Crab mentality Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket (also barrel, basket or pot), is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a common pattern of behavior seen in a group crabs when they are trapped in a bucket; their focus on saving oneself rather than willing to cooperate to save the entire group. Individually, any given healthy crab could easily escape from the bucket, but when grouped with others any individual's escape will be hindered by others. They will grab at each other in a futile "king of the hill" fight for survival which eventually ensures their collective demise.
