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!

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.

- “things” like clothing, jewelry, watches, cars etc that were gifted by parents / family. Don’t brag. You did nothing to own / deserve.

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.

I was once told off for not having liked Muse as long as a colleauge, apparently she was a better/stronger fan because she was older than me and therefore claimed to have liked them much longer, making my liking their music insignificant and annoying. I've got a news for you... they have millions of fans and you are just a speck or a blip in the universe. 😅

My boomer mother likes to brag about how incredibly loyal she was to my dad, who she was married to for nearly 40 years until he passed away. He was more often than not cold and disrespectful to her. His *own mother* would often tell him to be nicer to her. I remember witnessing her breaking down and crying in front of us because of how he would treat her.

And she wonders why I’ve had s****y relationships with men throughout the years.

This is probably how your mother justifies to herself that she accepted being mistreated and abused by her husband for so many years; at least she was the better person, and kept her morals. I wouldn't get annoyed with this, I'd feel very sorry for her. Buy your mum some flowers and take her out for a meal. Fix somehing around the house. Be kind to her. She has to live with what she allowed herself to be put through. At least she inadvertently taught you how it should NOT be.
