Weirdest Things People Did For Money


Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the strangest stuff people ever did for money. Money drives people to do some truly bizarre stuff.

Text - Text - lineageofhobbis • 2d Italian man came up to me on holiday in a town near Naples, he asked me to go talk to these 2 Americans he gave me 10 euros to buys them a couple o beers and talk about whatever. No idea why.

Text - shaodyn • 2d Not me personally, but a guy I went to high school with got offered $45 to fall down the stairs at the performing arts center on campus and yell "fuck" really loud while they were recording a performance.

Text - mosyicatto • 2d Not like that weird but when I was 6 or 7I used to pluck my parent's grey hairs for 10 cents per strand.

Text - Text - LIXD5203 • 2d Not me but my friend threw his $300 phone into a river for $25. It was deep so he didn't get it back.

Text - Text - Back2Bach • 2d When I was a kid, a neighbor paid me to be "a live scarecrow" in his garden. My job was to chase the birds and other animals away that might otherwise destroy his garden when he wasn't home to guard it. note: Netting helps keep birds away, but it doesn't keep animals like deer, rabbits, woodchucks, etc. from invading the garden.

Text - Text - bopeepsheep • 2d 'Babysat' a rock star before a gig so that he would stay put and not go off into the local area (which he didn't know) looking for drugs. We talked about TV and films. edit: I think I've told this story before and said who it was but I won't say again; it was more than 20 years ago and everyone involved is British. The need to do this kind of thing is exactly why Get Him To The Greek was made, but that was 10+ years later. I wouldn't be surprised if stories Russell

Text - Text - vicrally • 2d 1 Award I read the book "every thug needs a lady" by Wahida Clark. Saw it in Barnes and nobles and jokingly said to my brother that I would read it for $100 and give him a book report. Son of a bitch it is the worst book ever written.

Text - Text - Raynedere • 2d I listened to hours upon hours of people telling me that they were smarter than me, yelling at me, and threatening to kill me. Totally worth it for that $7.25 an hour.

Text - Text - Spiralslnside • 2d I almost traded farts for rent once

Text - Text - MyAdvicelsBatumi • 2d Asked my biology teacher if she was pregnant, was in 2nd grade and luckily she laughed it off (but hey my friend gave me 1.50$)

Text - Text - suicidalgrunty • 2d In 7th grade a kid told me that if I could learn to move my fingers in a certain way he would pay me $20. Took me 2 days of practicing in my closet and I did it but never got the money. Now I show people this weird thing I can do. Basically you move your pointer fingers, pointing at each other, around each other in a circle. But instead of both moving forward, one moves towards you and the other moves away from you. 95% of people l've shown this to can't do it.

Text - james-betprotocol • 2d I used to clone rare Pokemon like Mew on the GameBoy game and sell them to other people. l'd just rip the transfer cable out while transferring the Pokemon at the right time and we both could keep it.
