Funny moments from school

Macavity.

I didn't have a particularly good time at secondary school but I would be lying if I said I hadn't some great memories.

One being the end of fifth year, with about 2 or 3 days left, someone suggested we should mitch (skip) the day of school. Roughly 30 out of the 35 lads in our year skipped the entire day. I wasn't on very good terms with 50% of them but we still had a great time.

We all went up to the bridge in the town and got cans, just a massive session. One of the really strict teachers in our school took it upon himself to catch us. It was a bit like in Ferris Bueller. We all saw him from the bridge driving around the town. We went to a shop to get sweets and he eventually found us. His car slowed down and he said from the window "You're all in a lot of trouble". Everyone just started laughing and ran away.

Awhile later we went back up to the bridge and one of the lads rang the school. The woman in the office picked up and they asked specifically for the teacher who had been looking for us. He answers and everyone just began shouting abuse into the phone at him. It was hilarious.

We never got in trouble because there was too many people involved and it was too close to the end of the school year. I hated secondary for many reasons but that memory always makes me smile.

What funny moments do you remember from school?

My obese history teacher broke the tall wooden stool and fell onto the ground creating a man hole

Science teacher set fire to her fringe with a Bunsen burner.

One of the traveller girls who thought she was so cool cause she smoked was flicking her lighter down by her skirt and it burned it, not flames though, more just a terrible smell and a lot of smoke.

That was pretty much it

Sooooo many

Possibly the funniest incident was when two of the lads were sitting on the sidelines during a football match in our indoor sports hall. One of them looked at the fire alarm and said "I wonder how hard you'd have to press that to actually break the glass?", the other said "Ah I'd say it's sturdy enough, look" whereupon he gave the glass what he assumed was a gentle enough prod to leave it intact.

Five minutes later and the entire school has been evacuated into the pissing rain

Every day at school was a funny day, all changed when we left it.

Dunno about the funniest but the most awkward was the day the geography teacher took it upon himself to explain the sexual reproductive organs of both sexes the day he filled in for the sick RC teacher. He had one class. One class and he chose to bring this up!!!

In hindsight he did a far better job than that stupid condescending nun ever did.

That time when someone accidentally called the teacher 'mammy'. Or the time when someone else accidentally called the teacher 'mammy'.

Oh, how we laughed.

The time we threw chairs at the h dip, that was a great day.

Not sure it was funny but it certainly is a memory. Sitting in Irish class in 3rd year near the window day dreaming and happen to look out the window to see some auld fella in a light fawn trench coat having a wee tommy tank in the convent grounds. Nudged my friend beside me and she looked out too. We couldn't stop giggling.

The time we decided to wind up a real drippy teacher by going one by one, starting at the desk nearest the door, in relay fashion to the toilet. She was also terrified of mice so one of the girls in the class started screaming and jumped on the table as did we all as planned and poor teacher was on hers screaming sure that there was a mouse. We were awful bullies to her now that I think of it but we thought it was a bit of craic.

I loved school, we had so much fun.

Best day in school was the day a mad lad decided it would be a good idea to grab a handful of potassium from the jar in the science lab (the potassium that was in a jar of oil as it reacts so much with water) and then ran down the hall with it in his hand, ran into the jacks, and threw it into the bowl. Just to see what would happen. Oh my days. It blew up like a bomb once it hit the water, broke the toilet bowl, flooded the jacks, and left a mark in the ceiling showing where it had blown up into the air.
Classic. A fantastic day to be a schoolboy in Waterford City in circa 1987.

They had a parents evening, with a raffle. First prize was a huge bottle of whisky. We robbed it and got locked, someone pissed in the "parents" tea urn and they all had tea, then it all got blurry. We lolled a week or two later, at the time, not so much.

lovely teacher in primary school, real lady, really kind etc........all the kids doing arts and crafts...collages I think they were called.......cutting bits of cardboard with scissors and glueing them to paper, as you do...........one boy for some reason got the teachers coat which she had hanging on the back of her chair, which had a slit up the back and proceeded to cut from the slit right up to the top of the collar.....so the teacher was left with 2 halves of a coat?

It was bizarre at time, remember there being killings, oh a terrible incident has occured and his mammy being sent for and the whole shebang and now even 35 years later I still know the guy and he has no idea why he did it as he really liked the teacher but he remembers it well.

We thought he would turn out to be an axe murderer or someone scary who would hate animals but he turned out to be a lovely guy as well.

Had a free class one day on the sunny side of 3rd year in the afternoon. There were no teachers spare so the principal took us over and decided to put us to good use by cleaning the hall outside the study hall. We did this and then he decided to get us to clear out the tuck shop of any rubbish left behind.

We were passing out empty cardboard boxes and stuff and I just picked up a box of rancheros not realizing it was full. Our principal was kind of strict and would ignite if he saw you dillydallying so out of fear I just shunted the box onto one of the lads who also realized it was full but had the same reaction. The principal was over our shoulders and so the box was pushed out the door and into the hall. The bell is about to go soon so we are allowed go get our bags back in the study hall but we grabbed the box and ****ing legged into into the jax and started shoving packets of rancheros into our bags.

It was funny at the time. But looking back now it was kind of lousy. I blame the principal for being a prick. It's your fault I'm a bollock.
