which group of people most annoyed you in high school?

[UpsideDownFlag]

For me, it was the Preps. I was a Skater/political nerd (yes, and unlikely grouping), and they just annoyed the hell out of me with their daddy's cars and abercrombie outfits.

now that im in college though, i find jocks to be more annoying- "Der...I'm in three 100 level business classes, but i cut all the time to go play baseball..."

1. Aerosmith

[China_cat]

10. Add another one

[sniffa]

[SheepyMcSheepster]

7. just curious

i have never heard the term before. thanks.

[sniffa]

16. repubLican kids

racist preps who stiLL pegged their pants 5 years after it went out of styLe.

[tjdee]

37. Pegging pants! OH the horror!

I swear to you some kids in my high school hung on to that for dear life. Until some of the 'popular' girls decided to wear Champion sweatshirts as pants, which lasted for about two weeks.

:scared:

Ugh, and their Ocean Pacific and their Guess jeans and their ...mmm..now I'm getting middle school and high school mixed up.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

48. that went out of style?

:silly:

thanks for the explanation

[Champ]

5. Annoying people - There were some in ALL groups

Why is stoners lumped in with slackers? I knew plenty of stoner/jocks :)

[UpsideDownFlag]

14. because the stoners i'm talking about

are the ones who were stoners because they were slackers. you know. never went to class, smelled like bud all the time.

[NewJeffCT]

34. agreed - some in all groups

I was very shy in high school, but nobody bothered me that much... and, with me being a big sports fan, the jocks didn't bother me much despite my involvement in the ultimate geek club - the D&D group. We didn't really have any preppies. It was jocks, stoners/slackers & geeks, and then a few that defied categories. It was a small school.

[demnan]

6. Jocks

they were king in our school. The football players were mostly jerks. The only one who was a nice guy was Russell Davis, who did go on to play professional ball.

[SaintAnne]

9. everyone

besides bandies and a few choosen. But hey, everyone did everything, you couldn't get away with being in just one group, you had to be in many many many groups. but all the cool kids were in honors band :evilgrin:

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. The in-crowd clique

[redqueen]

12. Other: the jocks & preps both.

I loved the nerds. :loveya:

[Feathered Fish]

13. The Heathers

My school was full of them.

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

15. The uber-religious holier-than-thou asshats

If you weren't in FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) you might as well be Satan in their eyes. "Meet me at the Pole" and morning before-school prayer groups, that kinda crap... am I the only one to experience these kids?

[sui generis]

20. yeah the "saved" and "born again" ones got on my nerves

[last_texas_dem]

31. I agree

And where I went to school (small-town, Bible Belt) the kids with these sorts of attitudes showed up in all kinds of "groups" (jocks, skaters, preps, etc.). They were unbearable, and I was one of their few open enemies since I actually "dared" to openly declare myself an atheist in a class once. (I'm actually agnostic, and was agnostic at the time, but was arguing the extreme to prove some point to a fundy friend of mine, was overheard, and all hell broke loose.) I also had to deal with them a lot in band, because for some reason there was a strong correlation between being a holy roller and being in Band; not sure why that was.

But yeah, good pick; my least favorite group from high school. I'd be tempted to put jocks, but even though most of them were assholes, they could be funny and were generally nice to me. The fundies usually didn't care for me and I didn't care for them.

[underpants]

17. The wanna be Elite Jocks crowd

They tried to create this upper level of jocks and Cheerleaders but they couldn't. Those of us other jocks (played two sports) wouldn't let them-the dope smoking jocks included.

[mac56]

18. I graduated in 1974.

Most of those groups didn't even exist yet.

I guess the jocks and their followers annoyed me the most. Jocks then weren't like jocks now, though.

[UpsideDownFlag]

25. lol, i hadn't thought about that. still, the big groups were there. nt

[Skittles]

19. cheerleaders

girls should be playing their own sports, not providing sleazy entertainment for the guys

[NewJeffCT]

32. i love cheerleaders

watching them in sport for me! And, I think to be a good cheerleader, you have to be fairly athletic.

[Skittles]

38. f*** that "athletic" nonsense

their main purpose is to ho' themselves for guys. Any freaking prostitute can do that.

[NewJeffCT]

39. oh well, they only ho'd themselves for me in my dreams

Same with all those Catholic school girls...

something about girls in short skirts, I guess.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Other - Rich Kids

I never like the "entitlement" crowd. Slackers, in large part, who were skating by and dad's and granddad's success. I went to a prep academy, so i saw a lot of it.

I played basketball and ran track, so the jocks couldn't bother me.

I was one of the smart kids, so the nerds couldn't be the ones.

I played in a rock band, so other musicians couldn't annoy me.

The gear heads and stoners wanted to be left alone, which was how i was, so we were always cool with one another.

I learned to box at an early age, and, after i got gang beaten in a parking lot my sophomore year, i was always ready to fight, rather than stand there and get pummelled. So, the bullies left me alone. No problems there.

The basketball and rock band thing insulated me from the "cool" crowd, because being a jock and a rocker was cool! Safe from them.

So, pretty much it was the one crowd. You all know them. The kid driving his own brand new TR6 in 1973 that thought that made him better than everyone else. Man, i wanted to pop one of those guys.

