The Most Useless / Unpopular Professions

If you've noticed them, they've fulfilled their purpose.

surely the conversion point is making a sale, I have never followed the link given by one of them

[swissmike]

fek me I have never seen this, not been to a club for ages but is this for real?

Anyway.........my choice is for human billboards....what is the point

They try and engage you in light banter, turn the tap on, put soap on your hands, give you a paper towel to dry, offer you aftershave or a lollipop and then expect a pound coin in their tray

Also shout out 'freshen up for de punani' or other witty phrases

Human billboards strange too - can see their purpose but who would do it

Advertising isn't necessarily about making an immediate sale, it's equally about brand awareness. Although I take your point in the context of, for example, "Bazza's Pawnbrokers, Make ££££'s from your Jewellery And Watches, Turn Left down the Alley".

thats partly my point, why would you want your brand associated with using human billboards unless you want a sh1te reputation and a downmarket image.......porn shops exempt I guess

People who stand around with a huge "Golf Sale" sign on a long pole

the 8 out of 10 "road engineers" who stand around watching the other 2 doing all the work

[Old Greg]

Chuggers

[DimPrawn]

Fluffers.

[Rantor]

Fluffers.

... all now redundant since the advent of the wee blue pill

[thunderlizard]

People in club toilets

It's true, but I must say swissmike has come across more value-adding ones than me. Banter and aftershave? luxury.

I also believe they have to pay the club for the pitch. So do spare them a thought next time you think your contract is rubbish!
