If you’ve ever been to a tourist-trap strip mall or promenade, you’ve probably seen a slew of sidewalk performers using their talents to entertain you. Well that’s one job that really sucks.

Especially the human contortionist.

“Hey, what do you do?”

“I’m a human contortionist at a strip mall.”

“Huh?”

“I put myself in a small box. Then I get out of the small box. Then I put myself in a small box. Then I get out of the small box. All day. For pennies.”

Punch yourself.

I will never complain again. never ever ever never. seriously.

The pure thought of using a portable toilet makes most people cringe…can you imagine cleaning/maintaining them for a living? This guy never knows what he might find….t-shirts, pants, gloves and even a bag of fish are amongst his many treasures he has scored cleaning toilets!

Something is definitely fishy about this job. Why someone would sit in front of a window for 8 hours a day counting the number of fish that swim by and “like it” is beyond me. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like my worst nightmare.

Man, he makes it look fun… Removing wallpaper sucks!

BAD idea of the year. Faking a job reference because you don’t have anything worthwhile to put on your resume. Feeling stuck because you “had” to take that summer job? Save yourself. Do a little research and you can get the INTERNSHIP of your dreams that will not only make your summer more kickass and REAL – but it will also put head turner references on your resume, gaining you that new shiny car and downtown loft faster than Joe Blow working as a sign twirler on Shitty Avenue.

We get so used to thinking of Santa as a saint that we forget that he preys on millions of innocent cookies each year.  This bad holiday job goes to the cookies.
