30 Satisfying Stories Of Overconfident People Getting Put In Their Place, As Shared In This Online Group
In fact, people don't learn anything. Absolutely nothing. It would seem that no matter how many centuries have passed since the time of David and Goliath, still, there are always people with an incredibly large ego, and in completely different life situations.
And, of course, in full accordance with the laws of karma, arrogance almost always gets what it deserves. A person claiming to be extremely erudite takes last place in the trivia quiz, a guy who thinks he's a great driver fails the driving test, Atlanta Falcons lose the Superbowl after having 28:3 in the third quarter...
In general, karma is a very unpleasant thing for those who want to show off something in front of others. You can be sure, sooner or later (most likely sooner), you will regret it. The only consolation is that you might get featured in this popular Reddit thread in which the topic starter wondered about situations where someone's large ego has been absolutely flattened. Currently, the thread has received almost 6K upvotes, over 2.5K comments, and counting.

There was an arm wrestling trend going on at my high school during my junior year, and there was an all star athlete on my basketball team we called Pat who was very cocky. He wasn’t the best on the team at basketball, but he started in every single sport and he was absolutely jacked for a 17 yr old. One day he challenges this semi mentally handicapped kid at our school to an arm wrestling match over who gets to use this particular tool in shop. This kid is pretty big, but he’s a bit slow so he got teased a lot. Anyways they get set up, everyone’s watching, and the match starts. 15 seconds go by and Pat couldn’t move this kid’s arm at all. He just sat there smiling at Pat and watched the smug and cocky attitude disappear. Then he easily pinned his arm and let Pat use the tool anyways. He walked away humming to himself like usual. What a boss.

This is a real thing. It used to have a name that we don't use anymore (r word strength) but really just comes from psychology. Neurotypical people will subconsciously block their strength potential to avoid hurting themselves, while some nerodivergent people won't. It's kind of incredible actually.

Eh. I've done this myself, with a woman that challenged me. She wound up using both arms to try to move me, which was definitely cheating, so I added my other arm. However, my goal was not to win. The goal was to avoid losing. So, we both walked away after a stalemate, although I feel I demonstrated a point.

Long ago? In college one semester for fun I took “Swine Management”. I’m a total city girl, about 5 ft nothing, and at the time I was like 105 lbs soaking wet. I did learn how to restrain a hog in that class, and I got to know all the barn men really well.
Next fall semester, I start my Veterinary College courses. In Large Animal Medicine, we had a block of, you guessed it, swine disease prevention. The professor was known to enjoy taking his students down a peg or two. Great, he covers basic swine restraint really fast, like no way you’d be able to do this…unless you already know how. He looks around…barn men are watching this show from the back. I didn’t want to disappoint them, so I make eye contact with the prof and of course he picks me “to demo”.
I calmly walk up to the sow, take the rope, loop around the belly, twist, half hitch into her mouth and tie her up. Barn men are like proud papas, prof is like wtf just happened. He asked me where I grew up, he’s clearly thinking Iowa or something, I answer the big city to the west.
Best day ever.

When I was in high school, girls couldn't take auto shop class, but a night class in "auto maintenance" was offered so I took it. Mostly it was me, and about 15 older ladies there for fun, flirting with the teacher. He was the regular daytime auto shop teacher. One night he's teaching carburetor basics, and takes a Holley 650 apart to show it's workings. Break time comes and I start putting the carburetor back together for fun. Teacher comes along, asks what I'm up to. I tell him I'm reassembling the Holley 650. He laughed and said "good luck". 10 minutes later I've returned the reassembled carb to his desk. He starts looking at it, sees it's complete, kind of humphs and doesn't say anything..I felt pretty good.

I like this... I didn't have a smug shop teacher in 7th grade, but he was a serious no nonsense guy. I was 1 of 4 girls in the class and we had to design our own CO2 race cars, complete with wind tunnel experiments and all kinds of stuff. I knew birds, and had a very good visualization for aerodynamics. I was on crutches a bunch at the time for a serious injury and picked on quite a bit, so it came as a surprise to me that he still told the story of "the quiet girl that kicked the asses of all the boys in the entire grade level", 6 years later to boost the confidence of any girl in the class. I was the 1st place racer from the entire grade (500 at least), which didn't really sink at the time, but everytime I blew wheels off crossing the finish line first, I could see a faint wry, smile on his face... I didn't comprehend until I was an adult what I had accomplished, and how proud he was. I found out about the story being repeated from younger family and friends attending. 👍teacher

