    Yep, we did that one. Drove them nuts. With hind-sight, we were really in need of a good beating!

    We used to change all the clocks so the teacher would think it was lunchtime, or it was 4 o clock. Our prinicipal got a sweeping brush in the face after being mistaken for a girl in my class. Also poor Mrs Kennedy got locked into her H.E. room on an almost daily basis, just for the laugh. We freaked out a male teacher by swapping his chalk for tampons.

    In our christmas tests one year, somone had a remote controlled fart machine, and everyone was passing around the box and the remote seperately, so nobody knew who had what, and it kept being set off at random points.
    Good times.

    One of the class fools had one of those fart bomb things incased in glass and instead of throwing it, the gobsheet stamped on it! Also a few of us, including me:eek: put some bic pens down the radiators. You can imagine the smell in the morning of the melted plastic. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,169 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    OP, still do it on a regular basis. 6th year Honours English for me. We also lock that teacher out whenever he goes to photocopy stuff on an almost daily basis. The most common thing is really throwing paper, maybe tin foil, balls across the room. Im sure theres more aswell

    We all called each other by our mother's names. I knew the name of every lad's mother in my year. If someone walked in late someone should out a cheeky "maaarryy" in a funny voice. Hours of fun. We'd usually be late back for lunch if Neighbours ran on a bit late.

    I knew the names of the mothers of the lads in my year too, but for different reasons.....

    Not in school but during a college lecture there'd be a group of us - some sitting at the back and some near the front. The group at the back would shout, "Sexual Harrassment" and the front would reply during "PANDA!".

    Or the Boll!x game is fun too.

    In my Geometry class all the boys threw a handful of coins at the blackboards when the teacher's back was turned :eek: He nearly had a heart attack.

    we used to hop rubbers off the wall we were sitting beside to make it look like someone from the other side of the class threw it.

    Steal the teachers dusters

    Glue money to their desks to see if they tried to pocket the money then abuse them when they were caught out

    The bollox game was great.

    Although my favourite comment in my Journal came from a religion teacher that the class turned grey in her first year. It simply read "Singing "fuck off" in harmony with others."

    me and another chap were singing "fuck off" in barbershop form. Oh, the mirth.

    Hmm, we used to thow bouncy balls around the class, soak each other, use bubble guns, use a fart machine, wet tissue and throw it at people and the roof, tacs on chairs, fun snaps( I was put on DC for that), and once some fireworks. Somebody also pissed on our french teachers desk, a few classrooms where burnt down(don't know who did it).

    Don't get me started on how our chemistry practicals went with all those chemicals and glass objects.
    What a knacker school and I was in the best class.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,584 ✭✭✭shane86


    What about substitute teachers passing around the roll sheet for us to write our names on?

    "eh....John Smith, thats you? Paddy Enright, right you so....eh....Tupac Shakur?...which one of ye young lads is Tupac?":D

    Somehow it was only when the substitutes were in did Tupac and his mates Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Johhny Knoxville and all the rest show up.


    Remember the days when if someone said something stupid or dropped something, the class would all make a sound as if we had a mouth disabillity "wuuuhhhhhhhhh" with one person roaring out "WANKER!" in the midst of it. Or when you were caught laughing down the back at some pure filthy joke when you are about 10, and you and your mate are singled out

    "Something funny lads? Whos the comedian? Sure come on, if its that funny you might as well share it to the rest of the class"

    Then you would quickly have to come up with something very mild and pretty flat, rather than re -telling the expulsionable filth of a joke you had heard (probably originally from your Dad)
    Or the Boll!x game is fun too.

    ROFL :D
    That was legend

    Similiarly, I remember one regular substitute was a fairly old chap, very religious, Pioneers set, hard of hearing. When he would ask one of the lads how he was it would go like this

    "So how are you today?"
    "Aw ridindermas,ridindermas" (said very fast)
    "Sorry?"
    "Ah Im feelin pure class sir, how are you today?"

