    Any office based job is boring.

    Standing on a street corner waiving a marketing sign would nearly drive me insane when thinking of the most boring jobs. With that said, I would take whatever job I could earn to make ends meet, regardless of how boring it might be, and I respect those who do! We all start somewhere and most of us have had to log countless hours doing jobs we don't like.

    I'm a security guard and I work in an elevator. For 6 hours every day during the week I stand in an elevator and tally how many people go in and out. Completely pointless. Not to mention I get motion sickness and i'm stuck in a 4x3 box. Most boring job ever!

    My most boring job was hand sorting rocks at a moving conveyor belt!

    Wal-Mart greeter, well I didn't have that job, but I think that's the most boring job ever. Because you always greet, and no one will notice you.
