In DEAD AGAIN, newly deceased show master Bruno has to work off his enormous financial debts as a ghost in the Afterlife.
Ghost do all sorts of low level jobs: They rotate the little cake-domes in cafés, they sit on street lights at night and operating them by hand. They are next to you on the couch when you’re watching TV and they have to get up every time you press a button on your remote control.
what other vital parts of our lives are operated by invisible ghosts?
what other low level ghost jobs would you like to see in the movie?
what would be the worst ghost job in the world?
Looking forward to your ideas, people!

The Department Of Menial Affairs:
Insuring the existence of grease, grime, rust, dust, and stones,
sees to such important tasks as shaking the last dead leaf from
trees before the onset of Spring and other Menial events that insure
the cleansing existence of homo sapiens.
Some of the ghost are supposed to repeat what people say to create echo...
Something about answering calls from whining souls suffering existential problems?
as a sucky job they could dispose garbage every time someone puts something in the garbage disposal :D
as a cool job they could make those creepy noises in the old houses (or in houses generally) to scare off children and adults :D
they could also be pulling/pushing trams and cable cars etc
Now I know how software bugs are generated..
It must be that ghost who have gotten bored and annoyed. They are poking around with the software and laughing behind the poor nerds who are trying to figure out what is happening with the software they just wrote.
ghosts have to look around for traffic, and alert you when it is safe to cross by putting up the little "walk" light.
in the morning, ghosts have to activate your alarm at a time set by you. this is a crappy job because they have to stay up and watch the clock all night, so everytime it doesn't go off, this is because a ghost probably fell asleep.
Fridge operators - They turn off the light in the fridge when you close the door and well, you know how it gets cold when there's a ghost around... They have to sit in there all day - the only time they get to have little break is when you forget to shut the fridge door.
Elevator men - They move the elevator by hands, grabbing the cables and pulling it up and down. There's probably around 6 to 10 of them per each elevator. And they have a lot of back problems.
Lottery machine workers - They keep the thing rolling and kick out the balls one by one. This is a work designed especially for the one's who gambled a lot in their lives.
on animist religions it is a custom to be possessed with the intention of helping people giving them advice.
on such religions it is common to offer spirits perfumes, tobbacco and alcohol for their support.
There could be work agencies specialised in giving jobs for the deceised on that area.
The Australian webcomic 'Irregular Webcomic' give quit a view of the afterlife
Something else now. There is only one grim reaper, he? why not make two or more of them who are arguing all the time over who gets who
I think ghosts would have work between heaven and earth. For example each living person would have a ghost keeping count of their deeds. Some would have work as dreams. Others, work as that little voice we always listen to.
