when i tell people i'm a journalist they rarely ask questions, most of the time they either: yell at me and tell me we're all crooks, offer advise at how i could be better at my job (i haven't told them which publication i work for even), or offer barbed little questions about the state of media
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

i am so glad there is no expectation for me to have a conversation with the person at the till in Georgia. Sometimes the whole transaction goes entirely without words. I put my item to scan it, they tap the screen with the price. I tap my card. We exchange a nod and a friendly look, and that's it.
