What is it about people that makes them, after learning you're writing, incapable of not saying "oh, you should put ME in your book!"

No writer wants to hear this, somehow despite this I've heard it too many damn times, and if you ever think this is a good idea to say in a conversation with a writer: please do not

#this and unsolicited advice from ppl who do not and have never written #I was just trying to write down a list of usable names #and after coworker asks what I'm doing he thinks it'd be useful to recite every James Bond innuendo name he can remember #even after I was like haha I'm good I'm not really looking for joke names #if u don't have the courtesy to even ask what fuckin GENRE I'm working with u do not get to suggest shit #it's been so long since I've worked on anything while I'm around folks who don't write
