“As Much As You Make In A Year”: 71 Arrogant People Who Managed To Do Something Deeply Cringe

I was working at a summer camp, and the lifeguard there thought he was God's gift to women. We were cleaning up the lake shore one night, which involved putting all the boats up on land etc. One of the younger girls was trying to delicately get the water out of one of the kayaks. The lifeguard went over and said, "not like that, like this" and he lifted the kayak over his head to drain the water.

The reason she was being careful with it is because it was full of urine. A kid urinated in the kayak and now that urine was all over the lifeguard. He screamed. We laughed... a lot.

One of my better camp memories.

At an art show, I was helping this guy hang up his pictures because I needed the leveler he was using to hang mine. So, I thought I had the hang of how to get the pictures straight and equadistant from each other and was doing it pretty quickly. When we were done, I exclaimed "Alright, you're hung, now nail me." as I held a nail up against the wall.



The entire room burst into laughter.

My mum just bought be a biker jacket and Liar Liar was just being advertised for cinema. I thought it would be cool if a started talking in a cockney accent and asking "av yew seen the new Loir Loir movie Guvna " I kept it up for about 3 days until my mum finally took the jacket off of me.

I was a 7 year old Scottish girl.

When I was 15 I wore a newsboy cap and a sweater vest, trying to capture a "throwback" look. In pictures, I look like a skinny kid dressed up as a nursing home resident.

I was working out pretty late at night and I was alone at the gym. A younger - and very skinny guy, maybe 18, comes in with his girlfriend. It's just the three of us in a fairly decent sized gym. I have my headphones on, but the volume isn't up that high. So I guess they assumed I couldn't hear what they were saying. I should note the girl was dressed up with a skirt and heels, and the guy had jeans, a white baseball hat, and a popped collar polo shirt. The perfect workout attire.

I'm doing bench press, and the girlfriend asks the guy if he could do the weight I was doing. He immediately says he could do that easily, and proceeds to rack up the weight on a bench press next to mine. He lays down and starts to try moving the weight. He's struggling immensely just to get the weight off the rack, so I start paying attention because I know what's coming. Sure enough, he gives a monster push, arching his back with his feet planted, and manages to get the weight off the rack and above the chest. He manages to hold it there for roughly a second before it comes crashing down on his chest. His girlfriend is trying to lift the weight off him while the guy is struggling and kicking his legs all over the place. I rush over and lift the weight off him. He didn't say a word, didn't even put his weights away, just rushed out of the gym with his girlfriend never to be seen again.

Some kid was leaning to my friend's Porsche and talking to some girl. My friend said something like "Hey nice car, how much did it cost" and the kid said "As much as you make in a year" ... That's when my friend took the key and opened the doors. The girl laughed pretty hard and the kid just left.

Way back in high school a friend and I were out with some girls. He decided he would go pick up some liquor. At the time he was 16, legal age here is 19. So to make himself look a little older he puts on his leather jacket and then takes my glasses and puts them on thinking it will make him look older. I am talking perscription and not sunglasses. He then proceeded to walk straight into the glass door of the liquor store bc he could barely see. We thought it was pretty funny.

My 15 year old brother and his friends broke into the grounds of their old primary school and climbed on the *roof* to play.

At the end of the game they were playing, all of my brother's friends were chasing him...he was running toward the edge of the roof and they were close behind.

In a *remarkably* misjudged attempt to look cool, he decided to "James Bond" it up, slide over the edge of the roof, grab hold of the edge and then drop to the ground... It was both misjudged in the fact that it is a dumb idea *in general*, but *the previous day* he had gotten a cast of his wrist, which was still very weak.

He grabbed the ledge, his weak wrist couldn't hold his weight and he fell, shattering one of his elbows and his other wrist.

He was brought to the hospital and fixed up, then the guards had to call him in for a talk about trespassing, and he had to go to the principal of the school and apologise for what he had done.

The idiot.

Was carefully driving along a dangerously snow covered country road and some [jerk] in a merc was tailgaiting me and flashing his lights at me to go faster. Eventually he overtook and blasted off round the bend.

