I do this all the time. Then if it they don't have a job or they don't do anything that sounds like an exciting job to me I feel like an asshole for asking almost a second later even though I don't really care what they do in the first place. I don't want them to think I'm judging them so then I end up saying something that makes me even feel like more of an asshole.
But what the fuck can you say to a person you just met? Questions like those just pop out when you first meet someone.
When I go to like the dentist or a haircut lady where they feel they have to make small talk I just make stuff up to these sorts of questions. Like what are you doing for summer vacation? Oh, I'm going to travel Europe by bicycle with a couple of friends. (not!)
