when you're in high school or college, and there's a big test or midterm, when the tests get handed back, and you see your score. you can ONLY ask how other people did if you got a shitty score. if you got a good score, you CAN'T ask what other people did. that's just an asshole move. 

if the tests get handed back, and you get an "A", 96%. then you can't ask what other people got. 

but if you get back a "D", 64%, then you have every right to say "fuckkkkk me, i'm such an idiot". then you can ask how other people did. and if someone says "i got a 96%", then you have every right to say "stop bragging you dickhead"

i feel like this applies to other aspects of life. if you do something really well, then you shouldn't outright talk about it. but if you suck at something, then it's OK and slightly funny to ask about it