The day I got my restraining Order against my then spouse...Everyone says the abusers rarely show up, and he had no reason to show up at ours...
He was drunk, belligerent, and volatile.
The judge let him ramble and make an absolute A*S out himself, for about ten minutes before she asked him when he had had his last alcoholic beverage, since she could smell him from the bench...He started in on her and she...just ripped him apart.
For the first time in his life, he was forced to silently listen to a woman call him out, tell him he is an abuser, a user, an addict, and a terrible person in general. In front of his teenage kids he brought along.
She counted down each previous RO and eviction from all his previous women, and (correctly) said he is the kind of man who chooses vulnerable women to live off of and she sees this as his "job" and that he wasn't going to be getting a "paycheck" from me anymore.
It's been years and he still hates me with a passion for that experience.

Lol reminds me of when I got an RO against my now ex husband. He showed which shocked me, and he tried to of course gas light the judge into thinking I was crazy. But she saw right through him. She brought up how he has never held a job longer than 6 months how it was "never" his fault he lost them and how I have had my career in Law enforcement for YEARS. He tried to question something in the order and she literally said to him "Do you know how to read???" It was amazing.

Son was born the day before, my wife was in bed recovering. I’m all cocky because I was able to put him to sleep and did a perfect swaddle. I was able to calm him down in seconds and I’m just getting more arrogant by the minute. I volunteer to change his pooped diaper because I’ve been a father for an entire day and clearly an expert at this point. So apparently my beautiful newborn wasn’t finished pooping and not only peed all over my face and chest but he pooped all over my hands. After that happened I was a little more humble.

I had been a mother for 10 days and for the first time I was alone with the baby overnight. I also had this kind of diaper explosion, he pooped all over my hands, shirt, pants, and carpet. What a mess. I then had to somehow clean him while not rubbing the poop into the carpet in front of the changing table. Then had a screaming child for 30 minutes as I changed and deep cleaned the floor. Fun times, but you get better.

I hate it when people use their fame or association to get something. I work at a non-profit and I constantly get calls from "supporters" who ask me is there's anything I can do to get them tickets to a sold out show. They go on about how much they have donated blah blah blah. I don't give in. Instead, I sell the reserve tickets (at a discount) to a nice person who tells me "oh man!" I was hoping there would be tickets left by the time I got paid and had enough money to get the tickets." non-profits are all about helping people in the end right?? =D

While we are waiting to be seated in walks a woman that is on our local news with some of her friends. She asks for a table and is told it's going to be about an hour as the place is packed. Gets angry, going on about who she is. No one seems to really care as she's know as being a b***h. The look on her face when a group of teenagers gets seated ahead of her was priceless.

I worked at a fancy ski resort giving lessons. (One of those resorts the celebrities often go to) During our new employee orientation we were even told to look out for celebrities and to treat them with a little bit of extra gusto. One day a man walked up to me and asked about lessons for his kid and I said we are a full for today. Maybe tomorrow? He paused, looked at me in the eye and told me his name; I responded by sticking my hand out and introducing myself as well. I thought it was super nice of him to introduce himself. Then there was a long awkward pause and then he walked off. It wasn't till later that one of my co-workers told me that he is a multi Grammy award-winning country artist. I don't listen to country, I just thought he was nice. Now I know he was expecting for me to give him special treatment and it kind of ruined it.

I worked IT support for my school while I was in college. One of my coworkers was the type who thinks they’re the smartest guy in the room. One day he came in and couldn’t get his monitors to work. After 10 minutes of watching him struggle I tried to interject and help but got a long winded rant about how he’s been working with computers his whole life and doesn’t need any help, if he can’t figure it out I certainly wouldn’t be able to.
I just responded with “that’s cool man, I just thought monitors had to be plugged in to work, my bad.” His entire face turned red and he looked like he wanted to die as he realized both monitors were unplugged.

Oh, geez, this takes me back to a time when *I* was the idiot. In the early 2000s the school I work at had only a rudimentary computer room. I think there were about 12 computers total. We had this annoying, smug couple who would do IT for us. So one day one of the computers does not have sound. I fiddle with the buttons. I switch out the headphones. I do everything I can think of. Finally, I call the IT guy in, tell him that I can't understand why the computer's sound doesn't work. He goes to the task bar and unclicks the sound where it was on 'mute'. That's right, a child had managed to put the sound on mute and I never once thought to check.

