Poll of the Day > Have you ever dealt with a kid that was too smart for his own good

(+) Yeah! (+)

To the point that it made him stupid? Or a little shit, at the least?

I remember back in the day, I was at a bowling alley - I must have been about 9-10, and this kid must have been somewhere around 5-7

He just keeps getting strike after strike, even outperforming the adults there and clearly taking the show, and I just attempt to give him a simple compliment

"Wow! Man, you're good!"

he gives me that little shit face and says

">:( no

I'm Woody"

and i'm just like

"no... i meant... youre good at that"

and he says

">:( NO

I'M WOODY!"

...

so I'm just like "..."

just sitting there wondering why i fucking suck at bowling so much

and why this kid is such an ass

He probably grew up to be pro or win some championships, though, tbh

I have suffered from this for years.

I've never run into such an extreme case.
Kinda wonder if it's how he was born or how he was raised. Most people tend to have very similar aggregate potential, just allocated differently, but if that guy's so bad at interpreting speech, you'd think someone would have tried to help him understand people a little better.

I kinda wonder how he would have responded to "Wow, man, you're really woody at bowling!"

Maybe he'd heard it so damn much by that point that it actually annoyed him

That may have struck him more positively though, I wish I could have been as woody as he was

Animals, sure.

I had this cat for a while that I did my best to take care of before I got sent off to a mental place

And while I hated asking my mom for cat supplies (ion got no income) my bro does it all the time (he ain got no income either but has had two cats for years on years)

By the time I came back, he'd literally adopted my cat, and I never took him to Kitty Claims Court over it

Now Kitty acts like he doesn't even know me, and when he comes out to roam, literally dodges and zips and zooms just to get away from me! I even tell him, dude, you're not a !

I'm like wtf dude I'm not even targeting you, you are such a fucking dick

What did I do besides have an existential freak out around everybody? It wasn't a big deal afterwards!

But no, Kitty acts like I'm a villain!

Fuck you Kitty! I don't ever want to see you again!
