Do you ever whip out your SAT score?

<p>I have a very high SAT score (high 2200's after my first try), but, like most people, I refrain from talking about it unless asked.</p>

<p>But in my PE class, there are these two kids who GRIIIIND on my gears. Since we're all guys and we're usually playing competitive sports, it naturally gets testy with people whom you dislike. I'm more athletic than they, but they always try to insult me, and they're just unpleasant people. What's weird is that they're not even jocks/popular/liked at all or anything. Just a couple of random kids who think that they're God's gift to high school PE basketball.</p>

<p>Anyway, today, after several months of holding it back, I whipped out the old SAT score to put him in his place (the other one wasn't there, unfortunately) when the kid was giving me crap again. Also brought up my also-elite PSAT score. It was to the effect of: "you better shut up, because I'm going to be your boss one day, and I'm superior to you in every way (I'm significantly more physically attractive than this kid, though I didn't bring this up)", the classic nerd insult. Except, I'm not a nerd. Just screw this kid, all the way, basically.</p>

<p>He had on 'oh, crap, I really have no answer to this' moment and weakly tried to ignore my SAT score and called out my PSAT score by saying, "hurr it's just a PRACTICE sat". I laughed and said no, it's for scholarships and is just as hard as the SAT: just shorter. Then I asked if it's so easy, what did you get? He kind of tried to walk away at this point and I let it go, lol.</p>

<p>Nah, I would seem like a jerk whipping out my ACT on my less smart friends, and among my smart friends my score is just about average.</p>

<p>No, I can find better ways to insult people/get them to leave me alone.</p>

<p>You are lucky that he actually cared. In my school, the annoying people usually don’t care about grades and scores. And the very competitive people are not very conceited. However, there is one that is conceited and likes to show off. This particular person doesn’t really insult anyone but the way this person(I don’t want to reveal the sex) talks just makes you wanna slap him/her.</p>

<p>^ Huh. The fact that you don’t want to reveal the sex means that it’s probably a girl. I think this because you want to refrain from explicitly saying that you want to slap a girl. </p>

<p>Anyway, I don’t think I’d ever “whip out” my SAT score for the purpose of insulting someone else. I would tell someone if they asked, though.</p>

<p>lol… I would never “whip out” my SAT score. Not sure what that would accomplish. Being better at school than most people doesn’t make me better than them, and to think otherwise is ridiculous.</p>

<p>Oh, all the time. I have a little holster that clips onto my belt.</p>

<p>Nah, I don’t really need to. I just smile and walk away. Or go into sarcasm mode.</p>

<p>Considering the tone of your post, I see you seem to be the aggressive/dramatic type. If you don’t treat anyone like an enemy, you won’t have any. Just ignore them, especially since you apparently know how unattractive they are and how unsuccessful they are going to be.</p>

<p>Lol you sound like such a little kid. I have to say I’m going for the other kids. I wouldn’t like you either if I had to take PE with you.</p>

<p>^ i agree with Zombie. Thats really immature</p>

<p>Please try to come up with better comebacks. You can’t really compare sports and SAT scores… That’s kind of weird.</p>

<p>hmmmm…shaking my head…</p>

<p>StudiousMaximus: No, I have never wanted to slap that girl (yes, you are right about her sex.) She and I have minimum contact. She is more reserved with me. The only thing she ever asked about me is “what did you get on the math test?” if we happen to be in the same math class. But I have heard from other people that she even puts something like “Haha, I am smarter than you” on someone’s yearbook. Wanting to slap her is what I heard from other people. She likes to give people hard time (not just students, from what I have heard, a teacher as well. Well, that teacher could not even distinguish “right” and “write”. )</p>

<p>^ I didn’t take your comment literally. It just made sense that you wouldn’t want to reveal the sex when using that particular figure of speech.</p>

<p>Lol guize she’s grinding rusty’s gears.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>nicely said :).</p>

<p>To the guys calling me a child- way not to not understand the background of the story. These 2 guys have given me crap after I REPEATEDLY tried to be nice to them. I’d be friendly, pick them to be on my team, pass them the ball a lot, etc. But after I was given no improvement in their treatment of me, I had to bring out the big guns to shut them up. Note that I waited MONTHS to bring up my scores.</p>

<p>These kids were [can’t say this or I’ll be banned]s for no reason, all the while I was better than they (looks, personality, education, etc) and tried to be the bigger man and ignore it, until I gave up. I’m never a [redacted] to anyone else, much less those who are, for example, more athletic than I, so why should I put up with kids who are dumber than I insulting and disrespecting me? </p>

<p>These kids would NEVER insult a top athlete to his face at my school for being dumb, so why should I put up with these kids insulting me, a top student, for being unathletic (which I’m not)?</p>

<p>I’m not going to be anybody’s [redacted] and accept incessant disrespect from people who are lower than I, ESPECIALLY when I don’t give any disrespect out to anybody else for no reason.</p>

<p>I don’t see how telling them your SAT score will change anything whatsoever…</p>

<p>I haven’t taken the sat so no</p>

<p>Us smart fellows should be able to come up with something more insulting and entertaining than simply stating the fact that our standardized testing scores are higher. At my school I would just get some odd looks if I mentioned my ACT score. I would be considered one of the big, tough athletes though, so perhaps this changes my opinion.</p>

<p>You want a solid insult that will have them still thinking about it when they are laying in bed trying to fall asleep, and your test scores simply won’t do that. ;)</p>
