If giving your resume, equipment list, credentials or whatever aids in the
conversation, yes, but when it just doesn't seem to be a necessary part of
the conversation (I don't know how to take pictures...but I bought all this
fancy equipment), and appears to be mentioned just for the sake of bragging
(I couldn't help my self, so I bought a Hasselblad too...)...well, then
that's just what it is.

Also, the infamous six words of ultimate ostentaciousness "Do You Know Who I
Am?" tend to set people off too...

I'm just telling you how I took it.
