You think how to ask the boss for a raise and get a raise? But these workers of antiquity and the Middle Ages, it was not until career.
Reading about these degrading occupations of the past, it is difficult to believe that "All professions are needed, all professions are important". Now they seem savage, but then were quite commonplace, and some - even considered to be quite a "tasty morsel".
Vyschipyvatel armpits
Shaved armpits - this is not a new trend. Smooth skin under the strong muscles everywhere was the sign chosen rich beauties of ancient Rome. Razors did not yet exist, but were vyschipyvateli armpits, wielding bronze tweezers.
One can only imagine how this painful procedure... probably why the patricians used and alternative - smeared armpits monstrous mixture of the composition, from which the hair had to fall on their currently.
The court in the host vessel
By the way, here's an example of a profession with increased and improved working conditions. Joke. In medieval England, each English autocrat was in the service of a special woman who It was scheduled to throw out the contents of the master's 24/7 pot and clean it for the new "Session".
Later banal pot has been enhanced and transformed into a chair with a built-in pot. Eureka! So, apparently, he said the owner of this prehistoric "toilet" Henry VI, who created a new position - the court at the vessel.
This "closet Manager" everywhere wore pot for His Majesty. And to keep up with the boss, the monarch, he watched his diet and even predicted schedule "meetings" of the king. "The horror, the horror" - do you think? A court "unitazonos" had, in fact, exclusive access to the monarch, which enabled him to rise above the rest of the servants.
Fuller
In the past, tissue and skin to further the use of treated specially trained fulleries. They spend days standing in the tub with water and alkaline chemicals and relentlessly trampled matter bands to give it smoothness.
"Normal operation" - you might say. We supplement the description of the "job" one nuance: affordable alkaline solution was... stoyalaya urine. "Material" had to be collected throughout the county, and has the capacity to stand around houses to residents restock urine.
Whipping boy
all just here. A boy from a poor family hired him to be prosecuted instead of the boy - the son of wealthy parents. Naughty little rich part, so whipping boy often flogged, and the "fifth point" hired "lawyers" on a regular basis was aqua. The majority of the boys would give anything for a "post", because whipping boy was brought together with a little of the rich and simultaneously with it its privileges.
The court barber
You can not understand how this list included barbers? In ancient Rome sluzhanki- "stylists" clock stacked curls and other curls on their heads crowned hosts using the "makeup" of a mixture of rotten leeches, squid ink liquid, pigeon droppings and Of course, urine.
ratter
First, rat bite and were infectious. Secondly, they had to catch, standing waist-deep in the filth sewers, where rats and lived. Brr ...
But resourceful Pied Piper came up with a stroke of genius, to optimize their work. They bred the "elite" of rats and sell them to the rich as pets, instead of a cat. Trained "Shushary" she destroyed all the other rats in the house, and the Pied Piper did not even need to touch the nasty "trophies."
Collector leeches
In the Middle Ages it did not have the kits with antibiotics, antipyretic and headache tablets - the whole arsenal of drugs replaced leeches. Delivered their fashionable healers leeches catchers, who hunt these creatures through their own ankles, which leeches clinging.
It was enough to "walk" along streams or channels, to "catch" the party of leeches, and when they get drunk blood from the legs and unhook deliver to physicians. Sometimes the fishermen due to heavy loss of blood lost consciousness, but sick leave them, of course, is not discharged.
drummers
They took part in the hostilities and were actually in the middle of the battlefield. Almost until the second half of the 19th century was made to accompany the drums: it was believed that it helps to maintain the rhythm of the soldiers, and sometimes - drumming passed important orders. Very privileged profession, but with a very short period of track, because drummers often die first.
snatcher
In those days, when the treatment was limited leeches were still doctors who understand how important it is to know the anatomy of the human body. However, the autopsy had been strictly prohibited church, so doctors staged "dissecting" at home and "material" they have supplied the thieves bodies of fresh graves. The work was very night.
dog Chaser
These "experts" should expel "Tuzikov" and "balls" from the church during the service. Brood quadrupedal brothers was extremely loud and hungry, so strove to bite people or... shit directly into the walls of the temple.
