A Discredited High School trope that is not disappearing any time soon. Every Jerk Jock has done it to the Ordinary High School Student at least once. Even an Alpha Bitch or two has done it to the Naive Everygirl. Chances are, it did happen once or twice, but it could also have originated as a joke, since larger lockers were commonplace in older school buildings. However, today, schools are built to accommodate a higher volume of students, and stacked lockers are more common. Older buildings may still have the larger lockers but these are often ditched during remodeling.
