22 Unimpressive Things People Still Brag About
Recently, u/Turkishkebab1 asked r/AskReddit, "What's something people brag about that isn't impressive?" So we thought we'd share what people thought.
"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'."
"How much their car cost."
"Fighting, how fast they drive, that they haven't wasted time reading anything since high school."
"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."
H/T to u/Turkishkebab1 and r/AskReddit for having the discussion!
