If you’re extremely proud of an accomplishment, by all means, post about it on social media and inform your friends so they can celebrate you. But there is a time and a place for bragging, and if you feel the impulse to boast about how rarely you change your child’s diaper, you might want to think long and hard before sharing that information.

Redditors have recently been calling out the most ridiculous and obnoxious things people brag about, so we’ve gathered some of their thoughts below. We’ll warn you right now that you might find this list infuriating, so good luck scrolling through and be sure to upvote the things that really aren’t the flexes people think they are!

Being willfully unvaccinated because they “do their own research” and “don’t follow the sheep.” Yeah, congrats for being gullible and easily manipulated by online b******t.

If you haven't changed a diaper, you're not a Dad. You're a divorce waiting to happen.

35 People Call Out The Stupidest Things They’ve Ever Heard People Brag About Never having read a book / not having read a book since they left school.

That's just **not** an achievement - at all. It's not hard to do - and there is no good in not doing it. I wouldn't say people who read are necessarily more educated, but apart from the chance to educate you it is simply another hobby. I've never seen anyone brag "Oh I haven't visited a theater since school" or "I haven't done archery since we had it in school!". It's just nothing to brag about.

35 People Call Out The Stupidest Things They’ve Ever Heard People Brag About Anyone who brags about something they didn’t earn.

- nice home but live with parents. Don’t brag. You did nothing to own / deserve it.
- high paying job in family business. Don’t brag. You did nothing to own / deserve it.
- “things” like clothing, jewelry, watches, cars etc that were gifted by parents / family. Don’t brag. You did nothing to own / deserve.

Too many coddled kids who piggyback their parents hard work via deflected ownership.

Winning the lucky sperm lottery is no reason to brag.

Hmm high paying job in a family business doesn't preclude someone working hard to earn it. Sure they have a leg up, but there are plenty of people who studied hard and then worked their way up just like anyone else.

Ah yes, the good old "But Steve Jobs / Bill Gates dropped out of college and became super rich and successful." This is true, but consider the numbers - there are 7 billion people on this planet, but only ONE Steve Jobs / Bill Gates. The odds of you becoming the next one are very, very, very low.

At the same time, in popular culture such as movies and series, it is accepted to make jokes about vegans and their "tasteless" food and thus spread a negative image through "humor". I've never force-fed my ideology, but someone always has to criticize my choices and brag about being a class A carnivore. Just thank you Jeff for telling me how you love steak and hate salad eaters. And now I wanted to eat my "pathetic" office lunch in peace.

The three subjects you aren't supposed to discuss in polite company are: politics, religion and money. One of my pet hates is listening to someone go on about how much they made this month, quarter, year, as if that somehow makes them better than you if you aren't as rich.
