Most stupid thing you ever did at school.

Yeah, what the topic says. During yer school years (or if you're still in school), what did you do that would constitute as up-the-creek moronically stupid?

Well, I remember a few years ago when a friend brought in a pair of (real) handcuffs to school. Me and a few people went to a secluded section, and they started to play around with em. Well one of the idiots managed to almost lose the key and...your imagination inserts info from here on.

A long time ago in a small village not so far away a friend and me were playing on a patch of ice in the schoolyard,then the ice broke and we fell through it and after that we were the only two kids at school with plastic bags on our feets while our boots and socks were drying.

damn we looked like idiots.

I'd say everything I did in my 7th grade year. I had no friends, my grades sucked, and I managed to embarass myself constantly.

In 6th grade, I wrapped a paper clip around a ruler and plugged it into the wall socket on a dare. Big flash and bang. In class, too.

Just before I transferred to a new middle school, I got into a fight with some asshole and ended up in the vice-principle's office. He was giving me some stupid lecture on how I had control problems and mental issues, and that I'd be a failure and all that other crap. I told him, and I quote, "shut up and go fuck yourself" and walked out of his office, skipped out of class and took the bus home. The school called my parents and when I got home I was in so much shit it wasn't even funny.

Ah, speaking of chemistry, I remember when my group were clowning around with a hot plate and tongs. People kept picking up the tongs and getting hotfingered.

...until the Chem teacher caught up with us.

In 8th grade my science teacher, Mr. Sheppard, had some old hand-crank electricity generator; he would have us hold onto two metal handles connected to the generator and wind it up, shocking us mildly. He used to help us learn about pain.... or something.

Anyways, one day after school some of my chums and I finally put the generator to good use: by enforcing our learning on convection by putting in his fish tank. Needless to say, there were few aquatic survivors and I was fined $50 for the poor lives of the fish.

when I was in 8th grade I blew out quite a few electrical sockets by sticking into the sockets a U-shaped paper clip which I held with a tightly wound rubber band as a buffer.

I never got caught, but some other kid fried his hand by trying the same stunt and so the vice-principle called my parents and told them to tell me I had to stop or I was going to get expelled.

In my first semester in college I started a small bonfire with rubbing alcohol in our dorm hall.

Those two things were pretty stupid.

Beleive it or not, me and a freind of mine walked into the girls locker room, while girls were in there and walked back out with all equipment intact. And without getting caught by the teachers.

7th Grade: got into a fight with a guy. Let me describe his bio: Russian proletariat background (drunk, ingorant, and sadistic), heavy drinker (at what 13-14? shit, I can't remember how old we were in 7th grade

), his father beats the shit out of him when he;s drunk, etc.

So, I pissed him off and got into a fight, during wood workhop. It turned into a WWF Big Brawl. He beat the shit out of me (and i mean really, with the kicking in the stomach while lying on the ground sort of thing). And I was lucky, too. When our class bully tried to bully him, he lost 2 teeth and gained a broken nose.

The most interesting part, though (for you Westerners), the teacher just stood there and watched the fight with the rest of the class.

And that was considered one of the best schools in the country.

Have a very nice day.

I didn't do this, but it was so fucking funny and stupid I just have to share it.

When I was doing year 10 the year 12s had their "muck up day" - that is, for the honour of enduring six years of stifling regulation you were "given" one day where you can fool around like a mongrel and not get punished. Favoured tactics were to crossdress - so we had a bunch of tall footballers wearing girl's uniform dresses -, bring cartons of eggs and throw them at people - oh so fun -, sneak up on someone with shaving cream and ... well, cream them... anyway...

A couple year 12s decided to take things to a new extreme. Not content with merely being nuisances these year 12s set out to make GIANT nuisances out of themselves.

Now, to properly understand what happened, you have to get a brief layout on my HS's geography. There's a road that has only a single lane each way, which is where the parents come in from (a lot of these parents hadn't heard of the bus time-table, so often the road would be congested on the best of days as every motherfucker sought to drop off or pick up their offspring). There's only one main gate into the school. There are other entrances/exits, but they're reserved for the kids who are like me - who either walked to school or caught the bus and came in from a different angle. So in any case, there's only one entrance to the school for the parents who drive cars to drop off their kids.

You can see where I'm going with this, surely. If not, think what one chokepoint, a couple bored year 12 students who want to go out with a big bang, and a bunch of really fucking HUGE chains and locks will do.

Yes, that is correct - they locked the gates to the only entrance and exit for cars the school had. They did it during the night, and frankly no-one was expecting them to do it so it's not like security was called out. They locked the gates with, as I recall, huge locks and chains. When morning came the school groundskeeper tried to break the locks - and ended up breaking his own tool. They got out a blowtorch (which the school apparently has), yet no-one knew how to use it, so they had to wait for some people to come by and operate it. All while the traffic was backed up immensely, as parents were wondering just what the fuck was going on. One guy, who wasn't even a parent to a student, became late for work and sued the school for lost income. It was crazy.

Needless to say, the school's admin was pissed. Royally. But who did it? Which year 12 student could have done such a thing? Who was going to get punished? Surely the majority year 12 student population was innocent - only a few could have done such a thing (in spite of all the craziness most year 12s were alright).

Now, here's the kicker. Remember, this thread was about "stupid" actions, and while locking the chokepoint was diabolical and cunning (and real fucking mean) it wasn't really "stupid" - it would take brains and brass balls to pull it off to some sort of satisfaction. However, pulling it off was the challenge - keeping free of recrimination should have been simple, if you were careful.

And no, they weren't careful. As I understand it the conversation went like this:

Year 12 student responsible: "So, I see we're having some trouble with the gate today, eh? Traffic's backed up quite a ways. Any idea who's behind it?"

Principal: "You parked your car inside the gates."

"Fuck."

Epilogue: The students were told that if they attended the graduation ceremony, which is entirely a formality (proof - I didn't attend mine when I graduated, but I still graduated - confused much?), they would be expelled. Otherwise, they didn't want to see them anywhere. They would still graduate and so on, but they just didn't want them to show their faces.

"Wow." you must be thinking. "That's pretty lenient of them, considering."

Yes, and you'd think the students responsible would stay clear away from the ceremony. But that would be intelligent, no?

An ex-friend of mine who I (thought I) knew convinced them to go, saying all sorts of persuasive arguments like "oh, they wouldn't throw you out - trust me." They made the same mistake that I did and trusted this guy, and they went to the graduation ceremony, and there they got expelled. Talk about stupidity.

Epilogue 2: When it came to my year's "muck up day" the school was no longer fooling around. Think what september 11th did to America and scale it down to our HS (by that, I mean: dreadful event that comes out of the blue severely fucks with normalcy, and afterwards things get obsessively strict and draconian). They had security guards, cameras etc.

in 7 grade i chased a filipino girl around the school, this until the school got a call from the embassy and the filed charges against me.

Dont worry, this was not this year in the Bush/Ashcroft era, this happened in 1991.

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » 2004-03-12 02:49am

Well, as far as stupid things go I'd say this ranks pretty high. A friend of mine, who was a year behind me told me about how his senior year (I was already in college) he bought acid off a guy in the bathroom and took it then. This was at about 11 and that school got out at 2. I don't know how he handled it. But he was always a crazy fuck, and now he's a mechanic in the USAF....

Well, currently, (I got another 4 years), stupidiest thing I did was invoking a grade wide brawl, you know, broken bones, suspensions and all that.

Lucky thing was, no one noticed me, and I didnt get into the fight.
