Occupational stereotypes

[rp-]

I am a pool repair man here in s.a. most times when I tell people my job I get asked 'if its like in the movies'. Disappointingly, no, it is not. In 14 years the only action I've got was going home for a nooner. The whole stereotype I'd getting annoying...

Just curious what some of you guys do and what the stereotypes are?

Engineer, nerd - fits pretty well in my case.

Being very diversely self employed, I could be most anything.

As a pimp, I always get remarks about me beating my hos, and it just pisses me off, even if it is spot on!!!

I'm a white looking tallish salesman. I have good credit and bug the piss out of people who aren't customers. I show up with food to customers most times. Salesman stereotypes- drinks, fun, can be loud, can start a party, can be too NSFW at work.

Pretty stereotypical salesman and maybe redneck.

Trucker serial killer

I guess the stereotypical trucker looks like larry the cable guy and wears flannel. I drive a lot and meet lots of people. Not one trucker has ever fit that stereotype


People tend to think pool guys all wear speedos and are tanned... Can't say either of those are true

I'm stereotypically me, because I had to read that title a few times before it made sense to me.

Southy I didn't pick the STUPID title, They did. I wanted Janitor on my business cards.
