What are some weird flexes that people are proud of, but shouldn't be? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.

This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it's just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you've driven away someone who could've been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.

There's nothing prideful about this to flex over.

I was a department manager who shared office space with another department. One of the guys from the other department came in bragging that he had been throwing up all morning but was able to come into work. I told him he either needed to sit somewhere else or go home because I’m not risking my health or the health of my colleagues/associates because of his dumbassery. He eventually went home after I gave him a verbal dressing down that his manager backed me up on.

So selfish to come into work sick like that!
