Everyone had a fantasy in high school of running into their arch-enemy years later and showing them how much better they are now. Here's the thing, though: running into that person years down the road is never exactly what one expects the encounter to be. Even if one's dream has come true and that person is a total wreck. The experience of running into them can range from cringeworthy to petty to wholesome… as evidenced by these stories, which were shared to this r/AskReddit thread.

Some of these tales include running into a former wrestler and a conflict-friendly aggressive dude who hadn't changed very much, seeing that your former nemesis now serves fries at a fast food restaurant as your parent once predicted, and finally having the epiphany that you were, in fact, the bad guy in high school and it was time to come clean and apologize to someone (just like Liz Lemon). Keep scrolling below for the full stories. When you're done, check out this list of top mildly infuriating school moments.
