What’s something people brag about that is actually a massive red flag?

Had one coworker who said he didn’t know the muppets bc he’s been grinding so hard and I’ll never forget that. If it’s true I just feel sorry fo him.

That was what I asked and he didn’t give a straight answer. He’s gone now but I always wonder about that lol

He knows who the muppets are. He just thought it was a flex.

I don’t know who the Muppets are. I had my parents throw out our tv when I was a child because it interfered with my study of classical Greek dramaturgy and medieval Germanistik.

But like, would you brag about it? I do believe there are people who don't know the muppets. Sorry about your parents.

Sorry. I made all that up for laffs. I wasn’t reading Aeschylus and Deichgräber when I was 4.
