Retail worker quits job, keeps getting paid for months: 'I never said a word'

I hope someday you get to be paid for doing absolutely nothing. Some of us dream of being a trophy husband or wife, letting our spouse take care of our every desire while we gracefully lay upon a chaise lounge and watch Netflix all day long. Others would just love to have one of those email jobs where you work for like, 2 hours per week. You send an email or two every day, then kick back and play video games or watch TV all day long. 

Of course, most of us will never get to experience that. Perhaps we'll retire someday (hahahaha can you even imagine?!) and spend our days gardening and baking while living off a pension (again, could you imagine?!) But this person got to live out the dream for a short period of time — they really were getting paid for doing absolutely nothing. Even a little extra unexpected cash can totally change your life! You can have a few months of treating yourself before going back to your normal life, or you can let that cash pile up in a savings account to save for your future. You know… just in case you don't get to retire. 

Check out the entire story down below. Then, check out these job interviews that were chock full of red flags like one person who was stunned that "The manager… showed me YouTube videos for like 30 minutes."
