So, what do you do?

Turns out, they have more songs than just Celebrate.

Now I know your story is BS.

I currently announce to the local citizenry that I’m a professional male model for Dunkin’ Donuts and Omega SA...specifically Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and the Omega Speedmaster Professional...



I used to announce to the local citizenry that I was a professional Nintendo Game Boy Tetris player...

Pretty simple question really but something I have been thinking about lately.

How do you respond when someone asks you what you do for a living? Do you tell them you are a Naval Aviator or a Student Naval Aviator? Why? Why not? How do you respond to follow on questions?

Food critic, Part time Travel writer, real estate investor ... unless they’ve got a discount for my real job.

I tell them I am a plumber. If they don’t believe me I show them my butt crack.

 

[Renegade One]

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.

Random girl in Houston: So what do you do at NASA?
Me: How much do you know about the Space Program?
Her: Nothing.
Me: I'm an Astronaut.

I've told a story a few times about being a bus driver. I work for the local school and I drive the short bus for retarded kids.

In reality, I'm a helicopter pilot that flies ground dudes around, so it's really not a stretch.

For about a year and half I told folks in my gym that I was an official in the NFL. Line judge was my go to.. But then the strike happened and few folks wanted to give me some cash to help me get by. So had to fess up, now everybody knows what I do. Cause you know how you can tell if a Pilot is in the room...

I always wanted that job...

Horse dentist.

 

[PhrogLoop]

I would tell them I’m an author. That’s right, a Published. Writer.

I used "bus driver" for many years. When I retired and went to "The Show", I upgraded to "glorified bus driver".

 

[RobLyman]

When I met my ex wife, I actually told her what I did. She didn't believe me after several dates until I stopped by after work in my flight suit.
Being a pilot is the most popular dream job.
