Yes. They think whatever they trade in is dull. Either that or they are in the business of working for someone doing a generic job. I notice you are a company director, what do you do for a living?
What do I do?You know, this and that, ducking n diving. Import and export mostly buying and selling.......stuff....anything. I buy and sell!
Actually I own and manage a group of Health Clubs.

You should try working in telecoms. I have to answer endless st about what's the best phone or what tariff should I be on. Thankyou4calling said:
Whenever I ask someone they seem evasive and not want to say what their job is.
It's always "I'm a businessman"
Yes but what business?
"All sorts"
Ahhh what specifically?
"This and that, you know I'm in business"
Are people ashamed or embarrassed ?
I just find it odd.
Maybe too polite to tell you to mind your own business.It's always "I'm a businessman"

"All sorts"

I have always wondered this exact thing. I am a nosey person though. I like to know what people do and how much they earn and then I use that information to plan my strategic take over of the business world and make billions....

I don't either because you get invited around peoples houses and while there they start the old "while you here can you just look at my pc"I'm not even sure they want to know me rather just get free IT support, if they understood I'd tell them I work with vmware and EMC san and the last time I worked on a pc was 10 years ago
I'm sure a bricklayer isn't asked to build a wall every time he goes around someones house.
