Why do people do this?

Rating: 1/10 (3 November 2015)

I just don't understand.
First people willfully put their lives at risk- pushing it further and further and then when something happens? you are supposed to say?
"real bright idea jackass, why not descend into a volcano next?"
People place their lives in danger repeatedly trying to climb Everest and when something goes wrong? They act like the 'mean ole mountain got em', no, more like that jackass who decided to place their life in danger for bragging rights is the culprit.
Climbing Everest ties into self-esteem I suppose.
I just don't get it.
Who NEEDS to say they climbed Everest ?
In general, Vegans will tell you they are a Vegan before anything else
"Hi, I'm Bob, and I'm a Vegan"
you never hear
"Hi, I'm Larry, I eat pork, and chicken but not beef"
Usually people just HAVE to tell you they are taking Yoga lessons too
Everest isn't too far behind Yoga lessons.
