One that I picked up from the Reddit thread that I've heard a million times from underachieving idiots: "My IQ is very high, I just don't assert myself."
Or on the flip side: "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart." It really seems like something stupid people tell themselves so they can sleep soundly.

I don't assert myself. y u h8in bro?
-
Street smarts > Book smarts

I will eat your soul.
-
but its true.
-
Like I said, "Street Smarts" is something stupid people tell themselves they have so they feel less inadequate.
-
Not at all. Having street smarts is very important. And like I said, If I HAD to choose to have book smarts or street smarts, I'd pick street smarts in a heartbeat. Luckily I dont have to choose and can have both.
-
You'd pick 'Street Smarts' in a heartbeat because, as Primo says, you're stupid, and are therefore unable to make the intelligent decision.
-
I dont think Im unintelligent...I mean I have a pretty good degree. So I must have some form of intelligence. I just believe that street smarts are a lot more important than book smarts. Book smarts wont get you far without street smarts.
-
Street smarts aren't important if you don't live the lifestyle required for them. That can be attained through booksmarts. Also if everybody was 'streetsmart', who would discover and create?
-
Who gives a shit about discovering and creating? What am I an artist? Every lifestyle needs street smarts.

You're weird

What's the difference?
-
Book smart = college degree Street Smart = you know what street you live on and can perform small tasks well.

I THOUGHT this thread sounded familiar, lol. You thief.

Hey, at least I was up front about it. It was a great idea for a thread! (On AskReddit)

[quote]One that I picked up from the Reddit thread that I've heard a million times from underachieving idiots: "My IQ is very high, I just don't assert myself."[/quote] Yeah that's a good one. "I'm very intelligent but I don't try" apparently describes half of reddit.
