The first instance of bullsh!ttery came whilst I was playing League of Legends. A person who had been playing the game since the beta came out was trying to tell me about how he had been playing for a really long time and he therefore knew how to do everything better than me. My first thought was... alright maybe I could just listen, but the more he talked the more I realized he had fallen prey to the evil of thinking that every team needed a set 5 designated roles and that without one a team would fail. We argued for the whole pre-game selection about this fact, and right before the game start somebody left. As if fate willed it, he wound up on the other team when the game reformed. Needless to say my team was something unconventional in the end and we slaughtered the other team without any issue and all he did was whine that it was the worst team ever. Own up to your failure and don't flaunt your ego in the first place just play the d&mn game.

The second one came from somebody who was playing World of Warcraft with me. I have been playing this one for a while, and have not gotten very good at it until the last 2 or 3 years, but I found somebody who found it necessary to state that they had been playing the same class as me since beta and therefore were going to crush me in dmg and could "teach me a few things about roguing" as he so amply put it. The fight was not a hard one, but regardless he ended up dead shortly before the end of the fight, and I was still alive and well several leaps and bounds ahead of him in dmg. He ended up raging at me in whispers despite me saying only one thing to him... "boom."

The last situation came irl when someone decided they had the brilliant idea to challenge me to a kicking contest. This occurred about a week and a half ago, and said individual is a punter for a football team. They have been kicking footballs for a very long time, and I play soccer. The thing about me is that I have a natural gift for the art of kicking things for long distances. Back to the story, he kicked his football. It was an impressive 60 yard punt more or less, good hang time and nothing wrong with it. He then proceeded to give me 3 shots to match it or beat it. My first punt landed about 5 yards shy of his mark, but the hang time was about a full second longer than his. My second punt was a solid strike and I cleared his mark by easily 10 yards. He was baffled and could not understand how I did it. I told him to think nothing of it that I just had a knock for kicking, but he stormed off pretty angry and not knowing what had just hit him.

This is not to toot my own horn, just to prove the long known fact that people still do not seem to understand. Just because you have experience and have done something for a long time; doesn't mean you are good at it, or that somebody better isn't gonna come out and beat you back into your place. So for future reference, before you pick a fight with somebody on any old thing because you are confident with your skill. Realize they have a chance of laying you out and don't be a prick about it... Really think about what you are doing, because I am sick of you all. Get off your ego's and thinking your experience is skill and L2P. Or better yet, just turn tail and go before you get to me. I don't want to deal with you anyways, got better things to turn my ears to.
