“I’ve worked in many restaurants and am also an alcoholic”
No context needed
Well isn't that context? Haha
I was the drug addict
I worked at a restaurant and met a customer one night for the first time who was nursing an entire bottle of wine to himself (not the first of the night). Cut to months later when he becomes the sous chef, and he'd been present the night I met him drinking because he'd lost his job and the head chef (they were friends at the time) invited him to come drinking.
Did they ask you wich drink you would recommend or did they challenge you to drink an entire bottle?

Imagine playing aoe3 competitively but not aoe2. Afraid of the viper?

I swear all the people who say “sorry English is my second language” speak it more clearly than people who speak English as their *first* language
@NICOLE YU there, their, and they’re can all be pronounced as “there”
No need to say them any other way
That might be because the people who have it as a second language dont use the slang and it sounds more professional and more normal. People who speak it normally got so comftorable with the language they dont care anymore and use slang
@@toxiczr9116 sounds reasonable
Same
@NICOLE YU their is pronounced like "ther" more so, but you can just say "there" if you want to. it's only based on context, so it shouldn't make a difference.
Kid challenged showed off his cubing skills in front of a crowd, challenging someone to beat him and then a speedcuber turns up...
Happened to me but I average around 20 sec but even then I just played on my phone till the guy finished

In my experience, when people challenge me at something I'm an expert at...they go away still thinking they're right and I'm an idiot. :|
That's what we call "real life" 😆
Yup
It's usually because they're too embarrassed to admit they were wrong.
Basically those things that you'd consider a gifted talent if you are expert at it
That's what makes them the most jealous of it all. Because they lack your talent.
But I don't get why be a c*nt to me, rather than trying to find your own talent
Isn't that called the dunning kruger effect or something?

I once caught a student of mine playing Yu-Gi-Oh duel links while in class. I took his phone and closed the app. He realized that I knew the game so he challenged me to a duel. We started playing and he was confident that he would beat me easily. 5 wins (for me) and one "drowning mirror force" later he left the classroom screaming. The only thing I regret is that this happened in the end of the year so I didn't get to enjoy being salty with him in class.
Heh, mine if i try my luck? Got some spicy deck to try here.
Why does this sound like me as a teacher XD
Bro hitting him with the Wall of D and Drowning 😂😂😂
I was challenged by 3 kids in an arcade to a race. We played on the Wangan Midnight arcade machine and picked our cars. They all picked the fastest cars, Lambo, Ferrari etc. I picked the AE86 and they all laughed saying: "Oh that's an old car", " That's a slow car". Little did they know, I had a membership card and the 86 upgraded to the max. The race starts, and I purposefully set myself to last place and watched their every move. They were focused on the race and one of them looked at my screen and was shocked that I was still behind them. He then told his buddies to look behind them and sure enough, they were shocked that I was still behind. Fast forward to the end, I was still behind and they were focused on the race. The last 1KM appeared on the screen and as soon as I saw an opening, I hit the gas and blew right past them. They were trying desperately to catch up to me but I was so far ahead. I crossed the finish line and the 3 of them asked me how an old car can catch up to new cars. I simply said that I'm a pro at this game and walked away like nothing happened.
This happened 2 years ago and still gives me a smile when I think about it.
This is the plot of initial d lol
I was just going to random arcade at mall and finally got my sit on a race game, beside a kid who play that game for hours, and he challenge me for a race.
and I was like: "this kid sit hours and he even use a van as his car, he gonna fuck me up"
and at this moment that I knew, I really fuck up

