This is a nice and mindless way to make a few bucks in your spare time. My favorite jobs are the “retail data” sorting hits. All I had to do was look at an item and select which category it went into. It was very quick and didn’t take a lot of thought. I could do it while I was on the phone or watching television. I only earned a dollar or so an hour, but it was about as entertaining as Bejeweled so it felt like I was getting paid to play video games.

At times it was funny and I laughed out loud. Other times, I noticed that they used urband legends or stuff out of books. I wonder if the staff concocted these “true” stories or if people actually submitted the fakes and the staff had no clue.
I know some of the book ones may be obscure, like there is one about farting in yoga class – which was 98% taken verbatim from a book – but perhaps because it was a lesser known Australian author might have thrown them off. But the one about the dog digging up someone’s pet rabbit is a very well known old urban legend AND it was in a movie.
Still it was worth a chuckle.
Dropped 2 in the city county building waiting to get tasered (pfft hate going through security and the wands – not really tasered but pffffft!)
Some homeless guy picked them up as soon as they hit the ground. He almost appeared out of nowhere, scooped up the change and vanished.
