might as well say everything everyone boasts about is annoying, keh
No bragging about how big of a dump you just had? Anyway, I absolutely cannot deal with people who brag about their kids. To show 'em off is even worse. Same goes for money. Don't talk about it, don't show it off and I won't have to knock a bitch out.
You know which one you never see around here?
Number 8.
Because people who bothers to brag really aren't busy. There`s plenty of those around my school.
They have too much time to visit don't they?
I've haven't watched tv since a year ago.
I am miserable/no friends.
Also Fap!
I totally read that headline as "Top 10 Most Annoying Breasts." I know you intentionally paired that picture emphasizing breasts with that headline for that very reason. Damn Freudian slips.
i figured it was cuz the flat girl was envious of the other girl's larger breasts, going with the whole bragging theme. but w/e floats your boat.
I did the EXACT same thing.
I did the same thing too and didn't even realize it until I started reading the list and wondered what was going on
Boasting about your 2TB anime collection doesn't go over well either...
Only 2TB? I have more than 150TB. Hentai Anime & Games included,one third of each media. That is not much, i am not boasting.
I HAVE A MASSIVELY HARD COCK..
GO SEE A DOCTOR!
Sorry, most people don't consider rocks as cocks.
"6. They boast about their children"
Hughes, I'm looking at you.
I boast about lynching niggers.
Wow, I guess I should stop boasting about my money. But I thought women wanted to know that right off the bat. :l
well then what are we going to talk bout guys?
i got a lady fren who likes to show off her money...traveling here and there just to shoot photos.
traveling 3-4 times in a year is just ridiculous.
Sleep? Sex? What odd things to talk about.
But enough about that, let me tell you about that game I beat yesterday...
To me, number 10 is pretty common and damn it's pretty annoying. It's like a contest of who slept less last night. It's so stupid it's not even funny. As a side note, that looks nothing like Mio in the picture. The shade of her hair is completely messed up. Well, at least she has a moe expression, that much I approve.
Whoops, made a double post.
I only get to see people complaining to one another that they are miserable. It's obvious to friends that they have a good life, but they just keep on saying "I'm miserable, I'm miserable" blah blah blah
I must admit i boast in points 1,3,5,9 and 10.
I am not joking, i can be very abrasive to hear of these things, despite i am trying to joke it away.
I have to better my ways, or my loved friends will leave me.
3. They boast about how miserable they are
9. They boast about poor health
Wait...what!?
It's called self pity pride.
So that's what it's called. I never could figure out a specific name for it.
People in Japan only boast about penis size as a joke.
(i'm guilty of 10 a lot...)
And yet, they on average have pretty much the same size penis as Americans.
You're thinking of the Chinese and Koreans bro.
It is well known that international manufacturers of condoms have 6 standard sizes:
Japanese
Small
Medium
Large
American
Black
Have seen many small baby carrots in U.S. porn.
Many crooked ones, not to mention half-slack.
actually... its the japs that have small penis at least in the porn.
the whole asian small penis thing came from the Japan AV porn
Aw, no boasting over hentai sex?
well most of it, it's the common thing about what they can brag/complain...
including myself
but yeah, there's a lot ppl complain or brag to much
I just lol, when I heard ppl complain like they just having sleep for a.... 3-4hours while I haven't sleep for 3 days straight
there always clouds above the clouds
n there always something deeper than a sea
anyways.. I just need some good sleep.
g'night.
they are forgetting the penis size boasting .
I don't think the Japanese have much to boast about their penis size lol.
Hey, that's true. Don't rate this guy's comment down. The Japanese can't say much about their dongs.
To both of you: how do you know? Have you worked as prostitutes for men in Japan? How many of us gaijins really have so much to boast in that issue?
I believe different sizes are found in every country. And women say the important thing is how you use it you have got...
I hate people who has never suffered from any diseases...poor me.
:'(
Tell me, who here has never at least gotten chickenpox at least once in their childhood?
That's a disease right there.
I haven't. I took a vaccine for it before I was even one years old.
Sadly there's no vaccine for the cold. It changes too fast.
But you still catch a cold once in a while, don't you?
#6 should move to the top. Boy that drives me nuts all time. People who talk about their children non stop have nothing going on in their lives.
So boasting about intelligence is fine? Although I guess smart people manage to do it without pissing others off.
No, people who are smart know that they shouldn't boast about it nevertheless, because others would be annoyed by them.
A smart person who's not socially retarded, knows how to dumb themselves down to other people's level.
Acting smart all the time, even if it's not on purpose just rubs other people the wrong way. They'll think you're bragging even if you're not trying to.
That said, unless I'm dealing with someone professionally, I'll shut them down completely if they try to start a conversation with me about celebrities or reality tv shows. There's a limit to how far one can dumb themselves down...
Ugh, there are those annoying know-it-alls that try to act like they're an expert in one subject and completely ignore your opinion on it.
like amerikan fan girls.
intelligent people are not necesseraly nice (at all)
Not necessarily, there's this one guy I know who is a genius but though he's book smart, he's not smart socially. He pisses people off left and right because he'll brag about how smart he is or he'll say something less direct but equally annoying about his "superior" intelligence. Ugh.
No I think when the intelligent people are boasting, it goes a little more like this:
"Didn't you KNOW that was gonna happen"
instead of
"I wouldn't have been so stupid" <- insult
boasting isn't really worth it, because a week later you could lose everything anyway
According to that you can't talk about the most things...
Talking and boasting are very different things. If all you talk about is yourself then you need a personality upgrade.
Actually everything a person talks about has to do with the person that talks about it or the person wouldnt do it...
Even petty things make for good conversations. Like the deliciousness of the curry in that Indian restaurant (which can easily be expanded into a conversation on what makes a good curry or Indian Curry vs Anywhere else).
with that in mind that means nobody should talk about stuff they saw on T.V. because their bragging?
Well Ayu, I thin talking about oneself with a friend from time to time is OK; but there are a shitload of interesting things you can comment in a normal conversation withoug being boring. Just a suggestion of a few topics: current political events, new technologies and discoveries, events in economy and the market, etc, etc.
'has to do with' is different still
talking about non-personalised experiences and the world around you is different to saying 'oh, i have a sexy girlfriend... isb;t she sexy, bet you wish you had a girlfriend as awesome as mine'
iFashionFags
I boast of my heavy surround system & big Sony HDTV and my electric guitar & bass collection. Oh, i play too, despite owning Les Paul Standard similar to Yui`s in K-On!
I see 3, 9, and 10 here a lot.
I see alot of 1 and 6 too.
Money, expensive possessions and how much better you are then someone else is what is worth bragging about.
lolol I agree