I'm an avid gamer, though unless I am talking to another gamer it isn't something I talk about much. I adored the combat in the Batman Arkham games and got to the point where I was pretty much untouchable. I went over to a friend's house and he'd gotten it recently and was bragging about his score on the challenge mode. Cut to fifteen minutes later and I've obliterated his score and am still going. There is a group of people watching at this point. I remember someone saying that I was just lucky and button mashing, then someone else says to look at my hands and that everything I'm doing is on purpose. I spent the rest of the night coaching my friends on how to play. Probably the greatest moment I've had as a gamer.
Arkham has the best fighting!!
Yeah i sucked when I first tried it at my friends house, now when a group of like 50 people fight me im able to kick all of their asses
The Arkham games is probably my favorite game series
I have played the first 2 games (don't have ps4 for the 3rd one), one day i tried to play the new game of god of war in a promo at a mall, i hated it, i was so accustumed to the Batman fighting mecanics that i just kept screwing things up, because of the diferences in what the comands do.
@@felipechacon4568 I'm going to say something controversial here, but Arkham Knight was my favorite of the series. I even enjoyed the batmobile sections. I get you though man, right now I'm playing nioh 2 and also going through the coop on ghost of tsushima with a friend. The switch in controls messes with me every time.
Some kid in the barracks once challenged me to guitar hero in front of my then girlfriend and a couple friends not knowing I've won competitions. I put on TTFATF and he sees my score and claims I must've done it on no fail mode. We start the game, I get up walk out with my wireless controller and continue to play without looking at the screen.. guy thinks I have a modded controller or that his controller is broke because our scores are so far apart. I switch to player 2 with his guitar, pass my score while never looking at the screen. Guy tries to fight me afterwards.. he lost that to..
Hold up
put him in his place
that happened

Not an expert, but I entered a talent show when I was a freshman in university playing guitar and singing. A guy who was in the Corps with me and his ego said that he was going to wipe the floor with me. He played piano, quite well actually. I told him that I might not win the whole thing, but I was going to shut him up.
I won the whole thing and shut him up. We were both music majors and he ended up changing his major.
💀💀💀
Well no, he probably didn't change his major cause you beat him in some useless talent show lmao.
@@TunaIRL lol I wasn’t suggesting that. He actually is doing very well in the business world. I’m happy for him.
Well, the thing for talent shows is they are usually rigged and very subjective
The doctor and the gym teacher one made me so happy. It was very sweet-
My major was creative weighting for 3 years, I was taking a small class I needed to graduate. I sat next to this guy who was typing slowly on his laptop. I asked his what he was doing, trying to make pleasant conversation, and he glared at me saying ‘IM writing a novel, you wouldn’t understand’. I’m not the cleverest seeming person when it comes to my speech patterns and clothing choices. I have a slouch and generally seem laid back from what I’ve heard.
This guy had written 2 pages and made many basic writing mistakes. I asked if I could read it and he said ‘This is too advanced for basic people.’
He proceeds to start talking about story structure and how he should be in higher classes than the one he was in. So what do I do? I start asking questions that any part time author would likely know. He seemed dumbfounded, and started to deflect the questions. I proceeded to inform him of the gaps that where already appearing in his story. The look on his face was priceless.
Honestly you did this guy a favor. Learning from our mistakes is the first step toward success and that guy clearly didn't know or didn't want to acknowledge his mistakes.
"Oh look, that's the Milky Way!"
"That's not the Milky Way, that's a cloud..."
"Dad, I'm an astrophycisist, THAT'S the Milky Way!"
This was my younger cousin to me, except he said “I’m actually Jesus, and that’s the Milky Way!”
When I was a kid, I lived in a rural area and the Milky Way was visible on most clear nights. We moved to a city when I was 13. The milky way was not visible there and when I purchased a good telescope in 1985 and finally went to a dark sky area, I almost didn't recognize the sky because of the hundreds of new visible stars. I noticed a white "cloudy" band area going almost overhead. At first I thought it was a cloud before realizing it was the Milky Way I had not seen in years.
@@swindeplease be satire
just in case it is not satire, we are IN the milkyway
@@nameless......................
I am AWARE that we are in the Milky Way Galaxy. However when you speak of the "Milky Way" as a stargazer, it is an actual feature in the sky that changes with the seasons. In the summertime when you look toward Sagittarius, you are gazing toward the center of the Galaxy. In the winter, as you look at the milky way, it it quite a bit less dense as you look toward Orion, you are looking toward the Galaxy's outer regions. The Milky Way appears as a soft band of light in the sky, and that is the reason for the name.
@@nameless...................... Really? We can't see it just because we're in it? I think you've just proven the point of this video.
Bro the guy at 4:23 has impeccable english for someone who's not a native speaker damn
When I first read your comment I thought to myself ( "that's how a lot of non-natives speak actually") but I decided to re-read it and yeah, dude's studied English and practiced it.
Just a very weird brag to me. Obviously a person who knows english that well would also know how legible his text is.
Dude from what I gather most foreign people have better English than most English people
@@djimma5080 that's not possible. I'm not a native either and my English is pretty good, but it's no where near a native individual's English.
@@andrewwoods564 Have you seen how most English people spell and construct sentences?
Most can't, ok we will speak it better but iv seen plenty of people from countries that could teach English to English people.
So I was at a bar with some friends. We were having a couple drinks and just chilling for the night when some cocky dude by the pool table yells, "$100 says I would beat anyone in this room". I used to make my money in highschool by scamming people at pool, playing a round badly, raising the stakes, and getting a nice pool of money. I told the guy at the table, "$500 and you're on" He was drunk, I wasn't there yet. I lost the first round miserably and said, "double or nothing, I was just warming up". He said sure. Ended up buying all the drinks that night with his money.
wouldn't call it scamming, just brain
So dude gave you $1000 cash at a bar?
*Guy:* You wanna play smash?
*Me:* Sure
*Also me:* Did you know Ike's recovery has a super armor.
*Him:* .....

