"What do you do?"


In the process of meeting new people, as we all know, the question that comes only second to your name is “what do you do?” When I respond with, “I’m an interior designer”- I have found some of the following comments to be most common and rather comical. Just keep in mind, I am asked as least two of these questions/ comments in every social situation. This happens quite often. Enjoy…

“Oh, how fun! “
“So, do you like go into people’s houses and tell them what they need?”
“Do you just like do that on your own or do you work for somebody…?”
“Yeah, I thought about doing that… then I decided not to.”
“So do you just go make places more homey?”
“Oh, yeah? My sister-in laws cousin does that. Erh- well, she did- then she got married. She’s really good at scrapbooking. “
“Oh, I wish I could do that but I’m not creative enough. I’m just not good at putting stuff together.”
“Interior designer eh? You don’t find a lot of those around here!”
“So, do you know auto CAD?!”
“Hospitality projects huh? So, do you like design hospitals?”
“You need to come help my house!”
“Oh, I just bought a new sofa!”
“So, what do you think of THIS room?”
“OMG! I love HGTV! Do you ever watch those shows?!”
“OH! Trading Spaces is my FAVORITE!!!”
