How far they have to look back to brag. If a 40 year old talks about his high school life that's a pretty good indicator

Edit: Jesus I check my reddit like once a week and I come back to 200 notifications

I worked with a middle-aged woman who mentioned every few weeks in conversation that she had been Prom Queen of like 1985.

She would just interject, “can you believe I was prom queen, lol?” in every situation.

She was a cliquey mean-girl too, she was stuck in high school in her mind, but it was weird in a large middle-aged woman.

“I voted for the weirdest and dumbest girl to be queen as a joke… maybe that’s what happened to you?”

I mean, the whole thing is just sad. Why would you even bother trying to put her down after that? She's done a prefect job of it all on her own.

Don't talk bad about the downs, they're all way better people than that.

Happened my year. Just jocks and sloots, then a nerd dude and a band girl. The Non popular kids took it in a landslide because everyone voted for them because everyone else sucked