so I’m a senior in high school and a lot of people like to challenge me in chess. most people don’t know that I was a two time state chess champion in middle school. Im definitely rusty because I haven’t played competitively since then but I still have a lot of the chess knowledge I had obtained from studying it so much. I have only been beaten by one person at my current school and I blame it on me being sleep deprived lol, but we’re pretty equal in skill and I’ve beaten him almost an equal amount of times as he’s beaten me
The air rifle story was cool. It sounds like the guy who got his ass whooped was a good sport about it too, if they shoot together now! 👍
In seventh grade my Social Studies teacher (Best and funniest teacher ever) challenged us to grab a sheet of paper and name every bird we know as a sort of mini lesson on how high we set the bar for ourselves, when we tell ourselves it’s a good time to quit. I’d like you to take a look at my name. Oh, yes. Paper on desk, pencil in hand, evil smile on face, and I wrote every single fricking bird I knew (in super tiny handwriting). When the time was up, the teacher took a look around the room at how far people went. Most people wrote down five names and stopped, a couple of the more ambitious wrote around 23, and when he got to my desk... full stop. Entire page, crammed with names, every space filled. Even after the exercise had ended I kept going.
And through all this I forgot the simple chicken 🤦🏼♀️
One time a friend said to me: If you beat me at chess Ill buy you food
I started whining that he should give me more than 1 attempt then I accepted his challenge
It was after I beat him in less than 10 moves that I admitted that I am pretty good at chess
9:46 Wait, that's actually rare? I thought it was only unusual and people were hyping me up, I don't even play music that much.
even more unusual -> rare
Yea it’s very rare, a lot of musicians would kill to have perfect pitch.
As a perfect pitch person, I’ve only met 3 persons in my entire life that have it and they are all musicians
It's rare because you can only aquire it as a very small child. As soon as you learn that it exists it's too late to learn since by then you'll be above 5-6 or whatever is the latest age you can learn it at.
How though?
I know I'm a bit late but
My brother had been gifted a BB gun for christmas, and had been playing in the backyard for months. He wouldn't let me touch the bb gun. One day, he challenged me to a shoot off where we would take turns shooting cans off of our old playset. To put the story short, I got 5/5 cans. He missed every shot. I never missed.
"Did he kill your father?"
_NICE reference!_
I have no real formal training in it, just years of experience and being open to learning from others and seeking out answers to the gaps... but I have done sewing all my life, I could not name many stitches but I know where to use them, follow patterns and even make my own. I know how to work with all materials only by seeing them, I can use both a machine and hand stitching, I also do embroidery and specialise in recreating period clothing, tatting crocheting and knitting, I have had situations where people educated in the field have looked me up and down in a condescending, judging way when they find out I have no formal training or certifications, then months or years later they come to me for advice on how they would execute something brought to them that they don't know how to work with, as everyone else that they have gone to have suggested me for the more complicated things or "outdated" techniques. Working in my own field amongst schooled people who spent $1000s to get that knowledge and their printed paper with a wax stamp, I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference in "knowing" and "showing". I love it when people tell me the ONE way that something should be done only to then show them the other 20 different ways to get the same result or better and sometimes in half the time but at the same time i learn things from them where i can as well, after all "a wise man, is one knows what he does not know"

