I have had some pretty crazy jobs in my life, but the craziest of all, well was pretty crazy. You see, I was desperate for money. I wanted to get my mom new Airpods for Christmas because her other ones had stopped working.
I decided to ask family-friends if they wanted me to do anything for them, from getting groceries, to something silly like the ice bucket challenge. Most of them were simple like clean my house for twenty bucks or sweep the driveway, but there was one job that I think was its goal to make me make a fool out of myself. It was from a close friend, which we always challenged each other to do really stupid stuff.
The task I was supposed to do, was so utterly stupid, I almost just skipped it, but my friend told me she would buy my mom AND ME Airpods if I did it. The task? I had to cover myself in Elmer's Glue, douce myself with feathers, wear a very scandalous rat costume, walk around town, and run around scaring people. There was also a catch, my friend got to control everything I did while we were walking around, so this got interesting.
I ended up accepting the challenge, so I got into costume. The glue was so cold! You wouldn't think it would be, but it was. The feathers warmed me up, however. The rat costume was a hot pink bikini and a really ugly rat head. Mind you, it was only about twenty degrees Fahrenheit outside at the time.
My friend's mom drove us out to the local mall. Even just stepping out of the car made me feel insecure. Some of the feathers flew off of me in the wind, but almost all of them stayed on. My friend's mom left us to humiliate ourselves, and go run some errands instead. My friend and I started off by just walking around the mall, occasionally buying something stupid. I got some really awkward stares as I walked around, and since we lived in a small city, I saw people I knew as well.
This is where the real challenge starts, my friend told me to hide behind this huge plant and wait for some innocent pedestrian to come along, so I could scare them. Now, sure this was kind of fun, but I was still cold. Some of the pedestrians gave off some pretty frightening yelps, but they were all friendly.
I remember at one point in this challenge my friend bought me a foam sword and told me to challenge someone to a sword fight. I ended up sparring with a little kid who thought I represented Chick-Fil-A. She beat me because my armpits for glued to my torso.
This was probably one of my favorite experiences, and I will never forget it. I was so humiliated, and we were eventually escorted out of the mall by security, but this was VERY fun!
