If Confidence Were An Olympic Sport, These People Would Win The Gold

Confidence is a trait that everyone should have, although some people definitely have more than others.

From confident people who don't care what the world thinks of them to people so confident they left behind a swath of comical destruction, perhaps we all have something to learn from these (comedy) gold medallists.

Fantasy Football

This is what happened after one man came in last place in his fantasy football league.

Is this embarrassing? Oh my god, yes. But the most confident thing here is that not only did this man embrace his punishment, but that he had the cojones to share this photo on Reddit.

The Geneva Conventions

The Geneva Conventions are a set of treaties that dictate how people (civilians, POWs, and soldiers) must be treated in wartime.

But if you ask this school-age girl, she had the guts to tell her teacher that she believes collective punishment is essentially a war crime. I don't know what's more impressive: her confidence or the fact that a child knows what the Geneva Conventions are.

Upset that she's never won a trophy before, this woman mentioned that fact to her husband and this was the trophy he presented her with. Now, look at the inscription on the bottom.

The husband is confident because - unlike his wife - he will never come in second. And now a moment of silence for all the sexually frustrated girlfriends and wives out there.

If you have a single iota of affection for your coworkers, you might bring in a cake, chocolates, or go out for drinks to mark (celebrate?) your last day at work.

But then there's this guy. After all, he thinks he's a gift and he had to make damn sure that his soon-to-be former coworkers realize that. Now, who wants cake? Raises both hands.

You probably know the song "Low" by Flo Rida, but it takes another level of confidence to not only sing/yell it poorly in a nightclub, and instead do what this airline attendant did in front of an airport full of travelers.

But do you know what the worst part is? That song was released in 2007.

Perhaps you've felt super lazy one day but have had to leave the house to purchase groceries. A hoodie, sweatpants, or messy bun, you wear whatever you have to to stay comfy and get the job done.

But then there is this man confidently walking out of a Home Depot wearing a robe and PJ pants. I think I just found their new spokesperson.

People like to be romanced. From flowers and chocolates to romantic dinners, you have to bring on the charm first before you can get them to fall for you.

But not this barista. He might be lacking in latte art abilities, but he definitely makes up for it in getting straight to the point.

Some people are born with bold confidence, while others take time to acquire it.

This baker explains that she almost gave up baking a year ago after receiving a cruel comment on a cake she baked for her sister. But words of encouragement from the Reddit community gave her back her confidence and this is what she baked for her sister's bridal shower - and it's her first tiered cake too!

To celebrate the completion of a new dormitory building, this construction company took a group photo to commemorate a job well done. But now look a little closer at the faces of each employee.

Surely just actually wearing masks during the photo would have been easier than Photoshopping it, right??

Any frequent flier knows that when traveling you're not allowed pack in your carry-on any containers that hold more than 3.4 ounces of any liquids, gels, or aerosols. But dangit, that rule wasn't going to stop this woman.

I used to aspire to be like my mom, but I think Tequila Lady has usurped that title. Sorry, mom.

And finally, I present to you this woman, who decided to tattoo on her back and shoulder just how batty she can get. She might think she's being edgy, but really she's just putting a giant neon sign over her that says "STAY AWAY".

ADVERTISEMENT

It definitely takes confidence to get that sort of tattoo. But like I said, I'm staying far away.
