Most Humble Brag Profession

I don't experience a lot of this on FB. I'm thinking it's for the following reasons.

#1 My friends must not have good jobs

#2 I've de-friended the DB's.

#3 I just don't notice

#4 Most are too busy posting about their kids
 
Chris is a nurse and while this post isn't too terribly bad, nurse appreciation all year long? If he is referring to them being paid all year long then I agree.

I am a Marine. We are pretty good at it. However, We are also proud of what we did. We wear the gear and engage in convo. Same as Police and Fireman. I guess if you did a job where you did something that is unique. We get to humble brag.
 
Glad you mentioned military.

One thing that bugs me to no end is everyone throwing out the term "Hero". A person's job does not constitute being called a hero. I know several police officers who are so far from hero status it's crazy. The military guy that never left South Carolina? Yeah, not a hero.

I'm friends with a girl on Facebook who has a husband stationed within the lower 48 and has yet to leave the states. Reading her posts, you'd think he drove to Afghanistan and made it home in time for supper.

As for me. I'm a seed salesman. I live my life in a perpetual state of being hated by 90% of my customers. I find it to be pretty heroic.
 
How about the folks who go to exotic places for meetings of their multi-level marketing companies and text you photos with them holding signs that say "You should be here." Humble-brag seems to be built into their business model.
 
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

Plumbers and contractors talk like that, too. Sometimes I interrupt them to ask, "Do you mean this thing?" And they say, yeah, that thing.

Had to bandage up my elbow today after I scraped it on the rim while practicing my windmill dunks. So annoying!
 
Anybody that sells the health creams/wraps or magic wrinkle remover

Tired of hearing about how many lives they are changing and the amount of powerful women that are stepping out to make a change.
 
I own my own business. Between customers and employees being constant stresses and the long hours not helping things, I often have to go to my country club to golf 2-3 times a week to free myself. Sometimes it's so overwhelming that I'll grab a six-pack of beer to take with me on the course. So frustrating.
I can imagine the stress that buying a 6-pack at country club prices can cause.
 
I actually could care less about people judging me. My confidence in life doesn't come from others. I just don't like my work being a distraction to knowing my true character as a person. Therefore, when I die, if people are talking in my funeral about how great (or poor I guess) of an energy trader I was, I'd consider my life a failure. Ultimately, my faith in Christ is what I try to define my life by and I only hope my life reflects that to others.
People professing their faith in Christ on Facebook ranks up there. :)
