Humble bragging

[Feckingfeck]

I have only come across this term on MN but i think I wintessed it first hand... whats it all about?

Family in lemur enclosure at zoo talking to keeper.

Keeper "you can get a little closer if you want"

Woman "we don't need too thanks we honey mooned in Madagascar so we have seen so many lemurs up close"

Keeper "oh okay, bet that was great"

Woman "it was amaaaazing... we could hear them all around our cabin at night aaaaahahahahhaha" (not sure why this was funny- but apparently it was hilarious)

Don't get me wrong I wasn't jealous in the slightest... nothing i would be creeped out by more than animals at night...

It just felt like one up man ship at its finest. I mean why go in there if you only want to belittle the experience

Whats the worst humble brag you have witnessed?

This one made me choke on my sarnie (lobster of course!)😂

@Iknowthisdickhead i now DESPERATELY want to view this Instagram 😂

"It can be awful speaking 10 languages such as I - I overheard two Italian men talking about how peachy my arse is the other day and obviously I understood every word - they were so shocked when I told them to "Vaffanculo"!

<Adds Italian to the list of languages I can now tell people to go and off themselves in>

Cheers! Thanks for that Tryhard

*EFF themselves

I swear to God Autocarrot I will make to pay for this

Ok but the comments on it 😂

But seriously how is that even journalism? They literally put screenshots of comments then fill the page by copying and pasting each of the comments they took a photo of

You could use a 🐀 for the brown ones . . .

<helpful>

@NippyWoowoo

😂 I think I'm most proud about getting "fecking feck" into a newspaper 😂 second only to "feck off with yourself"

@SchadenfreudePersonified

Was expecting a lemur expert to correct me brown ones comment.... perhaps lemur lady herself 😮 imagine if she read this ..... although she probably wouldn't realise its her, most A holes don't 🥸

Brown ones ....🦫

OMG JUST FOUND A LEMUR EMOJIIII

🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝

Skunks, rats and raccoons - the perfect lemur substitutes!

We really do need a wider range of zoological emojis.

A lion and a wildebeest might have cut it at one time, but David Attenborough has raised our awareness level so much that people just won't accept blanket predators/ ungulates/lemurs any more.

😄😄😄

We don't accept blanket ungulates anymore 😂😂😂

I think the lack of ginger emojis is also tragic... a forgotten "race"

There are 2 dragon emojis, a feather is amongst the animals 🤨🤨🤨 and even a dodo!! 🦤

Well, nobody's going to post "Olivia is 8 today. She's clumsy, a bit selfish, and can be a right b*tch if she's in a bad mood. Only ten more years until she moves out!" on their kids birthday, are they?

Well that’s rather the point of FB isn’t it. People only post the very best most carefully curated snapshots of their lives!

😂

Alternative facebook would be hilarious!

A mum on a FB group: 'My 3.5 year old can reads small chapter books, counts to 300 forwards and backwards, can do 2 digit sums and subtractions, is currently learning times tables.
I'd like to ask for advice on what else can I do to support his development, as I'm not very good at stimulating him.
Please don't tell me to take him out to playgrounds, he gets loads of outdoor play. Thanks'

I was surprised that a few people replied with suggestions.

The correct reply is "It depends. Are you a guest or in the galley?"
