What was the worst trouble you ever got in when you were at school?

I was a bit of a goody-two-shoes but did get detention a couple of times for not doing work:p

2 week suspension for throwing pebbles at the foot of the biggest knacker in the school.

Why? Because he was constantly getting into trouble and close to getting expelled, and instead of blaming him for his latest escapade and thus making the school look crap, after he told them this 'story', they decided that suspending me would make it look like he was being bullied by other students like myself, and that's why he was doing these things.

I've done far worse in school since then and never got anything but the odd detention. Go figure.

Got suspended for half a day for mitching. Also got detention once, again technically for mitching. Detention actually wasn't that bad cos I got all my homework for the weekend done, the only pain was getting up for school on a saturday morning.

I was suspended from a school, and chose not to go back.

I started a new school the following September.

Best thing to ever happen to me!

Saw the principal on official business more than once in secondary. Always amicable.

Was kicked out of class in primary along with a few others and ended up getting a week of proper teaching from the principal himself in a class of six.

When teachers were in the wrong I stood up to them.

Got 100 lines once for climbing a tree during PE class. I had forgot my gear and was sitting to the side and got bored.

The line was
'I must not monkey around in trees'

Stepped in the door of the girls bathroom. It seemed to me at the time that the school equivalent of a tribunal was set up to investigate the matter.

Foghladh · 28-03-2012 05:02PM

Got suspended for smoking and had a week at home clearing hedges with the dad. Went back to school on the monday and got caught again on the wednesday in exactly the same spot. Got a two week after that.
I was a rather dim young fellow

brummytom · 28-03-2012 05:03PM

Looking at 'naughty pictures' in year 5 with a few others kids. Got into terrible trouble for that.

It was the last day of term though, they sent a letter home (which I flushed down the toilet), and it was never mentioned again.

Tesco Massacre · 28-03-2012 05:03PM

Missed a couple of homework assignments in primary in the space of a couple of weeks.

Punishment: wasn't allowed to go on a trip to the Coca Cola factory.

Seachmall · 28-03-2012 05:03PM

The worst trouble I got into in actuality didn't really have anything to do with me.

I was in class when the cap of my pen on the floor fell off the table. I bent over to pick it up, as you do. After class I was told to stay back after "disrupting the class". It was me and 5 others whose offences included leaning back in a chair to pass a ruler to someone, staring out a window, etc.

We were kicked out of her class. We were then told we had to apologise to her, when we we refused to apologise we were given detention, when we never should up for detention we were pulled up on front of the principal.

When we explained the story to the principal there were "lol"s all around and it was forgotten about. It had gone on for about 2 or 3 weeks before anyone actually cared to listen to our side of the story.

Expelled & escorted off of school property by the Gárdai for head-butting the head master when he cornered me in a pe-fab & started screaming in my face

Give that man a can of coke! It will cheer you up, and that's about all you missed out on in the factory.

I had to apologise to a knacker and his brother in front of a few teachers, for calling them knackers. One of the knackers ended up getting jailed for beating his wife and child a few weeks ago. Go figure.

And all because you bullied him in school. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Tom · 28-03-2012 05:19PM

In 4th class I forged my mams name on my homework journal as I couldn't be bothered doing my homework. Teacher spotted it straight away (mispelled her first name

) ) and called my mam into the school. Instead of going to the teacher my mam went to the principle and I got called into the office.

Now - my memory may be sketchy from all those years ago but what I do remeber is being shouted at for what seemed like hours by the principle. She even went as far as saying I could go to prison for fraud and would never get a job because of the conviction. I was $hitting myself. It was so bad my mam still regrets going to the principle that day nearly 30 years on...she was nearly in tears at the bollocking I got - for me there was no nerarly about it.

Good thing is that whenever I get into a sticky situation these days I remember that bollocking and smile at the thought that nothing anyone can say will make me feel worse than I did then

Luckily his "very poor level of education. He comes from a very dysfunctional family background" gave him a reduced sentence

. It was only a child anyways, you're right to stand up for this lovely man. You can visit him in jail and ask him how many times he hit the child, and then comfort him and just remind him that it's because of his troubled upbringing.

I got expelled. Wasn't my fault though.

GowlBag · 28-03-2012 05:29PM

A friend and I robbed a lump of potassium from a lab in school one day the security was low, there was a jumble sale or some such going on in the hall. So I was carrying this shîte around in a paper bag in my pocket while we wondered what to do with it. It started reacting with the Oxygen in the air and was melting and getting very hot. So I threw it behind one of the jacks, my accomplice threw a handful of water on it and off it went in a frenzy. We legged it and then watched teachers running around the yard wondering what to do as thick smoke poured out of the jacks window. But it did very little harm. We never got caught for that one tho!

