Meeting new people in chalets

I once got asked where I worked, when I said I worked for McDonalds a fellow guest asked how I could afford to go on a skiing holiday. This pompous teacher got a shock when I told him the drug dealing and armed robberies I do every year financed the holidays and did not speak to me for the rest of the week. Some people just don't get sarcasm!

Now of course the cool response would have been, "oh that's jolly interesting. Class A, B or C or all three?"

I used to use the "I sell drugs" line - with great enjoyment and, often, perplexity from those hearing it.

I worked for a paharmaceutical company at the time :mrgreen:

...but very funny seeing their faces when they ask you how much you paid and it was half what they did!!!

Wouldn't it be considered a rude question to ask - like asking someone you just met how much they make per year? :)

I have been asked often, usually by people who thought they had got a really good deal, only to find good old TH paid a lot less, which usually pisses them off a bit. But I've never asked first.

I'd also never consider asking someone what they earn. Its often a conversation point to discuss what people do for a living. The guy next to me in ADH was a farmer, and his GF was quiet while he was discussing the merits of milking his herd. I asked her what she did, and hes simple reply was "I get paid a s*** load for sticking my hands up his cows a****s"
Needless to say, she was a vet, not a weirdo.

This is funny really because Mrs snapzzz and i have been having a big chat this week about how different people are when it comes to personal matters.
I really don't mind who knows how much i earn, if I'm ill or if i'm in debt.....i really don't care. We are all equal in my eyes, you are no better than i , we just have different lives.
Mrs Snapzzz however values her privacy massively, she reads Facebook but NEVER posts.
I suppose its just life's rich tapestry....we are who we are.

I do not care what you think of me, simple.
