What dumb things do people say when you tell them you're a writer?

It might be my age, but most people, if they find out, act impressed. Most of my friends/family don't know, as I don't want them to feel obligated to buy them. I have one old friend who feels it's necessary to explain, every time we talk, why she's not bought one. I've told her it's fine, but I did buy the CD she put out, so maybe it's guilt. 🤷
