5. Religiously Watching the NBA


4. Hating on Dave Matthews Band


3. Riding Your Bike to Work in Work Clothes

Nerd
You spend the money to get your clothes dry cleaned or the time to wash and iron them and now your going to wedge your tush on a 8" x 4" piece of rubber and ride the three miles to work. No one wants to look at your wrinkled sweaty self at work all day trust me. Do us all a favor and take public transportation or bring a change of clothes with you.


Or Not?
What's really your response? It saves time? There's no bathrooms at work? Nice try nerdddd.

2. Frisbee Golf

Nerd

You walk around throwing a frisbee into a metal net.

You quite literally own a "driver" a "midrange" and a "putter" frisbee. Notice, they are All Frisbees!

You have switched to this game because you are tired of running around during ultimate frisbee. Now you've just switched to walking around a park with a few of your closest friends throwing a frisbee at a net. Pick up golf.

Or Not?

I get to drink beer while I do it!

- If that's your only come back, well maybe I have gained some respect for you. But definitely not for the game.

1. Video Games

Nerd
You would rather play basketball/soccer/football using only your two thumbs and a pair of eyeballs than actually playing the sport itself = nerd alert.
You essentially need no interaction with another human being while playing. They even have "video games" where you create your own friends for your character to interact with. Is this serious? Make some friends!
You would rather spend several hundred dollars every other year on the newest gaming system than on a real hobby, such as playing a sport or going to concerts or whatever else may get you up off your parents couch or out of your dorm room.
Or Not?
I like playing video games just like professional athletes do.
- Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you do were worried about the multimillion dollar personal loss that would accrue if you got injured while outside playing the real sport.
I play online with other people, who are now my friends.
-Really? That's your rebuttal?

Why?

Well, I'm slightly opinionated and I don't hesitate to inform people when I think they are being nerdy. However, whenever I inform my friends that they are doing something "nerdy" I am met with avid oposision. Therefore I have created a blog in hopes that the public will help me in showing my friends how truly nerdy. And, yes, I'm 100% aware of the irony in this.