ICANN · 28-03-2012 05:33PM

I never got caught for most things I did. I used to mitch a good bit but teachers never suspect you if you act grand most of the time. It's the trouble makers get caught because people are looking out for them to do stuff. I used to get in trouble for not wearing proper uniform and stuff like that.

I teach in the UK now and the kids are crazy in my school. Constantly people beating each other up and throwing chairs at each other and throwing each others bags out the window. They think it's no bother to have a chat across the room in the middle of lessons and a few boys who are out on work experience this week got fired from tesco (work experience!!!!!) I hope Irish schools never end up like some English schools.

Also teachers regularly get told to phuck off and one woman got spat at in the face earlier by a year 9 boy so the equivalent of second year.

Sykk · 28-03-2012 05:38PM

A well known junkie in my school started on me after beating up a guy where I was from..

He ended up repeatedly hitting his face off my fists. I bloodied the little scumbag up good.

Was worth it

Orando Broom · 28-03-2012 05:40PM

Never got busted flat but I had a close one.

Went mitching one day with my mate. Went rallying around in his mam's car aolmost wrapped it into a truck. Back to school shaking like leaves. Turns out the Year Master ( a sound out fella) knew we went on the hop and rang my oul pair. They were away for the day so he only go the voice mail on the answering machine. Got home Bueller style before the oul pair played the answering machine messages, blessed that there were no other messages bar the teacher and I took the tape, replacing it with one of the others lying around. (The tape was one of those little micro jobs)

The next few day the Year Master would (with a smile on his face) keep saying stuff about messages and answering machines in a not so subtle, actually-your-humour-is-****, Sir kinda way. I stayed stum and played the game. Then a few weeks after the heat died down I went into his office for a smoke and a chat with him and produced the tape, Bond style and pushed it across the desk and just smiled and smoked. He knew I'd pulled it off and gotten away with it. In fairness to him he really was a top fella. Man, we had a good laugh about that!

Suspended a few times and got a dig from a teacher. Parents were called up a few times.

I have to say I was a fan of summary justice. Got a few digs from teachers, better be done with it than face ****e from the oul pair.

One time a teacher blackened my eye. The oul lad was pissed about that. I think he had words with him about it. I got an apology from him. Most of the digging was A) deserved and

mostly harmless.

You wouldn't mind but the bloody black eye was for something totally harmless, not even a school crime in my book! (Slid a chisel across the workbench to the other lad who was looking for it. You were supposed to pass it, which is fair enough but still hardly the crime of the century.)

waffleman · 28-03-2012 05:47PM

got beat round the head for cutting a lump of hair off a girl I fancied - she had long blonde hair down to her waist - I cut it about half way up her back. Fair enough punishment I reckon. She gave me a valentines card that year too.

We are now married with 3 beautiful daughters and they all have long blonde hair!*

*this part is lies

28-03-2012 05:49PM

Just reading this thread I realise I was in trouble a lot more than I remembered, though somehow I always managed to escape getting the blame for the worst crimes. Think they all knew it was me really, but I was very unassuming and they could never pin it on me.

My parents were in my primary school about once a week because I outright refused to do homework, ever.

Got caught smoking twice in secondary school, my principal was more than a little bit peeved when she realised my parents were well aware that I smoked and were happily paying my fines.

Spent lunchtime in detention about once a week for refusing to do homework, refusing to do "clean up", refusing to do games, etc.

Got my best friend banned from the computer room and an "official enquiry" launched to find out if she had any "enemies" - I wrote a story about a very innocent but amusing event that had happened at a party, however the convent school didn't see the innocent, or amusing side of it. I knew better than to save it but I printed it, then someone else got a hold of it and photocopies started appearing around the school....She never turned me in though, fair play.

Had to carry a desk out of the study hall, across the yard in front of the entire school, and to the caretakers shed, where I can to scrub it clean having just spent a good forty minutes writing out the entirety of Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight, Tonight, in perfect calligraphy with a permanent marker.

Think the most irritating detention was a week spent cleaning the science labs at lunchtime, because myself and two friends had decided to rip up some paper in tiny pieces and throw it all over the place during Irish class, shouting "It's snooooowng!"

Painted the soles of my shoes with black poster paint, then got my tall friend to pick me up so that we left tracks going up the wall, across the ceiling and down the other wall - never got caught for that though they knew it was someone from my class, got the whole 30 of us detention.

Got into minor trouble on other occasions, such as writing cheeky comments in my copy books in response to comments left by the teachers (the best I recall when I was 7 years old and the teacher had written "Terrible handwriting" and I had responded with "I can do much worse writing".)

Aah, this is taking me back. The good old days.... though in reality I loathed school.

a few of us were sent into the library for a class because we hadn't our books with us, left them in the lockers downstairs or something

got a lecture from a teacher when we were supposed to be working on an english assignment in the computer lab during english class (about 5 of us were in the lab) but got caught playing quake instead

generally quite uneventful

What was the worst trouble you ever got in when you were at school?
