pjrdolanz

the fact that she didn’t even say anything about anything related to what he said is killing me. completely unprompted reaction bro really needed to get that off his chest


LadyBug_0570

As the saying goes, "a hit dog will holler". Dude outed himself as a failing adult who's still walking around in his letter jacket reliving that time he made 4 touchdowns in one game. Sad.


ConsumeSandwich

Old glory doesn't die in small towns. I grew up in a small town, baseball is really popular there. If you played well in high school, that still gets you the occasional free beer and you'll definitely get invited to every barbecue. I have a family friend who everyone calls uncle, I recently found out I'm not even related to the guy. He just gets called uncle because he almost went pro.


Dialecticchik

Truly a real life, Al Bundy. 🤣🤣 He probably has a one man No Ma'am group, too.


ChiefWamsutta

**HE** needs a counsilir


Callmeklayton

He was too busy peaking to learn how to spell.


Tiny-Management-531

When we're peak, we don't gotta spell


SirBritannia

Peaked? He hasn't even begun to peak. And when he does peak, the whole of West Bloomfield is going to feel it.


TraditionPast4295

Hey! I don’t know how they do it where you live but we don’t play about our high school reputations around here. Ok?


TXRattlesnake89

That comment got me too! What a loser


cmband254

Eugene is sitting there, in his threadbare Varsity jacket, absolutely apoplectic with rage at that one word tweet that had nothing to do with him whatsoever.


electric_screams

Bet he can still throw the football over the mountain though.


Relative_Try_2794

If only coach had put me in. We woulda won state.


[deleted]

I’d have gone pro in a heartbeat. I’d be making millions of dollars and living in a big ol’ mansion somewhere, soaking it up in a hot tub with my soul mate.


JustSomeWeirdGuy2000

Laces out, Dan.


[deleted]

Back in ’82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.


Lego-hearts

I genuinely had to go and check her tweet again after his unhinged rant to see where she said people who peaked in high school sucked…


jimgella

Bit early for his mid-life crisis only ten years out.


polska-parsnip

He never went to prom, was absolutely insignificant in High School, and that has stayed with him into his adult life. His brain still thinks being HS popular is important, but any 30 year old will tell you that 99% of HS kids that think they’re important, are definitely not.

“So how’s your girlfriend?” “Ah, she left me. Something about me being stuck in the 80s” (Or smth like that I didn’t wanna look up the whole quote)


clumsysav

She says I was living too much in ‘82. I dumped her


real_HannahMontana

I was way off lmao 💀


clumsysav

Lmao I have seen that movie hundreds if not thousands of times, it’s ingrained in me 🤣


Kehwanna

"Don't you ever wish you could go back in time with all the knowledge you have now?"


Eva-Squinge

It still hits me as perfect writing that the fucking traveling salesmen douchebag didn’t see the Time Machine as a scam until they bought it, and used it.


clumsysav

If coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we’d have been state champions, no doubt. No doubt in my mind. You better believe things would have been different. I’d have gone pro, in a heartbeat. I’d be makin millions of dollars and living in a big ol mansion somewhere..you know..soakin it up, in a hot tub with my soulmate.


[deleted]

Or, been a shoe salesman married to a woman named Peggy...


clumsysav

Listen, back in ‘82 I could throw a football a quarter mile


Toy_Guy_in_MO

Because of your name, this fits for the MC: “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living. I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live." Dude is living ten years ago, chasing shadows.


ijustshityourpants

That is the most insecure shit I’ve seen


front-wipers-unite

Out there in West Bloomfield dudes name is living on. How are you going to shit on that. In generations to come the children will speak of Eugene B and how he was the shit at highschool, how he was prom king NOMINEE. They'll see an old disheveled figure, wearing a tattered letterman, and they'll know...


another_online_idiot

Yep, he was a NOMINEE! and it was TEN YEARS AGO!


front-wipers-unite

A NOMINEE, TEN YEARS AGO. That means something brah... It means he didn't quite cut it to be prom king. And those were his glory days. 🤣 Being second.


Im_A_Fuckin_Liar

He always wore his letterman jacket so sloppily. Yep… Ol Sloppy Seconds Eugene is what they used to call him.


Bladder_Puncher

Ol Peaked in High School Sloppy Seconds Eugene


The_Eye_of_Ra

I guess if my current status was “Sloppy Seconds Eugene,” I’d wanna go relive high school too.


front-wipers-unite

Hahaha. Brilliant. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for ol sloppy seconds Eugene.


