I'm a high school teacher, and I pretend not to understand current slang so my students have to explain it to me. It's actually helped me build better relationships with them, and they feel smart teaching me something.

I've been pretending to understand cryptocurrency for the past 2 years in my tech job. Everyone thinks I'm an expert, but I still don't know what a blockchain actually is. 😅

I'm a barista, and I've memorized the regular customers' orders so well that I start making them when I see them parking their car. They think our service is incredibly fast, but really, I just enjoy making their day a little better.

Yesterday, I saw my neighbor's cat stuck in a tree. Instead of helping immediately, I waited 20 minutes just so I could pretend to be the hero who 'happened to pass by' at the right moment.

I'm a dentist, and whenever patients are nervous, I tell them dad jokes during procedures. They can't laugh with their mouth open, and watching them try not to laugh helps them forget their anxiety.

I secretly add vegetables to my roommate's smoothies because I'm worried about their eating habits. They've been complimenting how good their smoothies taste lately and have more energy. I feel both guilty and satisfied.

I'm a wedding DJ, and I keep a secret playlist of songs that have saved awkward reception moments. Like when family tension rises, I play the Chicken Dance - no one can stay angry while doing that dance.

I work at a movie theater, and I sometimes give free upgrades to people who are on first dates and seem nervous. There's nothing like seeing their confidence boost when they can impress their date with 'VIP seats'.

As a software developer, I once fixed a major bug by accidentally spilling coffee on my keyboard and having to restart my computer. I got a bonus for 'quick problem solving' and never told anyone the truth.
