Anyone else get asked "What do you do for a living?"

“About 7 years of saving”

Or

“I dont know, my wife bought it for me” - she is the BEST

 

Never had that question. A few “how much” which if they appear genuine is “about 40 years of saving my pocket money”!

 

Haven't been asked that in a while. Usually I'm honest.. Doctor. And they're like... ohhhhh (as in "makes sense").

 

I get it all the time. I usually say I'm a salesman. When do they ask what? I say various items. If I could say I'm a janitor without lying, I would.

 

Brown bagging lunches, paper route and mowing lawns are also excellent choices!

 

"How much did it cost and what do you do for a living?"
****
About 12 years ago, ~1:00AM, I-10 West Texas, heading West, pouring rain and a small town cop pulls me over on the Interstate for 5-10 over the limit. After looking at usual paper work he asked the above question and "Where are you going?" Totally weird!

 

I guess you can say you bought it using Acorn then....

 

When asked how much, I usually reply about $50 a pound.

 

All this and you still haven't given us fancy coachwork that you said you would!

 

I always say “Work my ass off”

 

Beautiful!

 

Steal exotic cars for a living. The car cost 5-10 years

My first professional job out of college was with the IRS. I quickly learned answering this question was a major buzz killer. I started telling people I was an undertaker. Hmm... you look to be a size 10.

I tell them I'm a Ferrari tech.
They then assume I'm on a test drive.

 

If you don't have dirt under your fingernails, your cover is blown. Take it from a pro!

 

I have been questioned on the clean hands. I tell them we are gloved up while at work..
"Ahh.. yea...of course .." is the usual response.

 

As said by a couple of other folks: As little as possible.

Your answer doesn't matter. He's checking for attitude. As in 'just give me a reason son'. Just bite your tongue give him a straight no bs answer followed by 'Yes sirs' and 'No sirs'.
Showing a cop respect (whether or not deserved) can be the difference between a warning and a ticket. (or worse)

My son was washing his Huracan with a friend (he sold it, F8 incoming).
Neighbors walking by asked him what he did.
His friend without missing a beat with a straight face, said "Adult film."
They sort of nodded and kept going.
I would have loved to see that.

 

Great minds think alike!

 

I work for the owner.

 

Keeping secrets from Dad?

 

It's not true.
As far as I know...
