    Default I really hate this question...

    No, it's not "what do you do for a living?", it's "So, do you have the day off?". I really hate this question because yes, I DO have the day off. But then they look at you like, "It's Tuesday afternoon and you're paying for your groceries/pedicure/making a deposit in cash...". ARGH! Just ask me what I do for a living instead so I can lie to you and get it over with!

    They always ask that at the nail salon, "So you work today?" Haha, I think it's just something they say to make conversation.

    ^Yea! It just makes me so nervous! Like they're trying to pry information or something, heh.

    I'm bitching because I have to make a deposit and I hate the bank that's closest to me (and is in the grocery store so it's very convienient). The manager or whatever always tries to flirt with me and asks me this question and looks at what I'm depositing and it just... ARGH! Okay, Ima suck it up and go now...

    They used to do that at my bank, and one time I let it go for a few days and I was making a cash deposit of $1000. The bank teller finally made a little comment about how much cash, and I just shrugged and smiled and said, "All in a day's work." She said, "Wow, I need to get into THAT line of work. What do you do?" And I calmly responded, "I'm a stripper." She turned bright pink and no one at the bank ever made another comment, which is fine by me.

    For the past 8 weeks, I've been going to the credit union and putting $1000 in cash each week on the principal of my car loan. I've got the same teller every time, this cute 20-something asian boy... Next week is my last payment, and I'll have my car paid off! I'm pretty sure the teller is dying to know what I do. Hahahah.. Maybe I'll tell him... He'll have a good story tell his friends.

    Yea, I considered saying "Oh, I work nights" but then they'd say, "Oh, what do you do" and it's all just a pain in the butt!

    (That guy was busy with some confused old woman when I went in just now. It was so nice! The girl made my deposit, gave me my recipt, and told me to have a nice day... and that's how life should be )

    I used to work 3rd shift. Say you work at the information desk at the hospital, or that you do data entry (what I did)

    If you want a story, you could always be a bartender or a waitress. They work at night and get paid in cash. If they ask where you work, you could always just look at them blankly and ask, "Why?"

    That's my favorite answer. Or I just look at them like they're crazy. Why does a random nosey stranger need to know where I work or what I do? It's none of their business; they can piss off.

    Yeah, I'm a big fan of the blank look and "Why?" It tends to shut people right up.

    i get that sort of thing more often when i'm leaving work. i choose to work dayshift though. so, that means i wind up leaving around 8pm-9pm with full hair and make-up. when i go to the grocery store or whatnot, i get asked where i came from or where i work a lot. i've even been flat out asked "where do you dance?" which is funny, since when i'm not all stripper hair and make-up, no one would even think to ask me that.

    i usualy just go "dance???" and look at them confused. then they say "oh my god, i'm so sorry." to which i respond with "oh no, it's ok, i actualy work at thee dollhouse" ....... then i follow up with "why are you sorry?"

    I was doing some banking business and the teller asked me what I do for a living, and I was just honest. She said "Damn girl! You make way more than me! Way to go!"

    If a bank teller was nosy enough to ask me I would seriously report her. So far, I haven't had that problem, and I make deposits at the same bank every week. I really would resent being asked.

    Just ignore the nosiness. These people work a boring desk job so naturally they might be a little curious.

    It bugs me, too. I was buying fancy lingerie on a Tuesday at one of those upperclass malls and the counterwench was all, "Your man lets you shop!!!???"

    No bitch, today is my day off and it's MY FUCKING MONEY.

    Person A: "So you have today off"
    Me: "Yes"

    Person A: "What do you do?"
    Me: "I operate my own business"
    Person A: "Oh doing what?"
    Me: "Investing"

    Dont worry they wont ask, it sounds too dry and boring.

    If they do ask just say you invest in the future share market.

    You could always just tell them you're a pimp, or that you deal cocaine down at (X) Elementary School. Watch them short-circuit while they try to figure out if you're serious.

    I don't like that question either, but I think they're just trying to make small talk. Sometimes bank tellers, manicurists, hair stylists, etc. are nosy enough to ask where I work, and I usually say I'm a bartender. I'm not ashamed of my job at all, but I don't want to deal with the stupid questions that would inevitably follow telling the truth.

    Yeah, WI isn't all the stripper friendly Hottie is it? LOL!

    My favorite response when people say, "What do you do" is to answer "About what?"

    That always shuts them up. I think it's a rude question, although I do know people are just trying to make conversation.

    And remember, customers don't like being asked that either lol!
