    FIRST! And I trust my mechanic because its my husband haha

    • vmp says:

      mechanics ftmfw! the only reason why people don’t like mechanics is because they can never fully grasp the reality that they bought their car brand new for $30,000… but get upset when they need to do a $100 service for it. kthnxbai.

    • zinger says:

      first to be a d-bag!!

  2. pol says:

    Homeless person is an occupation ??
    LOL haha um… FAIL

    • Jesse Maison says:

      It’s an occupation the same way ‘housewife’,'student’,'retired’ or ‘basement dweller’ is an occupation. It may not be a job, but it’s the role you occupy in life.

      • Adfirmus says:

        WIN!

      • slythwolf says:

        Homelessness does not mean you don’t have a job. There are high school teachers living in shelters in California because they only make $9 an hour.

      • Leanna says:

        Since when is housewife and basement dweller on the same level. Oh wait, you must think housewives sit around all day and play WoW, while their husbands dutifully go to work to support them and their sense of masculinity? Cute.

        • Lianaloo says:

          are you my sister beacause her name is ariels and when she was little my mom called her arie and arie warie woo and putunia

    • RJ says:

      Alot of people actually portray homeless people on the streets then go home and make a nice amount of cash actually.

      Understanding of scams fail.

  3. Jacob says:

    Where is PETA Spokesperson?

    • Farris says:

      My theory is that the bounds of the graph wouldn’t allow for a negative trust level, so PETA Spokesperson was omitted.

    • J Dilla says:

      PETA rocks! (quit hating on people trying to make the world a better place)

      • Lunah says:

        We aren’t hating on the people that make the world a better place.

        We’re hating on the idiots that harass innocent folks and achieve NOTHING, then go home and pat themselves on the backs for making fools of themselves and THINKING they’ve accomplished something, when in reality they haven’t.
        :D

        As you can tell, I really hate PETA.

      • Google it says:

        Maybe you should go and check out all the information PETA gives out as fact for yourself. You know, instead of being a gullible twat that blindly believes all that they say.

        Or you can keep getting free stickers in the mail and go to bed feeling proud of yourself.

  4. Marion the ... says:

    What? No librarians? We get at least 75%, don’t we?

  5. CAPM says:

    What about stockbrokers? Catholic Priests?

  6. Scot Z says:

    If you wanted to do a negative Y-axis, you could add car salesman and politician.

  7. tex says:

    why is the engineer at 25%? I’m offended >:(

    • X says:

      Me too! You can trust engineers. Heck, most projects have to pull the engineers kicking and screaming away because we’ll sit there and optimize and improve forever.

      All product defects are management’s fault. :-)

  8. miris says:

    No Lawyers at 0% (or possibly on a negative y axis) ??

  9. Optimus says:

    You got Doctor and Engineer backwards.

    Lawyers are on the imaginary (i) axis. They are worse than negative trust: they are the square root of negative trust. That’s why they are not displayed.

    • X says:

      This one would work better on a Smith chart. :-)

      The engineers will get that one.

      • Homer says:

        I am not sure the average Graph Jam user could even comprehend a Smith Chart (yes, I include myself as an “average user” and I needed to use Google to find out what the hell that is)

  10. Russ says:

    Much of the same reason I learned computers, I also learned how to work on cars. I don’t trust any mechanics, especially the ones that make a living on oil changes.

    • HellHathNoFury says:

      Heeey, I trust my mechanic! only because my mechanic is me! Well, there was that one time my mechanic lost half the tools ‘she’ was using in the engine compartment, shortly after a bottle of Captain Morgan’s mysteriously disappeared. And then she had to backtrack her trip to the store to pick up said tools which rattled loose on the way….

  11. LHLD says:

    my brother is a mechanic… i trust him more than my doctors, who never know wtf is wrong.

    • Mae says:

      My dad’s mine.

      My boyfriends a mechanic for the Marines…

      My brothers are all able to become mechanics if their own jobs fall through (one is actually, and another manages a shop)

      So I agree… I trust them better than most doctors.

  12. Kabuki says:

    I’d like to think that my family’s shop is the exception here. It’s sad that so few bad shops can cost an entire profession its good name.

  13. London says:

    Homeless person is an occupation?

  14. Jefoid says:

    Sorry, engineer is the only one above 25%. Doctors can’t be trusted once HMO’s get finished with them; unions insist on saving horrible teachers and preventing any kind of testing, and auto mechanics are con-men from day one. Homeless, meh, maybe 20%.

  15. geor says:

    Hmm, maybe they meant engineer with doctorate, then engineering professor ect.

  16. Fexs says:

    Politician -25

  17. HistoryMaker says:

    I work in a hospatal
    Doctor should be a lot less then 75%

    In never had a reason to trust or not trust
    an Engeneer.

  18. Emily says:

    National surveys show that nurses are more trusted then doctors, and the profession as a whole is viewed more positively.

  19. Shancery says:

    Well played Sir Graph Maker

  20. Kinseth says:

    I don’t trust doctors that much. I hear there’s a shortage of professors at medical schools. I’d trust an engineer way more than a doctor.

  21. JM says:

    I’d put a homeless person far lower…

  22. Cowlifornia says:

    i don’t trust ANYONE until i have been around them for a while.
    i would like to think that people can trust me to diagnose and repair their car correctly. but since i do not talk to the customer (the service writer does that) things happen. most common: i write down ‘car needs -insert part here-, part is damaged, worn out ect.’ ‘looking over car, i believe it could use -insert service here-. but these extra services are not needed to repair concern’

    the service writer will often go and say you NEED all services to repair the problem. or better yet, tell the customer a made up lie to get more money!

    someday… i will find an honest place to work… but i bet i wont find it in cowlifornia.

    • sidka says:

      The mechanic’s job is to diagnose and repair, the serviceman’s job is to make sure the shop turns the best profit possible.

      It all depends on where you go. I like to stick to my favorite hole-in-the-wall place to get my regular maintenance done, and if they spot something out of the ordinary, I see what my mechanic friend thinks about it before anything else. About 90% of the time, he can fix it and will only charge me what he pays for the parts. The other 10%, he can tell me exactly what needs to be done and if the shop’s estimate was grossly overpaying (usually not, except on one occasion).

      You just need to find the set of people you can trust, not just the occupation.

  23. jonathan says:

    wheres ophra in this graph

  24. Sarah says:

    About the mechanic…this is why I suggest to people that they learn a thing or two about how cars operate, so they don’t get fooled into paying for “blinker fluid” or some of the other imaginary things I’ve heard people pay for.

  25. Daftareeno says:

    There should definetly be another graph for the lower trust categories, and BANKER shoud def be on the list!

  26. Ryan says:

    The above graph was clearly submitted by a doctor. The doctor was told by a teacher that he could drive his car more than 3000 miles between oil changes. The teacher heard from his engineer friend that some synthetic oils last significantly longer than 3000 miles in late model vehicles but did not pay attention to details because, just like teaching to a test, the result is more important than the process that leads to it. The engineer’s mechanic friend helped him learn some of the simpler regular vehicle maintenance procedures and recommended specific synthetic oils over conventional oils from a wealth of real-world experience.

  27. IfyMyJizzness? says:

    You just seriously dissed my daddy :(

  28. Doodypants says:

    People trust doctors. I mean if a doctor tells you you have a problem you don’t go do the research to see if he was lying. They say take a pill and we take it.
