The 7 Types of People with Obscure Job Descriptions (Careers you didn't even know existed)

1. Dog Food Tasters/Testers

People who work in this field need to ensure that the dog food they’re consuming (which only dogs will hopefully be consuming from then on) ticks all the boxes it claims to ticks. Questions these industry professionals may ponder include: Is the dog food beefy enough? Is it chewy but not way too chewy? Is it at all crumby? (If so, this is not good! Crumby dog food is the last thing dog owners want) As you can see from the given questions, this job is crucial in ensuring the perfect dog food, for dogs and owners.

2. Professional Pushers (Oshiya)

This job only exists in Japan, mind you, by only, I mean that the job is catering for roughly 120 million people. Shinjuku, the business hub in Japan’s capital city of Tokyo has a train station where approximately 1.26 million people pass through every day. Japan Railways (JR) hires Professional pushers, whose job is to make sure that everybody is pushed to the limits (literally) ensuring that they’re all squished into the trains, with no one’s limbs poking out and therefore being snapped off by the closing of the train doors. Note to future tourists of Japan: Don’t travel during peak hours. Or do, nothing quite screams culture shock than someone ‘professionally’ pushing you into a train. Knowing Japan and its citizens incredible work ethics/standards, these professionals have undoubtedly endured years of tertiary education to earn their titles as a 'pusher'. 



3. Bad Smell Specialists
Another job description unique to Japan, in all seriousness, this one requires national certification.  Japan is one of few countries which has laws applied to odours in the environment. The job of a bad smell specialist it to find the source of bad smells, and to ensure that bad odour is limited and maintained to safeguard residents. Currently, there are over 2000 Bad Smell Specialists working in Japan. Note to self: Do not pass gas in the streets of Japan… No one wants their farts traced back to themselves, am I right?






4. Paid Internet Trolls

These people are literally paid to be trolls on the Internet. This job is prevalent in China, and employees in this field work under the Chinese government. China is well known for its heavy Internet censorship (The Great (Fire)Wall of China), denying its citizens access to sites such as Google, Facebook and Twitter. However, little is known about the fact that the government hires people to essentially deliver communist party lines through comments on forums and posts, in a clever and believe it-or-not, subtle way. 

Welcome to 21^st century style propaganda folks.

5. Bicycle Fishers

While Paris may be the city of lights, Amsterdam is the city of bikes. With an abundance of bikes, comes an abundance of improper disposal of unwanted bikes. In other words, bicycles often end up in the depths of the city’s famous canals. Bicycle Fishers are hired professionals whose job is to fish the thousands of bikes which are forcibly drowned each year.  How gloomy!

6. Professional Ear Cleaners

These people practice a trade considered to a degree, an art form, and one that has been passed down for generations. People with this job description work the streets of India, ridding people’s ears of any foreign body, wax and dust, using just a cotton covered needle and a pair of pincers. (I am typing this while wincing my eyes and clenching my teeth a little)

7. Elephant Stylists

Elephant stylists are talented professionals who work in countries where elephants find more work than just in circuses or zoos. These stylists use their skills and knowledge to fashion beautiful, intricate and colourful costumes for elephants participating in religious festivals.( I think I have a new career goal… I’ve found my calling!)

The 7 Types of People You Will Meet in High School

1. The Social Butterfly

It's hard to get along with everyone you meet but the social butterfly manages it with ease. They will be one of the first people you’ll meet in high school. They're the ones who have good relationships with everyone at school, always eager to meet new people and never seem to lack in energy when it comes to socialising. They get along with everyone and others only ever have good things to say about them.

2. The Overachiever

If you see a clean organised desk with organising bins and boxes from Officeworks, this is most likely the desk of an overachiever. They are notorious list makers placing sticky notes on everything and making sure assignments are done well before the due date. They strive to be at the top always, locking themselves at home to study without much time left for any kind of social life. 

3. The Quiet One

You will rarely hear a peep from this high school student and may start to wonder if they even have a voice. They enjoy their own company and personal space and don’t depend on a group of people to get them through the day. Instead, they exercise independence and get their work done without a fuss, sitting in the classroom and playground minding their own business.

4. The Athlete

You will always find these people in their sports teams roaming around in their sweaty jerseys or practicing sport in the gym area of playground. These students are rarely to be seen excelling in a classroom and often maintain a consistently low academic record. They love the active lifestyle and it's difficult for anything to get in between them and their sport.

5. The Class Clown

These people who choose not to care about what's going on in class and enjoy bothering their teachers and other students. They find great satisfaction in making the class laugh and the teachers want to rip their hair out. They are more concerned about having a good time rather than learning anything and you can always count of them to crack a joke at the most inappropriate of times.

