Inside jokes are a tricky subject. On one hand they are a cool thing to share with people cos it makes you feel closer together. But it really sucks if you're on the outside - like, when everyone seems to be in on the joke except you.
On the whole I'd have to say that inside jokes are pretty sucky. I've been on the outside of 'em waaaaay too often and it made me resent those people cos they wouldn't let me share in the joke. As a result, I tended to avoid those people because they didn't act in a particularly friendly manner toward me.
