22 Unimpressive Things People Still Brag About
"My uncle likes to brag that he got all the way through high school without learning how to read. Like, good job being kind of dumb, extremely stubborn, and having teachers that didn't give a single shit about you. Sick flex, big dog."
"Teachers that brag about how no one passes their class."
"How many hours they work. Hate seeing someone sacrifice their health for a company that most likely doesn't gaf about them."
"How little sleep you got the night before... Sleep is important, take care of yourself."
'I'm an alpha male.'
"I know a girl who brags about the money her boyfriend has and how he got her several Labubus."
"How much they drank."
"How much pot they smoke."
"How hot/spicy they can eat. I have a friend telling tales about how the Thai chef even came out of the kitchen to admire how hot this German guy could eat. Dude, there are Thai toddlers that eat more spicy food than you without thinking twice."
''I'm such an asshole' or 'I'm such a bitch'.'
"Being late all the time like it's part of their personality."
"Instagram followers."
"How much money people spend being 'high maintenance'."

"People they've met before. I don't care if you once shook Dustin Hoffman's hand."
"Going to work sick."
"Designer stuff. I have a coworker who loves her Prada eye glasses and wouldn't have bought them without a noticeable logo on the side. They look cheap because of the logo."
"Being born in or being 'from' any particular place. Hey, cool, that's not something you achieved."
"Packing light. I know people who will smugly boast about going on a two week holiday with only hand luggage. Like, good for you, personally I prefer to have a few changes of clothes when I travel."
"Cheating on a partner. It's not impressive, it's just showing you're an asshole."
"Driving a manual car. I learned when I was 12. Everyone I have taught has learned how to do it in about 45 minutes. It's not that hard. People just haven't had the opportunity to learn."

17 Bizarre House Rules People Were Made To Follow
Recently, u/Similar_Race_3031 asked r/AskReddit, "What's the most ridiculous 'house rule' you've ever had to follow when staying at someone else's place?" "You could not poop at their house. If you had to then you had to go home, but if you had to pee then it was fine... His dad screamed at one of our friends when we were in fourth grade for having to go unexpectedly and his house was like a 10 minute drive away..." "I had a friend whose father kept the Super Nintendo controllers in sandwich bags attached by twist-ties around the cord. All the remotes were in large Ziploc bags. You could press the buttons through the bag, but it was just weird. So anything handheld and electronic was basically in a makeshift condom." "No opening the windows. Ever. They bred dogs and you can just imagine how that house smelled." "Friends dad was a nuclear engineer, so they were not broke. They mandated one single four ounce glass of orange juice for breakfast, no other drinks, no refills." "When I was a kid, I visited a friend whose mother banned us from having a favourite or a least favourite colour pencil. She thought that strong preferences and opinions would ruin her kid's vibe. Naturally, her child was the most opinionated six-year-old in my first grade class." "'You have to eat everything on your plate and you have to sit there until you do'. I was not hungry, I very politely said I didn't want any food, I didn't like anything they were serving... Got punished for not eating cold Kraft macaroni and tuna." "I wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom after I went to bed. The bathroom was attached to the parent's room and they didn't want me to wake them up, I guess. I ended up peeing in the plant in the living room." "'You can't use the fridge after 10pm, it wakes the cat.' I'm not even joking." "No drinks with dinner. You could have a glass of water after... but not during the meal. Never did figure out the reason for that one." "The kitchen was purely decorative and couldn't be used. No noise was to be made after six pm. Everyone brought their own individual toilet paper to the bathroom – the roll on the wall was the homeowners' and was not to be used. Oh, and pay no attention to the male homeowner wandering around naked. He does that. My friend was renting a room there. I visited for a couple nights and boy, I've never been happier to get on a flight home. If I'd known what I was getting into I would have shelled out for a hotel, even with the city prices in my early 20s." "My spouse used to go to game nights as a friend's place and the wife made them all pee outside. He would always make sure to use the bathroom before he left because he never felt comfortable peeing in their backyard. Everyone also made sure to poop before going over there. If they had to poo, they had to leave early or go home momentarily or maybe bury it? I have no idea really." "Not a house rule, but was staying with gf's sister and husband in their house during the pandemic, and her husband had an issue with me wishing him good morning. He told his wife who told her sister who thought it was ridiculous, but I was happy to ignore him more." "When I was in middle school, my neighbour invited me and her other friend to sleep over. Her mother allowed it, despite having a job interview the next day. Well, of course, we were giggling and talking and woke her mother up (it was a small apartment). Her mother absolutely flipped her lid and forced all three of us to write lines as punishment. "I was sleeping over and I (overweight) wasn't allowed to sleep on their couch because I 'would definitely leave a permanent dent in it' – so I had to sleep on the carpet." "You had to announce if you had to poop and the rooms didn't have doors, they had those weird beads. This was the same household." "Don't use the light switches after 10pm because the click noise wakes up others." "My husband's best friend when he was younger had a house rule: guests bathe first, then eldest kid, next eldest, etc. Oh, they shared bath water. So the guest or eldest got the clean bath and everyone else bathed in the same water. No, I'm not joking." H/T to u/Similar_Race_3031 and r/AskReddit for having the discussion!

Plane makes emergency landing after flames shoot from engine: Watch
A flight bound for Germany made an emergency landing in Italy after airline officials reported a pilot was forced to cut the engine. Condor Airlines flight DE3665 from Corfu, Greece bound for Dusseldorf departed Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport at 8:19 p.m. local time on Saturday, Aug. 16, according to information from Flight Aware, which tracks flight paths. Video provided by Reuters shows a series of sparks coming from the Boeing 757 after taking off. According to local media outlets, including German paper Die Welt and The Daily Mail, passengers saw flames shooting from one of the plane's engines midair. The plane landed in Italy's coastal city of Brindisi at 8:30 p.m. local time, data from FlightAware shows. No injuries were reported. See sparks coming plane engine shortly after takeoff Where to see northern lights tonight: These states could catch a glimpse. Condor flight from Greece experiences engine 'disturbance' According to a statement to USA TODAY on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the flight crew received a message indicating "a parameter indication outside the normal range caused by a disturbance in the air flow supply to the engine." "What happened was a reaction near the engine that normally takes place in the engine's combustion chamber leading to a visible reaction at the rear of the engine," Condor Airlines said. The engine was shut down "in a controlled manner" before landing in Italy, the airline said, and another aircraft completed the route to Dusseldorf on Sunday, Aug. 17. "Due to the fault message, it was precautionarily decided to divert to Brindisi. This posed no danger to the guests or crew members at any time," Condor Airlines said. "We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but the safety of our passengers and employees is always our top priority." Natalie Neysa Alund is a senior reporter for USA TODAY.
