A guy enters the elevator right after me. I just came back home from Ikea and carry a heavy bag and a suitcase.
Upon seeing this, he says: “Wow, you’re amazing. Do you teach English here?”
I reply: “No, I work as a graphic designer.”
“In which field?”
“Advertisement.”
“Oh wow, that’s amazing. This is my floor, see you around.”
“See you.”
Have you ever had a similar conversation?
