You know them people who go on and on about their endless accomplishments? Like how just last week they got to the top of Mt. Everest on a unicycle or how they got up early to slay the honey badger that's been trampling on their immaculately kept posies in the garden using only their bare hands?
"Oh yes, I've just back from doing the three peak challenge with pneumonia and a broken leg, but I'm still battling on! What have you recently accomplished?"
Did you really? That's nothing, I got out of bed on time this morning? I think I win.
These people are obnoxious. They thrive on being better than us normal people.
"I just caught a serial killer using my dashing good looks and my cunning intelligence."
Oh did you? Well I just beat my sister at a game of cludeo so I think we're on a Parr.
I don't mind achievement, don't get me wrong, but endless bragging? There's only so many times your acquaintances can say, "Oh really? Well Done" when you put their lives to shame during a casual conversation so if you're one of these people, GET OVER YOURSELF!
Climb Mount Everest if you wish, I don't care, but I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!
Yours, an annoyed Awkward Donkey.
Just to let you know, while you were away, my views surpassed yours. :D Also, what's with all the name changes?
