Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you’re into music you must be able to play any random instrument.
I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

For a while, I was a burlesque dancer as a fun little side gig. In my daytime life, I’m an accountant.
One day I was talking to someone on a non-work related Slack. I told them I’m an accountant and they asked me where they could find my OnlyFans page. That’s the day I learned a lot of SWs tell people that they are accountants. This misconception happens all the time now. I’ve started saying “I’m an accountant. That’s not code for anything. I really am just a regular accountant.”
SWs wouldn’t need to do this if we treated them better. I get why the community chose accountant as a faux title. It has made me talking about my work very awkward and creepy.
