Retreading

Why is it that behaviour that pissed us off in high school is something we emulate as adults?

Case in point: those kids who were *so* not in the In-Crowd — nerds, geeks, freaks — are the quickest to imitate the “cliques” they were excluded from. Only the out crowd names get changed. From “geek”, “freak” and “nerd” to “mundane”, “suits” and “normals”.

Once an Ape, apparently we’re all still Apes. It’s that pecking order thing.
