Incognito job description (lighthearted)

I don't like to divulge my occupation openly and instead describe it in a, technically accurate, but unrelated sounding way. Whether you actually do this or not, I thought it'd be interesting to see how people would describe their job if they had to make it sound different, and whether we could guess what the real occupation was from said description.

Mine is that I work with candles.

I find people with lots of money - who then pay me lots of money - to find other people who want lots of money.

Snap.. with the added excitement of then completing forms on said website.

I read about problems in people's lives and tell other people how to help the people with the problems.

I input all of this into a computer so that when the people with the problems complain about the people who help them with the problems I get to explain why this happened.

I give the people who are helping the people with the problems timescales for tasks to help the people with the problems.

Sorry, no 😂

I spend most of my working day handling items I'd like to take on holiday with me and quite frequently do

TheDogsMother · 05/05/2023 16:19

@jacquec That's a good guess but it's not me.

BarbaraofSeville · 05/05/2023 16:59

I meet people, mostly men, but sometimes women, for a chat.

Then they get me to dress up so they can show me their equipment.

I scrub hammers, drills , funny shaped metal objects,and sharp pointy things and then put them in giant dish washers. I then package everything and then put them in massive ovens.

This is so that the people that cut, hammer and poke people can do it all safely.
