Me, when learning what they do for work and they’re a mechanical engineer working on rocket thrusters for weapons, and “business is really good right now so I can’t complain”

If I can’t escape the conversation at that point, I just see if I can work in all of the names of the seven dwarves to entertain myself.

“Just thinking about that makes me Sleepy…” etc.

They won’t notice if it’s done well and even if they do notice, what are they gonna do?

Sometimes for the pettiest reason imaginable.