About 15 minutes later I passed the guy standing next to his [wrecked] car which had unsurprisingly slid off the road and smashed into a wall. Fortunately for him he looked unhurt but his car looked like a write off. I laughed. And didn't stop to help him, whoops.

One time I was riding my bike from school and taking my time kinda, getting a good workout. I noticed a skateboarder coming up from behind me really working to get ahead of me. He looks over at me as he goes by and my passing thought is that he's probably trying to prove something working so hard to get ahead if the girl. Just after he passes me he takes his board up onto the sidewalk and runs into a patch of bumps meant to guide pedestrians. He flies off his board and crashes face first between a cement trash can and a wall, knocking the trashcan aside with the force of his fall. I saw the whole thing and had a big "oh [snap]" moment as I pull my bike aside to help him out. There was a nice pool of blood on the ground already from the blood from his nose. He was really embarrassed and worried a lot that he chipped his tooth. Me and a couple guys nearby called the appropriate people and brought him napkins and water while we waited for people to arrive.

A few years back my best friend bought a Ducati superbike which he was insanely proud of. The first week he had it, he was getting ready to ride home from his job one evening, and he noticed a couple of hot girls chatting outside the office - so he decided he'd wheelie away from a standing start to impress them.

Only... he'd left his security lock attached to the front wheel, so instead of wheelying into the distance, he just flipped the bike onto its side, causing a few hundred pounds worth of damage.

I had a friend get all crazy at a club we were in, who jumped up on the bar to dance only to get hit in the head with a ceiling fan that was turning, knocking her off.

I was walking behind this guy in my high school. XL shirt, pants low. They were SO low, in fact, that they fell down. I silently noted that day as a victory against gangsta pants.

A guy in my high school wanted to see how far he could launch a watermelon off the roof of his car. He placed it on the roof, got the car going as fast as he could and slammed the brakes. The watermelon went a full 3 feet forward and landed hard on the hood of the car making a huge dent.

A friend of mine used to like getting drunk and running his mouth at frat kids back in college. One night he's yelling across the street, telling some jerk to put both his collars down because he looked like an idiot. As he's yelling he's looking across the street and walks straight into a lamp post and goes down hard. Despite it being my friend, it was awesome.

I was shooting pool in a laid-back dive bar, some people around, but nothing crazy. All of the sudden, it occurred to me that most people around the table had quieted down and were watching my next shot. The shot happened to be a jump-bank shot, which I made. At once, everyone goes "ohhhhh." And I'm like, "yeah." I lean over and pop in the 8-ball, FTW.

Then I realized: I still had one more ball on the table.

Middle school, I finally got the chance to hang out with a girl that I liked. I rode my bike to her house. She had a half circle driveway that went downhill. I tried to be cool and come flying down the driveway to skid to a stop. Unfortunately, when I skidded, my bike flew out from under me and I hit the pavement chest first, knocking the wind out of me, and slid down the rest of the hill on my face. I tried so hard to pretend not to be hurt, but that is tough to do when you are gasping for breath in a torn shirt with bleeding road rash across the entire front of my body.

There was this really arrogant guy I was taking a lab with. When the professor went up to his and his partner's bench, he asked the professor, "So, are we pretty much ahead of everyone else in the class?" and the professor said "Nope".

I drive a highly tuned Mazda RX-8 and it's clear what it is. Anyway, a Corvette with the obligatory gf pull up to the light and the guy starts revving. I do my racing on a track but I did push the pedal once to see how far he'd go. The light goes green, he dumps the clutch, smokes the rear wheels until they catch, and roars across the intersection. And loses control a few car lengths later and ploughs into the side of a parked car...as I slowly drove past well below the speed limit. Silly rabbit...

In middle school I got the idea that I would be really cool if I acted mysterious. So I spent recess just looking out of the window intensely. Then this girl finally asked me what I was looking at.

"A bird", I said. She asked me where it was. I answered: "Oh, it's not a real bird. It's just in my mind."

I thought she would find me really deep and cool.

She probably just thought I was insane.
