Do people admit that they have tipped coffee in the printer?

You'd be surprised at what people admit to. A significant proportion of cases for canceling policies/declining claims is because people openly tell you stuff not sophisticated questioning techniques or voice stress analysis etc. 

Unfortunately they seem to have a bad memory of what lies they said when taking the policy out etc but then give the truth in the casual conversation at claim stage.

OP, it's the job type they are interested in, not what your employer calls you. It's part of the risk profile, even if you don't use your car for work. Given you are visiting clients at various locations, you would automatically be out and about driving more than say a receptionist. Like others, my job is never listed, so I go for the nearest. I happen to do a specific, and legally protected in name job, that less than 1,000 people in the country do, but there are a few similar, so I pick one of them. Not been an issue in over 30 years.

If you use your car for work - don't forget business use cover, and you may need more than that if you are carrying equipment.
