Try being an archaeologist:
” Have you found any gold?”
“What dinosaurs have you found?”Or my personal favourite “Have you deigned any famous buildings?”

The third one is familiar. Astrophysicists frequently get people telling them their personal theory to replace all of modern physics. “Relativity isn’t real and can be replaced with <insert theory>” is common. Moon-landing conspiracy folk. Those who think space isn’t even real.

Every time I get the, “Oh you’re a writer? You should totally write my life story!!” one, I have to keep from saying, “And he/she died a horrible death at the hands of the writer, who turned homicidal after one too many times of someone telling him to write about their life.”

You’re a knitter?
Could you knit this incredibly intricate lace shawl for me for free? It should only take you about 100 hours, but I’ll buy the yarn.

I was a baker once, and people used to ask for free samples. I just hope they don’t say that when I say I’m a writer.

You’re a teacher? I hated school. Here’s everything you need to change in your classroom.
Except that actually is what happens…
