What do you do?
Saw an article on Boing Boing during the week about "What do you do?" being a question most Americans ask each other when they meet.
Well I have to say it's not only Americans that do it. Just about everyone I've met in Australia has done it too. In fact they did it so often it used to drive me completely mental. I used to *HATE* meeting people at church, because I'd ALWAYS get the same questions - Where do you live? What do you do? I automatically got so defensive about it and once I was quite rude to someone that did it to me.
Yeah I'm pretty screwed up.
