If I could get paid like I do now, I would have stayed there my whole life.

Movie theatre.  Sounds dorky but it wasn't.  Boss hired all hot chicks on our recommendations.  I mostly did box office but sometimes would run the projectors (they were the old fashioned kind).  Hooked up with a lot of babes on the roof, too.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Basically, I got to do awesome stuff every day that you puds could only dream about, unless you grew up on a dairy farm.

Doorknob factory. 

About once a month, they had a factory wide meeting where all the people on the floor would go into the cafeteria and be briefed about whatever it was that "corporate" wanted to be done better (usually safety bs) and answer trivia questions about safety or the history of the company.  The prizes were these giant, industrial chain locks.  I just always though that was really funny. 

Yes you got the answer right, now here's your prize!  A giant chain lock!  Now you can go home and lock whatever it is that you need locked with this huge lock!

Worked at a movie theatre. Free movies and all the nachos you could devour. Also, found a way to scheme the place out of a lot of money. Those were some of the best years of fanning's youth.

Sonic carhop. We could turn the speakers on and listen to what people were saying in their cars. I had all the goods on everyone. Plus, I had no responsibilities so I blew every dime I earned there on stuff I wanted -- sunglasses, clothes, etc. Also, told my manager when I wanted to work and refused to work any other times. Wish I could get away with that now.

I had a job that was so pud but I don't know if it was my best job because it didn't pay much.

My current job pays well but can be stressful.

Nope. I loved that job. No responsibilities. All of my friends worked there and all I did all day was take soft drinks to people's cars and stand around in the parking lot hanging out with my friends. What's not to like? (Also, only worked there during the summer. Would probably hate in winter.)

did greens work for a summer, it was dandy.  Boss was a pushover, could go into the clubhouse and eat and drink anything, anytime.  Almost made mowing enjoyable when you could go "refresh" your drink behind the bar every couple of holes.  I don't think I have ever done so little and gotten paid for it.

Oh. Well. I had this thing called a shower, and I used it. Also, every day? Please. I worked there on Wednesday nights and Saturdays. Another great part of that gig -- rarely working.

I cooked your food while you guys banked it as car hops. You were the enemy! I did eat a lot of cheddar bites though.
