Ask Lemmy

1. I cursed on a merry go round while in 4th grade with kindergartners on it. All the other of my supposed peers were "absolutely shocked and appalled" I cussed in front of kids who hear more curse words at home. Side note, I was the school pariah everyone picked on, I've heard these shits say worse things in front of younger kids.
2. A teacher threatened me to take off my trench coat in high school. He looked like he was going to physically assault me while wearing it, one of the shit head gym teachers, and I asked him why. Told "That's not the question you should be asking right now." He apparently reported it to the principal who just walked up to me at lunch while wearing it, opened it up and said "No guns." Then left. I think the principal knew why I was dressed like that, the gym teacher was a fucking asshole.

I absent-mindedly hummed the theme to Coach (a 90s sitcom) during class in which the teacher was a football coach.... He sent me to detention for it.

Infamously hated student dean at an otherwise pretty normal HS was known for sitting in her office and watching students on the security cameras so she could dole out punishment for incredibly minor stuff like being late to class, running in the halls, and covering your face (was seen as an attempt to thwart the cameras or security) etc.

However, she was visibly in a more angry mood when on physical rotation like watching the Cafeteria during lunch, so people would avoid any interaction with her like the plague.

Anyways, one day during a very cold winter lunch one of my friends entered into the cafeteria from outside with his hood up, hands in pockets, and visibly covered in snow from walking outside. Rest of our friend group was already sitting at our usual table as he's rolling up. Student dean has already clocked him and within maybe 10 seconds of entering the building, is asked to remove his hood.

Buddy replies with "oh sorry, I was cold"

We watched as the dean proceeded to tear into him for "talking back" and "insubordination" before he got hauled off to the main office and was given a weeks worth of after school detention.

Funniest thing was we were warned about the atrocious Dean by the previous year's Valedictorian. No one liked her.

Called the kid who groped me in music class (and also liked to harass and try to dry-hump my friend at recess) a baboon, and before that I moved from the chair onto the floor so he couldn't touch my ass with his feet, but the teacher of course bitched at me for that. Fun times. (:

I put a woopie cushion on my teachers chair. It broke her. It went from what i was hopping to be funny to being in the principal office. She went mad and instantly shrank into myself while the entire class pointed at me.It only got worse from there. All that for a woopie cushion

Throwing a dime onto an empty stage

Yelled "toilet" three times in the corridor, just outside of the classroom as school was ending. Ended up into nearly two hours of detention, which ended when my parents came to look for me.

Apparently the teacher had another class and forgot about the detention. I was in the first grade.

I sold blow-pops (suckers surrounding bubblegum on a stick) for $0.25 in junior high (1986?) [bought them at PriceClub now CostCo?]. Chaos ensued on the playground. My mother got called to the Asst. Princ. office.

We were always late to our class after lunch and the teacher was fed up with it, so gave us before school detention. Thing was, we otherwise were on good terms with him and did well in class, so detention was sitting around and watching part of a movie of our choosing. I think it was more a show for the class that we weren’t favored (which we absolutely were).

We still weren’t on time after that, but never got detention again. Moved on to the next grade and a different teacher for that subject the next year.

Self defense in middle school. I was awkward for at least 2 years due to some life events (bipolar mom that kicked me out of not being g perfect in school, forced to move with dad that did not know how to psrent and didn't finish middle school himself) Great in class but it took a while to start interacting with all the new people I'm meeting. Ended up leading to a few fights from some of them associated with a gang and police were involved since it was "zero tolerance" never got charged since the teachers would request the footage so I wouldn't get charged for the mess but it was stressful. High school was with the same kids, at least half of them didn't graduate

My fifth grade teacher hated me. Yelled at me in front of the whole class just because I went to her desk to ask her a question. It was deliciously satisfying to see the principal tear her a new one in her office in front of me the following day. She was so embarrassed lol

High scool, I was caught doing "grafitti" (like, micro graffiti (ꐦᄑ _ᄑ)> ) and the punishment was to come in and paint over some school walls over the weekend.

Actually I was caught doing graffiti a few times (out of school), I was a dumb kid.

Got a negative report because some students were being loud in the corridor before the teacher came in. I (and a few others) were doing my homework, but the entire class got punished 🙃 If I had more courage back then, I would have marched straight to the assistant head's office and refused to get it signed by my mum. It was only 5 points, but I hate when quiet people minding their own business get unfairly blamed because they happened to be in the same group as those causing chaos.