The new girl in school challenged me (who’s infamous in my school, as I’ve been in Martial Arts for years) to a fight :/

Someone from college once challenged me to do an integral. Little did he know I was the "Powerful Integral master" in highschool.
Travelling on vacation and came upon a serious car accident that happened just a few minutes before I arrived. The driver had serious life threatening injuries after being ejected from his car in a roll over crash. I always carry a fairly well equipped first aid kit in my car so I had my wife grab the kit from the trunk while I went to the victim. While checking the victims injuries and clearing his airway, a guy came up and tried to push me out of the way saying, "Out of my way! I have first aid training". I said, "I've been a Paramedic for over 20 years. You can help me or get out of my way" He apologized and we stayed, providing care, keeping the man alive until the ambulance crew arrived and took over care. I don't know if the driver survived but I was glad I was able to help at the scene of the crash.
Isnt it mandatory to have first aid training when getting a drivers license?
If not then he had a right to assume he was more qualified than you. But if it is then what was his move supposed to accomplish?
@@gewuerzwanze5627 - No first aid requirement to get a drivers license in the states I've lived in. As far as I know, no state requires first aid to get a license. Either way, I was the professional Paramedic with far greater experience and skills than he had - but his help was welcomed. As it turned out, working as a team, we were able to keep the man alive until the ambulance arrived.
I think it may be a high school graduation requirement in some states.

Once I met this stuck up person who thought she was my friend while my other friend and I were out on a walk, and she joined us without asking us if it was okay. The stuck up person always thought she was better than everyone else. We encountered a cat, and the stuck up person pushes me and my friend away saying, "Careful, it could be rabid. I can take care of this. My uncle's roommate has a cat so I know how to deal with cats. You wouldn't know" I rolled my eyes and just let her do whatever. She approached the cat and I'll never forget the look on her face when the cat jumped into my arms and she realized that it was my cat XD
Back in High School (2 or 3 years ago?), we had an “E-Sports” club for multiple games. I joined the League of Legends and Minecraft teams. I was the kid that would always walk home straight away (E-Sports club was online only) and play Solo Q or speed run MC for 12 hours just to sleep at 4 am.
The team usually meets online, but once a week we have to have a meeting in school. The school year had just started and we got a lot of freshmen coming in. I was scrimming with the League team online, and I hear behind me, “Holy sh*t! They have a League team.” Another voice rings out, “Yo I bet I could beat their mid laner 1v1.”
So, after the game, the guy asks who’s the team’s mid laner was (me), and challenged me to a 1v1. Same champions, items, etc. I was no professional, but statistically I was still top 1% being in masters. Wiped the dude on my main, Talon, then on his main, Victor, then 3 more games with random champions that I let him pick. It was fun.
2nd half of the club, I took a break from

My story: I was top 5000 in beat saber, but not many of my friends even know i had a vr at the time. I'm at my friends house, and he tries to flex his beat saber skills on me. I said he's pretty good, and he said "I'd like to see you do better." I got almost double his score... He wants a rematch, and we play a really hard one. Easily clapped.
14:27 This one hurt my brain. I have never taken any sort of psychological course or class, and I have never seen the movie Split, and even I know that it wasn't 100% accurate. They did get some things correct, but it was nowhere near what DID (dissociative identity disorder) is truly like. I have never met anyone with DID, but I have been a fan of looking up random mental disorders because one of my hobbies is writing short stories, so I once spend about three hours researching DID. That was about a year ago.
A friend of mine challenged me in a game of laser tag, I consider myself pretty good at it . In order to humiliate him I decided to win through melee kills only. I have 1 less friend now.