Worked for Dell tech support. Had a call from a really irate customer demanding an engineer out immediately cos his computer is faulty. Was really arrogant...."been working with computers for years, I know more than you" etc. Tried to explain that before I could send out an engineer we'd have to do some troubleshooting - no joy. After about 10 minutes of him arguing and me refusing to budge he relented to the troubleshooting, all the while puffing about how tech savvy he is. Asked what was happening and was there anything on the screen. He said that there was some message but KNOWS that only an engineer will fix it! Asked what the exact message was - Non-system disk or disk error - replace and strike any key when ready. I asked if by any chance there was a floppy disk in the drive to which he replied "Never mind, I've fixed it myself" :D :D

Hm. You can only communicate your needs for so long until you get frustrated at not being heard I guess (I'm assuming they already discussed this with him multiple times since she could say that it among people). Still not something to really say in public but also a very inappropriate thing to say from the one asking.

Oh SO many times. I live in the DC area. The number of times I have seen men patronize a little gray-haired woman and then learn she is a power player... it's glorious.
My favorite was a backyard barbecue with some friends who sail. You've got everyone from the guy who scrapes barnacles off the bottom of the boats to old Navy dudes to the people who own racing yachts. And you CANNOT tell by looking. These yacht racers dress like they went shopping at the Salvation Army in 1989.
So there we are, watching the kids spray each other with the hose and waiting for burgers, and my friend's new brother-in-law is a Lawyer. He wants everyone to know he is a Lawyer. He's swaggering around like, "Well, as an ATTORNEY...." oh god. He is SUPER patronizing to a nice older lady and a teen girl, then heads over for yet another beer. He's pulling his I'm A LaWYeR routine on a guy and the guy says, "Oh, hey, I have a great person for you to meet!" Drags the jackass back over to the older lady and the teen girl and introduces the jackass to the two. Jackass realizes he bragged about being a lawyer to the dean of a major law school and Justice Scalia's granddaughter.
I thought the jackass was going to s**t himself.

When I was a kid a new guy showed up at church. He was inordinately proud of the fact that he had a PHD in communications and insisted everyone call him "Doctor" (and he was old enough that it's not like he *just* got his doctorate). He basically treated everyone else like uneducated rubes because *he* was a Doctor.
Whelp, the neurosurgeon, the anesthesiologist, the radiologist (chief of radiology at the biggest regional hospital!), the 3 dentists, the 2 orthodontists, and a handful of other people that I have no idea what they did all started calling each other "Doctor" as well.
Weirdly, mr. communications stopped insisting everyone call him doctor.

(They consider me their "liberal friend") The owner of the range overheard and decided to make it a competition. I crushed all of them. There wasn't a close second. No one asked if I grew up hunting and shooting, I also didn't mention it. 10 years later, we are all still friends. Not much sh!t happened since then.

I knew this girl who was a part of my friend group back in high school. She started really harshly bullying one of the girls in our group and wouldn’t own up to it or apologize in any way so we all cut ties with her. Shortly afterwards she moved away. Let me tell you I have never seen such sudden and strong entitlement come from a person.
She reached out to the girl she was bullying almost a year later and told her she was coming back and was going to “ruin her life.” Said she was going to re-join the youth group at our church and spread horrible rumors about her so that nobody would like her anymore and she’d be able to steal all of her friends back. Also said she was going to play the victim card and tell everyone that she was the one being harassed. We shared those messages with our minister and she was promptly banned from that group and never got to show her face there again. She also started posting things about all of us on tiktok, which we reported and ended up getting her temporarily banned from the platform. She wasn’t able to get a job in this town because everywhere she applied there was someone there who knew what she did and told their boss not to hire her. And now her grandma is kicking her out and sending her back home.

In highschool a martial arts group performed for us during an assembly in the gym. The lead guy with a microphone was arrogant and full of himself. He was demonstrating how you could lock your arms behind your neck in a hold that can't be separated. He asked for someone from the audience to try and break his arms apart. Down from the bleachers came our top male gymnast. The student got behind the "expert" and in a matter of seconds the student not only broke the hold but dislocated the pro's shoulder in the process.
Best assembly ever.

