Funny stuff you used to do in school

Fremen

School was pretty damn dull most of the time, but there were some fun things you could do to brighten up your day. It occured to me that most of what I thought of as "fun" back in the day would be totally socially unacceptable now. I guess kids just have a different set of rules.

One thing that used to be a bit of a laugh was to get your locker lock and clip it into a buttonhole in someone's shirt, then run away.

There was a row of cubicles in the toilets, with a metal rail running along the top joining them all together. Someone figured out that you could hang upside down from it and walk on the ceiling. We used to go outside and get our feet muddy, then leave footprints up there. Good times.

What did you do in school to escape the boredom?

We would turn peoples bags inside out. I don't know why it really doesn't seem so funny now.

We would also tie peoples shoelaces together without them noticing so when they stood up they'd fall over Thats prob why I never buy shoes that have laces in them anymore

We had this really anal bitch of a German teacher. We used to go into her classroom at breaktime and turn the dozens of posters on the wall upside down. She used to flip.

I still find that funny now though!

The same teacher (we REALLY hated her) used to give us an aural class once a week. One time before she came into class, 2 of my friends decided it would be gas to pour some Ribena into the plug hole that she used. When she actually came in and plugged in the stereo, we were all sh*tting it, but no one said a word! We breathed a huge sigh of relief when she didn't get electrocuted.

Looking back, I guess that one wasn't so funny!



(I'm aware I've used the words anal and hole in this post, and that someone will try and turn "aural" into oral)

Left and went down to my friend's house to play guitar and drink the odd beer.

I am small so I could fit into the locker with some help from my friends, I would hide and just pop out when someone went by frightened the crap out of some girls!!

My science teacher had the worst breath ever and used to lean over the kids' shoulders, breathing into our faces. It was unbearable, so me and a friend decided to send her a helpful message. We bought a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste, wrapped them up and wrote her name on the package, and left it in the lab. When we went back it was gone. For the next few days her breath smelt fresher but then she just went back to normal.

Removed all the desks from one classroom, and when teacher came walked round the empty space scratching our heads saying "they were here a minute ago"

These lads a few years ahead of me apparently broke into the school after it closed and called a number in Australia. It was supposed to have cost the school hundreds of pounds in phone bills. I've no idea how true it is, sounds like the Simpsons.

Another time, a guy got suspended for putting dog sh!te in a desk (the wooden type with the hinged top). Stunk out an entire corridor.

We had one classroom that had benches type of things. Depending on which teacher we had due into us, we used to sit on the floor,where we'd be hidden, so when the teacher came in,they couldn't see us. Most of them would cop it, but one teacher went off to find the principal to see if he knew where we were. By the time they came into the room a minute later,we were all sitting in our places waiting. The principal thought the teacher was losing the plot!
Same classroom also had a empty wardrobe for some reason. We got one lad to hide in it for about half an hour,told the teacher he was in sick bay. Then he just jumped out in the middle of the class. Was so funny at the time.

Used to get great laughs out of touching people in inappropriate places and then blaming one of the quiet kids - It was fun until the Dept fired me,

Now I post on Boards and watch pr0n.

This is about when you were a student and not a teacher. Paah.

rockmongrel

We had a science teacher who had no sense of smell, used to set a lot of stuff on fire.

We created our own card game, spent all of sixth year free classes and lunch playing it. Sometimes we have little reunions where we'd all get together and play, pretty awesome

Love2love

We use to throw school bags out the fire escape and we thought it was the funniest thing in the world! All seems so juvenile now!

I remember one day the someone broke the handle on the door of the home ec classroom / kitchen and we got locked in with this push-over of a teacher. All hell broke loose and there was food flying everywhere and just utter mayhem. When they did eventually break down the door we were all covered in flour and glass was smashed everywhere.

The best had to be when we found a drunk on the street and brought him up to the classroom and told the teacher that he was student from Trinity College to help us with out Maths class as we were doing our Junior at the time. He got up on the desk and start singing another brick in the wall by pink floyd. I'll never forget the teacher face when he was screaming "teacher, leave those kids alone"

Mad times.... I really miss school now I think of it!

Was in a CBS school in Dublin and before the Priest would come in on Friday to say the rosary once of the lads would attach fishing wire to the crucifix and thread it down through the latches in the windows to the very bottm of the class. When the prayers started he would tug it and we all went into convulsions. The priest/bishop thought we were all possessed!

CreepingDeath

We had a highly strung religion teacher from Cork.
We would all start humming quietly and it would drive her demented.

Well before my time, a group of legendary 6th years carried one of the teachers cars ( a mini ) up a flight of concrete stairs, through the entrance doors and into the large library area.

