From paparazzi to grannies for an hour: the top of the strangest services that are in demand

The era of the Internet has done an incredible thing: every whim can now be sold profitably, and finding like-minded people who have the same “cockroaches” is much easier. Ideas are becoming more sophisticated, and the most incredible services appear on the market. Here are some of them. By the way, some companies have been working for more than one year, which means that there is a demand for their strangeness.

Apologizing made easy

For those who can’t step over themselves and ask for forgiveness, the Japanese have come up with a special service: they will apologize for you. An apology by phone costs $ 80, and the cost of a personal meeting comes to $ 250. Unfortunately (and maybe fortunately), such a service is only available in Japan.

Dog cleaning

The American company DoodyCalls has been operating for almost 20 years, and their task is to clean up the dogs. Employees come for a walk and help owners who do not want to get their hands dirty.

Hangover Bus

There is a unique service in Las Vegas: early in the morning there is a bus around the city that collects those who had a very stormy night. The bus has everything that can help with a hangover, from drugs to droppers.

Feel like a star

In New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, it is very easy to feel like a star: for 500 bucks you will be accompanied by a paparazzi and a crowd of fans with screams full of enthusiasm and requests for a joint selfie.

Dog for an hour

But in Utah, a very nice service is popular: for 15 bucks an hour you can rent a little puppy. A dog rental company has several goals. Firstly, puppies are taken by people who are thinking about a dog, and a pet, even temporary, helps them make a choice. And secondly, most customers cannot resist the charming four-legged creature at all and take it away forever.

Immortalize your body in a picture

A very ambiguous service is provided by a company from Virginia: they create portraits from the ashes of deceased loved ones. So, if the urn is too corny, you can order a portrait, the price of which is slightly less - 130 dollars.

Missed the cake - take off granny

But the Australians for an hour seemed to puppies, too boring, and they give ... grandmothers! The most real and with completely different skills. Here you have a favorite tart, gatherings with grandchildren, and a game of dominoes. In general, choose to your taste.

Take a friend for an hour

In 2009, RentAFriend.com launched its website, which rents out ... friends! So if you suddenly get bored, you feel sad or, conversely, have fun, but have no one to share with, then for $ 10 you can find yourself the right person. By the way, the site operates in many countries.

Second pilot

There are companies in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York to help flirt with the girls at the bar. They provide a "co-pilot" who will start a conversation with the girl, and then you just have to support the conversation.

If you do not want to stand in line

It is unlikely that there is at least one person on the planet who likes to stand in line. But now this unpleasant activity can be shifted to someone else's shoulders. In New York, such a service costs $ 25 per hour. Probably there is it in other cities of the planet. And where not, how do you like such a business idea?

Where to go tonight

Agree that it often happens that the evening is delayed due to the fact that it is difficult to choose which bar to go to. Especially for such situations, the Crowdmug application exists. You just need to choose an institution from the list, and people who are currently there will receive a notification on the phone. Further, everything is very simple: one of those present will photograph the institution inside for you, and you will see how many people are there. So it’s much easier to decide where you spend the evening. And the person who takes the photo for you will receive a reward.