One thing you learn really fast in martial arts is never to underestimate anyone. I am 6'' and lift weights regularly. When I first started training, after a few days of learning the ropes, was told to spar this tiny little girl, who couldn't have been more than 4'' 9'. Thirty seconds into the match, I'm flat on my back with the wind knocked out of me, and that tiny little girl has my wrist held in a joint lock that feels like my wrist is breaking.

Elementary school track meet, 1995.
My friend E introduced me to her friend S who went to another school. I was there as a sub but someone on our team didn't show so I was up. E mentions I'm in the same race as S and turns out we're both starting the relay. S immediately starts ribbing me - "I'm going to beat you", "I'm faster than you". I was a sweet looking innocent girl, people were generally nice to me unless they were the type of a*****e who spotted an easy target.
Race starts, I'm running and I don't see her anywhere. I'm thinking, damn, she is fast until I check over my shoulder. When I tell you this girl was not just behind me but SO FAR behind me. Our team placed 2nd and hers came in something like 5th or 6th. She didn't say a word after, I doubt she'd even remember it but to this day I think about it anytime someone goes into S mode with me. I never give it back to them, I always just do my own thing and hope that I prove them wrong and usually it works.

There was this annoying woman in my department at work back in the early 80s. She was one of those who had already seen it/done it better during any topic of conversation. It bugged me because it seemed to me that the bulk of her claims were products of her imagination, but many of our co-workers thought that "Lynn" was sooo cool, she knows so many famous people and has visited all these exotic places!" Well, she crossed the line with me in 1980 when I was fortunate enough to get front row tickets to a Queen concert in Detroit via a scalper. I paid $45 each, but it was worth it - that was back in the day when the front row folks were squished against the stage so that we rested our forearms on it. Both Freddie and Brian shook my hand during the show. Of course, since I was willing to spend that kind of cash to see them it only makes sense that I was a huge fan and knew a LOT about the band and its history.
Come Monday morning I go to work and talk enthusiastically about seeing Queen so closely and Lynn interjects off-handedly, "Oh, I remember partying with them back in the day when they played small clubs. I remember seeing them at [some small downtown Detroit bar] and playing cards with them backstage later." I looked her in the eye and replied, "The first time Queen ever played in Detroit was at the Ford Auditorium in February 1975. They've never played club dates in Detroit." She just gave me a frozen smile, patted my arm and walked away. After that she never interacted with me unless absolutely necessary.

I was the singer in a very moderately successful rock band in the early '90s. I was living in an apartment block and there was an incredibly hot girl that lived there and I'd always try and say hi and interact with her but she would have none of it. After my third or fourth attempt she just looked me square in the face and told me to f**k off and leave her alone. About a month later my band was playing a nightclub. The place was sold out. I was walking through the crowd before the show and saw her standing with some girl friends and walked over and asked her what she was doing here. She replied that she was dating the lead singer of the band. I said which band? She said the band playing here tonight, and I replied but I'm the lead singer of that band. To her credit, she said okay fine. You caught me in a lie. I f*****g laughed and walked away.

Years back, before the Internet, I was into the Beatles and interested in pen pals with the same interest. In my intro letter to one of them, I wrote tongue-in-cheek what I had in common with each former member of the band: "straight brown hair like George Harrison, big nose like Ringo Starr" etc. The pen pal answered his common points - "handsome like George Harrison, talented like --" and bragged that he was friends with lots of bands. He sounded far less interesting than he imagined. I ended up writing to someone totally unpretentious whose letters cracked me up ("Winston had a dirty weekend with the married woman next door and she put baby powder all over him. Lucky for me, her husband the six-foot-tall Scotsman with the foul temper was out of town.")

There’s this guy who always shows up to the public dog park and let’s everyone know he is a professional dog trainer. One day he targets this good looking woman with a big ol German Shepard. He goes up to her, gives her the usual schpeel “hey I train dogs professionally and just wanted to let you know that your dog is a killer. It’s a good thing you have him out here getting his energy out. I can tell he is young and I’m sure you’re coming home to tons of accidents and objects chewed up? I’ll happily give you a free lesson.” The woman looks at him and says “my dog is 5 years old and has never had an accident in my house and never chewed up anything.” Dog trainer guy just sort of laughed and walked away, onto the next person he can bother.

