To ask beforehand what someone is doing for a living and then decide how to shower that person with attention, politeness, amazement, compliments or whatever depending on the social status of said person is downright hypocrite...in my opinion. <\/p><p>I think to ask a person straightaway what he or she is doing for a living is quite rude and at some point I stopped answering that question. One might ask during a converation, depends on the conversation however. Well, others might see that different... I had occasions when I was asked in a cold manner what I am doing for a living and I could tell that person was figuring out if it might be worthwhile to have a conversation at all. I answered \u2018none of your business\u2019 and walked away, It was kind of funny to see that flabbergasted face of the person...<\/p><p>Sometimes I guess that question is asked simply as a conversation starter because some people do not know what else to ask and they are accustomed to asking such a question. But sometimes I do think that a person is asking indeed just to find out the social status, because of various reasons. And one reason could be that they want to take advantage of you.<\/p>","appTitle":"Do you think people ask for what you do for a living so they can calculate the level of respect t give to you?","appTags":["life","question","philippines","nigeria",""],"musingPostType":"answer","appParentPermlink":"f322hgsaq","app":"musing\/1.1","appParentAuthor":"purpletanzanite","appCategory":"life"}" |
