Happened to me in real life and it really changed my perspective for some reason. I was at a bar with a group of people I recently met, and one of them asked me what I do. I sighed internally and started answering the premade answer I give everyone, explaining my job and the company I work for. He cut me off and told me "Yeah yeah that's great, but what do you DO?". I was taken aback for a second, and then I started telling him what I do for fun, what my hobbies were, etc. It really turned a boring icebreaker into a genuine conversation
