Or, even embarrassing. They thought they were impressing people, but instead many people were critical.

How many people you’ve “slept with.” Nothing to brag about, especially since those who brag on that are typically lying, extremely exaggerating the real number.
People who have two houses and brag about it constantly. Obviously, many people do have two but it’s the bragging that’s annoying.
No @Acrylic I’m sure the number is 253. I kept a list.
JUST KIDDING!
Person, woman, man, camera, TV – “They said nobody gets it in order. It’s actually not that easy. But for me it was easy. And that’s not an easy question,”
He didn’t brag it to me personally. He bragged it to the world. Oy!
How “big” they are. Like I want to know that and as if I even want it like that. ewwww
I estimate that I’m probably in the top 80 percentile of competitive canoe paddlers (age class 70–75). I’m able to beat a lot of much younger canoe paddlers in races. When competing among the best canoe paddlers in the world in my age class, I’m just mediocre.
Yet people keep telling me overblown comments like: “you’re my hero”, “you’re amazing, and inspiring “. Also, “I want to be just like you”.
Makes me feel so uncomfortable. Don’t know what to say. I think, “Oh please just go away”. In my mind my abilities are never good enough. I’m never satisfied with any result. This pushes me to keep working hard to reach lofty goals.
Bragging about their normal kids. We get it, you love them, but unless they are above-average or extraordinary, it’s hard to feign interest.
@gondwanalon. Did you mean top 80th or top 20%? I wasn’t clear what you were bragging about.
I had a relative who in her 40’s bragged about her dad helping her with expenses for her kids. She thought it was impressive and brag worthy that her dad was so helpful. She was always comparing her dad to her exhusband on this front. Her exhusband was no deadbeat, but he did draw lines at what he felt was wasteful spending.
Most people I know are embarrassed their parents need to still help them. To me that’s totally different than parents who choose to buy gifts or give cash gifts to their adult children and grandchildren not out of necessity, but just out of generosity or love.
@janbb Are you being sarcastic re @gondwanalon?
“Are you feeling that one drink already?! Sheesh! What a light-weight! I can drink 6 of ‘em and not feel it!”
And I’m willing to bet money, relationship, and liver problems are in your future.
@janbb 80th percentile means top 20%. I was just answering the question.

Sorry about that- I forgot that Top’s had a bar. ;p
However, I’ll always be proud of my Corona Crown and my Guzzling Gold Medal! ;-D
Guys who brag about how great they fare with women. Usually an indication of a small appendage, a big ego, and a complete lack of class.
@canidmajor No. I don’t need to brag. What I’m saying is that what I do is NOT brag worthy.
Being from Texas. I’ve met countless Texans who manage to slip that bit of information into our first few minutes of conversation.
Of course, this generalization doesn’t apply to everyone from Texas. But, so many Texans seem to be inordinately proud of where they were born and raised. It must be deeply ingrained in personal identity, and it’s often one of the first things shared.
@Brian1946 If that discussion were to occur at Tops it would be about about glasses of water or mugs of coffee. Either way, one is enough.
The former makes me pee. The latter makes me pee and keeps me awake.
@Dutchess_III What? During all these years, you’ve never PM’d me to share that information?
I’ve heard guys brag about their cars. It’s just a car, anyone with money or good credit can buy one.
@Dig_Dug Guilty as charged. Years ago though. My dad had a bad ass Mustang Mach one that could pass anything on the road but gas station. Used to let me use it any time I wanted to. Until I messed it up racing some fool one night. No more. Mom got on to him and said I would kill myself because it was too much car for me. Said he enabled it for letting me drive it. They were on the same page on that issue so that was the end of that. Lol
@NoMore I’m glad they did that or you may not be with us right now. I’m sure you weren’t too happy about it then but things turned out for the better now. :)
I just read that Einstein was very proud of himself, for never wearing socks.
