    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.

    ugh that is absolutely disgusting, how the hell did ye manage to get his stool?

    Me and my mate had this ridiculously stupid way of annoying our maths teacher last year.


    We'd randomly agree with everything she said.

    "So this is pythagoras"
    "Yep, that's right, yeah"
    "Asquared+Bsquared=Csquared"
    "Yep, definitely, Yep"

    We'd repeat this Ad nauseam.

    She took us out the class one day, fuming.

    "I DO NOT NEED PARROTS IN MY CLASSROOM"


    We went in, sat down, looked at each other and knew what to do.

    "Nope, that's wrong, nope"
    "Where is this Pythagoras bloke? Get him here now"
    "No, definitely not"

    Ahh she loved us.



    Yep, and whistling/singing. We'd occasionally burst into the chorus of 'Buffalo Soldier' to annoy her.

    We used to sit outside the classrooms at lunch time on either side of the hall. Depending on where we were in the school, we usually played one of two games:

    1. If it was a normal wide corridor, we used to sit on either side of it with our backs against the wall and our bags at our feet. Anyone who dared to walk down the corridor was then knocked over as we used our feet to slide the bags at him. One fella thought he could outsmart us all so ran down the corridor and tried to jump clear over us only to be hit in mid-air by a bag and then pelted with about 30 others as he crashed to the ground.

    2. Some of our corridors had double doors in them, one of which was usually always locked (after a few weeks, everyone had worked out which one it was). We used to have someone crouch down behind the 'open' door and watch as people walked down the corridor to us. We used to have a "waaaaaaayyyyy" building up as they neared the door and then used to go mad when they walked face first into it!

    Used to get up in the middle of class pretend to be throwing something in the bin, walk by the bin and back down to the desk again in a loop of the classroom. We would have competitions to see who could get the most laps of the classroom without being noticed. Think the most I ever got to was 12 or 13!

    I remember a bitta whiskey at lunch one day in 2nd year...

    And the 'sandwich' locker... That really stank the place up...

    Spraypainting knobs on all the trees in the smokers corner of the grounds...

    Playing 'bogeys / bollocks / suck my cock' and other variations of who can say it loudest and get away with it...

    Deliberately walking into the wrong classroom at the same time every day for 3 weeks...

    We always pretended to lose our schoolbags, too, and took half a day off wanderin' round the school looking for them.

    Kicking in bottom lockers, especially when you're a 6th year and have the top one and the dude is a newbie 1st year and can't you sh*t about it, the look on their face when you do it in front of them is priceless and I always threw in a laugh to rub it in. Anyone who went to Rosmini will understand

    There were times when someone would genuinely cough, and the entire class would start mimicking it. First just 2 or 3 people, then more joined in until 30+ students sounded like they had tuberculosis.

    Also, we'd role up small bits of paper, and use straws to 'spit' them onto the back of the Christian Brothers cassock's. They'd walk around all day with little balls of white paper stuck to them.

    And in secondary we had a Christian Brother french language teacher who, for 5 years tried his very best to teach us basic French. In the leaving cert, only 6 of us took the French exam, and only 3 of them passed. On the last day of school, we met with all the teachers one final time and most of the class said our goodbye to him in any language except french.....Adiós, Arrivederci, Auf Wiedersehen, Até a vista etc. He seen the funny side though, and said he was glad we at least learned some words in another language.

    -sit in the second last row of the class. grab a handful of crayons/chalk/etc. and lob the whole lot up the class, striking as many people as possible. as they all turn around, enraged, you turn around too, acting equally as enraged. all the poor saps in the back row get the blame.

    -record your teacher's name into your phone, set the recording as the ringtone, tape the phone under a desk, ring the phone and drive the teacher mental.

    -shoving black cat bangers into small tubes of paint and lobbing them out windows. so pretty...

    -being scuttered drunk in double-biology, followed by maths... great fun.

    -lobbing a handful of change up into a metal sink (one of the loudest sounds ever!!!) while in the class...

    -calling your year head a pathetic, petty moron (3 weeks detention)

    -writing a whole essay composed completely of lyrics from different songs that I liked at the time

    -for April Fools, crashing and stumbling through a classroom door, covered in fake blood, with theatrical make up on to look like facial knife wounds, mumbling 'they got me', before collapsing onto the floor. nearly gave one of the older teachers a heart attack.

    One fella got expelled for ringing up another school saying there was a bomb in the building. Place was evacuated.

    Christians in Cork?

    was the French teacher a small black haired guy with glasses by any chance??

    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.


    haha yeah were everywhere :) and bastard changing to bollocks or "ring-stings" as it was about six weeks ago haha. And i think i know what teacher ur talking about. Maths?!


    I have some deadly memories of school! Like before the science classrooms got done up, and we had the science benches where there was wood at the front, so u couldnt see underneath them, and everytime the teacher turned to the board, you'd start from the back and one person would go under the desk and you'd see how many you could get before they noticed! There was always the one ****er who'd be under the desk and try and pull you off your stool while u were sitting on it.

    Of course there was the wet tissue paper and everytime a teacher turned around to face the board a piece would smack the blackboard.

