Apparently I'm a sex offenderI was once paid £15 to count the amount of people visiting a hairdresser. I stood outside for 3 hours with a clicky counter in my pocket, pressing it every time a person entered. Suddenly there's a copper in front of me, I turn and there's another behind. "What are you up to sunshine?" "A rival hairdresser wants to count the competition" "Well, there's been a call from the shop owner that there's a ginger bloke standing outside fiddling with his cock." Have you ever done anything that made strangers think you were a pervert?

detached youth workI once took a job as a "detached youth worker" for the council.
The job basically entailed myself and a co-worker ( female, thankfully) wandering around a prescribed area trying to talk to young people. Funnily enough, quite a few people thought we were wierdos (the rest thought we were undercover police). They were rather slack in providing us with ID, which really didn't help matters.
The worst bit was when one of the girls we were working with developed a bit of a crush on me. She was about 11. One time without any warning she jumped on my back and declared to the world that "he's my boyfriend". I fled. thankfully, as it was I'd just given my notice anyway, as I'd got a nice safe job playing with photoshop.
At the same time I also worked as a special needs classroom assistant. Just because I noticed the little girl in the playground had no knickers on didn't mean I was looking. It was just hard not to notice when she was doing cartwheels in a skirt. Thankfully everyone else had noticed too, so I could just look the other way and let someone else sort it out.
