“I know, right? Some people even make it their entire username.” —u/giantsninerswarriors “True, I lived it twice. First time, I was a young, driven, ladder climber. Second, I was a greedy, grab-all-the-Cheetos before everything goes to pot… Then, when it did in 2008, the financial collapse happened, and I became lost. I’d let 95% of my identity become my job, and when it disappeared so did I. Took over a year to get my head right.” —u/DanMittaul “You are definitely a Ravenclaw for coming to that conclusion.” —u/FinniboiXD “And conversely, politicians they hate.” —u/Jayypoc “Lots of New Yorkers (city not state) are guilty of this too. But it’s not just them. Los Angelenos, San Franciscans, Chicago, and DC are guilty too. Texans are probably the worst about it, especially the farther they get away from Texas. Then, you’ve got people from Austin who are like the elitist Texans; they’re like the oddest mix of hippie and redneck. They often pride themselves on the hippie and denounce the redneck while still obviously being one.” —u/serene_brutality
“I’ve seen so many things on the internet like, ‘Only ’90s kids understand/remember,’ when I was born in 2000 and I remember or understand everything in that video. Like damn — stop pretending you’re the only one who had pillow pets.” —u/Think-Huckleberry965 “Yes. My dad is one of these people; he owns a Harley, and literally every T-shirt and jacket he has is Harley Davidson merch. His truck is plastered with the Harley Davidson logo. He put it on my mom’s car’s front license plate. He wanted to put his stickers on my car. The walls in his garage are completely covered with Harley Davidson signs and decals to the point where you can’t tell what color the walls even are. Same with our fence. Harley Davidson neon lights are placed around the entire house. His phone case? Harley Davidson. Our flag pole? Harley Davidson flag (just below the American one, of course). It’s ridiculous.” —u/tourmalinefigurine
“I remember someone once told me that crypto is the equivalent of selling Avon for dude bros, and I can’t look at it the same anymore.” —u/sweetdawg99 “It’s not as common anymore, but doctors’ wives used to be like this. When women were only supposed to get married and have kids, they derived their status from who they married. Landing a doctor was like finding gold.” —u/2PlasticLobsters —u/mochaboo20 “And the amount of caffeine you drink to compensate. This is me right now in the manufacturing field. Currently looking for a new job.” —u/KITTIESbeforeTITTIES Disney Adult: House is a shrine of Disney merchandise, Disney car decals, every single vacation they take is to a Disney park, cries meeting Disney characters, half their wardrobe is Disney themed, insists on a Disney proposal, wedding, and/or honeymoon. Refuses to let go of childhood." —u/xandrenia
“As a redhead, I hate other redheads like that. It’s so annoying. We are pretty much normal people. Just have some physical traits that differ.” —u/NopeRope8050
“I smoke plenty of weed. But there’s nothing more irritating than a pothead.” —u/seefith “I have a friend like this. You can talk about anything, and he’ll eventually crank up a joke either about banging or genitals.” —u/ruismies “Ugh, my former boss. I love her but she joined a CrossFit gym, and suddenly it was Facebook posts, checking in at every workout, the ugly decal that took up one-fourth of her rear window, branded water bottle, and raving each morning about how sore she was. Sad thing is that she got more injuries than gains.” —u/e_lizz “And guess what? It’s impossible to point this out because it falls right into their perception. Avoid at all costs.” —u/factchecker8515 “Elon fanboys are weird. ‘I love you, Elon.’” —u/downtimeredditor “Agreed, though I wonder if for many it’s a defense mechanism to soften the blow of the last few years… If you ‘don’t give a fuck,’ it hurts less when bad things happen, maybe? :(” —u/pair_of_grins