    And who could forget the infamous business studies teacher, absolutly pathetically slow. We'd rob her clocks off the wall, her dusters, anything we could. One day, we turned her whole classroom the other way around, and when she came in, she just carried on like nothing had happened.

    School was the best I'm only gone three weeks and I'd do anything to be back!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    Fart very openly and loudly and immediately blame the lad sitting beside you.

    Works like a charm and will make you laugh so hard that you have to be removed from the classroom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭mardybumbum


    Myself and a mate used to climb out onto the school roof from the woodwork room. I went to a pure doss school so the teacher wouldnt be in the class half the time. Left us free to our own devices.
    Then when on the roof, we would make our way over to the velux window of the tech drawing room, and give it a loud knock. It was right over the teachers desk. All the students in the class would see us, but he was totally oblivious.
    I dont have a clue how he didnt cop on what was happening. We did it nearly every day.

    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?

    This happened in my school, though it wasn't done by me.

    A somewhat prissy Geography teacher was doing his usual class (on the 2nd storey floor of a three-storey building) when one of the usual troublemakers does something garden-variety. 'Right, Jenkins (not his real name), off to the Dean with you.' Yer man starts pleading with the teacher, practically crying, saying he was on his last warning, that one more detention would result in a second suspension, which would mean he could get expelled. 'me life won't be worth living,' etc...

    No dice. He's sent off to the dean. About five minutes later, though, there's a massive shout, and the class sees the flash of a school jumper past the window. :eek:

    Everyone runs to look out and see what happened, and there's someone lying face-down on the grass outside. Geography teacher's face turns white, he runs out of the classroom.

    Turns out yer man put his jumper on a schoolbag before chucking it out of the top floor window. He also convinced a mate to lie on the grass down below. Incredibly elaborate, cruel and possibly insane, but I wish I thought of it.

    I put a condom on the end of a hammer in metalwork one day.

    The teacher was a bit simple and called it "sexual assault". No joke.

    You sure he wasn't just lending a title to your piece of 'found art'?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭AskMyChocolate


    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

    Excellent work young man. But, if it didn't end up with yourself and Jimmy doing silly teacher impresions around a mouthful of fizzy cola bottles, then you missed a trick.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭AskMyChocolate


    Funniest thing though, was when we were in third year. We were in a real disciplinarian's class,but he also was a huge patriot and had a great interest in the horses.

    One bloke took his life in his own hands and asked, "Sir, is there any chance we could listen to whether Bobsline wins the Arkle or not?"

    Him: "You can put it on there quickly, but after that it's back to Maths"

    He spent the next three days explaining to us how, one single bet on Dawn Run would have been a better option....

    ...."Of course, I mean mathematically":)

    3rd year
    We had a history teacher that hated his job and nobody respected.One of the lads got an electronic buzzer(from the fun game with the tweezers "Operation") and wired it up to an antenna and a battery and hid the lot in a small orange juice carton,he then mounted a button on a pencil case.Whenever you'd press the button on the pencil case the buzzer in the juice carton would sound,a remote buzzer and it was loud.
    At the start there was just 3 of us that knew of the device,we used place the carton near the group of lads who would never be suspected of messing and then it would be used sparingly but to serious effect.
    It went on for about 10 days,a big loud buzz from a different location everyday whenever the 15 year old operator of the pencil case felt like it.The teacher was driven demented trying to regain control and locate the noise,class was totally disrupted,everybody was delighted with the madness and trying to find the perpetrators,but the button was well camouflaged and the operator was always anonymous.
    It was chaos,people would purposely look suspicious and the teacher would sidle up near them and then lunge at them grabbing their arms looking frantically for a buzzer,he would kick people out to see if the noise would stop when they left the room(sometimes it stopped and they got in trouble for a bit heh heh).
    I was a bit of a messer and those few times I had the button were amazing,the ability to disrupt the class anonymously and at will was the golden ticket.Eventually we got ratted out and suspended though.

    a freind of mine told me this story that happened in my school a couple of years back. there was this cranky irish teacher who loved the language but could not teach for crap

    anyway this guy spent the whole class throwing skittles around the room with out the teacher knowing, it got to the point where there were skittles all over the floor. the teacher noticesed this and when to get the princible. at this point everbody gathered up all the skittles and when the teacher and the princible came back the teacher had a lot of explaining to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭fakearms123


    The main one that we did back in school was as soon as a student was called up to the teacher, every student around his desk would draw some of the filthiest, vieny knobs on his copy. There was one guy called dean, he was called leonardo d*ck'Vinci or Vincent Van Dong, he was a master of his craft, he even had time to shade in the pictures and give them depth, even adding in the flying semen from a flacid penis or an black erect penis that stretched over 2 A4 pages. It was almost a privilege to have his designs cover your copy!

    One day in study hall after school, the teacher (supervising) left the room to take a phone call.

    My mate somehow aquired a muller yoghut and hurled it at the blackboard. The noise was funny enough, but the blackboard was left looking like a Japanese bukkake victim.

    Teacher freaked out when she came in, screaming for someone to own up.

    My mate just sat there with a smug grin on his face, no idea how he didn't burst out laughing.

    Tying the straps of schools bags left on top of lockers together and then watching some poor 1st year come along to grab his bag down and bring a cascading line of school bags flying down on top of them. :pac:
