    Default "Whats your occupation?"

    I'm a student, so Im meeting people everyday and a popular question is "what do you do" "where do you work" blah blah blah.
    My friends know I dance, but I dont think I should tell everyone in casual conversation that Im a stripper.
    Have you all had this issue?
    What jobs do you say? Ive been using bartender, because I usually work nights.
    My gf says shes a house cleaner during the day..
    I'd love some new options, or simple drag to tell casual aquaintances
    thanks

    I say whatever comes to mind first usually. If it's casual conversation what i say doesn't matter I'll probably never see that person again, or form a lasting important relationship.
    I say I'm a model ( true)
    Waitress (previously true)
    Entertainer (true)
    Dancer (True. Dancer could mean Ballet, jazz, tap, belly dancing, lol. Dont need to specify)
    College student (sometimes true)
    Cook
    Flight Attendant
    Kept woman
    housewife
    internet business owner
    lottery winner
    trust fund baby

    I coudl go on and on......

    i usually say I model, or that I'm in between jobs. I would like to say I'm a bartender, but if someone asked me a bartender question or wanted a concoction recipe I'd be exposed..I'm just a worrier like that.

    P.S. It's always good to keep the same lie going if you're gonna lie. Don't want anyone to catch you in a lie if you're telling everyone different stories.

    I tell people I'm a ninja. Usually gets a good laugh.... till I poke them in their pressure points and they pass out.

    Question averted.

    i have great trouble with this question im a TERRIBLE liar!!! i hate it cos everytime someone asks me i say im a dancer or a waitress or an entertainer and they always ask for specifics and i get stuck for words. the other day i just came right out and said im a stripper, really iv got nothing to hide and if they have a problem with it that is THEIR problem not MINE.

    It always catches me off guard when someone "pops" the question but I always say I am a bar tender. Sometimes I say I work in North Jersey or by the shore. Far off enough so they usually don't know the area and won't proceed with badgering me about what bar I work at and etc....

    I usually say barwork also. If they push for details I say I sork for an agency and do fill in eork so I don't really know where or when I'm working until I'm pretty much doing it. If they ask for info related to barwork i also use the temp work as an excuse for not knowing "since I'm just filling in I always get the crummy jobs like collecting and washing glasses, doing the rubbish, getting the ice- you know?"

    "Modelling and promotions"

    Or when I'm feeling particularly ugly that day, "Bar"

    Promotions are a good one. Say you're one of the Bacardi girls or whatever. I've done shiz like that. Pays not bad...like $25.hr.

    Totally depends on who's asking.

    Since you're a student, you can just say you live on student loans.

    It seems preferable to not "lie" exactly, but just not tell the whole truth, if you're not wanting to be upfront about what you do.

    I'm someone who likes a lot of privacy, so I'll just tend to be vague about working in a bar rather than outright lie, if I'm not wanting to tell people.

    Just say the bar you work at is really just a beer-and-shots place. That way no one will expect you to know anything complicated. It might be good to know the ingredients in a Long Island Iced Tea though. (Google says: Vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, sour mix and splash of coke/pepsi).

    Or, you could be a cocktail waitress.

    ^^^ Yeah...and sometimes male friends think that your stripper status suddenly makes it acceptable to tell inappropriate jokes or ask inappropriate questions, or in general to sexualize you.

    *EDITED*

    I have one friend who asked me, the other day, "Do guys ever come when you're giving lap dances?" I said, "No, I don't grind enough for that, I don't get that crazy." He got this glazed look in his eye, and insisted that they must. "Oh, I bet they do. They have to. Sometimes." Uhhhh....dude...ick.

    I've had other experiences where the dude pretends he's cool about it, then gets all touchy and overtly sexual in his manner. It's the damn virgin/whore complex they have.

    When I say "dancer" they always think Im a showgirl or some shit - like in Vegas - but I work in Reno people... we dont have showgirls and I dont want them to feel stupid asking questions about my "dancing" so I just say "I spin on a pole" I really dont care what other people think and since I say it so nonchalant I rarely get rude comments - just a few questions from curious people.

    Eh sometimes I'd rather just not say until I know them.
    I've heard a good one where one girl said she was a caterer. She caters late night functions and it takes long to pack up so thats why shes out so late.
