    Well said. This is why I always ask what people do for a living after asking for their name to determine if it is worth my time to engage in interaction with them.

    P.S. I never remember their name. I always remember their profession. Janitor? NEXT

      I open with my profession so they know whether it's worth their time speaking to me. It's only polite. I have a little fun, too. One day I'll be an accountant. One day I'll be a pot washer but in the military to watch them try to work out which 'troop' and 'lowlife' is the descriptor and which one is the profession.
