[Dionysus]

This one pisses me off far more than the "do you have a boyfriend?" question.

After you've just met someone, new or someone you have not seen in a long time, the second or third question is usually "And, what do you do?"

Okay, can people be a little more subtle about judging others according to which jobs/careers they have? What if the person they're asking is unemployed? Still in school? Stay at home parent? Having trouble getting interviews? Or, having any other complication that prevents them from gaining employment? While this is one of the most common and harmless (on surface) questions, it can leave people feeling pretty awkward.