6. The Popular Girl

See those students drooling over and surrounding that girl? Yeah,  for some reason she is mysteriously known as the most important kid in the school, without the rest of the student body knowing how, when and why this even happened. The only thing anyone does know is that somehow this girl is the chosen one and everyone must go along with it

7. The Teacher's Pet

On the day you're feeling dumb or just annoyed at the whole world, this student will drive you up the wall. This over competitive classmate has got all the answers to every question and is not afraid to scream them out every time the teacher asks. They will do over and above what the teacher asks just to get in the good books. They will never do anything wrong in the teachers eyes and will annoy most of the class to death.

The 7 Types of People You See at a House Party

1.       The Photographer

 Don’t worry if you go a bit overboard on the bourbon and cokes and can’t remember most of the night, this person’s 300 second snapchat story or 14 Instagram posts will remind you (whether you want it to or not). This person spends half the night with their eye on their phone and gathering people together for group photos to prove to everyone that their night has been better than yours.

2.       The Gamer

Before the party has even started, this person has set up beer pong and king’s cup before the party has even started. They can’t relax and have a drink without making a competition out of it. They spend half the night rallying teammates and explaining all the rules that they play by, because if you aren’t playing their way, are you even playing at all?

3.       The Dancer

Good luck having a conversation with this person at any point in the night. This person must have Red Bull flowing through their veins because from the moment the music starts until that last bass drop they are dancing, and dancing hard.

4.     The Emotional Rollercoaster

Think of all of the Emoji’s, now slap each of these on someone’s face within the space of 4 hours. Highs and lows, laughs and cries, this person will show it all. One drink can be the difference between dancing the night away, and crying about dropping a sausage roll on the floor because ‘it deserved so much better’.

5.       The Flirt

What are these standards you speak of? This person will hit on anything and everything at the party, whether it is well received or not. Every glance across the party is a search for the latest target (or maybe victim is the most appropriate term).

6.       The Smoker

These types of people often congregate in groups a couple meters away from the meat of the party, mostly because they respect the other party goers’ wishes to not inhale all the second hand smoke they puff out of their bodies.

7.       The Deso

The designated driver is taking one for the team, saving a few lives and a few long, drunk walks back home. This person is the hero of the night. 

The 7 Types of People You Will Sit Next to on a Flight

1.       The Businessperson

You could admire anyone who is dressed to the nines on any flight, let alone a 12 hour one. All you have to do is hear the click of high heels or get a whiff of leather and you know this suited up professional is sitting near the front of the plane.

2.       The Crying Baby

Whaling and flailing through the duration of the flight, this baby is having a horrible time and is going to make sure you know it. How can you get mad at someone who doesn’t even understand what they are doing wrong, you say? Very easily is the answer.

3.       The Resenting Parents 

All they wanted to do was go on their very first family holiday, but they are copping all the backlash their bundle of joy is creating with every scream and cry.

4.       The Boys/Girls Trip

They are drunk before they even get on the plane. This group of 8 or so guys or girls are off to Thailand, Bali, Cancun or some other tropical destination famous for beach side cocktails and big time partying. Warning, they are obnoxiously loud and do not care if you don’t like it because they are just ready to have THE BEST WEEK OF THEIR LIVES WOOOOOOOOO

5.       The Chatterbox

You’re one word responses and straight ahead looking are no match for the powers of conversation this person thrusts upon you. You can learn a lot about a person when they spend a 5 hour flight recounting their life story and their future aspirations. Earphones and pretend sleeping is your only defense against this relentless ear invader.

6.       The Coma Patient

 From the time you lift off to the time you touch down, is asleep. And we’re not talking your average sleep, this person is knocked out and dead to the world around them, and it is something to be most grateful for if you are seated next to them. Unfortunately, this person is somehow most commonly found in the seat between you, the aisle, and the sweet road to the relief room (technical term for toilet). They are a blessing and a curse.

7.       The Personal Space Invader

Most people understand the concept of personal space; the idea that we all have a radius around us in which no one should enter unless permitted. On a flight, the space that we are assigned is already limited, but that does not stop a substantial amount of people invading upon your personal bubble with their belongings or limbs or drooping sleep head.  

The 7 Types of People You Will Have As Neighbours

1. The Over-friendly Neighbour

These are the neighbours who will literally stay in your house and wouldn't mind helping you out with your daily chores. They don’t know where to draw the line and more often than not cross it. These neighbours want to know everything about you, your family, how much money you earn and your spending patterns. They want to know it all without even once thinking that these are personal and you are not comfortable sharing them.

2. The Mysterious Neighbour

There is never any noise coming from this neighbour's house. The only dialogue you ever had with them probably consists of “Hello!”. You’ll notice the they come back home either late at night or early in the morning. They appear in their right mind which makes things even weirder. You have no idea where they go, what they do and whether you should be worried they might be a crook or not. 

3. The Fighting Couple 

These neighbours fight with their spouse in the open and keep throwing offensive words at each other. They just disturb the peace of the neighbourhood.

