9 Strange Jobs You Won’t Believe Exist

From a Professional Prostitute Tester, to Condom and Candy Testers… here you will find 9 strange jobs you won’t believe exist!

Professional Prostitute Tester

It truly exists! The best job in the world! (Or so many men would think so!) Chilean lothario named Jaime Rascone is a former DJ –and an occasional male model- who has the kind of job every man on earth wishes to have: “Quality Control in a brothel”. (Do you agree that this job definitely qualifies as one of the 9 strange jobs?)

While working on a story on Chilean’s sexual revolution, Rascone first stumbled upon “Fiorella Comapions”. Madam Fiorella offered him the job because she needed somebody to help her with the final “interview” of her hiring process. This is how it works: women who want to work as VIP escorts for Fiorella have to go through a photo session, psychological testing, and interviews. The final applicants are chosen and the list narrows down to six; these “lucky girls” then must be fucked by Jaime one after the other all in a single day. His job then consists on taking notes on, for example, the way they moved their hips, the adequateness of their groanings, and he gives recommendations to Madam Fiorella. This job is actually so exhausting, that he can only do it once a month, and tests seventy girls or so a year. After a hard day’s work, poor exhausted Jaime, ends up with big dark bags under his eyes…well, who wouldn’t right? After having an awesome threesome and sleeping with six different women on the same day, it’s understandable. link

 

Train Pushers

Tokyo Subways are famous for being extremely crowded at rush hours, and it becomes quite difficult to shut doors because of it. This is one of the several strange jobs you will find!

An “Oshiya” -or Train Pusher- is in charge of pushing bodies to fit every inch of space during the morning and evening rush hours. Train pushers were called “passenger arrangement staff” when they were first brought in at Shinjuku Station, and they were mostly students working part-time.

When trains are at around 120% capacity, train pushers are usually stationed on platforms. Currently, station staff -or part-time workers- work during morning rush hours and on several lines .link

Luxury Bed Tester

For sleeping in designer’s beds every day for a month, Miss Madigan gets paid £1,000. She helps with the “sleep survey” carried out by luxury bed specialists Simon Horn Ltd. that sells luxury Savoir Beds to the Savoy Hotel. (To get paid for sleeping? This is indeed one of the many strange jobs that exist out there, right?)

Craig Roylance – the General manager-said that 22-year-old student named Roisin will do two things:provide an objective view of the beds on sale, and she will also be part of a look into what brings a good night’s sleep. “We know exactly what we want her to do,” he added. “She will not only be testing the beds, but we’ll be putting her under certain conditions such as giving her alcohol or caffeine, changing the light, and changing the temperature.”  Roylance also said that they wanted to find somebody that could sleep for a month on their beds and somebody who was articulate and interested in writing about them. Miss Madigan will spend 10am to 6pm in beds in the company’s showroom in Edgbaston, and then she has to blog about her experiences.He said they advertised the position and were shocked to have 600 applicants in the first two days.link

Condom Tester

Durex, an Australian Condom manufacturer, called for applications claiming it could be the world’s best job: A condom tester.

Sam White, the marketing manager,said that there are 200 positions as a condom tester, and that any Australian over the age of 18 could apply. He also said that applicants must explain the reasons why they would make an expert condom tester. Successful applicants will receive a free $60 selection of Durex products,and will be required to provide the company with honest feedback about the performance of the product. They will not get paid for the job, but one of the 200 testers will win a bonus of $1000. Well, of course, if the product DOESN’T work, they will win a baby! Wanna try?� link

Marijuana Tester

In Denver, Colorado where the industry of medical marijuana is legally flourishing, they are looking to fill in the following job positions:

Westward, an alternative newspaper in Denver, is looking for –get this!- a “pot reviewer” to write a column on “Marijuana Highs and Lows,” about the medical marijuana scene. They ask applicants to write an essay on “What Marijuana Means to Me”.

Similarly, the biotech company called Full Spectrum Laboratories needs salesmen to market their quality-control tools, as well as scientists in order to test the potency of cannabis samples.

It is not shocking that those who are hiring for these positions are receiving tons and tons of applications! We think this goes into the strange jobs category, don’t you think?link

 

World of Warcraft Tester

Testing the world’s greatest MMORPG for a living, would truly be a dream career for most of us! “The World of Warcraft” actually has manyjobs available that are posted on Blizzard’s “website”, and they are currently hiring for game tester positions under the QA department. The Blizzard employment database has numerous MMORPG jobs available, most of them are WoW employment opportunites. They are now looking for foreign language testers, so if you speak another language besides English, and you have an in-depth knowledge about Blizzard games, try to find a suitable job for you, and start your dream career by applying here. link

Candy Tester

This is, literally, every child’s dream job: a candy taster!

Harry Willsher, aged 12 will be testing top secret recipes for a year after winning a contest at Swizzell’s Matlow. Harry said: “I had a tour after I got the job and it was as if I’d stepped into the book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.”

In addition to sampling the sweets, he will also be monitoring their development at the company’s factory in New Mills, Derbyshire. Not only is this one of many strange jobs, but a great one too!

Flatus Odor Judge

Well… being odor judges to research labs of mouthwash companies to test the product’s efficacy, is one thing! But a whole different thing is to be an odor judge for other people’s farts! This is a strange job–and a disgusting one too! Michael Levitt, a gastroenterologist in Minneapolis wanted to determine the most malodorous component of the human flatus, and with that in mind, sixteen healthy volunteers ate pinto beans and were inserted small plastic collection tubes in their anuses, after each “episode of flatulence”, Levitt would put the gas into a container in order to maintain the integrity of the fart. The odor judges then, had to smell at least 100 samples in order to determine which ones were the most disgusting. Fortunately, Michael Levitt was able to determine –thanks to the courage of these judges- that “hydrogen sulfide” was the most malodorous component of the human flatus. Disgusting experiment by the way! Yet, necessary!

Sell Your Spot in Line

The last of the 9 strange jobs you won’t believe exist: “The seller of your spot in a line.” A merchant service that allows people to sell their spot in line is being built by SuperOyster.com. This sounds kinda crazy, until you hear him rattle off the markets where this is applicable: For condos, fashion accessories, pro football tickets, high-end automobiles, and exclusive memberships as well. It also applies nicely to scarce and high-demand products such as the “Xbox 360″ or concert tickets.

They are also planning to offer management services to those merchants who will be able to do 2 things: provide basic waiting list, and also create a market on-line where these same list positions can be bought and sold.� link
