Every one of us has at least one friend who could benefit from a little modesty. I mean, I'm all for self-love and confidence, but it's a fine line to walk. 

The story below accounts for a young and proud man who was deeply humbled by a small chicken. This is the story of an arrogant individual who, like most conceited people, tends to reap more than he can sow.  I'll let you decide whether to refer to this man as Mr. Hotshot or Adam. However, let's get back to the point, Adam invites the whole family to a restaurant that is well-known for its hot wing challenge in their tiny town. To sum up without spoiling the pleasure, Hotshot loses a lot more than just his pride on that fateful night. Three hundred US dollars was the price that Hotshot had to pay for his silly little endeavor! So be sure to keep scrolling if you're up for a little laugh and want to know what exactly happened! And when you're done, check out a story about a satisfying malicious compliance Karen story here!

    This story comes from my friends Adam and Belle and involves Adam's nephew, who lived in the Southwest (US) at the time. He earned the nickname Hotshot as a result of this.

    Nephew Hotshot was a braggart. He always had the loudest motorcycles, the hottest girls and the highest scores at arcade games. According to Belle and Adam, he was a good kid but he could've used a lesson in humility.

    Adam and Belle are visiting Hotshot and his family and they decide to go out to dinner one night. Adam was looking up restaurants in the area and found a local place that advertised "The Hot Wings from ". At this restaurant, there is a challenge where if you can finish 1lb (about

    Belle, Adam and the rest of the family are laughing so hard that tears are rolling down their cheeks. The other patrons are chanting "Eat! Eat! Eat!" But poor Hotshot can't even continue.

    While all this is going on, the waitress has been preparing a tray with a pitcher and a shot glass. When she notices Hotshot struggling, she comes over with the tray and asks (ever so kindly) "Would you like some milk,

    sweetie?" Hotshot (either too much in pain or too embarrassed) nodded. "Because you didn't want the free milk, it's $5 a shot." He downed two whole pitchers of milk, with the waitress counting

    how many shots he downed. At the end of it all, Hotshot was out $300. This included the basket of wings, the shots of milk and what he owed Adam. Adam said it had to be the most expensive lesson in Hotshot's life. He wasn't in such a braggy mood after that.
