Badly explain your job

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.

I work out how many hours of care old and disabled people can have and then try and get it approved

@Shayisgreat bang on!

I have a handful of customers and every year I write a big book full of words and numbers for them.

I’m like the dog catcher in Lady and the Tramp but usually take the dogs home instead of to the pound Blush

I teach children from the comfort of my own home (I’m a primary level English tutor) via Skype. This is what I basically do for a living now. I also make up progress reports as well. I used to go into a local primary school and teach but the workload was too much for me.

IamHyouweegobshite · 09/04/2020 22:06

I work with people who try to hold my hand constantly, ask of they can go to the toilet constantly and need to be told to wipe their nose, constantly.

I work one day a week selling a mismatched load of miscellaneous old junk and aim to screw the purchasers for as much of the folding stuff as possible in order to maximise my slice of the proverbial pie.

Leobynature · 09/04/2020 22:12

I tell other people what they need to do to help people

thedishonthecoffeetable · 09/04/2020 22:16

I walk round a yard and blow a whistle at certain age children to move to another place where they will be fed, after a while I blow the whistle again and carry on till all the children have moved to the place and are fed. During this time I also observe children intently and move to ensure the children are happy and don't kill each other 😁

I sit in a room with important people and write down what they say and what they ask for and what they need to do. Then a couple of weeks later I chase them to make sure they have done what they have been asked to do. The. I send what I’ve written down to a very important place and they send money for us to spend.

NotMeNoNo · 09/04/2020 22:29

Tell people to dig holes and fill them in again.

@villainousbroodmare I want to say you are the AI woman but I suspect you are a vet.

Ohjustboreoff · 09/04/2020 22:44

I beat people up for fun and most people lie to me. I was also bullied as a child apparently!

slavetolife · 09/04/2020 22:45

I help people to cut live humans open

whataballbag · 09/04/2020 22:45

I make sure an old man attends his hospital appointments, meetings and write letters to his friends. I also spend his money, boss around his staff and sell his property. And drive round looking for him when he gets lost and pre-empt his every move.

I'm not even sure what my job is at times, it's definitely not what it says on paper anyway!

TerrorWig · 09/04/2020 22:46

My job makes things so efficient I put people out of a job Sad,

That's what it feels like at the moment anyway.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 09/04/2020 22:46

I operate a large piece of machinery, and my customers either regard me as a criminal or the best thing since sliced bread.

Zisforstripyoss · 09/04/2020 22:47

I phone people and put them through to other people.

Elsiebear90 · 09/04/2020 22:48

I make people run on treadmills until they have heart attacks.
