Human beings are strange. There’s no explaining why they do the things they do sometimes, and there’s really no understanding why some people think things are cool and brag-worthy that definitely are not.
That said, we all know it happens. We’ve all had that awkward moment when someone tells us something that sounds like a flex, except…it’s really nothing to be proud of.
Here are 17 weird things people love to flex on, and even though we might never understand it, we can still laugh about it.
17. Time to move on, my friend.
How good of an athlete they were in high school.
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?… Yeah… Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would’ve been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.
16. You’re not better than they are.
People who brag about mistreating service workers just bring my piss to a boil. Every time I hear someone chest puffing and bragging about how they told off some McDonald’s worker it makes me wish they’d take a f*cking blender to the face.
Even if you are in the right and a mistake was made you don’t get to treat some minimum wage food service worker like a f*cking slave to be owned or abused. Mistakes happen. You didn’t lose a fucking kidney. Be a civil human being and respect one another.
We’re all human.
15. Yeah I don’t want any of that.
As a woman I absolutely cannot stand when a woman brags that she is a “Bad Bitch.” Mostly because the only women that I’ve ever heard brag about that are usually super loud, obnoxious, and have really abrasive and unapproachable personalities.
I think it can be a wonderful thing to feel like a strong and confident woman, but if you define being strong and confident by being rude and a bully then you’re not a “Bad Bitch” you’re a bad person.
14. Hipsters, man.
When someone brags about liking a group or artist “before they were cool” even though they had 200k+ followers.
13. Just let people be happy.
How they’re not into whatever is popular, and that somehow makes them better.
I was one of those people. I missed out on some fun things that I’m just now getting into.
12. Definitely not something to be proud of.
Being an a**hole.
I never understood the appeal of being a self proclaimed asshole.
11. A short list.
How much they spent on something
How little sleep they got
How many hours they worked
How they don’t read
How they put a customer service worker in their place // Also just general bragging about how mean they are
10. I mean I’m kind of interested.
How many bananas they can eat in one sitting.
9. Dumb is one word for it.
how drunk/high they are, while at the same time bragging how much they can drink/smoke…
Individually it is already pretty dumb but in combination it gets really ridiculous
i was that person once…and quite long even after my teens were over, looking back i ask myself why and how i kept it up for so long
8. Or not.
I used to know a guy who would brag about all the girls he slept with behind his girlfriend’s back. Congrats on the STDs and complete lack of the concept of commitment I guess.
7. Because that’s an accomplishment.
Being tall.
When you’re in the 6th grade, it’s cool. When you’re 35, it just means you can’t find pants that fit quite right.
6. His is the only one.
I had a colleague that would always mention how their truck has 4-wheel drive. As if no other car does.
5. That’s not even a good story!
Fights they got in when they were younger. Most of them aren’t even captivating at all.
4. So many problems with this.
mental issues???? like ive known people to literally fake mental problems cause they think its cute or quirky or something. its not something people should want to have. it ruins your life. pls stop.
Because of those people it makes it difficult to say you have mental health problems without making it seem like you’re looking for attention.
3. Gifted isn’t exceptional.
“I was a gifted student”…at one of the 100k+ public schools in the US, that all had classes full of “Gifted” students.
2. Learn something new, my friend.
I’ve got two that bother me. The “I don’t know anything about computers!” people, and the “I never read!” people.
I work in IT and I have legitimately had to teach an adult how to use a mouse. A gorram store manager, who needs to use the computer probably about 65% of his day. Don’t brag about never updating your skills to keep up with your industry. He only lasted a month before they fired him for being incompetent.
And the “I never read” people drive me nuts, because I read as often as I can, and they often interrupt me while I’m reading on my break just to brag about how they never read. Shut up and leave me alone, I’m busy.
1. But sometimes impossible.
Moms that brag about how they haven’t showered or taken care of themselves in days because of the kids.
Self care is important and necessary.
You’ve just got to love people, right?
