I have a coworker who brags a lot about how much he drinks and how little he sleeps. Unsurprisingly, he's one of the worst at his job.
The wildest part was learning he was 6 years younger than me. I would have guessed he was 10 years older from how bad he looks.
Loud vehicles. What they think is cool is actually annoying everyone else.
A lot of them think it's cool specifically because it annoys other people. It's antisocial behavior.
“I just tell it like it is.”
Translation: you’re incredibly rude and hide behind “just being honest” so you don’t have to correct your problematic behavior
"I am just being blunt"
Translation: I'm actually an asshole that hides behind mental health issues to justify my shitty behavior and attitude.
As someone who is fairly physically active, flexes that risk people's health are especially irritating to me. Training to the point of injury or even through injury is not impressive; it's stupid.
Bad/illegal driving. You contribute to an unreasonably high crash rate to be 2 minutes faster, good job.
The thing that was drilled into me is to drive predictably. No sudden lane changes, stay in the fast lanes if you're going fast and slow lanes if you're going slow.
It drives me crazy to see people "swimming" in Interstate-speed traffic and I see people do it every day. It's just a matter of time until every single one of them wrecks, hopefully they don't hurt anyone else.
"I'm a quick thinker", "I think fast", "I act before thinking", and similar.
What the person is actually saying is that they're OK being a dead weight and a burden to the others, due to their poorly thought actions, because they're too lazy to think properly on things.
I read a job listing recently bragging about the company's AI usage by saying "One of our engineers hasn't hand-written a single line of code in 18 months"
Like okay dude...
It translates to: "One of our engineer has been stealing code from others without attribution, consent and/or compensation, and did license laundering to it, for 18 months".
Anything related to their genetics (height, skin/hair/eye color, ... etc) or inheritance.
Show me something you did, not something you're born with.
Making as much noise as possible at every fucking place and every fucking time. Even worse if you are a motorcyclist or a driver of a car, bus, or truck. Or when you're putting music non stop all day long, even late at night.
That and bragging about using AI. Like, seriously? Are bragging about destroying the world, displacing workers from their labor and stealing other people's works without attribution, consent, or compensation. Fucking bastard.
I don't think I have seen someone flex about having driven someone off some platform before honestly. I do block a lot though.
