That you keep having to explain over & over because people just don’t understand?

I work in a school & always get asked if I ‘find the students hot/have I fucked in the classroom’ etc

It’s not how the porn films portray it,sorry to burst your bubbles boys

Btw no the students are grim & yes I have but that’s another thread

That having 13 week's holiday ayear is great.

1. Most of us spend lots of our 'holiday' either at school sorting our classrooms or at home doing lesson prep and writing up observations and reports or attending seminars and courses to help with our jobs.

2. 13 week's holiday when we can do as we please, travel wise, as long as it falls within those 13 weeks, the most expensive and busiest times to do anything. And God forbid you book a holiday that ends the last day of the school holidays and your flight is delayed.... The wrath of the Head or Borough will be on you for skipping a day term time. (Same applies for sick leave!)

My last job as a chef... people thought my family lived on beautifully prepared and cooked food. Nothing could be further from the truth. I loved my job, but by the time I got home, everyone had eaten something I threw in the slow cooker earlier most of the time. No way I had any desire to prep food when I got home. I was knackered

Second was the rarity in which people wanted to cook for me as they thought I would be judging their cooking. That never happened. I was just grateful that someone would cook for me

1) A boring anorak with no social skills who also collects stamps and goes train spotting

2) That you have an almost Rainman like ability to recall every piece of legislation and statutory instrument instantaneously

3) That you’re a “jobsworth” with the intention of making people jobs as difficult as is humanly possible

That I have tight abs and eat nothing but chicken and rice.

I love to train but I love food too!! My physique changes constantly and fluctuates between rather shredded and muscular but fluffy.

People think my job is easy, but try letting them do it and they don't have a clue.

That I fully understand the things I mend and that the people who operate those things also understand them.

that'll be no on both counts.

They don’t think I’m being serious when I say my job is to con and insult them.

They think it’s funny when I say I’m like a rhinoceros - I’ve got thick skin and charge a lot.

I’m a pub manager and people think that when I ask for ID it’s because I’m a bitch what people don’t realise is that I can get a fine/lose my job, my bosses can lose their personal licenses and get a fine as well as the company I work for getting slammed with a big fine as well

A world all of his own

That I either make cars or automatically know how to fix cars as I work for a large automotive company.

I do actually know how to "repair" cars but that comes through having owned old bangers and not having the money, then, to pay to have them repaired.

"That tradesman have no education"

Ah but you can’t teach common sense, we have some very well educated friends who have no common sense and seem to live in an alternate world to the rest of us.

I'm a carer and every single person's first thing that they say is oh that's a hard job

It's really not. I've had a cracked rib..bloody nose and often have to be on my guard for a fast hand but the majority of my job entails having a laugh with the residents....make them tea..help them to get ready and help them to the toilet x