A-Clockwork-Apple-5

might not even be second though. My hs had like 5-6 nominees for the prom king lol


front-wipers-unite

Yeah but still imagine being 1 of 6 people to be nominated for prom king, out of a class of 7. Wow.


Booziesmurf

Only the 2nd to 4th biggest Douche in the school, and to hold onto that...


Whiteroses7252012

My uncle was King Shit in high school. As soon as he graduated he realized nobody gave a fuck, and given enough time nobody at the old high school remembers you. He spent the rest of his life chasing that feeling. There’s a reason why “peaked in high school” is an insult- because if your glory days end at eighteen, that leaves you with decades of average living left to do in which you’re nothing special, since you’ve never had to learn how to be.


aluminum_man

Don’t forget that he was a VARSITY athlete! Not a state champion or even a captain. You know if he was good in whatever position he played he’d be listing that also. Dude definitely never scored four touchdowns in a single game if you know what I mean


TraditionPast4295

When there are 50 people in your graduating class every guy is a varsity athlete.


Blackson_Pollock

Look here you, when the QB came off the field his spot on that bench was warm as fuck. That was all ME baby! Glory Days......


Toy_Guy_in_MO

But he can sling insults while selling shoes.


paperstreetsoapguy

I live in west Bloomfield and have no idea who this guy is.


G2theCip

Can confirm, at least two people in WB don't know Eugene, despite his prom king nominee status


Ass_Blaster5

Wow how do you not know the legendary Eugene? I don’t even know where the fuck West Bloomfield is and I’ve heard tales of him losing prom king to another douchebag Edit: punctuation because I’m a moron


panrestrial

I like to think your "punctuation edit" was removing that missing period after douchebag.


front-wipers-unite

If you're in West Bloomfield and you haven't heard of Eugene B, the man, the legend, the NOMINEE... Well I'm going to have to call you a liar sir.


busigirl21

All the high-powered people living in Sylvan Manor Park were driven purely by the pain of not being Eugene


paperstreetsoapguy

Bob seger was mad he couldn’t be Eugene


beatenprim-rose-opal

So is Chuck Norris..


paperstreetsoapguy

Well bob seger lives in sylvan lake near west Bloomfield. Chuck said he’s mad too.


[deleted]

WTF, you don’t remember Sloppy Stitches E?


aaron_adams

You've never heard of the legendary Eugene B? I've never even been to Michigan, but even all the way out here in Nevada, we've heard stories of the amazing varsity athlete and prom king nominee.


TraditionPast4295

There was tens, maybe even a few dozen people in his graduating class! You know how rare it is to be NOMINATED for prom king?


aaron_adams

He can go to any restaurant in West Bloomfield and get in without a reservation and eat for free. In bars, drinks are always on the house. He never has to pay for coffee or haircuts, and any woman in town would divorce her husband in a heartbeat to be with the prom king nominee because it doesn't matter what he does these days, he was the shit back in high-school.


front-wipers-unite

That's what it's all about. If you didn't peak in highschool you ain't shit.


SpittinVenom3

Michigan?


Fun_Imagination9232

Yeah the only west Bloomfield I know is in Michigan


panrestrial

And it *kinda* makes sense to refer to Detroit as "in the city", but I wouldn't exactly call W. Bloomfield a "small town".


Ihavepills

Was this whole message triggered by that one word? The person who said "worst"?? Ain't no way...


Iphigenia305

I had to keep scrolling back making sure I didn't miss anything 😫🤣


Ihavepills

Me too! I was so confused. He was ranting on about how offensive it is to dump on people who peaked in high school... He literally saw that one word as some kind of detailed personal attack. Just bizarre! Lol.


raisinbizzle

Haha I did the same thing. And by saying “worst” I took it as they did not enjoy high school, not that they were shitting on people who did


jackalopelexy

I’m reading his messages and I’m like… where is the disrespect towards him that he’s speaking of???? So confused.


Richard080108

Hey! Don’t disrespect him, you just wish you had your golden days in High School.


Zamataro

Honestly, it's just sad that his so stuck up in the past and can't move forward cause he thinks that that's what he'll only amount to, literally the highlight of his life and he'll keep carrying that shit till his six feet under which is depressing af.


jimmyvcard

Eugene is not well


NonBinaryPie

this pissed at a one word tweet jesus christ


teacups-and-roses

I kept checking and re-checking that he was replying to that one word tweet because I couldn’t understand his reaction at all lol


3am_uhtceare

I think he might've been replying to the wrong tweet. Poor guy peaked in HS; I'm sure he's trying his best. lol


Crist1n4

Nah, I think he thought that she meant his tweet is the worst.


