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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
