(2) The Overachiever ("Yes I will get a publication out of my rotation work.")
(3) The Bulldozer ("Move out of my way and I will show how science is done.")
(4) MuddFudd a.k.a MD/PhD ("Don't worry, I will always have medical school as my backup plan.")
(5) The Mute (...............sigh...........)

(7) Dr. Crick (His ego is so big and name drops like there is no tomorrow)
(8) Pigpen (leaves a dirt trail everywhere they go and you end up cleaning up after them)
(9) The Serial Killer (is super clean and organized and extremely accurate. Discovers things in your work you weren't aware existed. You worry he may kill you one day because you are so dirty and disorganized.)

(11) The Mule (Works their tail off and you feel guilty for giving them more work. But you do it anyway.)

"Rotting" is a super advanced form of suffering that only individuals with no positives in their life can experience. Once you become a rotter, you can not go back. Every slight inconvenience can spark rotting in real rotters, which will cause them to spew absurd amounts of bullshit about their lack of success and self-confidence.
Trust me bro I'm rotting. I got curved by 4 girls today and they were a 6 tops.

Get the rotten apple mug.Refer to Fujoshi
A rotten girl is a self-mockingly pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men. Fujoshi enjoy imagining what it would be like if male characters from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, loved each other. The label encompasses fans of the boys love genre itself. Fans self-deprecatingly refer to their way of thinking, which perceives homosexual relationships between male characters in stories that do not include homosexual themes, as being "rotten". "Fujoshi" carries a connotation of being a "fallen woman"
