The only time I wanted to throw it in someone's face was a "rival" in high school who was super book smart and was always bragging about her IQ (it was either 115 or 118, I can't remember now). I so badly wanted to tell her that I'm smarter than her despite how I failed at school because I hated it, but because I did fail at school I knew it wouldn't have much weight and I didn't have any way to prove it otherwise because I didn't carry around a paper or something like a twat to prove I'm smart.
115 is actually still average IQ. On a higher end of it but why would someone brag about it?
