number in properly, and then make sure they filled in the bubbles correctly. Of course, a lot of kids didn't follow the FREAKIN' SIMPLE RULES...

(OK, I'm over it. God that job sucked)

... Anyway, a lot of the little bastiges checked/lined through/whatever instead and it was my job to make sure their lines turned into properly filled out bubbles.

I lasted 5 days at that job, and only that long because my best friend worked there and we'd get... uh, "in the proper mental framework" before our shift started.

Nothing really short term but had a really horrific summer job doing groundskeeping work for billionaries, it just sucks knowing that all the work you're doing (such as raking seaweed off the beach) is absolutely and completely pointless.

You had to rake seaweed off a rich guy's beach? Didn't that make you feel like a loser?

basicly i was at party and this one girl was kinda drunk and flirty. whatever, ill just be nice and play along. well after like five minutes she shoved her hand down my pants and i was like,"we really shouldnt do this". and she said "what can i do to change your mind?"

i told her to pay me whatever she had in her wallet and all she had was a jackson. one of my more regretable moments of my life. afterward doing our thing, she passed out and i went through her wallet. she really was pissed broke but she had a phone card that hadnt been used yet, so i took it.

In my flat, we charge each other (and those next door) 20p to use the oven, 10p to use the toilet etc... Since they can't be bothered going next door, they usually pay up.

Me and my best mate spent several hours today going around the pubs in Scunthorpe (which is embarassing enough in itself) trying to win money on all the quiz machines.

I came home £15 lighter. He went home £25 lighter.

In one of my many camping trips during summer of my senior year, We packed 96 hot dogs w/o the buns. And we were in the middle of nowhere with this crap without anything else to eat for that day.

Long story short, I ate 36/96 to win the $15 bet. And at least half of them were still frozen.
