    P*ssed myself when in was in the Beavers (like the Scouts for younger kids). I was wearing shorts, standing up, and there were people sitting behind me. Nothing I could do really, so just had to carry on playing Bulldogs Charge! I also accidentally sat on someone (a hot girl who was sitting on one of the benches) that day, oh well

    I've never been embarassed in school. I'm one of those "super cool" students that everyone secretly hates but won't admit it

    Not me but a guy in my class.

    We used to go swimming for PE regularly because the school had a swimming pool. One day I wasn't swimming so I was sitting on the benches by the side of the pool with a few other people. One of the lads in my class got out of the pool with a (not so huge!) boner. Everyone on the bench was screaming at him to get back in the pool and everyone in the pool was screaming at him to stay out of the pool. The poor guy was so confused!

    There was also the incident where a girl should have waxed.....

    +1 to embarresing erections.

    I remember once in 2nd year, we were having mass, and I was sitting in the front row, my imagination drifting to other things. Then, all of a sudden, it's time for communion, and the priest is making his way across the front row of people, each person stood up, got their communion and sat down.

    I had very little time to think about it. I shifted it to the side and tried to disguise it as something in my pocket. Stood up, quickly got my communion and sat down.

    No laughs, "I got away with it" I said to myself, and forgot about it.
    Next week, I'm sitting in a crowded class waiting for the teacher to arrive, and someone says loudly "Anyone see Blisterman's boner, while getting communion last week?" greeted by a chorus of yeahs and laughs.

    I suppose I should be flattered that even at that tender age, my boner was so noticable.

    Back in school during one of the classes we were waiting for the teacher to arrive. Everyone was talking amongst each other so there was a bit of noise.
    I went to go to the bathroom and as I was leaving one of my mates asked where I was going.
    Cue me turning around and saying rather loudly "I'm going for a ****" just as everyone in the class stopped talking. They all looked and I kinda shrugged my shoulders and said "If anyone wants to help, come one..."
    That bit was fine, it wasnt until I turned around that and noticed the teacher standing there with a look of shock on her face. She was like 60 odd and very prudish. It was pretty funny.

    It was a blisteringly hot day back in the early days of Summer 94. So so hot. Even Pigheads sweat was sweating. It was time for the Leaving Cert Oral French Exam and Pighead Was Wondering why he had capitalised words that didn't really need to be capitalised in that mornings written French Paper.

    Anyway, confidence was low. Pigheads French was weaker than Shirley Temple Bars hole. "Conecentrate Pighead, it's all about the start. Get that first sentence out of the way and the confidence will built and before you can say Va Va Voom the ordeal will be over and you may just well scrape a pass"

    So sat outside the exam room and mantra like repeated "Bonjour Monsieur, Bonjour Monsieur, Bonjour Monsieur"

    "Pighead, you're up buddy. Best of luck" said Fatty Farrell who had just finished his oral and was headed straight for the canteen for a celebratory bag of chips.

    Deep deep breaths and in Pighead walked.
    "Bonjour Monsieur"
    "Je ne suis pas un homme, je suis un femme" came the reply.

    Pighead franticly looked her up and down and she was right. She was indeed a woman. Not even a hint of Monsieur about her. And that was it, Pigheads already brittle confidence was shot to pieces. It was game over, on yer bike, au revoir. Pighead had failed an oral test for the first and most definitely the last time in his life.

    France 1 Pighead 0.

    I was standing out side the study hall with all the lads and someone asked what spooning was, now I'm a big fan of the Prison drama OZ and spooning in that show involed putting a spoon into a guys ass. So off I went explaining what I thought spooning to be, and I was right in the middle of the sentence "And so they take a spoon and shove it into your ass and scoop anything out for the craic" just as the teacher was standing right behind me with a look of shock on her face ! I just wanted to melt into the ground it was that bad !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,608 ✭✭✭themont85


    My junior infants teacher seeing I'd pissed my pants(it was 10 times more embarasing when I got to the age where I realised she was a hot teacher).

    Also I had the worst squeek in one of my classes in 1st year just before everyone's voices started to break. I didn't know wtf has happened and was abused about it constantly.

    Lol I know of many Irish people who use the word 'mom'. It's been in use in Ireland for a long time. It's not just an American thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,598 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    On lunch hour one day one of the lads in the class threw a blue ink cartridge from a pen across the street and it landed on the head of another guy in our class, with hillarious consequences. He didn't realise that the whole thing had basically exploded on his head and leaked through every strand in his hair. The guy went back into Irish class after lunch (without looking in the mirror) with a full head of blue hair, much to the amusement of everyone else in the class. The teacher laid in to him for having the cheek to come in to class looking a state.

    totally agree. not American myself, my OH is but thats nothing to do with it I have always said that. Anyway.....back to funny stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭jiltloop


    I remember one guy who was cycling back from his lunch into the school yard when the handle bars came off his bike. His face was a look of pure panic as he still tried to turn the handle bars even though they were no longer connected to his bike. He then dropped the handle bars and tried to steer by grabbing the vertical bar and trying to steady the front wheel. He survived, other than that, it was very funny.

    Sat back from the screen and cringed when I read this as you brought the memory of when I did this flooding back to me. Teacher was walking around helping people with their work and I said "Thanks Mam" after she finished helping me. Everyone around me heard and quickly turned to the person next to them and the entire class was pissing themselves in about three seconds.