We used to melt a mars bar,mash it into a pair of boxer shorts and put the boxers in a coat pocket.The look of horror on the persons face when removing them from their pocket was priceless.

We didnt have lockers in our secondary school, so during lunch time all the bags were thrown in piles outside some of the main buildings. So some people used to tie them all together in proper black knots. Picture 50+ students all late for class trying to pull their bags apart...quite funny really.

Also something which wasnt really funny at the time, more a way of life, was that there was a black market for tennis balls in our school. We were in a CBS so handball was really popular, so you could make good money by robbing a tennis ball from someone playing handball (usually gullible 1st/2nd years...dont judge me, it was the way it was done, who was I to question it!) and then skin the tennis balls using a compass and sell for 50p. More weird than funny I suppose! You would have to demonstrate the hop of the ball and everything, the better the bounce the more it was worth. Awesome way to make your lunch money during small break.

In my experience Meath girls don't need any lessons in Oral


My class were bastards, including me at times.

We locked a teacher into a supply closet in the gym, Set fireworks off in class, aimed them at teachers, broke lights, got in fights, marked the floor with our shoes, looked terrible, made swords in metalwork and used them to duel, set off the bullets that are used in nailguns in peoples direction. We just general fcuked about really.

MitchKoobski

Most of our teachers were short, so when they pissed us off we would take the whiteboard markers and put them on top of the board before class.
Worked really well until one day we did it to our sound out maths teacher to see what he would do. He was pretty short, so he picked up a massive ruler and knocked them down. Then when one of the lads got up to go to the toilet, he took his bags, book and jacket and put them on top of the press.

MitchKoobski

Oh, we also used to climb up onto the roof which was about 6 stories up or thereabouts. I went to De La Salle college, and above the chapel was the belltower. One of the doors in the school led to the organ for the chapel, but it also led to the stairway for the tower. You had to jump over gaps and risk killing yourself in the process, but getting up on the roof and wandering around was brilliant.

FearDark

I know a guy who had used tampons poured into his bag sticking to every book and copy in his bag. The smell when he opened the bag was unbelieveable, think of the dirtiest whore youve been with and multiply that smell x1000 and you've an idea.

Brilliant fun, but I suppose it would be a little unacceptable if you did that to a work collegue now :rolleyes: **** "the man"!

rockmongrel

Jeez you'd be fined or worse for some of the **** we all did in school :pac:
Good times.

A bloke in the year ahead of me got one of his ribs broken by a two foot long clay knob that was thrown at him.

Were you a coolminer?

Another craze was running around drawing knobs on peoples bags with chalk.
"Haha, you got knobbed"
It's not at all funny in hindsight.

but1er

in metal work the teacher ran to his car to get something and while he was in the back we locked him in and he sat on the side and we shook it

*picture pat short face of king kong sitting there with a sad face*

Ah the schooldays.My dog used to follow me to school every day,he knew he'd get a choice of 100's of half eaten sambo's thrown on the ground.All the students loved him even some of the teachers but a couple of them hated him! We used to have 9 classes a day in blocks of 3,we'd Irish 1st the teacher actually brought him nto the class,German next and she didnt mind him being there,he used to just lie beside me.But we had Business studies next and our teacher hated him! Anyways we decided to trykeep the dog in the room so built up a big fortress for the dog to hide in.Wouldnt you know the one day of the year the teacher came around desk to desk checking the homework!
Queue 3 days suspension.

The tinfoil ball fights were the best though,except when you got hit with a jam ball or a ball with half a sandwich sticking out of it!

Neyite

• empty out classmates bag, which is leaning against his desk
• staplegun it inside to the floor of the prefab
• put books back in.

watch as he grabs the bag at 4pm in a hurry and rips the ar$s out of it.

RolandIRL

i remember a couple of 6th years tying bags to the hitch of a teacher's car and eventually a huge daisy-chain was made. it was hilarious when the teacher drove off. just this big line of bags following her. she only made it to the school gate before another teacher stopped her.

i.need.a.job

when everyone went to the canteen at lunch all the school bags had to be left at the same spot to not clutter up the school, we used to tie them together ensuring mayhem when hundreds of students came in from lunch an picked up their bags to go running to class!

also used to hide balloons in the science teachers presses so eveytime we'd do an experiment and she went to get stuff the place be full a balloons!

also used to place bets on who would be the last into class so we would stand outside the door an when the teacher came out roaring in our faces to get into class there was nothing we could do but stand there with blank looks on our faces. one by one people used go into class when they got scared of her shouting, but she couldnt understand why we were just standing there ignoring her it was so funny. last person in the door won

I'm just out of coolmine, and I can tell you that the bag thing is still happening, however, they've advanced themselves, and are now using CABLETIES to stick the zips of the bag together!

