The guy who has to change the gas price signs.
I've seen a few digital signs, but they are still mostly just plastic numbers around here.
Never actually seen anyone changing the signs though, which is surprising because the gas price changed about 3 times this week alone. They have to go out in whatever weather there is and replace numbers. People who do this job must understand the saying, "Don't shoot the messenger." :P
I'm pretty sure they don't hire a guy that only changes the signs. I would think that it would be a sort of side-job for an employee or two that works at the station.

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to be the one to change the sign.
They have a long pole with a suction at the end and pull the numbers off and on. I have seen it done.

even easier then. I don't think it's that big of a deal around here...I mean, gas prices are high, but they're not rising at such a rate that would justify rebellion.

Someone around here was tackled to the ground while changing the sign >_>
You know what would be even worse jobs. Insurance salesman, bill collector, or telemarketer.

Recordings are worse.
That wouldn't seem too bad to me.

I hate it when I have to lessen to a machine on the other end of the phone.
actually, being a telemarketer might be fun. As long as you do what you're supposed to (which is to pitch a product or service), you can get pretty creative to try to get the people to stay on the phone :)

Well, anything can be sued over, yes, even breathing. However, if the case is deemed "frivolous", whoever the suer is must pay ALL fees for the one being sued.

You'd hate to be a telemarketer once you call my house. We annoy the heck outta them. Maybe that's part of the reason why we almost never get telemarketers anymore...
Watch Dirty Jobs. I woudn't want to do many of those jobs... although my favorite one on that show is demolition engineer. Sledge Hammers FTW!
