The Groom of the Stool used to clean the monarch’s anus with a wash towel, a bowl, and a dry towel. That profession was actually considered prestigious because quite often the Groom of the Stool was privy of the king’s/queen’s decisions of the state.
Chimney sweepers.

I was 16 when my pops came home and told me he lost his job to one of those new fancy robot icemen, or Refigerator Perry’s as we used to call them when they first descended down on us. They took our whole darn town by 1929. We have stayed hidden in the Appalachians until the day we have the numbers to take back our jobs and our traditional way of life.
I have been amongst you enslaved people for sometime. I’ve seen how you don’t even see all the automatons taking all your jobs. As it started with the fridge and evolved through your civilization from every palm pilot taking personal assistants livelihoods away, to every drone deploying packages or bombs it has permeated through every facet of your existence to listen to you as you wonder when AI will arrive.
I know it arrived back in 1929 when it took the last of the icemen, my father, John Connor. But the war rages on until T2: Judgement Day.

LOL. Anime switch operator @ 3:36
In their youth, my mom worked as a switchboard operator, and my dad was a bowling pin setter.
We loved Maury, our Millman. He would always bring me & my sister a treat, especially around Christmas with a snowball ice cream. Snowballs were vanilla ice cream ball with coconut on the ouside. Those were the days.
Erin Walton was a telephone switchboard operator.
In our neigborhood during WW II it was the ice man.
Gas station attendants
I knew a girl from high school who was a fluffer for several years. She'd make between 500-2500 a day, depending on how many productions needed a fluffer.
Anybody noticed 3:35?!
Has anyone mentioned Draymen ? Men with horse wagons (later pickup trucks) who would collect packages at railway stations in small towns and deliver them to businesses and individuals in the town. Even the railway stations in small towns are a thing of the past.
Diaper services before disposable diapers.
My father was a pin-setter when he was a kid.
2:20 If you look carefully, you'll see this is a modern photo made to look old. 😄
