One of my pet peeves is when my little brother tries to act cool around his friends. To me, it so annoying because I know that isnt really the way he is but he wants his friends to think that. Whenever he has a friend over, they're usually in my basement playing video games. But sometimes before they go to play, I hear them talking. My brother is always trying to show off. One time, before him and his friends went down to play I heard him talking about skateboarding. His friend looked really impressed when he was talking about all the tricks he could do. When I heard this I knew it was a lie so I told him to show his friend all of the tricks. When we went outside to show his friend, his friend saw that he could barely stand on the skateboard. His friend then knew that he was lying and ever since that day he hasnt tried to show off, atleast around me. I really hate when he tries to be cool because he's trying to get his friends to like him better which is pointless because if they're already your friend you dont need to prove anything to them. Also, when he tries to show off, hes usually lying, and I hate lying.
