» Strange things you've been paid to do
Car counting...
I spent all of November last year counting cars. You simply stood by the side of the road with a mechanical counter in each hand, trying not to freeze to death.
We worked in groups of three - One would handle cars and small lorries, the second would handle buses and large lorries, and the third person would be on a break. We switched once per hour or so, which was the one upside to the job - a third of the time you were on paid breaks.
The downside was that November in Sweden is hardly a good time to be standing by the side of the highway from 6 am to 1 pm.
It paid remarkably well though.