Rubberlegs

Our physics and chemistry teacher had a habit of rubbing himself across the desk whilst talking to us. We used to put chalk along the edge of the desk and he'd unwittingly leave the class with a big smudge of chalk across his balls:D:D

Me and the lads still do that and we're in our mid 20's now. still a bit of craic the good aul spit ball cannon out of a hollow pen and chewed up paper, until you missed and clocked the teacher with one.

Gannicus

other one was we stroked the skeleton from the bio lab put masks on sent a toe and pictures of us with it to the school by putting them in the post box and letting them go through the post properly. then sent it back random piece by random piece

cocalolaman

Rubbing someones leg under the desk when they're trying to read out loud..

Turning bags inside out,then putting all the books back in.

shrewdness

Throwing masking-tape balls at each other before the first class was always a favourite, just a bit of paper scrunched up and then plenty of masking tape depending on how big it was to be.

One day this fella brought in an egg, pierced a small hole in it and lightly wrapped a bit of masking tape around it leaving a bit of a hole in that aswell. One throw later and one poor lad had a serious case of egg on face.


Another thing was during lunchtime and lads were taking books out of their locker, we used to bring in extra padlocks, watch who had opened their lockers and turned around talking, whatever, then lock his locker with the extra padlock before he got his stuff out then walk away before he noticed. If he did notice, either a run was made or the key was fcuked in the bin or out the window!

Chuchoter

omg we do the humming thing. Then theres the burger game,where people say burger under there breath getting louder and louder but the teacher can't tell who it is :P

We all know the Dept wouldn't have fired you.

IvySlayer

We had a business studies teacher who was such a dickhead. We hanged his stool off the blackboard, and when he came in he walked straight into it!

'Who put that there?!?'

'Sixth years I think' we all responded bursting laughing.

Bollocks was always a fun game. You said the word Bollocks and then the next person had to say it louder.

Oh and during exams, there would be around 100 or so in the hall, whenever someone coughed, everyone would join in! Was gas! Teachers just yelled SHUT UP over the coughing, but they did giggle.

Slidey

Swopping the refill out of a temporary marker and replacing it with a permanent refill.

I then got the teacher in question who was a little unhinged at the best of time to fill the board with irish phrases.

She had an episode when it wouldn't rub off...

Gary4279

the oul bin on fire would do the trick.

diid anyone when they were bored spend the class taking apart there pens. that was double maths for me after i slept for the first one.

A lad in my class brought a frog back in after lucnh one day and french was our first class. He was wondering what to do with it and spotted the tape player, we would be doing a listening excercise as usual.
So he opens the deck and pops the frog in. Teacher comes in, sits down and opens the deck after a while, frog jumps out and she screams and runs out and was crying for quite a while (she was one of those unfortunate teachers who teenagers shouldn't be let near)
He got suspended for it. But Oh how we larfed!

Bonito

We had a sub science teacher once. Couple of the lads selotaped another lads hands and feet and covered his mouth and put him in the middle of the floor.

Tomebagel

had some biology experiment where we had to do something with potatoes,the teacher made us wear lab coats which were very rarely used so as we cut up all the potatoes we stuffed some pieces into the pockets of the labcoats,after a few weeks they smelled horrible and none of the teachers could figure out where it was coming from:D:D:D

AskMyChocolate

Probably seems really tame now given the leeway given these days; but one day the entire class were given detention for a whole Saturday because no-one would own up or split on what had been a(n) hilarious gag.

Arrived in on Saturday and were given sandpaper and told we weren't going home until the desks were clean of graffitti. Then the two teachers went off for tea. We split into groups while they were gone and sanded two desks down to wafers.

We were sent home when one lad (quietest in the class) asked "Is that Okay sir or should I keep going?"

Funny day.:)

Jesus, we're everywhere! :eek:

We used to play 'bastard' in school.

One person starts off saying it really quietly then the next person has to say it a little louder and so on until one person eventually has to practically shout it out.

We also had classes outside in old prefabs where the emergency doors at the back were dodgy, you could open them pretty silently and with pretty much zero effort. Also, the teacher didn't know this apparently.
Before the teacher would come in, one person would sit out the back outside the door, she'd call the attendance and mark that the person wasn't there. When she turned around someone would signal for the person to come back in, and he'd sit down in his chair like nothing happened. She'd turn back around, note he was there and continue. Then throughout the class he'd sneak out and back in again and she'd spend ages looking for him each time. Jesus she hated us something fierce.
