What's the easiest job you have ever had?

As per thread title.

Back in 1973 I started a job as a young van driver in Stockport delivering electrical goods to small family run shops around the Manchester area, In those days there were no large Currys, Comet, AO.com etc.

Anyway, on the first day, eager to impress, I set off about 10.30 am, and did around 20 drops, Reddish, Ashton, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Leigh, Wigan and back to Stockport.

I arrived back at base feeling very smug around 2.00pm, and my immediate boss the warehouse manager, came out and said "What the fucking hell are you doing back so early you dozy ****?"

I was stunned and said "What do you mean, I've done all my drops, I thought you would be pleased"

He fumed, "If the boss sees you back, I'll get it in the neck for not being busy enough and giving you enough work to do, so piss off and come back at 5.00, time it just as we are locking up"

So I spent all the wonderful summer of 1973 either sunbathing in parks en route for four hours, or even going home for a kip.

Sometimes, I even took the van back at 6.30 when everyone had gone home and claimed overtime...lol!

Happy Days.

These days, with technology bosses know where the drivers are exactly at any minute because their vans are tracked.



The best job is a lolipop man........You don't start till you're 65 :)

I once worked in an off licence where there may have been some dodgy dealings behind the scenes lol so they weren't that arsed. I was fine with it as I was instructed to pay myself out of the til for what I saw fit for each day. I could put the shutters down whenever I wanted for a spliff break and help myself to a few cans if my mates popped in. Was a great job to have in town as an 18 year old!

Finished a warehouse contract early by 6 months. The contract demanded that at least one senior manager came in at least once a week to a progress meeting. Full pay. 2 hours a week. For 6 months. I volunteered as it was a 10 minute drive.

I spent my 20's working in a small furniture shop as a salesman for a pothead.
9.30 start, first job of the day was to make him a coffee and a tea for myself and roll us a joint each.
The roll him a few spliffs and he'd fuck off for most of the day leaving me to help myself to his stash and play football manager all day.
He used to buy it buy the ounce, I used to help myself with his blessing.
I'd still be there now if the **** didn't go bankrupt because he was rarely sober.

one of my first jobs was in a shop in a hospital. I’d serve maybe 3 people in a 6 hour shift, and just did school work or read the magazines.

many moons back I, along with 23 others, had a contract with AMEC who were to design and build a new choccy factory in Wales for cadburys. They rented 2 floors of Alexander House in Stretford and shoved us in there. 2 weeks in and the job was put on hold, spent the next 3 weeks on £19/hour (by far my best rate at that stage) playing Doom on the office network with 5 or 6 others who were so inclined.

Job was canned and on our merry way we went

Switchboard where the phone rarely rang or nightclub cloakroom in the summer when nobody wore coats.

It sounds great but I need to be kept busy.
