This was an extremely small part of the job, but bubble wrap sorter.

It sounds fun, but it's not... you take all the bubble wrap off the truck that's filled with bubble wrap...

Sorting them, all the ones marked with an "H" stayed and all the marked with a "P" had to go back on the truck to go to their next stop.

Extremely dumb and it took a lot longer and went a lot slower than you would expect as there was simply so much bubble wrap.

@Viper This reminds me of when I worked in a warehouse several years ago. There was a guy whose job title was "Box Maker". All he did was fold cardboard boxes 🥴 📦

@iamnikki yep, and some of those guys can do it shockingly fast too

Practice makes perfect. 😁

And maybe the fast guys are paid by the number of boxes they make, rather than by the hour.
