Poll: How much would someone have to pay you to do nothing?

Basically, how much would you need to get paid to stand and stare at a blank wall?
(you can take toilet, lunch breaks etc).

Hmm... A lot. Because this involves no activity. Even imagination and fantasizing would not sustain for a long time.

I am assuming that your conditions also imply no carrying a notebook, pen, a console, no music etc. Only staring at the wall.

thatd make me insane i think

id charge a $100 an hour? Hahaha

Hmm...

Hard to know. My line of thinking: I think I would go nuts if I couldn't take a nap, or do something productive. Maybe if it was like $100 or $200 an hour. I think it'd increase as your availability of new jobs increases. At the moment, I average around $12 an hour, and the time can go by relatively fast. However, I think I would just stand at a wall and stare at it for $500 definitely. Therefore, my range is $100 - $500. I'm feeling a bit more inclined toward $250, maybe even $200

It sounds similar to the weird questions wee used to ask each other, except no gratuitous sexual images.

I'm used to doing nothing so I'm fine with low pay, but I'd want to be paid a lot because, more money is better right?

It's about how much I'm paid to do fudge all...

can you really do "nothing"? because by doing nothing you're doing something.....

also, no, i wouldn't even take the job, i get pissed off at work when I'm given nothing to do and have to just stand around waiting for something to do, i like to be on my feet, i enjoy it even more being on my feet overworking myself, it's like drugs to me XD

It's mainly about reserve price. For example, if I offered you $1,000,000/hour for it, I'm pretty sure you'd accept. If I then changed my mind to $100,000 you'd probably still want to do it. So really, the question is how far down would I have to go before you start saying no?
Of course people want more money, but I'm trying to get your minimum :P

For me, just enough to pay for all my living expenses.
