Crab mentality

Tonight there's a race we could have at least made an exhibition pass in. Unfortunately, our transmission is still stuck in local customs, courtesy of Complete Cargo. It appears they did not file a request with customs before exporting the transmission stateside for repairs. Another lesson learned!

Why is it that islanders love the crab mentality so freaking much. For those of you who are lucky enough not to know this term, here you go... from Wikipedia:

Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a phrase that describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise.

See you in the bleachers.