22. Inept teachers -- without a doubt.

Especially the ones who thought they had all the students figured out; the students who were good/bad, dumb/smart, honest/deceitful. They never had a damn clue in most of the cases. That was my biggest complaint.

[Abelman]

23. Everyone

I was in sports and band and plays. I had no little clique to call my own. I hung out with some of the "in-crowd" once in a while. They were more tolerable than many of the "outcasts" and were far more inclusive and friendly and open, I found.

I knew quite a few people who weren't popular but were just mean. But they blamed nobody liking them on the popular kids, never thinking it was because they were total assholes to everyone.

[WMliberal]

24. goths. i went to HS in the late 90's.

Columbine was during my time. The guys were destructive and testosterone crazed; not like the goths now... they've suddenly become WAY more chill. The girls were soooooooooo close to being my type: sassy, witty, fair skinned, raven hair, sometimes freckles under those layers of foundation.

[Mad_Dem_X]

26. I chose "Other"...

For me, it was the snotty, overly-made-up girls who thought they were "all that." When in reality they pretty much all looked like fat sows with too much makeup.:shrug:

[ZoCrowes]

27. Goths

I was one of the guys in high school who could pretty much get along with anybody. I'm basically a social chameleon.

I went to an all-male college-prep school. Basically, you're expected to make a shitload of money when you get a real job and donate it back to the school sort of thing. The people who would REALLY get on my nerves though were the sad-sack goth kids who thought their lives were so miserable and that the school was evil blah blah blah. The 2 years there my attitude was "SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! If you don't like it go to a public school! You knew what you were getting into when going here." Little rich kids who think they have it so bad get on my nerves.

A close second to them were the thugs. Rich white boys who thought they were gangstas. I personally love early gangsta rap (NWA, The DOC, Cube, Pac, Snoop etc.) but I could not stand these guys. They drive around in their BMW's talking about life in the "hood."

For the most part though everybody was pretty cool a few douchebags aside.

[Fleurs du Mal]

28. ugh, the jocks

My blue mohawk was just too sexy for 'em :headbang:

[Her Blondness]

29. The REDNECKS!!!!!!

I hated them and they hated me. To this day they plague me, but now by voting.

[GRLMGC]

30. I was a drama geek

and I hated a lot of my drama geek peers. They were overdramatic (surprise, surprise) and they were assholes. Backstabbed anyone when they could.

[CarbonDate]

33. The ones who obsessed over labels

Which, to be fair, was just about everybody.

I was the guy who the "preps" thought was a "freak", and the "freaks" thought was a "prep". I got along with everyone and no one at the same time. I did everything to defy stereotypes and be my own person. And just when people thought they had nailed me down... I joined the military.

Suck on that, label freaks.

[SarahB]

35. Jocks!

Just because I looked a like a cheerleader (can't help it, I'm a curvy WASP), I dealt with so much shit (sexually harassment, "Sarah's a bitch", "Sarah's stuck up", blah blah blah). I was (and am) a very independently thinking person who didn't play games and did not enjoy high school stuff at all. I was a theater geek who did political stuff. I didn't quite fit with the theater geeks either because I was a bit less geeky. I had a small, core group of friends and friends from a few groups- some Goth types, a few stoners, band geeks, and brainy kids.

I was an island. I was an enigma. I was me. :D

[Outrider]

36. State Farm brats

Grew up in a feeder town for State Farms corp headquarter. All the little brats of State Farm employees were unbearable, especially when they found out my political affiliation.

[mattclearing]

40. The wanna-be gangstas and the jocks...

...tended to be one and the same.

[noonwitch]

41. Pom-pon girls

They were girls who weren't good enough at gymnastics to be cheerleaders, but still wanted to dress up like one. Talentless, over-rated idiots. One of my friends wanted to be on all through high school and was rejected each year until our senior year, as they allowed more seniors on the squad than any other class. She thought it was so important.

They did one of the most idiotic routines I ever saw once. To the tune of that REO Speedwagon song about doing it like the tough guys, they did this stupid dance where they waved baseball bats around instead of pom pons. To this day, I'm surprised no one got hurt. They probably had a collective IQ of 60.

[Debbi801]

42. The snobs.

[ernstbass]

43. I'm too damn old to remember!!

[flamingyouth]

44. The stupid new wave poseurs

Yes, I graduated in 1986 - can you tell? ;)

(If I were in school now, I'd definitely vote for the suburban ganster wanna-bes who call each other "dawg," however. Even at age 35, they still bug me.)

[cally]

45. The jocks and cheerleaders

The most annoying ones were those who asked me for my homework or help right before the test. I always said no and they looked so surprised. If I took the time to do the homework then they should also. I was studying for my own test at the end and I didn't have time to help. I was always willing to help earlier but few asked then.

I saw so many of them traumatize other students. I always made a point of calling them on it. Who knows why I never got targetted by them, but I didn't.

[Kat45]

46. THe jocks were real obnoxious. We didn't have preps, because

we were a working class town and nobody had money to flaunt. A lot of those other groups didn't exist in the seventies, when I was in high school.

[Solly Mack]

47. Everyone politically unaware regardless of group label

annoyed the living fuck out of me in high school