When I was in middle school I was very short and generally just looked like a stereotypical 14 year old girl. One day in gym class we go to the weight room, so I'm doing weighted squats (don't remember the exact weight, but probably between 60 pounds and 80 pounds), and this kid starts getting all cocky and teasing me for "trying too hard" and basically challenges me to a bench pressing competition.
What he didn't know was that I spent 2 hours in the weight room every morning.
I kicked his butt, it was very satisfying.

my landlord's two sons, who were bodybuilders, came in and started bragging about how much they could leg press. I asked them to show me and each struggled but did 600 lbs. I set the weights to 915 lbs, the weight I had done earlier in the week, and crushed their egos with a single lift.

I had a moment like that in a college gym class. I was about 30 and the kid was 18. He complained about getting the "old lady" as a partner and I could do twice as many crunches as he could. He said it was b/c I didn't hold his legs right and the prof told him right off in front of everyone and said he shouldn't be embarrassed when someone older is better at something than him but should be embarrassed for acting like an a*s to me. I was a pretty fit 30 year old.

I remember this twat named Chris in a junior high school gym class. He was strutting around, chest all puffed out because he did more pull-ups than anyone. Until Marcia the tiny gymnast took her turn, and did nearly twice as many as him. I can still see the shame on his macho little face 35 years later. 🙂

Awesome!!! I got banned from my school's weight room b/c I got severely $exually harassed by 2 of our star football players & they jumped my guy friend who was w/ me after he confronted them in the locker room. Yes, he also got banned, but he was a wrestler, so he was allowed back in eventually. I was banned for the rest of my h.s. career (at that time it was 2 yrs).

This is fairly common with men at the gym. Especially newbies. I'm pretty into weightlifting (not in any way a bodybuilder) and some guy come up and want to share a machine/equipment. They always put on more weights during their turn to the point where they can't keep their form/lift a full set just to try to show off. Blah. Toxic masculinity right there.

I once confronted my Taekwondo grandmaster about not ever pairing me up with anyone my age and weight. For context, I was 12, 4'10 and weighed about 100 lbs. He keptmaking me spar younger kids, I'm talking 8-10 year olds whose butts I could easily kick, so I had to hold myself back a lot. I asked him to at least pair me up with another 12 year old. He said I was too small and that I would lose. I asked him if he became grandmaster by fighting kids and he was like "Fine. Go spar that guy over there." This dude was huge, 15 or so, and a lot more experienced. I got to use my full power that day. I lost, but I could at least learn from it. The next time I sparred that same dude, I beat him and showed his belt to my grandmaster as proof that I won. Got banned from sparring, but I got to use my full power and learned when I lost!

I remember that guy who was always bragging about how fit and how strong he was and so good at weightlifting and such. Went with his girlfriend to her parents´ farm to live and work there. We went to see the two and got to talk to her father first. Turns out they tried having him lift hey balls with a fork, to then decide to rather have him stick to "light work" like picking tobacco....

I worked for a Mercedes Benz dealer. Lots of a-hole customers, but one in particular was just a d**k. He'd throw a tantrum if he couldn't get in for a service appointment with zero notice and pulled a lot of "do you KNOW who I AM" c**p to try to get his way. He came in one day and made a huge production of buying a $100,000 car - made sure everyone in the dealership knew he was buying it and exactly how much it cost, drove it into the service bay to smugly show it off to the techs, rolled the top down and blasted his lame 80's music as loud as he could on the way out...super cringy. About three hours after he left with his new car, he walked back into the service bay absolutely losing his $hit and demanding his money back because "the car was ruined". Sure enough, here comes the tow truck with his pretty little convertible in tow. Turns out genius had decided to show off his car to his work buddies and parked it on the street with the top down, then popped inside to "conduct some business". Welp, a downpour came out of nowhere and drenched the interior of the car. Totally ruined the electronics, soaked into the upholstery, and he couldn't even turn it on. The thing was essentially totaled and he'd had it for three hours. It was amazing.

Anybody here knowing enough about todays convertibles to tell me if this story is for real? My father used to have an old convertible and one thing I remember is: downpours happen - not often, but a quick change in weather is something to deal with sooner or later (like one time I had lent it with my boyfriend for our trip to Italy and on our way back we went into a tunnel in sunshine and got out in what felt like the middle of a waterfall, getting soaked till we made it to a pit stop). That was before cars got that much electricity in them, but it doesn´t sound realistic that convertibles wouldn´t be built with that in mind (like leather or fake leather seats)? -?

