[Gust Hubb]

Let's face it. Every profession in life is stereotyped from fast food servers to presidents. This thread is dedicated to enjoying the quirks of your own job in the following fashion:

You know you're a ____ when ____


For instance:

You know you're a Pathologist when you watch a steak being tenderized for dinner and all you can think about is the crush artifact that will be introduced to the histologic sections.

or

You know you're a Pathologist when that stained glass window reminds you of a really interesting case you saw under the microscope just last week.




Try it. I know I will be thinking of many more in the coming years .

You know you're in sales/marketing, when you end every phrase with a "right?"

You know you're a lifeguard when you wear sunglasses all year round.

You know you're a life guard when one of the first questions you ask a girl is "can you swim?"

You know you're a Psyc Major when you actually fold your title page to see that the crease is exactly between the title of your report and your name. (Fun Fact: APA guidelines are the devil)

You know you're a law student, when yyou preface an answer to every question with "Now, i'm only allowed to give you information, not advice".
