Reddit user Zer0Insentiv3 asked: 'What funny thing happened at school that caused utter chaos for the faculty?'

Make us preferred on Google

Everyone has a memory from their school days that always makes them laugh when it crosses their minds.

Be it someone passing gas at a very inopportune moment, an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during a school play or sporting event, or, perhaps most of all, a spectacular prank.

Of course, while every single member of the student body likely finds these incidents and occurrences hilarious, the faculty and staff often find little to nothing funny about them.

Mainly because they often have to deal with the consequences and pandemonium caused by these dubiously hilarious events.


Redditor Zer0Insentiv3 was eager to hear people's memories from school which they found hilarious, but the teachers and staff found no laughing matter, leading them to ask:
"What funny thing happened at school that caused utter chaos for the faculty?

Holy Sh*t

"2000"

"Teachers trying to stop kids smoking in the bathroom so they locked the bathroom doors."

"Kid took a sh*t on the carpet in front of the bathroom door, like right in the main hallway."

"Chaos ensued."

"Today, that kid is a pastor."

"Lol."- Jimmycapped

Cheaters Almost Always Get Caught

"It wasn't funny, but when I was in high school, there were two teachers in the school that were married."

"I was sitting in the husbands classroom waiting for the class to start when another kid ran in and said 'Hey Mr B, your wife is making out with Mr H in his classroom'."

"Turns out they'd locked the door, but about a dozen kids were looking through the skinny door window watching them."

"The guy didn't even say anything."

"He just looked crushed."

"He just walked out of the class and never came back...I mean we never saw him again."

"Turned out his wife and the other teacher had been having an affair and he'd might have suspected, but having it confirmed by one of his students in front of the whole class was too much."

"The school didn't discipline the two cheaters, but the students sure as hell did."

"Both of them had to listen to 'cheating' puns and jokes every day."

"'Hey Ms S, I'm going to copy off Joe's test, cheating is cool with you right?'" kind of stuff."

"Neither came back the next school year."- McFeely_Smackup

Where He Went, Music Followed...

"Hired a mariachi band to follow around our principal for our senior class prank."

"It was hysterical."- JulieFromJerz

Complicated Role Model...

"In middle school, a staff (not a teacher, he watched lunch and was a basketball coach for a high school) got arrested for selling weed to the kids."

"He won an award for 'best staff of the year' that year which had an entire yearbook page dedicated to him, but he was arrested after the yearbooks were printed."

"They had to go into each yearbook and cover that page with purple duct tape (to match the color scheme)."

"Prior to him being arrested, I was getting bullied horribly."

"None of the teachers or other staff could get the kids to stop, but once the staff who was arrested said 'leave Spencer alone'," the kids would immediately stop."

"I later realized he was threatening to take their weed away if they bullied me, and that's why he was the only one who could get them to stop."- Spencer2091

Funny Might Not Be The Best Word...

"Someone had a baby in the bathroom stall."

"I wish I was making this up."- JacobCStowe

Legs Are Legs!

"They banned shorts because they were not professional enough."

"So all the boys wore skirts as a protest."- Haboobalub·

Or Did They Just Have A Time-Turner In Their Pocket?

"One of the classrooms at my school was a prefab hut, and over time it developed a hole in the floor at the back of the room (developed, or was helped, unsure)."

"Every lesson I had in there for a good few months before they fixed it, someone would arrive, greet the teacher, and sit down."

"Then after a few minutes they'd arrive again, straight-faced 'sorry I'm late sir', and sit down."

"Then again a few minutes later they'd arrive again... etc."

"The fun part was watching the teacher playing the memory game of figuring out who'd arrived too many times."- telnorp

Depends On How Short We're Talking...

"Freshman year one of my friends wanted to me run for student body vice president as a part of his counterculture party."

"He insisted on having me be his VP, to the point where he got all the necessary signatures for me to run without my knowledge and just went ahead and signed me up."

"We had to write speeches to get other kids to vote for us, and those speeches had to be approved beforehand by some faculty member."

"So I wrote a very disparaging speech about the validity and purpose of student council, laden with curse words and personal attacks towards our administration, thinking it would get screened ahead of time and they would disqualify me."

"I guess no one actually read my speech and just rubber stamped it, so on that morning they pulled me aside and handed me a printed out copy of my speech."

"I went ahead and gave my speech and I guess none of the faculty knew what to do because no one stopped me but they were clearly panicked and furious."

"I got a lot of laughs and applause."

"I assume it was too late to print all new ballots because when we went to vote my name was crossed out with a sharpie."

"I also got suspended for 5 days despite my explanation that I did not want to run and submitted my speech for approval, on time, fully intending to be disqualified."

"I was also told by some older student council members involved in the ballot counting process that I won by a landslide due to write ins and people just circling the black line of my name, but I have no idea if that's true."- pieonthedonkey

Ladders Must Have Been In Short Supply...

"A student got ahold of a LOT of explicit pictures and taped them to all of the school clocks, suspended from the ceiling. None of the teachers were tall enough to pull them down, so they were up there for a bit."- Unlikely_Use

A Hard One To Erase From Memory (...Pun Intended...)

"My wife is a school teacher, and a couple years ago the senior prank was them sticking a bunch of those suction cupsex toys to the windows."

"And let's just say that the school has a lot of windows."

"It was the brain child of some douche bag architect who thought building a high school with no walls just windows was good idea."

"Any way, they managed to get the largest of the them stuck to the 3rd floor outside window, of one of the classrooms."

"So the male assistant principal gets a ladder, but its not quite long enough so he's teetering on the top of this ladder trying knock a 2-foot long purple d*ck of the side of the school with a broom handle."

"She said he was beating that thing as it owed him money, and it was just bouncing around, flopping and banging against the window."

"While everyone watched through tears of laughter."- Nutesatchel

Did ANYONE Find This Funny?

"Someone in my high school sent letters to everyone they deemed 'virgins' parents saying their son or daughter was tested for and found to have an STD by the school nurse and that they needed to come to the school immediately."

"Used the school letterhead etc so they got charged with mail fraud lol."- B__Malz

When In Doubt, Follow Moses...

"In my HS, there was a solid week where somebody set a trash can on fire daily."

"Nobody knew if it was one person or a group of people, but I think after day five everyone got pretty tired of having to stand out in the football field while the fire department inspected the area.

"It stopped after that week with no explanation and no word from the culprit."

"Second best was definitely the senior prank performed by the class two years ahead of mine."

"They bought crickets from our local PetSmart and set them free on our school’s main staircase."

"It took forever to get rid of them and I can remember sitting in class and hearing faint chirping coming from seemingly every direction."- Livingroxets

"A boy in my class brought some locusts in to show and tell."

"They escaped and got into the air vents."

"This was just before summer break."

"School came back to a full-on plague."- Big_Explanation_8803

Needless to say, one has little doubt that any of the planned occurrences in these stories were ever meant to be found funny by the faculty or staff.

Even so, one also has little doubt that they've all looked back and laughed about some of these with the passage of time...

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
