Putting in a hard days work when you are sick. Now you just made the whole office sick. F**k you
“I’ve never changed a diaper” - from a s****y dad
Drinking black coffee. Ex-barista here, who’s seen a million people coming in boasting that they don’t drink that other cp, they drink REAL coffee.Nobody gives a fk Brian
Alpha male garbage
Working insane hours. “You only worked 60 hours this week? That’s cute. I work 100 hour weeks every week and I never take holidays.“That just…sounds terrible.
Buying “luxury” brands with gigantic logos all over it
Having not read a single book since middle school
Having massive muscles after steroids. Like, I mean, you aware you cheated, right?
Cracking hilarious jokes about how badly someone sucks, when the someone is your spouse.
Claiming to be:* an alpha male* a nice guy* not like other girls* politically incorrect* being honest
Rich kids trying to flex their parents wealth
How much alcohol they can drink
Never taking your pto
Buying the latest iPhone every year.

I know all about this because my dad is an expert in that field.” My wife is a physician and I’ve learned a ton about medical stuff. But I’d never pass it off as my own knowledge. I can only repeat what I’ve heard.

Bragging about felonies or run-ins with the law
When I was 21, the friends group I was hanging out with were all broke college kids (just like I was).There was a girl that would come over to the party house often, and she would brag about what she bought at the mall that day (usually clothes).Then she proceeded to brag about how she had racked up 10k in credit card debt like it was some sort of achievement.
How high someones bodycount is
Driving an obnoxiously large and unbearably loud vehicle. You think you are a patriot that doesn’t bend to authority but everyone else thinks you are insecure, unintelligent, compensating for something, impulsive, and most of all, swimming in debt.
Having the American Express Platinum credit card. It’s just a credit card with competitive rewards and a high annual fee.It doesn’t signify that you’re rich or in “the club”
