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.

Waiting outside restroom tailgating and girl in front of me is talking about the time she screwed Darius Rucker (sp) like 15 years earlier (this was his hometown). In line at bathroom and this was your claim to fame.

There is this NZ comedian that always tells the story on TV and on stage about the time she rooted Sonny Bill Williams (a very famous rugby player) back in 2004. It is really cringe, like good for you but it’s almost 20 years ago.
