It's a recognised job, but is it justified?

The person in the toy shop who sticks one piece of the jigsaw puzzle onto the polythene bag holding the pieces so that you spend hours looking everywhere for it, under the table, inside the vacuum cleaner, under the sofa etc, only to find it when you break up the puzzle to put it back in the box.

Aircraft stewards who tell passengers how operate a seatbelt buckle. And then ask us to pay attention while they show us how to do it.

The most boring job must be those poor buggers who sit in those little kiosks in malls and airports and train stations, trying to sell things that virtually nobody wants... obscure charity lottery tickets, watch straps, dog photo calendars...

I think I'd end up setting fire to the kiosk just for something to do.
