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!

I was a three-time All-State swimmer in high school. I tell people about it all the time. So the answer is me, I scream that I peaked in high school.

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.

Todd “I went to 8 consecutive proms at the same high school.”
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.

“If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.”
Has nothing to do with peaking in high school directly, but damned if every girl who peaked in high school doesn’t say that s**t.

Never leaving your hometown, hanging out at the same bar with the same people you went to highschool with, still talking about stuff from high school, and still chasing after/crying over the same guys/girls.