So this lady was called to do a job. Once she came, I welcomed her and she passes me like I'm insignificant. She kept making side comments and asking where the person she's to talk to is. It felt like she was trying to get on my nerves to be honest. Anyways, the dude finally comes and she stands up greeting and smiling acting polite. He points to me and goes, "That's who you answer to, I have a lot to do". Her expression changes. I smile and ask what questions she has. *Silence*

A guy in our union was running for some executive board position and he was telling everyone what an easy win it was gonna be for him because nobody like the other 2 people running for the job. Come election day he got a very humbled awakening. Out of 1300 people he got less than 10 votes. He didn’t speak to many people for awhile after that. Nobody likes a braggart.

Exactly that happened at my workplace. She was 5 years already the Union leader, and thought, it will be an easy win a few months ago, when we had elections. She got 3 votes (her 2 friends) out of 19. She is not speaking to anyone now, except her 2 friends. Not much a difference, compared to how "communicative" she was before.

My family has an old story that always gets retold. This was in the early 1980s. One of my grandfather's cousins was the kind of guy who'd always one-up in conversations- "Oh, I know a better place for dinner." "I know the best X". "I got a guy at X, I can get us in." He recently got a brand new Cadillac car and loved to say how it was top of the line. One fine Sunday, the whole clan went into the city for dinner. The cousin arrives in a flourish, gets out of the Caddy, hands the man at the entrance the keys and $10 and tells him to take care of his car. After dinner, he gets out and tells the maitre'd to bring his car around. "What car, sir?" "The car I had valeted." "We don't have a valet." "Then who did I give my car to?" "..." Yep. He was pretty quiet the ride back.

With some friends at a pool hall/club opening night. Packed, local celebs. DFW area, so Cowboys, Mavericks, etc. Find a table where some guy is talking loads of sh*t how he's so good, so amazing, he'll take one anyone in 9 ball.
At the time, roomie and I knew all the staff at a place close to our apt. We'd play all night, no charge. They made up for it in food and alcohol, trust. We practiced breaks for 9 ball. Got there 8 times out of 10 I could sink the 9 on break, or sink at least one and run to the 9. Not saying I was world class but I was good.
I volunteer. Dudebro generously offered me break. Sink the 9. Laugh from the crowd. Guy claims it's just luck. Break again, sink the 9. Third break, sink it. Dudebro is pissed, tells me scram, points at roomie. Who sinks the 9 four times in a row. Crowd is now laughing AT Dudebro, who is massively pissed. Throws down his cur and leaves.
Turns out it was the owner, and a pro on the billiards circuit.

He was adamant and he sat at the bar across from me the whole time. I played on my phone and named myself Bumpkin.

After moving, I tried out a bar that shared a parking lot with a lumber yard. It was filled with airline pilots and guys you could tell came from the lumberyard. The bar had one of those global online trivia systems and I decided to play and I was destroyed. The lumberyard and bar was owned by 3 retired college friends. One was a former CFO, one was a former lead scientist for Georgia Pacific Paper, and third was a retired Air Force colonel who ran the flight training simulator in town after leaving the service. They built the bar so they could have a place to play trivia. Turns out the bar got money if they placed top 10 globally. They comped all orders made during that game and players would get a cut of the money end of the month based on how many bar wins they were in. The guys were already good but they recruited players to play against and word got out. Most of the guys covered in sawdust had masters/PhDs in engineering, geology, etc or owned a related company but still worked in the field. The people dressed as pilots were ringers and a +1 who got free flights to/from CO for vacation by flying jump seats on private planes. The trivia company sent spies to check for cheating but the competition within the bar guaranteed answers were never shared.

Edit: the CFO and flight simulator guy both knew owners of planes or plane fleets and they made deals like the real pilot flying got 10 hours free simulator time or put plane owner up at the CFO's place in Aspen.

Something similar happened to me. At university, for a Religious Instruction course (mandatory during apartheid, as the 'white' education was called Christian National Education) we had to do a Bible knowledge quiz. Now, I was a Biblical Studies major but decided I'd better study, so I took the notes we were given THAT CONTAINED ALL THE BIBLE CHAPTERS THAT WOULD BE IN THE TEST and went off the the library before the test to read up all the relevant chapters. Friend whose fiance is studying to be a minister (and whose future FIL is one) says, "Oh, I bet I'll do really well. My fiance's almost a minister." Other people were going, "It's just the Bible, how hard can it be?" Turns out... very hard. Most people got around 40%. Friend got 65. I got... 90. :)

I got promoted (at a f*****g McDonald's... Wow...) over some other girl. I didn't even know I was being considered until a day or two before the managers voted. I was told to come in the next day in my new uniform and the other girl came in, saw my uniform, and quit on the spot. She accused me of stealing "her" promotion.
I found out from an assistant manager that they were openly considering her and tried to push her towards things she would need to know/do and she would never take the initiative to learn more, do more. I actively tried to learn more (mainly to get out of service and into the kitchen... Fuuuuck the public) and was well liked by most of the crew/management and someone randomly tossed my name in the conversation.

