Shameless Bragging and Oneupsmanship Thread


BTW

Recommended Posts

Like the title says, there's lots of opportunities to slip in a humble-brag here and there in a post, but I believe it will be entertaining for us to have a place where one make their fellow posters question their life choices.

I'll start off with some low hanging fruit: Thanks almost entirely to @RCRanger03 I've made enough money reading in the Penny $tonk thread to pay off my mortgage (not that I've actually done that though).

P.S. This site has rules, so if you talk about how hot your wife/SO is or tell a story about the 3-some you participated in last weekend ... then its pics or GTFO

So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I said “Hey, lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”  And he says, “Oh, uh,  there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” so I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

I have been to 31 different countries, most multiple times due to work.  This has provided me the opportunity to see and experience what most people will never have the opportunity to do.  I do not qualify for a stimulus check either.  I am faux rich! 

Goddamnit. You took mine. I've been to all but one inhabited continent - for work and pleasure.

None of my blood relatives or relatives in any extended capacity attended atm or an atm system school as far as I'm aware. 

I can one up that.... All the above and none of them are in a mental institution or correctional facility... Way easier to get into atm than into the penal system now a days..

I have never posted on the threads about cars, watches, clothing, golf clubs, airline mileage status, or boats.  I don't have anything of stature in those categories and I've lived 44 years on this planet and just never understood people's fascination with stuff.  It's all the Sarasota McMansion to me.

I’m an extremely fair-skinned hispanic, an absolute killer combo when it comes to dating (no joke). I have a great personality/sense of humor to boot. Back in high school my nickname was “loser” because all the girls would lose their virginities to me. I can still pull dimes but I’ve calmed down a lot in recent years. Running joke in my social circle is that if you have a girlfriend it’s because I let you have her.

You made me curious about the number of countries I've worked in and visited. I've never counted them. I've been to 30 countries on 5 continents. I worked in 8 of them. I'm tired and retired. As a result, those numbers won't increase much. 

I think we've done our part on this thread.

I still have about 10 years before I retire so there is still some time to get some more under my belt.  Plus there are a few countries that I want to visit as simply a tourist.  Some of the countries that I visited for business have also been covered as a tourist as well.  Covid has restricted my travel for the past year to just domestic travel just like most everyone else.

I have been to six continents.  Unless the World Governments open up mining in Antarctica I do not see hitting all seven continents.

I was fortunate enough to be the guy contacted by this Nigerian Prince who is in trouble and needs my help.  All I had to do was just send him 10k, that i get back in 6 weeks, with an additional 11.2 million for just helping him out during this time.

Just spitballing' here,  but if you were the laziest son of a bitch, wouldn't you be too lazy to post on this thread ?

Fool, it’s my hired man posting on this thread.  My proxy, or sock if you will.  I can’t even type, as I’m too lazy to cut my fingernails.

You lost me at boats.

The travelling and time away from home put some wear and tear on me. However, I know I'm very fortunate to have seen so much of the planet. We took our son on trips whenever we could, both to different parts of the US and to Mexico, Costa Rica, much of Europe, and east Africa. My dad had a "travelling bone", too, and took my sister and I all over the place on vacations, when he could - most of the US, Mexico, Canada, and almost all of Europe, including eastern Europe. Seems to run in his family.
