People are sharing the irritating responses they get when they say their job
It all started when @NatePhilbrick tweeted this about the reactions he get whenever he tells anyone he is a writer.
If other jobs got the same response as writing:
-You're a fireman? Have you put out any famous fires?
-You're a lifeguard? Can I be a victim in your next rescue?
-You're a physicist? I have a few universe theories myself!
-You're a chef? I'd do food too, but I never have time.— Nate Philbrick (@NatePhilbrick) March 10, 2018
Which struck such a chord that it was shared more than 5,000 times all by itself.
But then other people joined in, sharing the irritating responses they get when they tell someone their job, and it took on a whole new life of its own.
