Bad things you did in school?

[BoomerD]

The high school where I went was 3 stories plus a basement...making the stairwells 4 stories high. We used to sit on the top floor and drop sacks of flour down the stairwell...

We never dropped LARGE sacks of flour because we didn't want to kill someone if we hit them.
Made a hell of a mess...and yes, we hit quite a few teachers and students doing it.

We finally stopped when one of our group got caught. (and the cops were called)

My skill was dreaming up interesting things and tell others "wouldn't it be funny if..." and many times some other kid would jump on the idea.

- a parody of the school newspaper that was quite raunchy but featured dead-on caricatures of teachers thanks to the skilled artist in my class. I contributed some writing. There were suspensions but I wasn't one of them.

- wondering aloud why the senior class didn't plan to walk out of school in protest of one of their classmates being suspended. That really caused a mess. They decided to walk out, positioned themselves in front of each entry door and prevented anyone else from going back in. Cops called, mass suspensions...

- Discovered that the chemistry teacher used the same quizzes/tests for all classes. Volunteered to be a "lab helper" during my morning study hall. There was no chem class at that time so the room was vacant - after the chem teacher assigned me some things to do, he would head for the faculty lounge. I would grab the tests out of the desk, scribble down the answers, and put them back. This went on all year. I'd miss some questions on purpose on the tests. End of the year, they are handing out awards and they call me up to give me the Outstanding Chemistry Student of the Year award. I didn't have the highest overall average but they gave me additional consideration for being a lab helper. I should have dialed it back some more on the tests. The kid who was the real chem whiz came up to me later and asked how I could have beaten him out for the award. Still remember his name and feel bad that he didn't win.

cc fraud on school computers. this was back when internet shopping was far from secure in the late 90's.

I was a good kid, though I did get in trouble for calling a teacher an asshole once.

I was sick one day (I didn't miss too many days), and the next day the chemistry teacher gave a quiz on the film or filmstrip he had shown on my sick day. I asked him if this was going to count for me since I had an excused absence and couldn't possibly know the material, and he said we'd work something out. I failed the quiz of course, and as he is handing the graded quizzes back to the class I asked if it was going to count for me or if I would be able to do some extra credit to make it up. He said, "no, this is your grade and you're going to have to live with it." I said, "wow, you're an asshole". He asked if he just heard what he thought he heard and I said yes, he said to meet me in the library that afternoon.

When I got to the library I was still fuming. He said "what are we going to do about this? Do I need to inform the administration of this?" I told him to do whatever he wanted, because I really wanted to see what they thought of him screwing over his better students. He ended up dropping the grade and it didn't go any further

Off the top of my head: massive biohazard, "assault with a weapon," inappropriate touching, and major privacy violation.... this must have been at least a decade ago.

we did blood typing in my HS biology class. it was a fun lab.

I was pretty good until I got to college. Never did anything bad in high school. When I got into college I got a bit more sleep deprived, hung over and crankier.

Back when win nuke was a thing I'd sit in the back of the computer labs during class and routinely nuke a couple classmates that bugged the ever loving shit out of me. It was amusing watching them slap the monitor and wiggle the mouse and frantically try and figure out what was going on in the middle of a programming discussion.

I HATED programming. I had the teacher in the middle of one class stand up and say directly to me in from of everyone else "You have no place in a computing field".

So I paid other kids in my class with booze to program my assignments. From money I made interning @ $13 an hour doing computer support at a local computer development company no less

Our dorm was networked (this was mid 90's small college campus) so we bought a box of cat5, some RJ45 jacks, a crimper and a 24 port hub and made our own network on our floor to play Quake 2. We got in trouble at first but said it was for a project for our computer science classes ( 4 of us in my hallway were CS majors) so they let it go.

I was an RA for my floor and I'd let friends stash booze in my room during spring break so they didn't get busted during floor checks.

I flooded the school hall with a fire hose once (One like this).

I have put thumbtacks on the seat of the chair of a teacher for bullying me.
And he did sit on them a few times.
I also did it with other class mates. And they tried it to do it to me too(but failed).

And a teacher that hit me over the head, i hit back in the nuts.
I was sitting down and he was standing and like 6 feet, 8 inch tall.
I was provoked by other class mates and he knew that but he did not like me.

I always had concentration problems at school but that was before i found out that i have some degree of autism.

 

[vi edit]

LOL. Yeah when you put it that way. Yes. Maybe there was a reason I leaned more towards the business side of the classes I took for my degree.

The funny part is that the teach that railed on me did contract work at the place I was interning at. She had no clue that there was "more to computers" than programming. I sucked at programming. But I can design the shit out of a large scale application environment.

In middle school, I used to stack shelves in the library.

that one time I almost killed myself in tutoring school by bending the copper edge of a ruler and then sticking it into an electrical socket.

at least I had the brains to use the rest of the wooden ruler to push the copper into said socket.

When I was about six, I stuck the bare wires from earplugs into an electrical socket at home. Nothing happened.

When i was a wee little man about the same age, i had an electrical dc motor to play with and a battery. After a while, the battery would be empty and i could not play anymore. I just learned that the electrical sockets also had electricity. So i stuck the wires from my dc motor into the holes of the electrical socket. A flash and a loud bang. And it was dark in part of the house because of the blown fuse. My mother entered the room yelling what happened.
I of course pretended to not know. I was still with shock though... I did not expected that...

Worst I did was stole Spanish teacher's gradebook right after semester finals but before she submitted the grades. None of the Spanish classes had grade data for Semester 1.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I gave a not very smart kid some fireworks (firecrackers + bottle rockets) ... he decided to blow them off inside the school. I was never caught. The not very smart kid was not a rat either.

Found a bag of cheese in a locker in the gym locker room and in 7th grade, I thought it would be funny to dump it on the floor, so I did. In a neat little pile.

During gym class, the teacher found out about it and asked who did it. I can't remember how he found out it was me. Maybe someone looked in my direction when he asked, but he said if I cleaned it up I won't get in trouble. So I cleaned it up and went back to play crab soccer. Then the girl's gym teacher came and got me and dragged me down to the office where they gave me the choice of getting paddled or an in-school-suspension. I took the suspension.

11th grade, 1982, had sex with a girl in the staircase during my lunch period, got caught by the head female dean, girl got in trouble as she cut class, I didnt as I had a free period. Good times.

When I was young I found out the phone line had electricity. And when you add phone line to water you get bubbles. Latter on I learned I was producing hydrogen and oxygen.

I stuck a penny in a light socket once. An arc of hell came from that lamp... LOL!
