11. Eating Half A Watermelon
“Ok this wasn’t a job or anything…. But I got $10 to eat half a watermelon.” — Emotional-Bus-7956
12. Taking A Train
“Earned 700€ monthly for an internship which consisted of me sitting around all day, waiting for work which wouldn’t come because the company f*cked up the internship offer and accidentally hired someone they didn’t need at all. So basically I was being paid to take the train in the morning and then back in the evening.” — gs-28
13. Shopping On The Corporate Dime
“I was flown to Paris to do a compliance audit, the systems weren’t setup for the audit, couldn’t get access so spent the week being taken to restaurants and shopping. On 1 of the days and at the last minute the company decided to send me into London for a meeting, literally just to meet people. I missed the eurostar because I forgot my passport (totally blanked that I was entering another country), they had to rebook the eurostar. Nothing was achieved out of this trip. No audit was completed. Nothing came of the meeting. The cost to the company 25k++ for me to do nothing for a week. Corporate money is ridiculous money.” —_Justag1rl_
14. Fetish Drawing
“$1325. The guy wanted a drawing of his pony having sex with a bunch of balloons shaped like various cartoon characters in a massive collage. My rate charges per character per fetish, and he came to me fully prepared to dump $1500 on the complete commission after adding it all up himself. I gave him a discount since even I felt like it was insanity. I probably should have charged the full amount since it did end up taking me 2 weeks to do on and off just from burnout at drawing the same style balloon over and over just in different shapes, but that was definitely the most silly/dumb commission I’ve ever had, or at least the most I’ve been commissioned for something dumb/silly.” — Fissionlight
15. Shoveling Snow When There Was No Snow
“Got paid $300 to shovel my neighbor’s front steps and driveway while she was away on vacation all winter. It did not even flurry once.” — LeakyFaucett32
16. Moving Your Car
“I was paid $300 to move my car for a movie that was filming by my apartment.” — dragoblaster666
17. Putting Together Gym Equipment In 10 Seconds
“I was paid $50 to assemble some brand new gym equipment for a friend because her husband had been dragging his feet for months. I open up the box, pulled it out, and made the easiest $50 of my life because it was pre-assembled. I just took 10 seconds to unfold it and was done. She was furious with her husband, and still paid me to spite him.” — -PM_me_your_recipes-
