An inflated ego inflates to be burst.
There are many different types of people we see surviving on this planet. Some play the game how it is supposed to be played, these are the good people. Some try to locate the easy way out and win it by identifying loopholes and exploiting the goodness of the god guys, these are the bad people. And there is a third type. These types of people are believers. No, not in God or any religion, these people believe they can do and say anything. These are the people with a very high ego. They believe, ever so strongly, that they can do anything not because they are capable but because they hold superiority over everyone else. An inflated ego can be very damaging to others and to the person possessing it as well. You tend to say stuff or do stuff a normal, sane human being doesn’t normally do. One of those things is “lying”.
Now, the question is what do we do with people who have an inflated ego? A balloon can only inflate to a point, it is bound to pop after it reaches that point. The same happens with these people. Once the ego reaches a dangerously high level, these people make an error and they get slapped big time for that error. That ego is shattered into a million pieces and those people are put back into their rightful places, just the way things were always supposed to be.
Today we are going to enjoy some stories, shared by people from all around the world, about how they dealt with someone who had a very inflated ego. There is a subreddit known as r/askreddit where a person asked the community members to share if they have ever themselves done it or have seen someone break someone’s inflated ego into half. And the post got bombarded with about 2,500 stories. We have compiled the best 30 out of them.

This is more of a lesson than it is entertainment. Just don’t shoot a shot you don’t know what it will do. Egos have never led anyone to success. Sooner or later, an inflated ego is bound to crumble and when the person realizes what had they been doing, it is often too late.
Other than the wisdom, damn the slaps are very hard. These people really did get shown where they belong, rightfully so.
