Did anyone else know a guy like Nick in HS?
You know, the kind of weirdo that others tolerated because he was a monkey they could make dance for their own amusement.
“Heya, wouldn’t it be funny if SOMEONE called Stacy a dirty skank to her face?!”
“Oh boy, it sure would be AWESOME if someone went up to Chad and poured out a beer on him! Just too bad nobody here gots the BALLS and is COOL ENOUGH to do it!”
And as soon as they riled him up, they’d giggle about what a fucking moron he is, and watch the chaos unfold.
That’s literally Nick.
Except he’s not a friendless 17 year old that assholes can wind up for their amusement.
HES A GODDAMN MAN IN HIS FORTIES WITH FIVE KIDS, GETTING PLAYED LIKE A FIDDLE BY PEDOPHILES AND DEGENS.
Shit is pathetic.
Weaselly weenies [like Nick] in my high school were few. Otherwise decent nerds and dorks were usually at worst ignored until they got their shit together and relaxed a little...and then they were liked (even - can it be?? - if they kept up their so-called "nerd" hobbies and appearance). Despite being in hs in the John Hughes era, though we absolutely had cliques and tiers of popularity, literally no one hardly anyone* was physically/ actively/ actually bullied just for being unpopular or a nerd.
*OK, I can remember one girl who was pretty well shunned and mocked, and a person or two given shitty nicknames. So, that happens. :-/
But what I also saw (this is a hidden message to incels or others who feel as though being awkward is a forever loss in the game of life) was early mega-nerds become pretty popular (A-/B+/B) over our 4 years once they grew up a bit and got some confidence in themselves.

Tl; dr: Nick Rekieta may or may not be an actual nerd, but he is an unlikeable, dishonorable, unfunny, petty, jealous, envious, and small-minded drip.