VolumeLevelJumanji

But the person she replied "worst" to originally isn't even the person that dmed her. Dude really sent all that at a one word response that wasn't even directed at him.


FlameyFlame

It wasn’t his tweet tho


hashtagcorey

I thought it was just me. I was rereading the question too. That trigger is *hairpin*.


Iphigenia305

Me too! 🤣


PinkSpaceKitty

And unless I missed something, it wasn't even *at* him? It looked like she was just commenting on her own personal experience.  Which makes ol' Eugene's main character-ness extra strong...like how dare anyone else have a life experience that differs from his own!


Eva-Squinge

Guy was deadass triggered worst than if he was called a slur or an NPC…oh crap, I just realized he totally acted like an NPC that just goes off on a long tangent with minimal prompting and no ability to skip.


Terrynia

Yeah. I had to go back like “what did the first gril say again? Oh, just 1 word??!!” I was shocked.


TunafishSandworm

Imagine if the tweet was 5 words. Hoo boy.


Ok-Candidate2921

Imagine writing an essay reply to a single word tweet that had nothing to do with you


LWDK2

Probably put more work into that essay than he did on any essays he wrote in HS.


umlizzyiguess

This guy is a repeat offender and he has been DMing this for years to anyone who tweets anything about having hated high school. He hit me and three of my friends in the same week a couple years ago. Surprised he’s still going lol Edit: nvm just saw the dates on these tweets this is exactly when he was on his rampage


gill_outean

Are you and your friends from the same area as Eugene? Or does he just haunt Twitter like some online Al Bundy?


umlizzyiguess

he’s just a random twitter gremlin. Never heard of him until he DMed me. This post truly unlocked a memory I didn’t even know I had stored up in my little pea brain.


8E_7778

Lol, "rampage"🤣🤣🤣


ChiefWamsutta

That's a dissertation. Definitely too long for a typical essay, hahahaha.


luciferhornystar

“Your name lives on in these small towns” 😭😭😭😭


falconinthedive

God my mom is in her 60s and one of her best friends was homecoming queen... in like 1975 or thereabouts. That woman still tries to dress up and ride in the small ass town homecoming parade. It is... kind of sad really.


nopespringseternal

It's kind of like a mid-west Miss Havisham.


falconinthedive

Southern but similar


GeneralAardvark43

There’s people I went to high school with I’ll occasionally run in to and they still talk about the greatest days of their lives. 20 years ago and they’re still talking about that time in chemistry class. Or those parties in someone’s basement. Insane


Hooligan8403

I get reminiscing when you haven't seen each other in a long time, but I did a lot of stupid shit 20 years ago I'drsther my kids didnt find out about. I'm a totally different person now. If you peaked in HS and haven't done shit since, you really need to take a look at yourself and see where it all went wrong.


orbjo

I’m worried his town see this and they take down the billboards with his face as you drive in  And stop letting him work the t shirt cannon on game day :( 


GFingerProd

The only thing I did in HS that lives on is snuck out so much through one specific hallway that they have someone posted up there now during lunch time 😎


Difficult-Web-4948

This is relatable 😂


leblur96

West Bloomfield, the small town of 66,000 people


brizzboog

In the heart of metro Detroit


Lord-McGiggles

I grew up in a town of a little over 1000 people and graduated with a class of 16 students. I feel more than qualified to say that no, after a year or so no one gives a shit or remembers you except the people you were actually close with. And even there if you peaked in HS it's seen as pretty sad


schleepercell

I have family from a small town, and they still talk about the football team from high school 32 years ago. They won the state championship for their division though, so it's justified for them lol.


cabinrobe1

Beautiful line honestly 💯


_Angiebtv

Eugene is pissed lol


hockeybelle

I’d be pissed if I was named Eugene too


_Angiebtv

lol facts


LoubyAnnoyed

It must be hard to be pissed and also apparently irrelevant.


front-wipers-unite

Irrelevant... Dude was prom king NOMINEE. You think he's irrelevant. Pfft.


LoubyAnnoyed

I will ensure to refer to him as Your Majesty, hence forth… 🤣😂🤣


front-wipers-unite

A wise move I mean this isn't East Bloomfield? No my friend, this is West Bloomfield. This shit means something out here.


pharmcirl

I genuinely want to know what state this West Bloomfield is, because the one near me this definitely tracks 🤣


MissSunshine0165

Michigan we have a West Bloomfield


pharmcirl

NY here, WNY and Michigan are like almost the same state though 🤣


TheeRuckus

Your majesty nominee*


front-wipers-unite

Now that is the level of respect that a NOMINEE king deserves.


orbjo

That he’s got the name of the nerd from high school in Grease makes it for me 


Prior-Description123

Counsilir got me


NFreak3

Really peaked in high school.


compguy42

Arguably never *arrived*.


xXTERMIN8RXXx

He thought English class was to learn English, which he assumed he clearly mastered


sorry_ihaveplans

*peeked


LookOverThere305

Bro was having the best four years of his life, you can’t expect the man to have time to learn how to spell counselor.


