    What makes you so smug you end up smilin to yourself for what others would consider 'no reason'?

    Being smarter than your workmates?
    Getting laid 1st thing in the morning before work?
    A compliment from someone?
    Wolf whistles?
    Your partner?
    Cutting someone off in the car?
    Farting in public & getting away with it?
    Finishing a game you've been playing?
    Fixing something that was broken (whether you had broken it or not)?
    etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc....

    I'm just a super smug person in general.
    Anything i do pretty much makes me all warm & glowing inside.
    It's probably a bad thing but damnit who cares!?
    I'm great!

    What makes YOU smug?

    Generally its things I say. Usually one liners that suprise even myself. They can be complments, jokes, insults whatever. Usually end up laughing to myself and thinking "man that was good" :)

    Sounds mean, but you can't beat a couple having a blatent argument in the supermarket or waiting for a bus or somewhere public. its always very funny and no matter what the argument is about they always sound ridiculous.

    'No, you were supposed to plug out the kettle'

    'No I wasn't, I asked you to do it'

    'No you didn't. GAWD, you're always doing this...'

    etc etc

    lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Getting thanked for doing something that I don't think I need to be thanked for. Esp when, for some odd reason, they think it was a really great job, but it was a slackers job:cool:

    Beating someone at something I don't care about and they care alot about (rare as it is).

    great first post!

    Getting away with doing certain things. Once me and my boyf were doing "stuff" In a room with our friends and they NEVER noticed!! It was great!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    getting into a pub/club when your friend doesnt. Then you go back outside, say fúck that and go somewhere you all get in, while retaining the superior feeling.

    I LOVE that!
    Getting guided in somewhere while your mates get id'd &or rejected!
    Very smug-making stuff!

    When me & 'da mot' are out & about & everyone's all serious & we end up laughing like loons due to a stoopid joke or a well placed pinch & half the grown ups around us look & tut in our direction.
    But i know that they're just jealous that we still enjoy each others company & they're already bored of whoever it is that they're with!

    HA!

    HA!

    And you're naive enough to believe that you two won't become bored with each other some day?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack

    Why does this p1ss me off?

    Firstly, you're smug cause you earn more than your friend? ARe you a terrible friend or do you one of those intelligence complexes about people with 3rd level education?
    You call being a mechanic humble......
    You don't even know what your "biomedical engineer or something" does. But you still have the smug feeling.

    I won't continue i'm already way off topic. a new thread i will start soon.
