Reddit user algebra_lover asked: 'What is the stupidest thing people brag about?'

It's never attractive to gloat.

Even if someone is incredibly skilled at something, or accomplished something incredibly impressive, it's better for others to commend their accomplishment, rather than doing so themselves.

The only thing that can make gloating and arrogance even less attractive is if they're bragging about something that isn't even that impressive to begin with.

Even so, some people simply can't help but boast and congratulate themselves, even whether or not the thing that is making their head grow with impressive speed isn't remotely worth congratulating.


Redditor algebra_lover was eager to hear about the most ludicrous things they've had to endure people boasting about, leading them to ask:
"What is the stupidest thing people brag about?"

Monogamy Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

"Sometime over the last decade or so, people started using the term "body count" for their cumulative number of lifetime sex partners."

"Unless you're doing it with all of them concurrently, I am not impressed." -Reddit

A Well Rested Soul Is A Happy One...

"The only time I care if you lack sleep is if you’re heading to Brooklyn." - _Goose_

Be Proud Of Who You Are, But...

"Guys who brag about being 'built different'."

"Sure dude."

"You have a beard, a 'full sleeve' tattoo, and a pickup truck."

"You’re so different." - someguy192838

A "Real Man" Never Needs To Prove Himself...

"Being an 'alpha'."

"Sorry homeboys, if you feel the need to announce it, you ain't it... and you know that." - Prudii_Skirata

Some people simply need to be the center of attention.

Even if the attention gained isn't exactly wanted.

As proud as one might be of their accomplishments though, it's always a good idea to wait for others to congratulate you, before congratulating yourself.

Someone Flew A 'Trump Country' Banner Over Bernie And AOC's Packed Rally—And AOC Clapped Back Hard

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had the perfect response after one of President Donald Trump's supporters flew a banner reading "Folsom Is Trump Country" over a Northern California rally she held with her colleague, Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders.

She brushed off a warning that they were entering “Trump country” as the crowd swelled in deep-red Folsom, a Republican stronghold nestled in Representative Kevin Kiley’s district. Just to drive the point home, a small plane buzzed above the rally, trailing a banner in bold red letters: “Folsom Is Trump Country.”

MAGA Senator Gets An Earful From Angry Constituents During Iowa Town Hall—And It's Pure Fire

Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley was criticized by his "pissed" constituents during a town hall in Fort Madison this week who demanded why he hasn’t taken stronger action to hold President Donald Trump and his administration accountable as tensions escalate with the Supreme Court.

Those in attendance were galvanized by the Trump administration’s refusal to comply with a unanimous Supreme Court order instructing the White House to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador known for its reputation for torture.
