Social Science Braggers

[Peck]

Have you met any of these people that are just incessant braggers?

I have a friend - who I don't actually like. Who constantly brags, although I believe he is lying about 90% of the time. The other day he comes on facebook telling me he got numbers from "7 HOT girls" in half an hour or something, claiming it was some huge feat. While this is probably quite possible, coming from him, I could never believe it.

I also remember talking to a bartender, who proceeded to tell me and my friend that he once woke up in a spa, having sex. An amusing anecdote yes, but also a clear brag.

Can't stand them.

Everything you say is just a slight pause before they talk about themselves again.

And there is nothing you have ever done that is even remotely close to how awesome existence is.

And if you have done something that is really great they did it also but with a triple somersault over a pit of lions to finish it off.

I have a mate in another state who brags constantly about situations he wasn't in and bands he hasn't seen to chicks who don't know better.

It's humorous to catch people like this out.

My mate's wife is a story topper and personally that annoys the living shit out of me

Name droppers are worse. Theres a girl my wife went to school with who we may see once a year who is a serial name dropper. Her family is friends with Tyson Edwards so all you hear about is Tyse this, Tyse that. "Oh my god, you know how I know Tyson Edwards.....yep....well yesterday he popped round and I had a drink with him and we were talking about his issues with Andy and...oh you wouldnt believe who I spoke to on Saturday night....Matthew Pavlich was at the Exchance and we..."

Just. ****. Off.

 

[kwame]

i love braggers that excessively exaggerate...if you are going to lie at least make sure it`s believable

 

[nicky]

I don't mind braggers at all, they can be excellent value. I do not share the offence they impose on other people.

There is a guy at my work who is the biggest bragger and name dropper I've met. I actually really like him and see past this tendency he has.

Every now and then in the company of someone else who works with him, i will do a recap of his achievements over a glass of wine. Fun times.

 

[yeah_nah]

I have a mate who brags about his sex life all the ****ing time, always to me more than anyone else... I don't really know why either, I have a girlfriend and get teh sechs way more often than he does.

One of the most bazaar things he has bragged about was when we were in year 11 - we were at a party and he hooked up with this chick and I hooked up with her friend.

for about 2 weeks he was giving me shit because I hooked up with the uglier friend out of the two. Which is true, but I had macked the hotter friend a few months earlier anyway

Not to mention the fact that I did it to wingman my mate anyway.

Needless to say he was never wingmanned again.

I never brag, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS said it was one of my many excellent traits.

I know a couple of braggers and as much as they shit you, they can sometimes be fun to have around

Just listening to some of the things they come up with can be incredible. They really believe that you're so dumb you wont realise what theyre saying can easily be checked

About 80% of the braggers I've found are in cricket. For some reason this sport brings out the worst braggers. School cricket brought a lot of them out, telling stories of how many centuries and 10 wicket games theyve had with their club. For some reason they couldnt work out that even though many people played on different teams, we had a fair idea of who each other was and their ability, or we knew their team/people theyve played with who denied everying the bragger says. Plus dont they realise we are going to see how they play anyway?

Then moving into seniors the 3rds players who cant seem to crack the 2nds and 1st, which they obv cant believe because theyre so great avg 16 last season. Telling us every preseason how theyve gotten offers from all these other clubs offering money. But hey thanks for staying for free and having to work to keep your spot in the 3rds alive though

Then theres people you just know randomly who like to brag about how their fat pasty arms are so ripped because theyve been working out or how much money theyve got but still live broke or they put a beat down on somebody

I just dont get why? Do these people think we live behind closed doors and cant see the world around us, and dont develop our own opinions of them?

Before I got to this post I recollected the guy at my uni gym who had rolls of flab standing in front of me saying he can't work out too much because he gets too big.

You bastard. I came to post something something like that. Just because I had it ready: "I make it a habit to never brag. I think that that, my ability to run 100m in under 10 seconds, my 180 IQ, my 13 inch penis and my billion dollar bank account are some of my best qualities, or at least that's what Ricky Ponting and Jessica Alba tell me."

Pretty impressive for an earth-born, I might just add you to my intergalactic luncheon guest list.

Depends on the style of the brag/story topping. I do it on occasion when I'm trying to make conversation with a random/somebody I just met. Can't stand people who go out of their way to make themselves look better than everybody else in the room with blatant lies/bullshit.

I don't mind tall story tellers if they're good at what they do. I've got an uncle who has the presence and story telling ability to make me really wonder if a lot of seemingly unbelievable things have actually happened to him but he always has a good story to tell. By the same token I know a lot of people who just flat out lie to make themselves look good.

Bottom line: If you're going to make shit up make sure it's at least entertaining and believable.

You guys think you've met braggers? The braggers I know are the worst type of braggers...

To be fair, that's actually pretty awesome and it's more than fair enough if they were to brag about such a feat.

Jay: So I had one bent over the table here, there was one up here who I was fingering and I was just toe ****ing the one on the floor.
Will: So when do we get to meet these lucky ladies?
Jay: You can't, they've gone back to the playboy mansion.

Lol first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread title. Would love to have a friend like that.

I find with exaggerators that I keep asking questions to see how far they can dig without stuffing up. Sometimes it's embarrasing how far they go.

 

[sblack]

We have a guy we work with who brags about how much he drinks. Must think it impresses people. Will come in with 'the biggest hangover evaa' after drinking 'only 2 bottles of vodka and a bottle of jager'.

We laugh
