The Top Five Things People Think They are Good At

I have come up with a list of the top five things I believe people often mistakenly think they are good at.

#5 Driving
How often do you see terrible drivers on the road? Maybe this depends on where you live and what your standards of normal driving habits are, but I see people doing dumb things on the roads constantly. Sure, everyone makes mistakes while driving, but how often? I rarely make a blunder as major as being in a left only turn lane and staying in the lane but going straight instead of turning resulting in almost crashing into the person in the correct lane going straight. Or how about hitting a pedestrian? Are these regular occurrences for people? Am I in the minority here? I see this shit way too often to lead me to believe that the vast majority of people are good drivers who occasionally make a mistake. Oh yeah, and there's the whole driving with someone who is a fucking lunatic behind the wheel and consistently makes poor decisions in various driving situations. People rarely admit they are bad drivers considering how many people actually are.

#4 Sex
Even the most inexperienced intimacy student seems to think they have it all figured out. This is more targeted toward straight men because these are the people I have to hear from about their secret move that causes 873 straight orgasms for their lucky female companion. Hell, even if it's just foreplay, all the guys seem to think they know exactly what a woman wants. They know how to get ANY girl in the mood before they pummel her with their wide variety of sexual maneuvers. By the way, you're not Mystery (see below). If someone really has this shit all figured out it is probably only figured out for one girl. Women tend to not all be the same. At least I can acknowledge the fact that everyone is different and wants/enjoys different things. But if you're a guy who doesn't even know where to stick it in, just stop pretending because I'm not impressed.

Mystery. It surely is a mystery how this fuzzy hat wearing asshole gets all the ladies.

#3 Having Good Taste in Music
I'll admit that this one is tough to prove. Everyone has their favorite musicians but that does not mean that other people will like what you like. Have you ever been hanging out with someone who insists you listen to all of their favorite songs? I hope not, because I have and it's fucking torture. I'm not trying to say that everyone else likes shitty music or anything, but far too many people think that other people should like what they do. A puzzled look takes shape on their face when you (as politely as possible) shake your head in dissatisfaction at their latest attempt to make you bob your head and tap your foot to the beat of a boring song.

#2 Having a Good Sense of Humor
Yeah, this one is kind of similar to the music one in the sense that everyone has their own personal preference and nobody's preference is necessarily better than anyone else's. The problem here is not even trying to prove whether or not a person's sense of humor is in alignment with yours, but if they think they know good comedy and you are at fault if you disagree. It's like the music scenario above. The only thing worse than sitting around with someone listening to bad music is sitting around with someone watching dumbass Youtube videos. I've sat through so many horrible, horrible Youtube comedy videos. There is an endless stream of this foul shit spouting out of the internet that turns a normal person into a toddler suffering from a giggle fit. It's so hit or miss and usually if you show someone an obscure video they don't feel like watching in the first place, it's a miss.

#1 Being a Good Judge of Character
I believe honesty is usually the best policy, but it often goes too far. Think of all the times you have heard someone talking about what they think of someone else. Every fucking day, right? Whether it's someone they have known for decades or someone they have just met, people tend to think they always have a good "feel" for someone. This is why first impressions often stick, people think they know other people. This always boggles my mind. A human being is a complex creature that cannot be predictable or fully understood. People do irrational shit all the time. It's hard to understand why people do the things that they do and maybe we should just not try because it usually seems pointless. I just had an idea for an experiment. I should interview all of my coworkers on their impressions and understanding of each other. Most of these people will not know how old each other are but will be able to tell you a shitload about little things they have done that point to whether or not they are a good person. Maybe that one time Jessica told Bill that he needed to match his socks with his shoes prompted Bill to think of Jessica as a cold-hearted, insensitive, nosy, bossy, scum of the earth bitch.

Edit: I called Mystery a fuzzy fat wearing asshole by accident. Sorry Mystery.

but only if you count Mario Kart as driving


I think I'm a good judge of character, but I know my sense of humor is lacking.
My taste in music is my own business.

people who aren't involved/don't know about the pro scene of ssbm/sc/sc2 also seem to think they are really good at the games too.

In two years of driving I haven't hit a single thing with my car. I figure that means I'm at least ok. Or just lucky. I will maintain that I'm good at 3 because I listen to stuff like Faure.

Okay I'm gonna rant here but a huge thing that a shitload of people think they're good at but not is PHOTOGRAPHY.
Taking a close up picture of a piece of grass with a camera that costs more than my leg does not mean you're good at photography. Taking a picture of a random hobo on a street in black and white is not clever social commentary. Fucking pretentious 'photographers'.
Sorry but this is one big peeve I have.

lol.

I'm a terrible driver (7 accidents in 9 nears), a mediocre lover (on my best days), openly gay in terms of my taste in music (Enya! Fuck yea!), barely ever funny (reference: this post) and an atrocious judge of character... Like that one takes the cake. I get taken advantage of on a routine basis...

Oh well. At least I'm not in denial about any of it. =)

This thread is heavily missing "Talking about Economics".
Trust me.
People think they are experts on this.

I am of course good at all of these

Except driving, which I absolutely cannot do and don't really want to

Also sex, though limited feedback suggests that I am, in fact, a sex god, frankly, girls will say anything to stop you cutting them up with a chainsaw so I'm waiting for a better cross section of evidence

Of course I have a good taste in music and humor... Not my fault most people tend to have shitty tastes, I've learned to deal with it.

For the other things, I really don't know where I rank but Im not too concerned about that

Also, I figured Poker was going to be on this list.. Cant tell how many people, BW elitists especially, who say "Yeh I made $50,000 in online poker last year" or something similar.. How many people actually do from the BW world? not much, and the ones who do, we hear about it.

I don't believe you, good sir. Please judge my character to prove this, or I will assume you only think you are good at these things.