I was walking around a local round 1 when I notice a crowd at a Dance Dance Revolution Cabinet. He had just finished an easy song and he gave obnoxious remarks about how good he is. Of course his friends cheered but then he noticed me watching him and challenged me to face each other. He said I can choose any song. That was a mistake because I played this game for a long time. Ended up destroying him with songs on hard difficulty. When we finished, I just walked away while the dude with his friends just argued and complained. Best moment I had.
I, a comp sci student who has gottten A’s in Calc 1, 2, 3, diffy, and liney, did some financial math quickly in my head for my step dad. He replies with, “No that’s not right. There’s no way that’s right. Do the math, kid.” We argued for 2 or 3 minutes. My mom was doing the math on a calculator, and said, “he’s right.” I, someone who never talked back to elders before my traumatic brain injury, blurted out, *”Yeah (stepdad’s name), DO THE MATH!!”* Let’s just say he wasn’t happy with this.
Renaissance fair 2015. I was a huge sword nerd, I overheard a man talking about how his sword was a perfect 16th century replica, me a 15 year old told him it was 15th century because the hilt isn't rounded correctly, he told me I'm too young and i couldn't possibly know, I told him I have the same sword and indeed do know what I'm talking about.
Now listen to this, in a LARP shop there was this salesman who tried to convince some kids that:

We had a potluck at my class once, it was the last day of school. I have been cooking at home since i was 7 and am pretty good at it. ( We were all 15 ).

I got somewhat good pitch. Depending on the instrument. When you play an instrument for a while you learn to know what notes sound like. Also wasn’t Mozart depth?
No Mozart was hight
Beethoven was deaf though
If I remember right Mozart _became_ deaf few years before dying

I was a dama (basically a female in her court) for my best friends Quinceanera. She put me in charge of teaching everyone the surprise dance because I have relatively 14 years of experience dancing. One of the other damas refused any help I tried to give her (because she had taken a ballet class before she obviously knew what she was doing 🙄) so I just stopped giving help and by the time we had to perform, she ended up looking like an idiot constantly messing up while the rest of us (who listened and took my advice when they screwed up) performed the choreography perfectly.

We used to have these 2 remotes for different cable boxes and tvs, programmed so they only worked for a certain tv. They were exactly the same but my sister could feel them and somehow tell which was which. She claims the backs felt different but I suspect she is a witch.
I took an engineering degree & one of the classes during freshman year was basic programming. We were all split to groups in pairs & assigned simple tasks (like "Hello World!") with each computer in lab. As our IDE was DevPascal back then, every code you run & execute will store a file in the local comp
Now majority of my classmates were lost, but I've always been interested & often dabbled with tech stuffs thus was able to catch up right away. My partner & I executed the tasks perfectly when the lab instructor suddenly showed up behind us, told us to move to another computer, deleted all past code files in local drive, then told us we can resume using the old computer before walking away. My lab partner who was watching everything realized he might've thought we were plagiarizing someone else's codes. We were furious as we have been doing everything ourselves from scratch, but it's not something we can bring up casually, so we kept silent & let it pass
Next class, I was teaching my partner on a newly assigned task before the same lab instructor showed up again & split us apart, telling me to sit somewhere far back in the lab. I was confused so when he walked past I asked why did he do that, he reply: "you were both too noisy". Flabbergasted I told him I was teaching my friend but without trying to understand nor any apology he just said "nevermind that now" & continued walking away
Following class, dude decided to show codes on the big screen & required the class to answer the output of each set of codes. The first few questions were easy, until came a trap question. First person tried answering & got it wrong, same went for the second & third person. I could see a grin spreading across that dude's face as he leaned back against the wall with his arms crossed, shouting "wrong" gleefully each time. Then I raised my hands & answered, "it's a loop". His smug grin disappeared almost immediately, asked "...what? Again?" I repeated my answer, to which he looked really displeased & said, "yes correct, it's a loop"
Dude never messed with me ever again. Also during attendance taking period by end of each class he would usually shout students' names that are displayed on big screen, students will raise their hands & he would mark our names as present, but somehow ever since then dude would mark my attendance without having to shout my name lol
*TL;DR arrogant instructor thought I was plagiarizing someone else's work, later got upset when I proved I understood the whole subject*
Okay, that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air one was perfect.
I was 9 and my dad challenged me to tell him the scientific name for fingers

