I have no idea what you do for work, but Im going to guess it's not what I do. How would you feel if i came over to your desk and started booing and heckling (this reminds me of Seinfeld now) what you do without knowing anything about your occupation? Wouldn't you want to tell me to fata off and mind my own business because I don't know what I'm talking about?
Buildings are more public than most occupational results and of course invite comment, but the fact that people become insta-architects when they see a building is laughable. There is a level of disrespect towards design in general that needs to stop. I don't pretend to know how to drill an oil well or engineer machinery, so why do people pretend that they know how to design a building.
