Anyone else have a rival that shows up at random times in their life to challenge and mock them?

[bjork]

Nah. When I was younger, I'd have some kind of workplace nemesis depending on the job, but those things were usually short-lived and wouldn't really rate as a rival. Around the time I turned 30 or so, I realized that life is too short to spend your energy on that kind of stuff. Just do cool stuff and be nice to people, it really isn't hard.

Gary

Did you mean this Gary?

Of course I've been challenged by Shauna, can't you see that I'm about to start this Pokemon battle? I swear that she shows up at the worst possible times to challenge me, specially when I'm looking for shiny Pokemon! ?

Alright, in all seriousness to stay on topic of the forum here and to answer this forum's question, no, I've never have had a rival that shows up at any random time in my life to challenge me to whatever it may be.

I'm a slient bob type, if a facial expression or a gesture can work I prefer to not make a sound and I can never keep a conversation up unless I'm genuenly interested, and pretty much anywhere I ever frequent I eventually without failure attract the resident chatterbox who just. won't. stop. yapping. and has this incredibale talent of never saying anything of any interest or import to anyone. Best case scenario - some time wasted, worse case - something I was trying to do at the time completely sabotaged. My usual tactic is early detection and evasive maneuvers, but I'm afraid as I get older I'll be forced at some point to learn and employ the ancient martial art of stfu.

Where's that DAMN Mega Man?!

But seriously, no.

Only in Street Fighter. You ever say "Nah, run that back" for 4 or 5 hours on a Thanksgiving? Well, that's what we kept doing...

Me having a rival?
I don't think I had one in my life.

I had a fighting game (mainly Street Fighter) rival when I lived in a dorm. By the end we were so even that every match one of us won, the other won the next. He mostly played Akuma and I usually played Balrog or Ryu.

Good times. I miss that guy a lot.

Was at the grocery store the other day and I bumped into Gary, my nemesis, my adversary, my opponent and most vile foe, my enemy.

He challenges me to a battle right then and there. I tell him I can't, I'm holding 2 big bags of flour. He says "you've always been a little flower boy." And then he walked out the store through the entrance, I'm guessing he couldn't read that sign either.

Your rival was rather sweet in calling you a 'flower', because you could have also met one who likes to throw himself off buildings and when he sees you in the North American versions, he tells you that 'your father is an ice cream man' in a derogatory way.

Ahem. @RanmyakuIchi

 

[jiyuuboyetsvi]

@Antilocal123 my one and only

 

[Mr. Daddy]

Yeah, but for some reason I only see him whenever I look in a mirror. I never know he's following me around until I look and then bam, perfectly in sync with me he turns and stares me right in the eyes with his stupid face. I don't really get how he's so good at doing everything I do, but I respect the dedication.​

Ahem. @RanmyakuIchi

No no, you're *MY* rival! Don't get it twisted!

My rival is the accursed Ronald McDonald aka Donald McDonald for nihon folk (they hate him enough to make his name a hilarious redundancy) he has Mc prefacing his last name like I. he has clodhopper feet that look like they said hello under a steamroller like I. he wears so-unscary-it's-actuaLLy-even-scarier clown makeup n I have been known to rock the corpsepaint. not reaLLy but I don't ruLe it out.

Early Bird dropped off his contradictory death threats that make so liDDLe sense that even I have to tip my cap to his aptitude for flowery n nonsensicality. It was obviously Grimace's handwriting so that whacked-out purple fuck wiLL be considered an accomplice to this phvnholy deed.

I came down there to McFuckwad's on a skateboard that I somehow acquired on the way there in fashions I failed to remember even as I clumsily crashed through their side lobby door n idk I think the flying skateboard cleanly took off someone's head as they had a mouth fuLL of fries. I said "ACT LIKE I'M SAM L. JACKSON ROBBIN MACDOWELL's!! RON MCDON - YOUR CLOWNY-ASS DAYS HAVE COME TO A CLOSE!! I'LL HAVE A MCFUCKIN-RIB IF ANYONE CAN COOK ONE WITHOUT FARTIN ON IT!!!"

they aLL pointed to the Mayor McCheese in the kids area with Ronald hiding behind his teeth jaiLbars. I had not counted on this. I've heard creepolithic stories about fuckin with Mayor McCheese. I was outta my depth here, suddenly.

I still waited patiently for my McRib then inexplicably ran out the door screaming. it was the locked restroom. the Woman's one, no less. I rolled meh eyes n ran screamin out the other entrance aLL the way across the patronage pit-pendulum-purgatory/wutever. you may have bought yourself time winnin the battle...


BUT I WILL prnzOWN the war. Snake from Voivod voivowed to provide his help! RIP Piggy. RIP R0N McD0N. 25 yrs of fast-food slogans won't even lift a finger to save you. RawR. n stuPH

wait wut

 

[Comster]

I have never had a rival that shows up at random times in my life to challenge and mock me. I do not have a rival.

 

[Boo Man]

Yes definitely
long story short, this one guy humiliates himself almost daily trying way too hard to beat me
doing anything he can to gain an advantage or sabotage me and even then he still fails miserably
its kinda tragic to watch but its his own ego thats the problem
some people simply will not accept defeat
