This is a question Strange things you've been paid to do

I once spent two years being paid by the UK government to play Quake.

What's the strangest thing you've been paid to do?

Ok well, I've done market research before
and its normally something like £20 for two hours at some random place with about 5 to 10 other guys my age.

So when a friend of a friend's parent rang me up, and asked me if I'd be interested in doing some market research, I thought, why not? £20 isnt bad for a quick 2 hours inc travelling normally.

Except when they sent me the details, it was slightly easier than I expected. I got paid £50 to sit in my own house for an hour, talking to random strangers. All I had to do was tell them what sort of technology products (PCs, mp3 players, that sorta thing) I owned, then tell them why their satellite portable tv sucked. I like market research really :P