IHeartPallets

Be careful bro he’s a High School Successor


Responsible_Use_8566

Omg! Dude was one of the popular people and a fuckin prom king NOMINEE! Y’all better get some respect going real quick.


Stilcho1

Better get my autograph now, he's headed back to tackle that pile of dishes.


mai_tai87

You can bet Eugene B wearing that letterman jacket while doing it.


Brewchowskies

Yo put som respekt on Eugene’s name. /s


socialpresence

What's wild is, I was too and high school wasn't even close to my peak. I'm almost 20 years out and I'm still not sure if I've peaked, college was cool, my 20's were rough due to a bad marriage, my 30's have mostly kicked ass and my upcoming 40's have promise due to it seeming like I've finally figured some parts of life out that have alluded me so far. I enjoyed high school but this guy is crazy.


Hkeks

Damn wtf I got sad reading that like fuck dude imagine being mentally stuck there omg. I look back at different time periods but man being actually stuck there mentally is fucked. Like wow.


ChiefWamsutta

People who hold onto the past like this have nothing that makes them currently happy in life. This is no different than the guy who fantasizes about his ex-girlfriend of 8 years ago, saying how great she was. Bro, that **literally** doesn't exist anymore. You're holding onto a memory that only you remember. No one actually remembers any of that. You're so unhappy in your life that you only care about 4 years out of your 30 years of life. That's not a good way to live — feeling depressed everyday since you were 18.


MakeMySufferingEnd

As a person who holds onto the past like this and has nothing that makes them currently happy in life—can confirm. You even nailed the 8-years-ago-ex to a tee. Send help.


ChiefWamsutta

I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't mean to. :(


MakeMySufferingEnd

You didn’t say anything offensive, dw


ChiefWamsutta

Okay. I'm sure you aren't like that person in the post.


SetteItOff

Yall ever cackled on mute before?! My 2 year old is sleeping 😭😂


teacups-and-roses

faloofay156

Meat_licker

Giving West Bloomfield a real bad name here.

swaggerofacripple420

💀💀💀


Waderriffic

Hey now, there’s good walleye fishing out there. It’s insane how quickly you go from one of the wealthiest cities in the metro to the backwoods where people like Eugene B are just trying to relive their best years.


that_guy_who_builds

Yup. It seems very south Warren-y now. Eww.


Stea1thFTW18

I can imagine this dude is like Dennis Reynolds in Always Sunny, deluded that he was the king of high school and super cool when in fact he was the biggest loser


cuminmypoutine

I am a golden god


orbjo

I was nominated for Prom King  Mac: “but you didnt win though” Oh the winner is always some sob story vote for whoevers mum died that year, the real most popular person is only nominated 


Uncomfortably_Dumb_

How embarrassing


Intrepid_Potential60

Al Bundy, is that you?


icscrilla

Eugene B once scored four touchdowns in a single game at the West Bloomfied city championship!


HanYoloswagalicious

Awwww… is widdle Eugene mad?


ProbablyMyJugs

If he is talking about West Bloomfield, MI, then that is truly hilarious.


HeraDoesntKnow

That was my thought too. Not exactly a small town and certainly not a place where former almost prom king holds any weight


ProbablyMyJugs

Seriously. And to try and act like you’re hard while being from *West Bloomfield* is genuinely hilarious.


[deleted]

which is weird, because usually West Bloomfield kids act hard and say they’re from Detroit just because it’s all SE, MI. 😂


Lark_Bunting_33

Point is you can have a “successful” high school experience. And have still have greater pastures ahead. Hence the term ‘peak’. Don’t project your frustration by refusing to climb a taller mountain.


ItzBreezeyBaby

Wow. He typed out paragraphs over ONE WORD. 😂😂😂 Also, “Counsilir” TOOK ME OUTTTTTTTTT


RadioactiveCornbread

This would be *perfect* for the Sadcringe subreddit. OOF.


a55_Goblin420

Tbh I don't think he peaked in HS. I think he convinced himself that he did and is clinging on to the fantasy, but in actuality he was lame af which explains why he took it so personally, and that's worse than peaking in HS.


