Just try not to make things worse.

1. “I’m sure things will pick up when you get another job.”

2. “My roommate is unemployed. Are you two the same person?”

3. “It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Most dogs don’t have jobs either.”

4. “I just bought skis with my work money!”

5. “You should do what I do: Every day before I leave the house, I make sure I have a job.”

6. “Your garage is on fire and will need extensive repairs.”

7. “My young professional son Charbon is looking for an intern!”

8. “With all of that time on your hands, you must have so many jars!”
