One of my biggest pet peeves is dealing with name droppers. That annoying conversation where someone has to drop the name of everyone they know or have played with.
When dropping names to impress in this lifestyle is just wrong wrong wrong. I can understand it when in the vetting process but doing it to complete strangers is just creepy. I wouldn't want my name escaping the lips of someone I barely know. That is a flashing red flag.
I see those throwing names out across the internet to gain popularity off of those they know, riding the coattails off of the reputation of others. They might gain popularity online but they will not be the first to be invited to private parties and events.
Loose lips sink ships, and your dinghy will be sunk.