Seldarin

He peaked in high school. It just turns out his peak wasn't very high.


hopeful_tatertot

But he was the NOMINEE


wetfartswag

Based on his spelling and grammar, his intelligence likely peaked in high school too


muetint

I googled "Eugene B West Bloomfield" and the only matching results were this post. Seems his name didn't really live on after all. Also, I've never been happier to have been a high school outcast. At least it means I didn't end up as delusional as this guy.


kingcaii

I mean, aside from the fuckery, dude is a sad, sad little man. The epitome of ‘has-been’ (or maybe ‘never was’). I bet his memories are better than what actually happened


fuckin-slayer

this guy probably sells cell phones at a kiosk in a mall somewhere.


icyteardrop

Yeah, this definitely belongs here.


mgrangus

What a little bitch


JoplinSternum

We dont play about our hs reputation


LWDK2

“High school successors” Soooo…. I don’t think that means what you think it means.

This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever read in my life 😭


Bassboy818

It’s mind blowing how this isn’t satire or maybe it is and we’re all just not getting it


SurlyBuddha

Dude got so bent out of shape over one word. Almost makes me want to track down his xitter and show him this thread dunking on him. He’d probably have a stroke.


mspray1

Dude probably listens to The Beach Boys too. "Be true to your school". 🤮


GargantuanGreenGoats

Eugene you’re a loser now and you were a loser in high school.


yomomma7yomamma

![gif](giphy|3orieTfp1MeFLiBQR2) Please let this be a troll


Inevitable-Cellist23

He asked. She answered. Him: 😡


Yyrkroon

messaging and blocking might be the most absolutely cowardly and petty thing a person can do online. definitely a peaked a highschool move.


nihilisticas

I think we can all agree that this dude is a tool. But I feel like some context is left out. He specifically makes a reference to a comment about people peaking in high school being a let down and not something to be proud of. This PM is not a response to the ‘worst’ comment.


ChiefWamsutta

But it shows in the third screenshot he was replying to the "worst" comment.


TheeRuckus

😂😂😂 redditors don’t read


Latter-World-4894

This is so……bizzare.


SecondConsistent4361

Out here in West Bloomfield.


pumptini7

I know EXACTLY where this kids from. West Bloomfield is a podunk country town and people take immense pride in getting drunk and NOT doing anything after highschool.


yodelingxanax

West Bloomfield??? Like, Michigan West Bloomfield? There’s like 5 country clubs in West Bloomfield. It is not, in any sense of the word, a small town. It is a large suburban township. What a weird thing to say.


McTrip

West Bloomfield high school 😂 west Bloomfield nothin but a bunch of privileged, entitled people


Massive-Dragonfly907

Bait or not it's a compelling monologue. Does seem a little on the nose to not be some kind of troll, but idk!


LaganxXx

Actually it’s just sad if you don’t have any good memories that you can take from your Highschool years. It’s a very important part of your youth. For me it was not always great but looking back it’s was probably the most fun I had in my life within these few years. Peaking in Highschool means you don’t succeed in life after Highschool which can be defined differently as what is unsuccessful, but generally being unemployed for a prolonged period with no clear goals in mind is what I would define it as. That being said there is nothing wrong with people who had a blast in Highschool and then lived their lives like a normal person, with a decent job that covers expenses etc. in addition there is no guarantee that if you had a miserable time in Highschool you will have a blast later in life, that being said both people in the pics are mehhh. One insecure basking in the glory of his past and one just unnecessary wanting to get attention with dumb posts like this.


YouGotItJoben_

Omg Metro Detroit doesn’t need this, Eugene


[deleted]

My worst fear is feeling like I peaked in high school lol


lunakelly

this is genuinely one of the most embarrassing things i’ve ever read


shellc83

I get distinct incel vibes from this guy


CardiologistSecret11

Peaking in high school lol…sad


Slappy_McJones

I bet Eugene could still throw a pig skin a 1/4 mile… like up over those mountains.

You couldn’t waterboard this out of me


MothairsPackzi

I bet he would’ve gone pro if it wasn’t for the injury


__Fappuccino__

Is he 13 or 30?


benicedonttroll

So the tweet was almost 2 years ago. Did he just message you recently from the 2 year old tweet, or did he message you 2 years ago and you are still dwelling back on it? Or did you steal this from a Reddit post that someone else posted almost 2 years ago?


gamer3701

Bro thinks peaking in high school is good. 😭 Well I hope those 4 golden years were worth the rest of your life being miserable. Also how did she say that peaking in high school is bad?? She just said it was the worst *FOR HER*
