Whats the Least Impressive Thing Someone has Told you

We have all heard the interview question about our proudest achievement, or about some dude gloating about the chicks he has railed. But out of all these moments, what was the least impressive thing that someone has told you. It just made you pity the fool and want to throw him out the window?

 

It's a reference to an incredibly shitty poster on the site named Michigan with a bunch of numbers. He supposedly has a ft offer at a tech company. He just posted about how he doesn't respect his mom because she went to a non-target.

Dayman?

Anything related to crypto trading

This one newspaper has been interviewing and writing about one crypto "investor" for over a year now, and it's absolutely driving me up the walls. Basically his story is:

  • Bought (and forgot) bitcoins for hundred bucks a couple of years ago
  • Discovers in early 2017 that his investment has tripled or quadrupled
  • Goes crazy and invests his life savings on crypto ($70k or so)
  • Holds until the Dec / Jan peak, and sells with a hefty 20x return
  • Uses money to buy a nice $1MM (or so) house, still hold some crypto
  • Becomes the smuggest crypto-evangelist

He's been shitting on "regular" investment strategies, going on and on about how amazing his crypto "investments" turned out.

But of course, not a word regarding the 10 month bear market, or the late gamblers that have been losing like crazy. It's like reporting investment strategies from a lottery winner.

The crypto gamblers are the epitome of "Everyone's a genius in a bull market".

Almost everything anyone has ever claimed as an achievement is a heaping load of hot garbage. The achievements I really admire are things like that guy cutting his arm off to survive having been trapped between some rocks in the desert, or the few instances of plane crash survivors who actually did something in the heat of the moment to improve their odds of survival. Everyone else is absolutely bitch-mode, including all of us office drones. Honestly, all we do is shower to be clean and smell nice, play dress-up with suits (dresses), and otherwise do our best to be decent citizens by participating in whatever extracurricular of the month we can think of.

The dude who discovers an input in excel is linked to the wrong column (or whatever) and then proceeds to parade around the office in a victory lap reminding everyone how much of a fuck-up the prior analyst was.

100% the best way to make sure I leave you hanging out to dry if you ever fuck anything up.

Life's is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
 

Strongly disagree with you here. Sure, the "Co-chair of the Tailgate Committee" probably didn't do shit and "VP of Intramurals" is a joke, but president, treasurer, etc at some of the bigger houses are in charge of 7-figure budgets, 6-figure annual debt service (mortgage), hundreds of members, and multiple full-time staff (nonstudents who spend years working in these houses and depend on them for their livelihood). You'd be shocked at how much responsibility it actually requires to keep these things running. They're actual organizations with assets and liabilities

 

Im part of a finance club at my school and our email signature HAS to be "Head of (department) - Finance Club at the University of ...".

I swear to god I was almost removed from the Club for removing it when writing networking mails. It comes accross as douchy, especially when you try to reach out to ACTUALLY important people.
