It was the profession that inspired one of the Beatlesâ most famous love songs.
But even though Lovely Rita, Meter Maid famously stole the hearts of the Fab Four, it seems that traffic wardens no longer fit the bill when it comes to attracting the opposite â â â .
The job, which involves patrolling parking zones and handing out fines, has been named the least appealing profession for those on the look-out for a potential partner.
A survey has revealed that more than one in three people questioned considered the role a âdeal breakerâ when trying to find Mr or Mrs Right.
Fast food workers, strippers and taxi drivers were also named in the bottom ten while second hand car sales workers also scored badly.
The poll of 2,122 UK residents found that having a partner who works in a âjobsworth positionâ was off-putting as were professions that involved âunsociable hoursâ and the âdanger factorâ.
Long distance lorry drivers and a role in the military were second and third least appealing jobs for would-be partners.
If you are chatting up a girl at a bar and she asks what do you do for a living,many drivers will not say " lorry driver".
Watch the look in her face when you do.
Then she makes an excuse,and is gone.Most people assume there is no room to sleep in cabs and think we all have to find hotels.
Then they ask " Where do you wash? ".
As shallow as these people are for making these judgments they will be based on the impression they get by seeing people in these roles.
I.e
Traffic wardens are jumped up little hitlers who make people unhappy with there smug attitude.
Fast food workers are all spotty arrogant youthsâŠ
And when these people who have been surveyed have seen a lorry driver he has probably been waddling back to his cab with a bucket of KFC or having a â â â â â on his wheelsâŠ

In my case, it might be a look of relief from the girl, as she can then turn me down flat with head held high for being financially inferior - rather than admit itâs merely 'cos she donât fancy me, but had the poor judgement to date formerly a pox-ridden travelling tinker whoâs never got any money, but always turned up for âYou looking at my lass?â when not askedâŠ
Women frequently exhibite âpoor judgementâ in selecting their mates - or you can go about your life believing it really is all your fault.
Even youth or money doesnât burn through all the issues women have about making bad decisions about âWot Guyâ - Youth and Money merely offer a âPositive Charisma Adjustmentâ and therefore do not represent the whole story. The guy found bonking your misses when youâre on nights is more likely to be unemployed than a travelling salesman after all⊠What did he have that you didnât? - Being there, and able to stay a whileâŠ.
(1) Be there before the good looking guy, and invoke the âgood enough for nowâ in womenâs instincts
(2) Have enough of that strongest aphrodisiac known to man - cold hard cash - to distract her from the fact youâre uglier than the next guy.
I was never afraid to tell people, especially women what i do for living. Because Iâm proud of the job i have and the service i provide. If said girl didnât like it, then that was her tough luck and her loss. Thankfully i found the lobe of my life who didnât mind what i done for a living and weâve been together for 7 years, married for 3. Iâd rather do this than say i work in the local wimpy restaurant.
Waste disposal worker - 9%