    "So lads, where did the battle happen?"
    "Shoveduphergee"
    "Sorry?"
    "Ah, that place in Meath, the Boyne river was it?"

    Priceless :D

    We did the thing where one person would cough, then another, then another...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    We played Out The Window 1 2 3. This involved waiting til we heard the teachers footsteps coming down the hall and then grabbing somebodys book and pencil case and throwing it out the window. Whilst doing this the whole class would shriek in a really high voice "Out The Window 1 2 3" .

    The poor chap who owned the books would have to ask to go to the toilet and sneak outside to retrieve his books. It was usually Pigheads job to put up his hand and say "Please Sir, Why is Martin outside?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,817 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    Drawing cocks all over each others books

    Yeah that was good, until your mom went to sell your books to the second hand book shop...

    I have since graduated to drawing cocks on my friends cars when the windows fog up. Some things never change.

    Haha very good Pighead, a teachers pet like meself no doubt! :)

    I think everyone at one stage made noises behind the teachers back while they were at the blackboard, too hard to resist. Another one would be 'cleaning' the dusters and purposely being next to the window so all the dust could blow back into the room. Shouting "ON CHALK!" instead of "anseo".

    Don't know how we got hold of it but we had Garda Crime Scene Tape, ya know the yellow stuff. Anyway we drew around one of the guys in the class with white paint so we would have an out-line of a body on the floor, splashed around some fake blood and hung up the crime scene tape. The teacher nearly sh1t himself when he came in, thankfully he found it quite funny and got us to clean it up before the head came up.

    Man, thats soooooo 90's.

    =-=

    Lemme see. Anything from hiding the dusters, to ringing the school for a hoax bomb threat. Gave them some code word we heard from TV. Saw the bomb squad go in, and come out a while later. The teachers kept on teaching though.

    Then there was missing a class, but still staying within the school. Not as easy to do as you'd think, and you'd need a foolproof story in case you were caught. Usually along the lines of "getting paper for X teacher", or something.

    That is a classic! ohh man *wipes tear from eyes*

    We used to play the menopause game with female teachers. similar to the bollocks game, one person would say it quietly, the next a little louder etc

    Our school also called in boam hoax for the GPO. (got evacuated)
    possibly the point depot as well..
    and somebody stole the key from the front door of the áras an uachtarain.
    i kid you not.

    Some lads i hung around with tried to burn down the school, would have worked only for those pesky teachers and their fire extinguishers

    Another favourite was phoning in bomb scares at lunch time. Or we'd try turn over cars if they had been left unattended for a few weeks. (no idea who parks a car in a school playground for weeks on end) :confused:

    Or the nutter from meath who brought in shotgun cartridges so we could bounce them off walls/each other

    The other secondary school i was in had it's moments too, including the guards being called and making the mistake of parking the patrol car in the yard during lunchbreak, twas well and truly sh**kicked by the time they came back out :o

    or back in primary days we had some dozy student teacher who appeared to be half asleep all the time, so as an art project we fashioned riot gear like batons/shields from rolled up cardboard posters painted em black and put see through plastic over our hurling helmets as visors and went into the yard to re-enact the miner riots of the time. The lower classes got the c**p knocked outta em but quickly got into the spirit of things and began throwing stones at our police lines, being sticklers for form we'd try block the missiles with our shields for a while and then baton charge the minor miners lines, busting heads and arresting the ring leaders for "interrogation"...:)

    By the second day the headmaster came into the yard to find a full blown junior riot in effect...police brutality was the decision and we had our riot equipment confiscated and destroyed...damn liberals :mad:

    Ah, but the revenge is most excellent when you put the thumb tack on his chair, just before the teacher comes in (and the prankster runs back and jumps into his chair).

    It would get so that everybody would check their seat before sitting down to avoid the things, so the trick is to shove a few through a wooden ruler, and shove it on to the seat of the bloke in front of you just before he sits down.

    The trouble with that one is there is no way of playing innocent afterwards.
