THINGS THAT ARE COOL TO BE GOOD AT BUT NOT SO COOL TO BE REALLY GOOD AT

REMEMBERING PEOPLE'S PERSONAL INFORMATION

This can be useful, but if you’re too good at it things

can get awkward.

CORNHOLE (BEAN BAG TOSS)

This is cool to sort of play on weekends before football

games, but if you’re joining leagues and whatnot,

well that’s slightly less cool.

GAMES ON YOUR PHONE

Beating Angry Birds is something to talk about, but if all

do you is beat Angry Birds, you need to reassess

your priorities.

MOVING QUIETLY

Not making noise in the office/library/elsewhere can be

nice, but if you’re always sneaking up on people,

that might freak them out a bit.

MARIO KART

It’s nice to be good at it and have fun during family get

togethers but if you’re too good, those get togethers

can turn sour real quick.

JUGGLING

It’s a nice party trick, but if this is the only thing you do,

 it suddenly becomes slightly less cool.

DRINKING GAMES

If you’re having fun with friends it’s ok, but once you start

winning all the time, that can send the wrong signal

about how you spend your free time.

DDR

Dancing is always cool, even if it’s a video game. But just like

with regular video games, there is a point where more

skill leads to less cool.

MAGIC

Whipping out a card trick at dinner can be entertaining.

Doing magic for a living though, that puts you in the

“potentially weird” category.