Back when taking the Matura (huge high school graduation exam), there was this girl in my class who was extremely vocal about her great English skills (as a 2nd language). She had lived in the US before and everything. When we got the results back, she was bragging about her 98% and how "noone ever gets a perfect score anyway". Well, umm... she was surprised to find out that I, a person that originally started in the beginner course, did get 100%. And the majority of our class was actually in the 85%+ category.

A dude in high school had lots of money growing up. He liked to splash it around and bragged about fancy clothes and cars and throwing parties where he would supply alcohol for everyone. I wasn't so much of a friend but we just ran in different circles. A few years later it was discovered that they were so rich because his dad who was a wealth manager embezzled money for years from his clients. This was a sort of small community so his clients were all friends and family. It was all over the press that his dad went to jail. This hit him hard. I ran into him a few years later and he had changed his name, his personality was different and he even walked with a different poster. I couldn't imagine how much this would have rocked his world. It definitely took his ego down a few notches. I sort of felt bad for him as he was just a product of his environment. He didn't know that it was at the cost of practically everyone around him.

In school, when I was 14, there was this particular bully who was already 1.90m tall. Bullied all people, felt high and mighty up until we went to a class from 1st floor to the 3rd, he was walking behind me, and called my mom all sorts of slurs, and then I twirled around punched him in the face and broke his nose. Never was bullied again by him. As we got to graduation, I learned that his parents were alcoholics and we talked a lot about his family and his insecurities. Turns out, he discontinued being an a*****e and got somewhat more likable.

One of my co-workers, Tim, was featured in a large publication's article on the overscheduled American child. It followed him and his family about their day as they rushed their children from music lessons to sports teams to a whole bunch of other activities. The parents wouldn't even let the kids fool around in the car - they were told "Is that a good use of your time?"
The parents were proud. They said it would instill a necessary work ethic for their kids to get ahead in the USA.
That same week, we were on a team conference call, voice only. Snoring sounds started interrupting the meeting. It finally got so bad that the manager did a roll call.
"Tim?" No answer. Snoring continues. "Tim? Tim? TIMMMMM!!!"
Everyone starts laughing as Tim startles awake. He never lived it down.

In my math classes. I am a math major and although I am good at math I am slow. I take my time with problems and have to visually see them to solve them the majority of the time.
There's sometimes that one student who is fast at solving the problem, great mental math skills. Yet when they have an ego they don't check their work. They raise their hand and are shocked when they are wrong. In high school there were times I would get a look when I raised my hand with the correct answer and it made me feel guilty. When I got into college I stopped caring.

She was always a bit condescending and telling me I was wrong, explaining thing slowly and assuming that she knew better than me. I let it go because I did not really care. Then one day she was speaking about her salary and how she just got a promotion, we where all happy for her but then she started going around the table and asked how many the others where making. Everybody was making more than her, when my turn come I see a bit of hope that at least I should be paid less than her. But that was not the case, by far. I saw here deflate so fast, she became gray and sad. It made me sad for her because she made herself so unhappy and i could not really help her because the reason she was unhappy was that I was not under her.