My cousins remembered that as kids, they were always able to beat me at video games, especially Mario kart wii and Smash Bros.
Fast forward a few years, and they make some jokes about how I would always lose to a 9 and 10 year old, despite being 17 at the time.
Pause the family gathering, we need to boot up the Wii.
A few hours later and they experiencd “you have not yet seen my power” when I took them both out 4 times and had less than 40% damage while never dying.
Then I proceeded to get a perfect 60 in every Mario Kart Wii race while they couldn’t beat half the bots.
My uncle, knowing that I was majoring in Forestry and was learning a lot about plant taxonomy, thought he could trip me up by asking me to identify if things were technically a fruit or not. He thought he was so smart for knowing that things like tomatoes and peppers are fruits.
I proceeded to tell him not only what ones were fruits but the exact type of fruit they were. I did the same thing with the vegetables as well (what part of the plant they are)
He's always been an arrogant know it all so it felt really good to finally show him he doesn't actually know more than everyone else.
I had signed up to get a new coach for fencing, one of his students challenged me and he got destroyed
Not me but my mom
This happened very recently so I remember this well
Me, my mom, and my brother were doing laundry and we were sitting in the car as it was washing, and we were talking and it went to J K Rowling and Harry Potter. My brother, who was sitting in the back, claimed that my mom knew nothing about Harry Potter. I told him not to challenge her as a joke (My mom loves to read) and then my mom schooled my brother by not only saying facts about Harry Potter that we didn't know- but she actually knew multiple errors in the writing that not even J K Rowling caught. We were both dumbfounded
I don’t even know what I’m a expert at
My rule of thumb is if they can remember their chess rating. They're probably good enough to beat 90% of people
true lol

Doodling for me. The first year I met my best friend, we would do quick sketches during our study hall. The first drawing challenge we did against each other took up about one period (50 min). We each had to draw an original transformer with a B2 Stealth Bomber alt. mode. He drew what more resembled a dark blob while I ended up with an actually decent looking knight. A little later that year, we challenged each other to draw something the other person liked. He had to draw a dragon for me, and I had to draw an anime girl for him (I am weird, but I hate anime. Sue me.) I had never drawn one before. He drew a snake with wings. I went all out. Fast forward to as I am writing this, my transformers have insanely improved to the point where individual gears, cogs, wires, and pistons are all picked out. I even redrew my stealth bomber knight (now named phantom) with ridiculous detail. About halfway through the school year, and their is a Latin project where we had to draw our own made up gods. My fellow classmates begin comparing their drawings on the day the project is due. One comes up to me and says, “You better not have drawn the next Mona Lisa.” A few moments later, he is walking away saying, “Ok, ...insert my name here..., you drew the next Mona Lisa.” Next, one of my new friends came over and his immediate reaction was, “Holy crap!” I love being able to draw.
A friend challenged me near a cliff about having a worse life, Oh boy did he fail by a landslide
One time I was playing pong at the ping pong club and I was beating everyone I went up against. Then when facing one of the players he slammed the ping pong ball on my side of the table. I actually managed to return it despite the ball moving so fast. He had his arms up in the air celebrating and then I informed him that I return his shot and it was my point. He didn't believe me. Then I convinced him because the ping pong ball was on his side of the room.
guy: "whoaa! I beat him guys!"
you: "I just return it to you"
guy: "no, how? you're lying"
you: "'behind you"
guy: sweating
Someone challenged me to a game of FLIP without knowing I have done gymnastics for 5 years.
People always say I’m mean-looking, and I’m naturally quiet, so most don’t converse with me. I see a guy flexing his biceps and challenging people to arm wrestle. He comes over to my desk and plants his elbow on my textbook, so I oblige him. While he’s nursing his hand he tries to say I cheated: so I took off my baggy hoodie, flexed, and smiled.
One day my friend said that he knew more memes than me, I opened mematic and he questioned me about the meme formats, I knew all of them except 2, he never said it again

