I get the same kinds of issues when I tell people I'm a lawyer. About 2% actually are interested, 88% want to lawyer bash or get free legal advice (or BOTH, which is especially mystifying to me) and the other 10% ARE lawyers. They just go, "huh."

Well said, LawyerChick!
You're right on the money regarding people's responses to learning I'm a lawyer. Add among them, "How can you defend those scum?" when they learn I have a criminal defense practice. But then they want to hear the stories.
And, really, lawyers are the worst. I met a guy , a lawyer, on an internet dating site who refused to get to know me -- becaue I'm a lawyer!
For years I said I was a dental hygienist. Now I say I'm a lion tamer. Maybe I'll switch to flight attendant....

I actually called my blog "LawyerChick" - at Heather's suggestion, no less - because of an encounter with a lawyer sitting next to me on the plane. Heather witnessed it all (except for the "lawyer chick" comment).
Maybe I'll switch back to what I was before I went to law school - "I watch bugs have sex..."
