I can sort of understand why that sentiment exists actually, especially when you sit with check captains with not only 4 bars but also a star to emphasise their importance. But outside of aviation...nope. I make up stories on my occupation so as not to receive comments on a passenger's bad landing or how easy flying must be with ap on all day.
I can't wait to get out of my uncomfortable uniform.
It's good you feel proud. You should be, but there's no need to gloat to every person you come across.
