Hugs
American Samantha Hess makes a good living doing what everyone else usually does for free: she hugs people. You know, sometimes you want to snuggle up to someone, but there’s no one at hand – in that case Samantha is at your service for a modest $60 an hour.
Hess usually hugs five clients a day. She also leads 40-hour courses on how to do it properly. At the end, real huggers are given certificates. Hess receives thousands of emails a month with orders that she and her assistants fulfil.
Her team has served more than 17 million huggers – not only in the US, but also in Europe, China, Brazil and Australia.
And Samantha and her staff don’t let customers do too much. A hug is enough.
Video game tutoring
Many people know this annoying situation: you decided to relax after work and play some popular shooter or MOBA. But your opponents, who have more experience, easily defeat you. And even accompany it with offensive comments in the chat. Especially unpleasant when the local witty dominators are minors.
But in cybersport there are professional coaches who will come to your aid in such a situation. There are services where you can find a tutor for any game – Legaue of Legends, DOTA 2, Starcraft II, Counter-Strike, Overwatch….
Or even Guitar Hero, if you think that playing on a guitar controller is more entertaining than on a wooden instrument that you’ve long been bored with.
Classes with a video game coach take place both in teams and one-on-one. And they sometimes cost a lot of money, because the tutors are former and current champions of cyber sports disciplines.
You pay these guys who have eaten up records and speedruns, and they teach you how to win. And you don’t need to spend 24 hours a day in the game to gain skills on your own.
Moreover, for a fee, such experts can, for example, pump up your character in the game or pass a level that you can’t handle.
