Asking certain questions

Asking "what do you do" is a common American icebreaker, but is often considered insulting, especially in countries with social-welfare systems, like the Netherlands, where people feel that it's a way of pigeonholing them, and of being classist. You might as well just ask someone you just met what their salary is.
