A lot of the BS stories of some of the " ex special forces" guys and then they get called out on it. Those are classic moments of awkwardness.

Here is another one when filling out paper work and you need to write down your job, I put commercial diver. So when the person reads it they ask me, So how long have you been driving trucks? I get that every time! LOL

if someone asks and i dont feel like going into it: ship repair or heavy construction. that being said some of our guys were on a cruise ship job a while ago and managed to convince some of the staff that they were out of town traveling specialty pastry chefs, even got them to write up name tags and everything.
