Most Humble Brag Profession

If I did go on Facebook, I'd probably mention the Crossfit humble brag dumbasses. Crossfit isn't a profession so...wrong thread.

They rank #1. I have a crossfit trainer friended on facebook and its 100% crossfit 100% of the time. Not only showing off and bragging about his customers, but bragging about himself in personal competitions... even creating his own hashtags and asking for donations so he can travel to competitions.
 
I have often griped about my douchebag brother-in-law, who updates the world on every kind of social media known to humanity with his Map My Run and every time he goes to his fitness center. He has some computer science degree and says he is an engineer. He travels a lot for work and claims he can't tell anyone where he is going for government security reasons. However, you can flipping tell where he is all the time because of his constant posting of his Map My Run. He actually wears some t-shirt that says something to the effect, "Engineers: we fix problems you are too dumb to even know you have." Last night, he actually posted on Facebook that he got in an argument with someone and verified his position with peer reviewed articles online. He simply can't get over himself.

However, with two adult sons who are engineers and have many friends who are as well, I do think brother-in-law is the exception and not the norm, and he would be arrogant no matter what his profession was. Most of my kids' friends are self-deprecating nerds.

As a fellow engineer, I hope he is the exception! ;)

I'll second nurses. No doubt I'd probably be dead without them. And same for my wife and daughter.

BUT most the nurses I know through FB barely got through high school, And then took 5 or 6 years to get through community college and are now "nurses."

I get that you do an important job, but . . . :rolleyes:
 
I could supply links to various prominent facebook pages showing pics from the Tecmo Bowl tournaments I won, but I don't feel like taking the time to dig that stuff up...

I know several young chiropractors and they are constantly posting how bad medicine is and that everyone should go to the chiro before getting a prescription that will actually fix your problem.

My Chiro keeps my knee from bugging me and helps with some other issues that prevent discomfort and migraine headaches. Outside of that, Im not confident that they are miracle workers. I'm fortunate to have spent a life free from prescriptions, other than the occasional illness or something temporary.

Whoa.....maybe there is a correlation! Jimlad!

Recent-ish Iowa State grad? Seems like every other post is him boasting about how humble he is or how every comp he goes to nobody knows his name until he beats them? Humble, indeed.

I'm friends with a bunch of engineers, so it may just be that I am around it a lot and usually one of the odd ones out. But Engineers, recent grads/young professionals, love to bring their verbiage and things they learned into normal daily conversations. Then once another engineer acknowledges that he/she knows what they are talking about it, they always have to throw in like 3 or 4 more back and forths about whatever it is they may be talking about it. Then go back to the conversation as if nothing happened.

And I'm just over here like

As a teacher I agree with this. But I am friends with a bunch of other teachers on the 'Book, so it is a giant echo chamber of affirmation this time of year.

Reminds me of going to the Credit Union last week to get funds for change in a variety of denominations for the Flea Market.

I'm jamming them into my wallet and then struggling to close it.

The clerk said something about having a problem. I said, "Yeah, it sure sucks to have so much money you can't close your wallet."
 
Not gonna lie as I'm pretty hard to annoy, but I agree those crossfit people on facebook are getting a bit ridiculous. I also think it is one of those things that in 10 years when the fad has come and gone, and people look back at their own volume of postings and pictures about it, they might feel a bit embarrassed about it.

My butler. Always complaining about working Sundays and holidays. Get over yourself.
For some reason this reminded me of the lawsuit that P Diddy's personal chef is suing him because he would make her cook and bring him food to bed while he was having sex with somebody. Then sometimes make her feed it to him. Get over yourself, chef.
