Weird jobs

Golf Ball Diver

When a golf ball falls into the water, the task of a golf ball diver is to pick it up. In
modern golf courts, professional golf ball divers can become very rich picking up 3000
balls a day. The most dangerous thing is that the lake is full of glass, iron pieces and
even crocodiles.

Smell Tester

companies still need professional staff to smell their products. A smell tester has
to smell 60 different odors three times per an hour.

Hair Boiler

Hair boiler is considered to be the worst job. You must stand beside a big pan which is used to
boil different kinds of animal hair until it becomes soft enough to make false hair.

Professional Pusher

Japan is indeed a hardworking nation. It makes sure that all its people reach
work on time and that's why Japan has employed people to push others
onto trains so that nobody's late for work.

Car Plate Blocker

In a bid to reduce congestion on the roads, Iran has employed a strange policy
where cars with number plates ending in odd and even numbers are allowed
on roads on alternate days only. Iranians hire men to walk behind their cars so
that the cameras don't capture their number plates.

alive. It's sad that you won't be able to see them mourn for you because
you'd be in the coffin.