Sad but true. I have an old friend who always brought up her "rape." I really don't believe her as she does not seem that emotionally effected. But that's fucked up to think that someone would do that just for attention.
Oshaikeuchi, rape is like the holy grail of attention whoring. A girl can milk that literally her entire life, for a never-ending supply of sympathy.
Not to downplay the seriousness of rape, but honestly, no one wants to hear about it. That's what a psychiatrist is for.
I know.
I just hate how some people even consider bragging about something like that. It's not right.
Oh well, I'm commenting at the lowest levels of the internet that is SanCon, I guess should really know by now that the world isn't nice and fluffy. :|
Whoa, Oshaikeuchi! We only got to know you one day ago in the forums, and you already manage to make a first post, which gets upvoted to infinity too! XD Way to go.
Anyway, I really agree with the discussion going on here. It's obvious some people boast about their misery so that they'll get some attention. Also, I aqlso used to have a classmate who used to boast about how she got raped when she was younger. It was annoying as fucking hell.
This makes me want to just tell people they're massive attention seekers when they say something like this. I think I'll do that, next time someone does it to me.
wat
Maybe the girls above enjoy being raped and are asking for it, or some sex, in their strange ways? I don`t understand their behavior, but i can`t boast about knowing too much of how women think. Who does?
Damn emo kids.

I know this dude that end up being proud of himself when he doesn't sleep or eat over a longer period of time. Then complain about getting sick and being miserable afterwards...
1. They boast about their success with the opposite sex
Hate that one.
For obvious reasons.
About being Otaku....
I guess so huh. lulz
I know a girl who pretty much boasts that she got raped when she was younger. Or.. so she says. Maybe she just wants attention. I don't know. I might believe her though if she wasn't boasting it all over the place.
I'd say most boasting is just to get attention
We also boast about being a lolicon and having 2D complex
“I have no friends.” - Sad, but true. What makes a friend anyway? People I know and hang out with? As the idealist I am, I can say I have no friends.
you're over thinking stuff... why hang out with people if you don't like their company?
Because that's what society expects of people.
People that drop you the moment you're in need of help, aren't friends.
That is indeed truth. Nowadays, we have company, and not a single one of them can be considered friends.
And that's why I'm proud of my friends. There's this one time I got into a car accident (albeit a minor one), and most of them showed up to see if I was ok (it was at night and we just finished spending the night out and they started wondering what was taking me so long).
Enter Metallica- Sad but true-ah
Guilty 5 in a subtle way
Are you sure you`re subtle? It took me some time until i realized that i wasn`t.
I have a hard dick...
if its like that all the time then you should probably see a doctor
Or a hooker...
All of SC ppl are my friends. (/^^) /

GTFO FAG
YAY! *hugs*

Uh...if they boast about this stuff all the time of course it's annoying (but if not, it's the complainer that's annoying).
How can you boast about things like poor health? Doesn't boast mean something like "beeing proud of"?
Some people crave attention to the point that they rely on things that you wouldn't normally consider being 'proud of' as a conversation point.
For example, 'I got NO sleep last night man, I'm so awesome I don't even need it.', or 'I've got a huge cut on my ballsack, it looks deadly.'
It can also be boasted as a Woe is Me, I suffer so much. Pity Me, Feel bad for Me, worry about Me, Me, Me.
I have a very close friend who does that sort of thing sometimes. She'll talk about how she's So busy she just so tired all the time and all that. I think she's just seeking validation, like she's awesome and works hard and she's trying to prove it by being whiny and pompous. When really we all work hard, long hours and we All get tired. It doesn't make you special, and you don't need to act like you are for me to give a damn about you.
But everyone has their issues.
Answer him to latter: "Do not worry, i will be in your funeral." Maybe he begins to discuss other, nicer things.
