7. Let these rich assholes hunt me in a forest with paintball guns and I had to be in just my underwear. I learned quick that it wasn’t so much about the hunt they just wanted to humiliate me. Completely regret it but I was a few hundred short on rent. -Xionus

10. Selling condoms in a male restroom at a bar. Needed cash for a train ticket back home to the neighboring town. Was just standing in a corner offering rubber for some coins. -danishremoulade
-
11. I was expecting much juicier answers here. I made porn with my first husband and he sold the photos and videos. They are somewhere in the bowels of the internet, but I have no idea where. No face though. -Athompson9866

12. White beard. Red suit. Kids on my knee. Ho, ho, ho. -picksandchooses

13. Drove around in the middle of the night in my small town with bolt cutters. I opened up every single newspaper stand I could find and probably made a good $300 that night in quarters. -Land_As_Exile

14. Sang in the NYC subway while panhandling anyone that made eye contact.
Got the $50 I needed to take a bus south out of the city. -geekitude

15. Participated in a sleep study where they had us wired up to electrodes to monitor our responses at periodic intervals across 3 days without sleep. It was brutal. I learned I cannot go without sleep for 2 days in a row. -Barbarella_ella

16. Consumed a full bottle of Tabasco sauce for $300. -didyouwashyoass2day

17. I slept with my 64 year old landlady. In my defense, it was either that or sleep on the streets. -Jack_In_Black89
-
18. In 7th grade I did a horrible attempt at the worm at a school dance for $1. -outofdate70shouse

19. I met a complete stranger from the internet to sell him some used underwear. If it were a send it in the mail thing, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But part of it was that he wanted me to meet him to give them to him. And then he would pay me in cash.
It was a pretty good amount so, I went for it. We talked for a while beforehand and he was really nice. I didn't get the vibe that I was gonna get killed, and I needed the money. It was a quick meet in a Walmart parking lot. Nothing really bad happened. -deletedgirlfriend -
20. Chugged a red solo cup filled with months old bong water for $500. -Punkrockid19
