Funny stuff you used to do in school

i.need.a.job · 17-06-2010 02:20PM

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

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

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!

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

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

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 · 17-06-2010 07:52PM

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

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.

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 · 17-06-2010 09:18PM

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 · 17-06-2010 10:32PM

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 · 17-06-2010 10:32PM

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 · 17-06-2010 10:39PM

the oul bin on fire would do the trick.

Junco Partner · 17-06-2010 10:41PM

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.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 17-06-2010 10:47PM

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 · 17-06-2010 10:50PM

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 · 17-06-2010 10:50PM

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

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.

Turning bags inside out was a classic.

When we had a free metal work class, the supervisors would always be pensioners who wouldn't really be clued in to what was going on. Each desk had its own vice and when the supervisor wasn't looking, some people would get a small piece of thin plastic and put it sideways in the vice. During the class, they would tighten it slowly,you could see the plastic buckling under the strain until finally it would explode, students ducking under their desks as shards of plastic flew around the room. By the time the supervisor realised something had happened, eveyone was back to normal.

Benny Lava · 17-06-2010 11:08PM

There was an epidemic of "see who can stay standing the longest in class".

Never really much fun, but it was very popular.

One of the teachers we had was very old and not exactly blessed with good eyesight or eardrums and we would just mess as much as we could in his class. All the usual shite, from roaring out curse words to throwing things across the class. Sometimes people would set things on fire (in an ordinary classroom, not a lab).

Poor bloke was just quiet. He felt sick one day and mentioned to both a teacher and a classmate that he wasn't feeling too clever and headed home. It wasn't til going home time that anyone knew he was missing. He'd left his bag behind him. Didn't give a ****e.
I'm still not sure to this day that he realises the stories we wove around how he was "busy in East Germany sir" every time he had a cold.

Bloke was James Bond without even knowing it. I think he studies corncrakes.:)

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 17-06-2010 11:21PM

We used to bend over backwards to get each other in trouble too

You'd be sitting in class and have your head down in your hands looking all upset, teachers asks 'Whats wrong Slasher?'
'Jimmy said my mother takes psychiatric cock!'
'Jimmy, how many times have I told you, OUT!'
And so on

Or the old classic where the whole class starts humming this monotone hum, teachers can't tell who is and who isn't doing it and it drives them fupping mad

Leeg17 · 17-06-2010 11:22PM

The usual stuff, but in our school our roof leaked, badly, and it was one of those kind of ones with the square tiles like styrofoam. Some of the lads thought it would be funny to take a run, kick off the wall and punch through the roof. It worked for about 20 mins, until they couldn't reach any higher and the janitor came. They were as long cleaning up the mess and then had to write a letter of apology.

Another there was a geography and LCVP class on at the same time when our classes were split up, and they were in rooms side-by-side. When one teacher was gone out of the room, lads in LCVP started banging tables against the wall as hard as they could, until the teacher came back. Then our teacher went to complain to her, when she was gone, but before she was at that classroom, we banged on the wall also. So both met each other in the corridor with a scour on their faces, saying to shut the other room up, that they can't teach with the noise :pac:

Lastly, a lad in our class does epic impressions. When our teacher was gone from the class (geog I think it was), he rang the school on his mobile and pretended to be Sean Matthews Man and he be ringin' from Jamaica man. They were convinced and asked for his address so they could send the info to him. We'll never know if anyone got the letters...

...Ah I miss school and the craic, and I've only been gone a year

:(

Turning bags inside out and swapping the books inside with someone else's books. Cue shy student going up to german class teacher with french books and had to go off to the french class and swap back. We used to put locker locks on the zippers of bags just for variety. "Miss I can't show you my homework as my bag is locked!"

T-square fights, just wooden ones, we weren't animals. Making sure you got a desk with a shelf underneath, some lad chipped a tooth over that. On the way back from school we got a bus and there was always conkers thrown up stairs with older kids down the back launching them and younger lads the targets up front, had to but your bag on your shoulders and keep your head down but was great fun come autumn! The rest of the year it was just sandwiches thrown.

Putting porn on teachers desk before they came in. He had a very poor eyesight and had to use a monocle to see it! Had a great laugh with him teaching us. One lad fell off his chair and banged his head on the wall and yelled out. Teacher gives him 2 pages to write out and he complains that's unfair, teacher threatens to "double" it up to 3 if he doesn't be quiet!

In primary school we would keep and hide a small milk carton that they would give us for over a week then put it on someone’s desk at lunch time. Once some poor fella took a drink and vomited on his desk. Good times.

Leeg17 · 17-06-2010 11:28PM

Oh, I remembered reading the last posts..

There were a few iconic ringtones going around.. One was the "WARNING, WARNING, GINGER ALERT GINGER ALERT, WARNING".. I pity the two gingers we had in our year

Most people probably know of the high frequency ringtone, well sometimes we had the vice Principal sub for us. Pure pr1c he was sometimes, worse when he saw people blocking their ears when he was talking to them, because of the BBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP that only we could hear

Last aswell, someone recorded an Ambulance passing on their phone, and then when the room was dead quiet they'd play it, over and over, teacher kept going to the window to check that they weren't parked at our school for someone

i fuucking hated that. everyone used play that whenever i was around. drove me insane. :mad:

the lockers we had were ones that had their own lock built in, but some of the keys'd work in other lockers, so we'd open somebody's locker, take their books out and hide them on a teacher's desk. good times.

Funny stuff you used to do in school
