“I knew a guy who dropped out as a senior when I was a freshman, and throughout my entire high school career he was the dude who would show up to house parties and beat the shit out of people. Everyone knew who he was and was scared of him. I also recall seeing him brawl with dudes in the Taco Bell parking lot during lunch when he was, I dunno, 20?

Many years later he resurfaced on Facebook with a face tattoo and a lot of posting about Jesus. He messaged one of my buddies out of the blue one day and apologized for punching him in the face like a decade earlier.” — you-ole-polecat

“I taught at a HS in the US for exactly one year. During that year some guy who had graduated a year or so prior came back to visit about three or four times. This douche just rolled into the school and would pop into classes to say hi to teachers and students in the middle of lessons. I have no idea why, but for some reason he was walking around barefoot too. He tried that shit in my class and I asked him promptly to leave, to which he said to me, ‘Oh, you’re new here and don’t understand that I’m sort of a legend around here, so people like to see me come by.’ Yeah, I kicked ‘the legend’ the f**k out and promptly advised my students to move on with their lives after they were finished with high school.” — dyingfast

“I briefly worked with a guy I went to high school with, and like ninety percent of our not work related conversations were him reminiscing about how much he’d bullied me in high school (and acting like it was all a big joke).” — Agnol117
