What do YOU tell people?
I'm assuming you're new at this. If asked in conversation, I'll tell someone exactly what I do. If their questions stray into actual OPSEC (this is rare), then I'm not going to be having the conversation in the first place, or I'll politely change the subject (a shrug, or pretending not to hear the question does a lot). If someone makes stupid jokes or starts acting like a know-it-all, I'll just excuse myself. You can usually spot a problem before you get to that point in conversation. I might mess with people once in a while if I'm inebriated. For example, I once told a girl at a bar I was a pizza delivery guy, and made up an elaborate story about flying pizzas to needy rich people in nearby cities. The details are hazy, but as I recall, she bought it. This being in my single days, I took her home, but did not marry her.

Reminds me of a pilot know using the penguin safety officer line.
I’ll tell them I’m a Navy pilot. What else could I say? As far as follow on questions...I just answer directly and tell the truth. Don’t overthink this.
Some of the most entertaining shit I heard in flight school was people coming up with creative "alternative occupations" to pick up chicks in local bars, because they were convinced "I'm an SNA/SNFO" would just lead to "oh, not another one." I mean, if you're chasing SNAGs, maybe . . .
On the road, at a bar, the creativity gets fun.
I think our best was convincing a herd of nursing students earning tuition through creative dance that we were attending a dog-catcher convention.
Having a degree in Animal Science made that pretty fun...

I install screen doors on submarines.
Better on submarines, where they belong, than on battleships, where they would be if Biff Tannen had any say in the matter.
I had a buddy try and pick up a chick in San Diego by telling them he drove the trucks that moved the barriers on the Coronado Bay bridge. She looked him square in the eyes and said, "no you don't." He tried to keep pushing his story until she said, "my cousin drives one of those and there are only 5 guys in the city that drive them. I know all of those guys and you're not one of them." He thanked her for her time and moved on.
When I was in Pensacola, I was a fan of saying I used to be a lawyer but then got into some trouble with the law, so I was currently working as a youth hockey coach as part of my community service. And then just basically seeing how deep you could go before she realized you were telling her the plot line of the Mighty Ducks.

How many of them asked you for legal advice?
I feel like it'd be funny to try out but 42% of them would wind up asking you for legal help
I alternate between ski lift sales rep for Doppelmayr, and rare earth mineral prospector. I did successfully crash a large corporate banquet in Seattle once posing as a wine merchant. After a lovely dinner, Kool and the Gang appeared on stage as the entertainment. Turns out, they have more songs than just Celebrate.