I work at a pizza place, and some of the guys were racing each other on how fast they could fold a pizza box. They got like 8-10 seconds a box. They challenged me and BOY DID THE REGRET IT. I finished my box in almost under 5 seconds. We raced to finish 10 boxes. I got 1:02, they got 2:15... I’m the pizza king

My mum says I have perfect pitch, but I don’t think so, I can just tell when you are singing or playing notes and cords correctly.
I can also play songs on piano and drums just by listening to it once or twice
Ah yes, the classic way of bragging by denying a skill you just named.
@@tobortwo3697 no it’s odd, people tell me I have perfect pitch but I think it’s just my autism
@@workseed3036 I never said it was odd lmao, what are you on about
@@tobortwo3697 Yeah hes right though mate, perfect pitch is more than what he described. I can sing a song in any key after playing it once or twice but im nowhere even close to perfect pitch.

Don't know if I can say I'm much of an expert at it currently, but I am really passionate about basketball and really want to pursue it as my career (and I do have other plans as well). 2 years ago, I was putting in a lot of work going into my senior year and I was improving fast with the help of a few friends who saw my weaknesses. My history with high school basketball is that a lot of people thought I couldn't even play. I was one of those funny guys that people didn't take seriously. I tried out for the team and didn't make it, but somehow the Coach allowed the players to 1v1 a player who already made the team. I saw this one dude who didn't even come to tryouts. He was pretty known as a decent basketball player meanwhile, no one thought I was good at all except for my friends who know how I actually played. People placed their bets and if I won, I took his spot. I was 5'8 130 lbs, he was 6'1 150 lbs. So obviously I had to beat him with skill and not strength. He was talkin' shit too before the game started. There was a 10 minute timer. I beat him 10-3 and yes, we went by 1 point even if it was a 3 point I shot. Coach didn't think I could win either, he looked mad pissed when I won actually. And almost everyone was in shock as well.
The second one is- embarrassing for the teacher, at least the father knows that the teacher cares about their students.
Q: When did someone challenge you at something you were an expert at?
My Answer: None, bcoz I don't have a skill that I would call "Good" let alone "Expert"
One time, I drew meme man and someone said "I hope you know that you forgot his suit and tie." I responded confidently "I hope you know that meme man doesn't have a suit and tie unless it's the stonks version. Other versions such as mafs or scienz or even just forward facing meme man have no suit and tie." I'm still proud of my education in memes 🤣
Whenever someone challenges me to Smash Ultimate. Little do they know I play 4 hours a day, and 2 years of that adds up pretty quickly. So yeah, unless it my bro’s friend or one of my cousins I wipe the floor with them. (Unless it’s a game of 6, 7, or 8 people, then it’s anyone’s guess who’s gonna win.)

