30 Signs That People Peaked In High School And Never Left That Mindset, Shared By Netizens

Sometimes you’ll come across a 30-something who looks, walks, and talks like a teenager. They only care about a couple of things - hookups, money, cars, clothes… The worst part of it is when they finally open their mouth and you can feel yourself transported right back to school, or even worse… a frat!

There are easy ways to tell these people apart, though. A lot of the time they’ll even do the legwork for you, by being a super loud and obnoxious person up front. We’ve got a whole bunch of these loud and obnoxious, but ultimately funny stories for you today!

30 Signs That People Peaked In High School And Never Left That Mindset, Shared By Netizens I remember a pep rally senior year when a kind of friend of mine blew up a condom as a balloon and started singing terribly into it. It was embarrassing and I was going to engage them to stop. Another friend of mine stopped me and said "let him. This is as good as it gets for him." And f**k he was right.

He was so athletic that as a Freshman he dated a junior and went to prom. Same with Sophomore year. Junior and Senior years he dated underclass girls. After prom he became a custodian. For the next 4 years he Matthew McConaughey'd his way through students.

When he knocked one up, he celebrated with his friends on a golf course and attempted to drive from that drunk and got in a wreck. There is a memorial golf scholarship in his name.

Balancing out the US influence on this list with an observation about British public (that means private to us for some reason) schools. Dudes who went to Eton or Harrow or some such place will NEVER miss an opportunity to mention it. There are men in their 60's and 70's who talk about which house they went to or some other nonsense. Their greatest life achievement is that their parents could afford to send them to some expensive school. Well done. *Slow hand clap*. Sorry for the rant. Return to your normal business and thank you for your attention.

"Never left hometown" shouldn't be on the list, especially for my generation, which was hit pretty hard by the 2008 financial crisis (thanks, boomers!).

The "never left hometown" shouldn't be on this list. Travel is extremely costly depending where you live. Not everyone has the financial assets nor time to travel.
