Because I think we all need a laugh at the moment! Inspired by a Twitter hashtag, explain your job (or an old one) and guess what other posters’ jobs were.

I use dangerous chemicals and fire around children.

@YesPleaseMary

I don't know what the job role would be called, but you're an engineer who does electricity stuff, messing round with telegraph wires etc?

I ask people what they do and then tell them they do it wrong.

I ensure that Franz and Bob can talk, even if Franz has no idea what Bob is waffling on about and Bob has no idea what Franz is waffling on about.

BlueGheko · 09/04/2020 18:39

I saw the best one of these a few years ago. A minister posted:
“I’ve married multiple men and I know where all the bodies are buried” 😂

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 09/04/2020 18:56

Yes, BlueGhecko I'm a translator (specifically German to English for legal documents).

I also very occasionally interpret Pickles89 (but only where a very general overview is required of what is being said and never in a formal setting such as a court).

FNuts · 09/04/2020 18:57

People come and see me so they can blow into tubes, and other come and see me because their other halves are complaining they snore too much

Ragwort · 09/04/2020 19:00

I sort crap, thank people for giving me absolute rubbish that I know will go straight to the tip and try to motivate a team of people that are unpaid and under valued.
