What's the most boring job?

Have you imagine what it's like to work in a toy shop? You may not fancy a kid throwing a tantrum during the weekend, but the children are at school during weekdays. Not that you don't mind uneventful moments, but too often might make you wish the parents won't go to work. It prompts you to wonder what is the world's most boring job.

The Walnut Whip would come to mind. Putting walnuts on Walnut Whips may make you restless after six months (of doing it), but imagine the proximity to chocolate. And you happen to have sweet tooth. Diabetes can be a major health issue. Box packing could be next. If you need money badly, then you don't mind doing it for a few months. Think about the items you put into boxes, though. If it's a disk marked with three colors, then you may end up hooked on those hues. (If it's red, blue, and white, then keep your fingers crossed that you won't always associate it with America.) How about rating roads? You may end up not distinguishing one from the other, such that you need caffeine. Too much coffee can't be good.

Some will not like this post, as an occupation is about getting the work done. It shouldn't be enjoying what you do, they added. A little humor won't hurt, though. Furthermore, this article will make you appreciate your current job. (If it's smelling armpits for a deodorant, then you may get amused looks. Don't be offended.) Let's take a look at these jobs. In no particular order:

Security guard. Imagine guarding a Christmas cracker factory. It seems exciting at first, but the novelty will wear off sooner than you expect. How about a post where you find yourself in a middle of a street? A humid morning (or a rainy afternoon) may not be a pleasant sight. As for guarding a bakery, helping yourself with a pile of rejected products isn't bad at all. But keep an eye on your love handle.

Delivery guy. What happens when there is no delivery schedule on a particular day? You might end up reading a Jules Verne novel, but make sure that your boss won't catch you (reading a book). You can plan your next holiday, which will happen in a year or two. Falling asleep is not an option, so make sure you have enough caffeine.

Cashier. There will be days when you wish for a familiar face or two.

Any job that involves counting. It won't be right to label it as a science job, but there's no such thing as counting the pages of a book you're about to publish. It may be peas. (You're instructed to look for impurities. Make sure you're not staring into it for too long.) It can be rice. (Not a pleasant sight.) It's something else. (And it's not worth telling it here.) If you're getting bored, then imagine reciting a poem.

A job that requires opening and closing a particular item. If it's an envelope containing a check where you must stamp it, then you might wish it's yours.

It's your turn to add something to the list.