    Hahahahahahaha! That's hilarious! I'd love to've seen that!:D

    This is my son's story. One day at school during religion class the teacher asked them who was their favourite person in the world was. My son didn't absorb the question properly and thought it had to be excluding their family and friends. He was asked first and said 'Mr Hayes' without thinking(his history teacher).It was only when the other students started naming mates and girlfriends that my lad realised what was asked.:oThis wasn't ridiculed as much as you might think as this teacher is a gifted and inspiring teacher and was very popular with the students. Sadly, he left the school shortly afterwards to head down to Limerick.:(

    I can see why that would warp you.


    Poor Robson, that spoon rape haunted me for weeks.

    I thanked you for mentioning Oz anyway.

    I always called my mother mom when I was a kid.

    Anyone using "Mum" was viewed as too British.

    In senior infants, we used to change into our P.E. gear in the classroom, prob because our school was fairly poor. Me being fairly absent-minded stripped right down to me bollocks, before the teacher spotted me, cringed, and said, irritably, "Cad a bhfuil tú ag déanamh?" (it was an Irish school), cue explosions of laughter from the other kids...

    But one year in secondary school (I'd moved to a new school in Galway) was a hell of a year, including 2 particularly embarassing things...
    The erection showing thing wasn't really bad for me as I wore briefs a lot of the time. This brings another problem though as you have to keep adjusting yourself or it gets really uncomfortable. I was caught doing this by some of the lads... I think they saw me doing it a couple of times but said nothing for a while, but soon I was being slagged by half the lads in the class who were saying I was **** off... this went on for ages! I don't know if any of the girls were in on it but I'm sure they did and just said nothing, but if they did, that makes it 10 times worse!

    That same year, I was doing metalwork, and the first day got in big trouble for not bringing an apron (we didn't have to wear aprons in my previous school), and had to do some crappy task that wouldn't get my clothes dirty while the rest of the lads did proper metalwork. The following week, I remembered the day before (or maybe it was the night before) that I'd need an apron, and said it to my ma... And was given this house-wifey kind of woman baker's apron... Afraid of getting into even more trouble I wore it in metalwork anyway, and got a horrendous slagging from all the lads in their proper grease-monkey aprons and me in something fit for a 50 year old woman going to her first bakery class...

    Thankfully one lad took pity on me and later sold me a spare apron he happened to have...

    The following year was a bit better for me though

    Just thought of another one... I had a habit of picking my nose and leaving the snot under the desk, but one time we had to move our desks for some reason or other. The easiest way to move it was to turn it on its side to get it through the door, and of course the guy helping me and anyone else who happened to be watching got an eyeful of the underside of my desk, covered in almost a year's worth of dried snots... No one said anything to me about that though so I may have gotten away with it!

    Aarrghh just thought of another one, when I was a bit younger, me and this other fella were into music and tried to think of ways to sneak a walkman into school (e.g. hiding a headphone in your hand, running the lead up your sleeve and leaning your ear on your hand), so I began to naively think of myself as a bit of a cool kind of guy with my walkman in school, a bit of a rebel/messer... When one of the other messers (maybe a little impressed, maybe not) asked me what I was listening to...

    Not AC/DC, not Megadeth... (the cool bands at the time) Not even Def Leppard, but "Convoy" by CW McCall... *shudder*... the slagging I got over that! Word spread fairly quickly as others, finding it hilarious, began to demand to hear what I was listening to...

    About a week or two before my leaving cert began, we had this big "Graduation mass" where we recieved copies of the school photo. Present was everyone in my year (150+) and most of the teachers and staff. One lad was a decent singer and brought a guitar so we listened to him sing some mawkish pop tunes after the mass while some of the more emotional idiots cried.

    The weekend before this event I was at a girl's birthday party in some pub. It was karaoke night. I sang Yesterday by The Beatles becuase I was drunk and feeling class clownish. I must put emphasis on the fact that I can't sing at all, that was pretty much part of the joke of me going up and singing. A jolly good laugh was had by all.

    Anyway, at the graduation, the minstrel runs out of his merry tunes and asks for some requests. As a joke, somebody yells out my name. Someone else joins in. And another. Pretty soon everyone in my year and most of the teachers are chanting my name and stamping their feet like gorillas. I have no choice, I have to sing.

    Moments after opening my mouth it dawns on everyone fairly soon that I'm completely tone deaf and I don't even know the words of the fucking song. The smiles fade and are replaced by by pitying stares. The man with the guitar stops playing. Three verses into my made up lyrics I bow and move back to where I was sitting. Applause is muted and polite. Guitar man continues playing and I feel myself drowning in embarassment.

    God, I hated that fucking school.


    are you racist?

    pissing myself in secondary school!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    Meeting a male teacher in copper face jacks when I was 16 and shít faced...

    I was going through a wear little or nothing phase...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,037 ✭✭✭BrianD3


    There were a few crying incidents in primary school, There were also one or two incidents in secondary where I was asked a question by the teacher and gave a really stupid answer, cue 30 pupils + 1 teacher pissing themselves laughing.

    The most memorable one was in 1st year of secondary school where in a quiet classroom I let a BOOMING fart, there was no chance of covering it up or blaming anyone else for it.

    That happened me going around a roundabout. I nearly shat myself.

    I seen something similar except it was a guy pulling a wheelie and the front wheel came off. it was funny watching him trying to maintain the wheelie long enough till he reached the softer grass..
    he never made it we all laughed

    I remember i got a bad dose of the squits sometime in 1st year. I held out till the break ran into the toliet and loudly pebble dashed the bowl.

    Walking out of the toilet and there was a gang of lads waiting to see who it was so they could have a good laugh. I felt terible already and that didnt help.

    Another time i fell asleep in after school study. The teacher walked down to me, lifted my desk with my head on it and dropped it. Cue me smacking my head off the table to wake me and everybody staring.
