Most stupid thing you ever did at school.

I've done so many stupid things at school that I can't pick one particularly glaring mistake.

Okay, seventh grade. I wrote a short story for english class. This story involved two teachers as some of the main characters, these teachers, throughout the story, turn into two monsters and start slaying children until I, and a few friends slay them (Interestingly enough, this was done in the mid-nineties, and the monsters I had them turn into happened to be a Revenant and Mancubus from Doom 2). Now, that wasn't the stupid part, as it was a relatively interesting story (for a seventh grader). The stupid bit was I named the teachers/monsters after two people that actually taught at that school. Reward? Several months of counselling. (I still write monster stories, and kill off the people I don't like in fiction, go figure).

In college, only one instance really stands out. Then again, I'm only a second semester freshman, so I really don't have that much history behind me. Anyways, chemistry class, we're trying to clean out beakers so we can get very exact measurements on some items we're trying to weigh. The professor tells us there are two ways to clean out the beaker. The first was is to wash it out with water, then hold it over a flame to evaporate the remaining water. The second way is to clean it out with water, then rinse it with acetone (which evaporates at room tempurature, and thus will remove any remaining water).

Being the genius that I am, I decided to combine both methods. Thirty seconds later, I had, by the tongs, a beaker that was shooting out a foot long gout of combusting acetone fumes. I must have used more acetone than I had intended, because the flames lasted a looong time. Needless to say, I was forbidden from transporting acetone within ten feet of a bunsen burner for the rest of the semester.

In high school two incidents spring to mind...

1. In chem class we were extracting chlorophyll from leaves by boiling them in alchohol over a bunsen burner. Step 1: knock over alchohol onto almost full years worth of chem notes. Step 2: in trying to save notes, knock over bunsen burner onto said alchohol soaked notes.

2. Again in chem class, after finishing an experiment early, I asked if I could mix together my remaining chemicals. The teacher saw no problem with that as he figured that nothing harmful could be produced. After a couple of minutes the mixture in my beaker erupted in a cloud of vapour along with the odour of rotten eggs. As we evacuated the classroom the teacher wondered how the hell I produced hydrogen sulfide without having any sulphur.

In University, again in chem class, we were working with concentrated nitric acid. As I was a bit of a pyrotechnic buff in my youth, I thought it would be a good idea to take some home with me for future experiments.

As I was transfering the acid into my own container, I accidently spilled some on my finger. As the acid instantly kills nerve endings, I didn't realize what had happened. A few minutes later, I noticed a wisp of smoke pass before my eyes. Wondering what the hell could be smoking, I looked down and saw it was my finger. Luckly, not much damage had occurred, but the finger was permenantly stained a bright yellow. It stayed that way until the skin naturally flaked off months later.

Back at the dorm, on the weekend, I had gotten myself drunk on vodka. Returning to my room, I spied my container of acid and wondered what would happen if I poured in my vodka.

I managed to avoid the eruption of boiling acid but now had to deal with the problem of my room filling with suspicous looking red fumes. I ran to my floor advisor's room and demanded a wet cloth and a bucket. Putting the wet cloth to my face I entered my room and emerged with the fuming mess inside the bucket which I was able to safely dispose of.

Later I learned that the head advisor had considered evicting me, but as he was from my home town and knew my folks, he reconsidered and just buried the entire incident. I learned my lesson and didn't bring home any more chemicals (not counting that liquid nitrogen incident).

Brought a knife to school by accident once ( back in elementry school, thank god it was before columbine ) ...

The dumb thing i did was telling another kid i had it ... I ditched it in the bathroom cause i didn't wanna get caught with it, and the kid that i told had told the principal that i brought a knife to school and was threatening to stab everyone with it.

When i went to schol i was bullied quite a lot. So one day i lost my temper and picked a guy up and threw him out an open 2nd floor window. The dumb thing i did was not stamp on his knucles as he dangles off the window ledge.

In my grade-12 year, our chem lab had been renovated, and the security lock was defective. Some of us figured this out quite by accident, so accepting the invitation, we did our on series of extra-cirricular experiments.

No, that wasn't the stupid part. We were quite sane, and everything went well. The stupid part was that a friend of mine decided to share our secret with his younger brother (grade 10) in the final week of classes.

