People at my new job keep asking me this – mostly married straights with kids – and I hate it. Uh, sit on my ass, jerk off, descend into the never-ending abyss of the internet? How do you all answer this question?
What do you do outside of work?

It seems like a weird question. I’m not going to tell my co workers about my weekend hookups and the quality films I watch.

In my 35 year career a direct question like that has never come up on the job or during a job interview. I has come up organically in conversation and I have many varied interests I can talk about. If I didn’t I would make up a boilerplate response on some esoteric interest that would not encourage further questions.

Tell them you spend time in a nearby city to get away from it all, and even better if you have family there. If you have any elderly family members say you spend time helping them out

I have a stock answer: “my partner owns his own medical practice and we don’t have kids. So we try to travel when school is in to miss the crowds”
I’m gay, childless, but coupled. And we have a life which will mean time out of the office.

I just tell them that I work at that pizza place in Washington that harbors young children as sex slaves, you know, the one that is part of a child-abuse ring led by Hillary. But I make it abundantly clear that I just work in the kitchen and only make pizzas. There is no further discussion.

If I told them the truth it would be this. "I spend a lot of time on the internet watching gay porn, cruising hookup apps and reading gay message boards. Usually I do at least one thing with friends or family. I am single and over 50 so not a lot excites me anymore. Oh and sometimes I drink alone to not worry so much "

I hate that fraus and Karens around me seem not to understand that some introverted ppl who are single - like me - could not care less about their boring endless weekend stories, nor share whatever I have done on my free time.
My usual response is that I read and rested.
The end.

Not in a cunty way, but I don't like to share a huge amount of my personal life at work - I really prefer to keep them separate as much as possible. So I rarely discuss things I've done or I'm planning to do, even with the people I work closely with. I think an exception might be the odd conversation about a film or TV show that everyone is talking about and I will chip in with my opinion if I've seen it, but beyond that I don't really offer information unless I'm specifically asked in which case I will be pretty vague. It's just not relevant - there is no need for them to know and I don't care what they do outside of work either.