Worked with a super confident Jack-the-lad type years ago (late 80’s-90’s). He’d recently split up with a long term gf (who he’d cheated on multiple times). The lad had been feeling a bit unwell for a couple of weeks, generally run down sort of thing. He bumped in to the ex who when told of his health shrugged her shoulders with a “what do you want me to do about it” look. This displeased him and when I saw him the following day he said that he’d concocted an unpleasant plan to tell her that he’d tested HIV+ and that she should be tested. Now I don’t know about you but I thought that this was a bit disproportionate. So, myself and another lad got to his ex first! She wrote him a letter expressing her regret that she’d not been more sympathetic to his plight and that she’d since noticed that she too had been suffering similar symptoms. Because, as he knew, she had private health care through her employer, they had rushed some tests and had diagnosed her with…. Here we struggled to think of something then a friend of hers came up with “Sweet Itch”. None of us had every heard of it. “It’s something horses get, it makes their tails fall out” she said. Perfect! The letter gets delivered the following day. 4 days later I see him in a bar. “Hi XXX, how’re you doing? Feeling any better?” “I am a bit” he says “but tbh I’m sh1tting through the eye of a needle” Ah yes, I should have said, his ex’s “private health company” had prescribed a cure of Cod Liver Oil and Epsom Salts - 3 times a day!!! I’m struggling to hold it together now. “Blimey, that sounds rough” I said, “do you know what it is yet?” “It’s called Sweet Itch” he says I shrug my shoulders “Never heard of it” “Nor had my f*cking doctor! He looked it up and said it’s something horses get. I called him an incompetent old c@nt and walked out” I’m gone now, I’m on the floor, tears are streaming down my face. He’s looking at me very confused, still absolutely no idea. “It’s a wind up mate” I manage “Me, X, Y and Z wrote the letter the other night.” I saw a man crumble before my eyes, every ounce of bravado and confidence drain from his face and his body. He just couldn’t comprehend that he could be caught so thoroughly hook, line and sinker. He was broken. Within the next week he was dumped by two different women and smashed up his car (he was ok). He did build his ego back up enough to find himself a lovely lady a couple of years later and is now a very happy house husband with two beautiful kids. 30+ years on he does see the funny side (just) and does admit that the HIV plan was abhorrent and would like to think he would never have gone through with it.

When I was in high school this girl ran for the school council. She was a junior and was running unopposed for the vice president position. She talked big and automatically assumed she would win, I mean why wouldnt she? During her speech she flat out insulted the senior class and ran her mouth for 10 minutes. In the end everyone ABSTAINED FROM VOTING. So she literally lost against no one. Never ran for any council after that after realizing more than half the school decided having no one would be better than having her.

My response was "yes I know who you are (although I wouldn't have if the name wasn't on the tab) and you do not own the bar, my family does and you need to pay your tab or you will not be served and your tab privilege's have been revoked." they were livid but didn't really have a choice as we were the only bar in town.

One of my former classmates didn’t like that I was stronger than him (I wasn’t), or probably just me in general. Never did anything to him, but he was always mad about something. My friends stuck up for me a lot when he tried anything. He decided to join the wrestling team. The following year, he tried to steal food from my locker. I had only seen an arm reaching right next to me, so I just moved the arm a little faster. Same guy. He was slammed into the lockers. Then he tripped and fell when he tried to run away. This guy’s ego looked destroyed. Didn’t succeed in stealing food, or anything, from me. Bonus: he went and brought a strict hall monitor over to me and complained. She just smiled, said hi to me, and didn’t believe I would intentionally hurt him (I wouldn’t). Never heard from him again.

I hit the ladies room and the head cheerleader in leaning against a stall. I say “oh you’re x, you did this and this an that” and she’s dumpy now and not as hot as she was 5 years earlier. She goes “who are you?” I say my name and she stumbles backwards into the door and winds up sitting on a girls lap using the potty. That was epic. Not to mention all the guys complimented how nice I was and friendly then and still was. Confidence is a game changer.
Final score:
-14points

In middle school a boy told me i was ugly and no one would ever date me. 5 Yeats later I run into him and he's like "whoa you look so different," and asks me for my number. I just was like um didn't you say I was ugly and no one would ever date me? He just starts blushing and stammering and I just walked away. He dms me later on Facebook and says he wants to hang out because he's going to jail soon. I did not reply.

Worked in the MMJ industry in Colorado for 10 years, then the "green rush" happens and suddenly all these men from out of state are telling me what I "should be doing".

There was this kid Aidan in middle school who always said he would call his lawyer if we screwed with him. He was a pushover, so everyone did screw with him. Then he finally got in the cool kids circle (kind of) and they were horsing around and from the account of some of the guys there, he followed through on a dare to pee on his friends hat. He got suspended for a week, and when he got back, i said, “ Looks like your lawyer from Best Buy didn’t cut it, huh?” (His dad is a lawyer.)

He was still screwed with after the fact, too. I remember at the end of the year this kid Charlie was yeeting Mike and Ike candies at Aidan from across the Spanish room while the Spanish sub could not give less of a sh1t. That is, until i found a piece of wood and broke it up into pieces for Charlie to throw next.