That brother decided it would be neat to get some phosphorus, which burns so very prettily. I guess this is where some people learn by hearing, and others learn by doing. Had he listened in chem class, he would have known why phosphorus was stored in oil. Now he knows all the same!

Grade 7. The school bully decides to attack me. I was in Karate for a while, and can defend myself pretty well, whereas all he has was large size and strength. I tried to disable him, but accidentally knocked him out (the roundhouse to the head was just a reflex).

I got in deep shit for defending myself.

In high school I did a lot of things which probably should have counted as stupid but don't, such as
*spraypainting the parking lot with my band director
*cussing out people in the middle of class on several different occasions
*mocking teachers to their faces in the middle of class
*putting a Darwin fish and a Jesus fish on the back of my truck, nose to nose, and then waiting for somebody to raise a fuss about it
*making fun of idiot pregnant girls to their faces
*attacking a stupid redneck
*running barefoot across a icy parking lot in the freezing rain

Actually, that last one didn't end up too well. But the others, through random luck and/or total idiocy from the other parties, ended up pretty much alright.

College:

Dry Ice & Liquid Nitrogen+Dorm, Quad, Gym & Administrative Bathrooms.....

PS, thank god they never caught us.

reducing tempature of sewer pipes to well below -100* (both C & F) is not suggested.

It started with Replacing all of the urinal cakes with Dry Ice, figuring steam/fog comming out of the urinals would be funny....

Then that was such a huge sucess, with the help of some female lab partners we started flushing small amounts of Liquid N....

of course that didn't quite work as well as we had thought since it froze all the pipes instantly.... (and burst them in several places)

(This was during the school day, last period)

While working on the school play, a few of us were waiting for the lumber yard to bring our shipment of wood. Bored, I took a paper clip, straightened it out, wrapped it around the metal end of an insulated screwdriver so that it had two prongs, and jammed it into an outlet in the auditorium.

Ka-fucking-boom. A spray of sparks later, half the school was without power. We somehow managed to trip half the circuit breakers in the building. Thinking quickly, I grabbed a drill out of the back and when the janitor came in to investigate, I told him I had plugged it in to test an extension cord and it went *poof*. Luckily for me, the plug I had shorted out was old and dilapidated, so the janitor actually believed me. Within five minutes the power was back on, and no harm had been done to any computers or what have you.

Yeah, teachers have weird names sometimes. My lit teacher's first and second names were Danford Digby. We cracked up after hearing that one.

That's ok - he called me "Shitovsky" after that, so we got even.

It's really weird like that. Here we have Dick Tracy, a history teacher, David Fawcett, a chemistry teacher (not that funny, but some people just crack up for some reason), Dick Cochs (Yes, it is pronouned cocks), an art teacher, and Mrs. Grimm, the PEAK (in-school suspension) teacher.

And for dumb things...well I had a 4.0 up until this quarter. I think my GPA in this quarter might be a 2.

Waaaaay back in 6th grade I got bullied alot and was too chicken shit and insecure to do anything about it. Well one day I decided to try, however rather than attacking the actual guy that made fun of me I went after one of the other guys who used to be a good friend but who started hanging out with bullies and not me. Now, you would think I was attacking him out of some sort of revenge for feeling that he betrayed me but nope, I actually only went after him because I was too cowardly to attack the main guys who were actually making fun of me (the other guys were a bit bigger than me, he was more my size).

Anyways, it obviously resolved nothing and of course made things worse. My dad standing their on school grounds egging me on during the "fight" didnt help things either and later just made it so my dad became a target for their insults and mockery during the rest of the year. Luckilly once highschool came I had completely reformed myself, made new friends and never had anymore problems.

In highschool the stupidest thing I did was in one class with computers I renamed the IE icon to "Internet Exploiter" and the Netscape one to "Netscrape". I figured it was harmless because I assumed they were just shortcut icons, but nope, they were the actual executable files, and later when I was in another class I was called down to the office and got in deep shit for it. It was ridiculous because even though it was a stupid manuever on my part, all they had to do was rename them back to what they originally were called, instead they made a huge fuss and the teacher almost dropped me from the class.

You know they probably didn't know what you did or how to fix it - some teachers are like that, particularly with technology. Most of my teachers were real dinosaurs and couldn't figure out how to operate the room's VCR, let alone the computer network.
