I cook burgers. A lot. I cook them at parties, graduations, weddings, etc. Won a contest to be on a cooking show; I'm not saying I'm the best, but I know my stuff.
When people assume you're meant to put ketchup on a burger I want to rip my tongue out.
What sauces do you put on it?
For the most history-accurate hamburger, mustard is the only condiment, with onions and pickle being wonderful complements. Ketchup was used to entice kids into eating hamburgers.
No ketchup on hot dogs either, especially not in front of a new Yorker.
Putting ketchup on my burgers and hotdogs will taste even better knowing somebody on the other side of the world is upset by it.

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.

People who play tabletop role-playing games have no social skills. Dude, we sit around and talk with real people for literally hours on end - that is literally what the game is!
Also that Dungeons And Dragons is the only role play game. There are hundreds if not thousands with different themes, focuses, setting, systems and whatever else. DnD is good for high action high fantasy, and if that's your bag that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you want a renaissance coutly intrigue it is really not!
i like the lovecraft games
I've played a few games of Call Of Cthulhu, and one of The Laundry. Both have been fun
The Laundry? As in Charles Stross' Laundry Files series? If so, cool! Didn't know it had a TTRPG.

I'm a nurse in cardiac critical care. I don't know why your kid has that rash.
I'm an amateur stand-up comedian, so people ask me to tell my jokes all the time.
These people ignore the fact that a comedy set is all about the context in which you tell the joke
Unless, of course, you are Mitch Hedberg.
