I think the power plays irritated me more that the immature behavior. You expect kids to fool around (although you'd also expect them to be held acountable for their behavior) but to seeing their seniors conducting soap opera politics is just disgusting. I once saw two 0-6s almost literally come to blows (they had to be physically separated) in the middle of a staff meeting over who was going to get the designated parking spot of a departing staff member.
