Maybe This Will Make You Shut Up... I Hope

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of self-centered, conceited, people or those who have this inflated idea of their worth. But of course, who is?

I know someone like this. I'm assuming you do, too. So I would like to share with you a few tips on how to make this kind of person stop telling you stories about their importance.

Let's call this person Narcy (for narcissistic).

Let's say, Narcy is a girl. But she can be a boy too. Whatever suits you.

Conversation I:

Narcy doesn't have a job and tries to put you down because you are actually employed and she needs to do this to make herself feel better.

Narcy: Those people working their asses off are crazy. They are stupid. They wouldn't be rich just by being employed. They SHOULD put up a business. Not get a job. 

You: (Ask innocently, like you really want to know) You have a business? No? You have a job? No?

Conversation II:

Narcy considers herself a photographer just because she has an SLR camera and she loves taking pictures.
You and Narcy looking at an amateur model's picture.

Narcy: She shouldn't be a model. Models should have that X-Factor. I won't take her picture.

You: (In an as-a-matter-of-fact kinda way) Yeah. I heard only photographers take a model's picture.

Conversation III:

In a coffee shop, out of nowhere, brings this up:

Narcy: (In a very proud manner) Someone has been sending me a message on Facebook, asking me if I want to become a model. I already said no but he keeps on asking.

You: (Of course, you would know if this is true or not, especially if Narcy is just 4'11" and not at all modelesque) Someone has been e-mailing me, asking me to become president of the country.

Okay, I can only give you 3 tips for now because my mind is not working properly. I'm sick. Seriously. I'm not feeling well. But I'm not on crack. Although I accuse almost everyone of you being on crack. Or everyone you talk about on your posts. For some reason. I don't know.

Anyway, how did I turn this post into about cracks??

Going back to my topic, am I the only one irritated by this kind of person? How arrogant can people get just to feel better about themselves? Do they really have to brag? Or to make up stories? Do you know someone like this? Can you share some situations that I can add to this list?

Thank you.

Oh! I just remembered something. If Narcy says -- and by says, I mean brags -- something and you cannot think of a good answer for her/him to shut up, you can just say, in your most disgusted facial expression,

"Fuck! Did someone just fart?"

Let's see if THAT don't shut her/him up.
