Not sure if it counts as a brag but what about when the Don gave his best wishes to the haters and losers on 9/11 as if that is a day to celebrate
There once was a man from Nantucket....
I swear, the hooker gave me the money back...

Real tough talk there from someone posting anonymously
“ incoming spring intern”
That was me 3 years ago...
Anyone the brags about attending boarding school and/or being really smart. I know people like this IRL.
This has got to be up there on the list.
Anyone who bragged about pulling an all-nighter for work.
ME:: So what you're saying is, you're highly inefficient, and are now compromised due to lack of sleep? Or are bragging and want a cookie?
This. The petty "haha, 5 hours of sleep bro? You're so lucky, try 2!" is so pathetic and cringe-inducing.
ME: What do you do for a living? HER: I'm an Instagram model. What do you do? ME: I'm a soldier in Call of Duty. I'm a Captain!
“Best 30 seconds of my life” - my girlfriend to Connor McGregor
People from Long Island talking about how long they cook their spaghetti sauce
chick from the biggest loser (obviously overweight) is a nurse but has to tell people how to diet correctly for her job. In a way, though that was one of the bigger flex's I've heard.
Roughnecks trying to one-up each other on who's been working the longest, and being away from family and friends.
that's what we're calling first year analysts now?
To all of these
It's not a personality but it's still an accomplishment (I say as the guy who can barely run 1 mile, let alone 11). Is it the most impressive thing in the world? No, but running a half marathon isn't something most people can just get up and do, so I don't see why it's so far over the edge to brag about it.
So... basically every pitch any financial institution has ever made to a client? I remember putting league tables together...
answering in reverse order. I'm talking about people tweeting about their stock picks that worked out well and bragging about them as if they're warren buffett. the best thing to do as an investor is to keep a good trade idea to yourself unless you're going to write a soros-like diary. hubris is a CAGR killer, so yes, I despise people talking about their TSLA and AAPL shares without mentioning they also bought UBER at the market on IPO day
on the first one, sure, if you've lost weight over a long period of time, share that. that's an actual accomplishment. if you did a marathon for charity, if it was your first endurance run, sure. I wouldn't talk about it, but I'm a sociopath. my issue is this: posting about your workouts as if they're accomplishments. they're not.
and the logic about talking on things that most people can't get up and do, I don't see the point because you're doing it for selfish reasons. the marathon example: did you just do it to do it? or did you do a susan g komen race and want to let your friends know so they can donate? first one, don't brag, second one, announce that shit. let's say you make VP and some 40 under 40 list, do you brag about it? dude, you're already in Forbes, they're doing the bragging for you. put that shit on your profile and get back to work, people will notice, trust me.
TLDR - agree to disagree
One's for business, the other is to try and act smart to your buddies
Have to agree on the running point, even as someone who's fairly into it. Uploading the occasional post-race photo with your medal or whatever is all good with me, but posting a screenshot from Strava of every run route in order to humble brag about the time you completed it in is an incredibly lame move.
Bitch, I bought BTC at $19,000, bitch.
That last one is hilarious
My dude - people bragging about $ spent at strip clubs will always confuse the shit out of me
It's not really a humble brag but I can't stand people pushing BTC or any other crypto and acting like they're freeing you from the chains of capitalism or whatever. To this day I've only seen idiots do this right before the bubble bursts, never when it's a good time to buy
My final project for an undergrad computer science course was mining bitcoin. This was back in 2010.
Bragging about having attending a top High School (Collegiate, Harvard-Westlake, Boarding Schools)
You're basically bragging that you wrote a good essay in 8th grade.
You're just bragging that your parents are influential

People that brag about having a Z3, Z4 or Miata amaze and astound me.
Same with anyone who brags about having a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes when they have the most entry level model possible.
Or really any model or type of car. Consumption isn't impressive, and especially without context. /hoodrich
"Just so you know, I've always been wealthy". Didn't ask. Didn't care.
"I am proud to announce that I have accepted a new position with Morgan Stanley as an Attendee of their Job Preview Day. Thank you to all the people who helped me toward this accomplishment!"
