This man from UK earns 160 pounds per day (about Rs 16,000) while standing in a queue. Yes, you read that right.

As per reports, London-based Freddie Beckett charges the amount to stand in line for the rich for whom time is sometimes more than money.

Beckett has clients ranging from families with children to pensioners and stands in queues for shopping, getting tickets for exhibitions, museums, movies, and shows. He says queuing comes naturally to him for he is from UK and that he has practiced it "down to a fine art".

"I worked eight hours for a job queuing for the V&A's Christian Dior exhibition for some very well-to-do people around their mid-sixties," the professional waiter told The Sun.

However, sometimes he had to wait in line during the freezing cold. The busiest hours are, however, during the summer, when London gets busier with its big events and exhibitions. Despite earning well through his gig of his, he says that one cannot make this a full time job as queues don't last that long.

Beckitt is a writer by profession and this ‘side job' fits him well with his writing schedule though it amuses his friends and family. He also advertises his skills like pet sitting, gardening etc on Taskrabbit, an online market place for freelance labour.
