Ahmmma! I'm tellin' on you!
Feb. 6th, 2009 03:00 pmI told a story about getting in trouble in at school to
hawkida,
purplecthulhu,
major_clanger,
tanngrisnir, and Alice WIPIOLJ,AQPOMFL,BIANS1.
It seems that
offensive_mango has declared this to be a meme today, so I'd better share.
I went to a fairly relaxed senior school. On lunch time a bunch of sixth fromers found a supply of parcel tape somewhere. So naturally taped a guy to chair and took him out to a the school roundabout. After flailing for a bit he managed to tip the chair over to the amusement of the younger school kids who's started watching. A teacher marched over, picked the chair up, put it back up right, and left him taped to it.
I only got in serious trouble twice.
The first time I got sent to the head's office for fighting (there are over 1500 students there, so this really is a rarity). I was probably in year 9 was playing football against a bunch of year 7s. One particularly little one had decided he had something to prove, so was trying to pick a fight with the tallest guy there. Me. Now I was really scrawny, and have never been a fighter, so he'd have better off trying to wind up almost anyone else.
Eventually he got to me though. When he pulled yet another two footed tackle after I'd passed the ball, rather than dodge, I let him take my feet out, and promptly fell over. On his face. Elbow first. And got caught out by dinner lady.
The other time was a my only ever detention. I was sitting the middle of the room in front of the teacher. On either side of the classroom where a couple of seat warmers who were decided to have elastic band / paper wad war. Being directly between them I got hit a fair few times, so discreetly returned fire. But the grey matter deficient guy on the left took umbridge at the class geek joining in their game, so walked over and socked me one. Right in front the teacher. All three of us paper flingers got detention.
I was at least allowed to serve it separately from them. I spent a couple of evenings stacking chairs with a nice kid, who been caught picking the lock on the vending machine restock cupboard.
1 Who I presume is on livejournal, and quite possibly on my f-list, but I am not sure.