4. The Constant Borrower

This neighbour keeps asking you for something. They're at your door again asking you for a cup of sugar or a wooden spoon. These are the neighbours who make complete utilisation of the word “HELP” and will constantly keep borrowing things from you. 

5. The Copycat Neighbour 

This neighbour has no clue about what they want to buy and will end up buying/doing the same set of things that you do. They will scan everything in your home. Beware if you invite them in for a chat, when you go to their house, it will be a replica of yours.

6. The Party Freak

This neighbour is most likely young, will love to go out for parties and always invite their friends over for a party in their house. The sound of loud music and loud voices is the proof that they are at it again.

7. The Problem Creator

 

These neighbours are too fussy about everything you do from moving a chair at your home to having a social event at your home. Every single thing of your action bothers them and they are just waiting to gun you down! They are the ones who are unhappy about everything that goes on in the street and will constantly cause trouble every chance they get.

The 7 Types of People You Can Find at the Gym

1.       The Veteran

 His age is a mystery but that doesn’t stop him from being absolutely ripped to the nines. He breezes through his workouts, using his 50 plus odd years of experiences to show up all the young guns.

2.       The Newbie

Is it innovation or is it just plain stupidity? This person manages to find a brand new way to use equipment that has not been thought of before (with good reason). The conventional route is not a familiar concept and workout form is not a prime concern. This person will use the equipment their own way (i.e. the wrong way), no matter what anyone tells them or what the diagram on the machine says.

3.       The Flirt

Is a gym for working out or meeting potential dates? Please remind this person because there’s only so much staring, winking, smiling and chatting up that one person can get away with in this establishment.

4.       The Muscle Head

Behind all the loud grunting and dumbbell tossing is a person. A person with a disappearing neck and veins that pop out so far that they almost smack you in the face. This walking mountain of muscles cannot be missed.

5.       The Doll

While you’re sweating up a storm and making weird faces as you struggle through your set, this little lady is walking around in tight, florescent  workout gear, not a hair out of place and a face full of makeup. I call this look ‘ready for 20 minutes on the elliptical, prepared for a red carpet event’.

6.       The Cardio Cruiser

They walk in the gym, and run on the treadmill (maybe 10 minutes on the bike here and there). If you ask me, paying $50 a fortnight to run on the spot seems like great value-for-money to me (yes, I am being wholeheartedly sarcastic)

7. The Unwanted Helper

You can try avoiding all eye contact and blasting your music through the biggest headphones known to man, it won't help this relentless 'good' doer. They are all to ready to comment on your form, rag on your exercise choices, suggest a some addition to your workout routine, or just give you a 'handy tip'.

The 7 Types of People You Will Have as Teachers

1.       The Strict Teacher

Forget knowledge and good grades, fear is the ultimate motivator when your class is run by this bully. What they say, goes, and whoever dares to question them will reap the consequences. Forgetting your work, talking in class, running late, wanting to go to the bathroom, asking a question, living, breathing. Under this teachers ruling, one could consider these actions crimes against humanity.

2.       The Lazy Teacher

Silent reading and textbook questions are this teacher’s forte. Forget teaching, this one here is a babysitter. Confusing teaching with being borderline present in the classroom, this teacher passes time by writing a list of work you need to do, chucking you a textbook, and then sitting on their phone as the time ticks by.

3.       The Talkative Teacher

Staying on topic is a thing of the past with one of these teachers. They wonder why it has taken 3 weeks to get through what should have taken one, when they turn every sentence into a tangent about their kids or their spouses or their trip to Mexico or the conversation they had with another student/teacher.

4.       The Trendy Teacher

If this teacher has discovered a new website or a new app for their snazzy iPad, you can bet that you are going to use it. Sometimes, you will find that this new discovery they have thrusted upon your school life is a godsend. It often, however, takes a lot more effort, convincing and explaining then it is worth. Sometimes a pen and paper is the way to go, but if this teacher had their way, you wouldn’t see those peasant tools in sight.

5.       The Chill Teacher

They come to class late and leave early, and let you do the same. Do your work or don’t, it’s up to you and your own fault if you don’t learn the material they give you. They crack jokes, often at the expense of themselves, their students or other teachers, but always in jest. They are always up for a conversation and know what is the coolest and latest, and are not afraid of using colourful language amongst students.

6.       The Sub Teacher

As soon as students hear the word “substitute”, all respect and work ethic goes out the window. No matter how many times the substitute pleads and threatens, there is no hope of getting a hold of the classes attention. Poor sub!

7.       The Best Teacher

They just seem to get it right. They are fun when they need to be, they are firm when they need to be. They manage to keep everyone entertained and intrigued while still hitting all the points and teaching all they need to. They make class feel like it is worth going to, and that is a feat in its own
