Top 10 Weirdest Things People Do in School

Constantly look at the clock

What? I can't pay attention to this stupid lecture. I need to know how much longer until lunch!

We just count down the seconds of class until we actually get to do something.

I loved doing that, waiting for dismissal with my eyes glued to the clock.

Not ask to go to the toilet because the teacher will complain

This is a typical conversation between me and my teacher:
Me: Can I use the bathroom?
Teacher: I don't know, can you?
Me: MAY I go to the bathroom?
Teacher: You should've gone before class.
Me: But I didn't have to go before class!
Teacher: Are you talking back to me?
Me:...
Teacher: Go to the principal's office!
Me: What did I do?
Teacher: You were talking back to me!
Me:...
Me: wets my pants

I think everyone does this at least once in their lifetime. Haha, the feeling of getting rejected by a mean teacher. I have to admit, this is very weird though.

When the fire alarm starts, go outside and hope it's a real one so you can go home

I'm always hoping for this. My brother told me the same thing, but it's always a drill ever since I got to this school. All the teachers are like, "Okay, stay calm, we are going to exit from the multi-purpose room quickly and quietly." What if it's a real fire?! It's the same thing on the bus in 5th grade. During our bus evacuation, everyone in the back will die while the kindergarteners move very, very slowly. So yeah, we are wasting our lives waiting for them to get out of the way. Seriously, I'm crossing my fingers every time.

I guess people either want others dead, the school burnt down, or their stuff destroyed. Ha!

Throw an eraser to a classmate instead of handing it to them

In 6th grade, before I moved schools, some guys I joked around with threw a rubber on top of a fan. Then we asked the teacher to turn on the fan, and we all started laughing when the rubber flung across the room.
I miss some of the kids at my old school. :(

Some kid threw a pen in class, and it landed at the teacher's feet. The person got detention or something.

To all Americans out there, we call an eraser a rubber, as opposed to a contraceptive.

Scroll through textbook pages to see how many pages are left

I can't be the only one who does this. Haha!

Swing your chair back and forth

The chairs are connected to the desks here, so I can't swing them. Only the science and art rooms have movable stools, and it's really easy to fall off if you're leaning back. It's happened before many times.

I do this all the time, and one time the teacher was talking about how some other kid broke his bones because of it. (I think we all had that talk about that kid.)

I used to do this with my friends all the time when I was little. It was a miracle none of us ever fell off!

Secretly chew gum in class

Chewing gum is one of those things you have to hide from the teachers, but everybody does it.

My teachers let us chew gum, but we can't make those popping sounds when we blow bubbles.

Kids in my class are always chewing gum. The teacher does not approve.

Daydream without realizing it

I did that once. I wasn't thinking at all, probably because I'm a girl. My teacher asked me a question, and I must have looked like I wasn't paying attention. Then she said, "Hey, what's the answer?" and I said, "Uh... I don't know." Then she called on someone else. When that happened, I felt weird and stupid, but now I laugh at that moment!

Me: *has funny daydream*
Teacher: So as you can see, 6 million people died in that war.
Me: *laughs because of the dream*
Teacher: Why are you laughing about that?
Me: Wait, what?
Teacher: 6 million deaths?
Me: What? No, I wasn't laughing about that, I was laughing about my daydream!
Teacher: Why were you daydreaming and not listening to me?
Me: *dies*

Try to whisper to the pupil next to you

I used to do that, but then my teacher moved me (even though my best friend Josh was whispering to another kid at that table more, no offense to him). Now, there's nobody to talk to. Even worse, it happened on tech day. My teacher probably regrets it though, as now he's likely going to try to move Josh or that other kid. Either way, whether it's Josh or the other student, I'll probably beg for one of them (since we're like an art trio) to move to my table just to get in trouble with that teacher. Feel free to skip this if you want, but this really defeated the purpose for me.

I'm so good at whispering. That's what I do in History class.

Start a flash mob in the hallway

?

Shout "Boo!" at your classmates

?

Draw graffiti

Today, there was graffiti of an "inappropriate male body part" on my chair that looks like it's been there since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
There is also a lot of ancient, prehistoric gum stuck to the bottom of desks, even though my school bans gum.

I found a GIANT picture of a male part under my bed during the 5th-grade camping trip. It was a girl's cabin. I found another one a year later in my middle school bathroom. It was a girl's bathroom.

Color with a pencil on everything

I added this. I do this every day. From folders to tables to paper - anything but my body and clothes. Trust me, you do not want to see my math notebook.

I have expensive pencils, so I can't afford to unnecessarily waste any of the lead.

Coloring on myself? The pencil would be gone, haha.

Rip up your test in frustration

My whole class did this one time.

Forget to do homework and lie that it's at home

I never needed to do this myself, but in one of my classes, there are these three guys who use this excuse every single time we're due to hand homework in. It baffles me how the teacher has never caught on.

I heard a funnier one in my old 4th-grade class: some kid said his grandma threw away his homework, and I think he was telling the truth. Anyhow, he still got in trouble.

Sometimes it works for my class, depending on the teacher and their mood. Often, the teacher goes on about, "NO EXCUSES!"

Take a phone call during class

One time, our history teacher didn't let a kid take a phone call and got really mad when the student said it was their parent. The teacher wouldn't let them take the call, and the kid ended up going to the office.

Start erasing the board without permission

I vandalize it. In my high school, some students would draw elephant farts on the board, and I would add farts and poop to them. XDDD

It's fun, and some people do it sometimes too.

Stick bubblegum under the desk

Even lab benches aren't always safe. Once in a chemistry lab, I made the mistake of accidentally putting my hand under one of the benches, only to find a fresh blob of chewing gum stuck there, along with about ten more rock-hard pieces. Who knows how long they'd been sitting there?

Our desk has these pipes that hold the top in place. I used to stick my finger in the pipe under the desk, and one day I found gum. I never did it again.

Kiss in the hallway

Definitely not something I'd do in a hallway, considering people would make up rumors and talk about it for days.

If I ever see that really cute boy from my primary school again, I'll snog him senseless - in a corridor, at the bus park, anywhere.

I'm NEVER kissing anybody at school. Especially since I'm not even interested in dating.

Breathe loudly during class

I've done that before. I think some people got confused.

Hope a teacher would die at some point

Pass notes during class

There was a love letter that my teacher read out loud once. She embarrassed one of my friends during class.

Passing notes is something I haven't seen anybody do in a long time.

I troll note passers by shredding their notes.

Ask if algebra would mind if you dated the X

Yell "666!" in front of the popular kids

Fling Cheetos across the classroom

Well, not in my classroom, but on my bus, they do. Flaming Hot Cheetos.

What a waste! Wouldn't you rather eat them?

Go on PBS Kids on the school computers

The special ed classes in my high school had to go on this site.

Make a giant tower out of erasers

One day, the English teacher was absent, so we were allowed to do anything we wanted. I tried with my erasers and my partner's erasers, who found it interesting.
We got eight erasers, and when we were placing the last eraser, the tower fell down like a very long building after the base was broken. LOL
