"Sir, some of us don't assign grades to our friends." That's what a user replied after fintech unicorn CRED CEO Kunal Shah commented that mediocre people hang out with other mediocre individuals because A+ folks avoid them.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Shah said, "Mediocre people often have a clear tell: you'll often see them hanging out with other mediocre people, probably because A+ folks avoid them."

"Calling all A+ folks! This man is lonely and sad and needs help," a user wrote.
"Lol, who grades their friends? Do you maintain an Excel sheet with grades for people you know?" another asked.
"You don’t know if someone is mediocre or A+ until you see their character during wartime. Everything else is just superficial judgment and utterly useless," a third commented.

"'A+' and 'mediocre' are definitions suited for corporate or organizations and best left there. There is no need to generalize and apply them to the entire population," a fourth remarked.
"doesn’t correlate with real life for me — people hang out more based on their value systems than anything else and within that they might seek folks at their level ( A or D-) for a particular thing they are doing. i hope i dont personally blanket label people at A+ or D- and explore everyone for what they are / bring. besides supposedly a+ people by some definition maybe total douchebags …often true …and are best avoided," a fifth explained.