Some fake JoJo fan asked me to explain the Main JoJo family tree, not counting SBR and JoJolion, as they weren't a manga reader and also a partskipper. I felt good that day.
ive been playing mario kart ever since i was 7/8 years old. fast forward to when i was a sophomore in high school, i was invited to a classmates birthday party and they had a wii set up with mario kart on it. i asked if i could play mario kart for a bit after some of the other kids were playing a couple races. i beat them very easily. then the birthday girl saw how well i was doing and challenged me to a race(claiming that she was really good). needless to say by the end of the race i had lapped her and then i kinda felt bad cause this was her party, house and game and i won easily in front of all of our peers
should have gone off the track "by accident" for her

When I first started dating my bf, we went to his hunting club to camp w his hunting buddies. They were all shooting their shot guns at paper plate targets set up about 50 yards away. They were hooting n hollering and finally one asked if I wanted to try. Now, ive been using my own 870 12g pump since I was big enough to hold it, so I said ok, without telling them my experience. They all were laughing and nudging each other while watching my bf explain the shot gun to me. They must have thought It would be like one of those funny videos online where the girl gets knocked w the recoil. So I stayed silent. They all moved away as I acted unsure. I made a few innocent comments on how to shoot it and they ate it up. Finally, I was like ok , here we go and stuck the stock deep in my shoulder. I then let out a breath and continuously pump and squeeze. 5 shots. 5 targets. Nailed em. After the final shell I then expelled it and tossed the 12g to my bf and stated, " oh yeah, I got my own pump at home" . The looks on their faces. ( priceless) After a few moments of silence my bfs cuz say, "dude, ur girl can shoot..."
Yup. Pew pew muda fukas.

Train guy here.
A kid came up to me while I was watching trains one day and started talking to me about how EMD makes the best locomotives ever and that General Electric makes useless garbage. I shook my head and told him that no engine with 4,000 horsepower should have only 107,000 lbs of tractive effort and had no business being on the main line pulling 20,000 ton trains. The kid exclaimed that there was no way I could possibly know that and that I didn’t know anything about trains.
Now, I was standing there wearing cargo shorts, sandals, and a meme t-shirt with no radio scanner and no camera or tripod. I looked for the world like a casual passerby and not someone there to watch trains. I turned to him and revealed that I’m an FRA Certified Freight Conductor for the railroad whose trains we were watching and was on one of my Federally-mandated two off days after taking my sixth consecutive trip.
Needless to say he was speechless. I further told him that the line we were at was the route I travel on a regular basis and worked the train that had just passed (a loaded auto train) on a regular basis as well. I grilled him on basic rules and Conductor procedures for a bit, too, and I imagine that humbled him nearly as much as learning what I did for a living.
High school student here. We have some conspiracy theorists kids in class that tried to explain why masks don't work etc. Bro, my parents are both doctors, and we genuinely discuss about that stuff at home, so I obviously know a lot more than ppl who did a 5 minute Facebook research

I used to be a dancer. It was the ONE THING I was ever really good at.
Some "Chad" walks up to me one night at a club I was at like 4 nights a week, and challenged me to dance.
It was right when I got there, and early on in the night, so the DJ was still warming up for when more people showed up.
I'm assuming the guy went to the bathroom, or something, because he wasn't around for a bit. One of the group he was with came up to me and said they had seen me dance at a few different clubs, and had been talking about "the dancer" to their friend on the way there. They told me not to let him see how good I was, because he couldn't really "dance." He literally knew ONE MOVE that even a small child could do, and that he was always acting like he was "the sh*t" when they went out, because he knew this move. It was basically the crip walk.
About 2hrs later I was on the dance floor talking to the DJ, and dude comes up to me, and had the balls to say, "You ready to get served?" Sh*t was cringe af.
I asked the DJ to play "Yeah!" by Usher, and I let him go first. His "crip walk" was about as cringe as his "get served" line.
He finished "dancing," and all his friends were right there at the inner part of the circle.
I absolutely destroyed the man. Not only did I do the actual dance from 'Yeah!', but freestyled for a bit afterward.
I moonwalked back to my side, and stood there waiting for him to "dance" again. Instead of just admitting defeat, he did his garbage crip walk again. He got booed by EVERYONE that wasn't laughing hysterically at him.
After the song, he came up to me and said, "Well, I have a job, so I don't have to time to practice as much as you do."
My response? "I have a job, too. Aside from being a paid dancer, I teach dance classes, and choreography. When I'm not doing that I'm giving idiots in clubs lessons for free."
