Maybe you broke the rules by having your phone out or smuggling in the "dreaded gum". These folks went above and beyond with weird crap that has no business being at a school. There's always that one kid who has like a toaster or something. Speaking of school rules, here are some salty folks who shared what was banned from their schools.

It didn't take a lot to get something banned. Usually if anything was too fun, it was deemed a distraction and had to go. Sometimes kids would have a cool game going, then one kid would lose it, throw a tantrum and ruin it for everyone. Sometimes kids started black markets to sell contraband out of their lockers. Those were the days. For more nostalgic school stories, here are people's cringiest high-school moments.
We're big fans of the uncivil drama that breaks out between someone who wants stuff for free, especially when they're a huge ass about it. Apparently this one comes with some unsavory history. People have a habit of asking for free stuff and then being super rude when they're turned down, like these 15 selfish cheapskates who wanted everything for nothing.
People's reunions serve as sort of a life check-in to evaluate how well their old classmates did with life. Some people pull a total 180 after high school. Some people stay on their BS and end up doing exactly as you'd expect. If, for whatever reason your mind is still on high school, then here are some of people's cringiest high school moments.
Teachers are also trying to keep themselves entertained in the classroom. That crush you had on that one person, and the ensuing seating chart, mixup could've been a lot more than the grace of good luck that you thought it was.
This mortified high school student learned a swift and humbling lesson, in iPad insult-sharing. In his case, what he thought was a particularly inspired, vulgar nickname for only his buddy, ended up being showcased to around 100, mystified, and what I imagine, entertained, parents. I mean, come on. If you're just a bored Dad muddling through parent's night, at your kid's school, isn't this kind of a nice and humorous surprise? I think so. But, I ain't a Dad, nor am I a teacher.
What is there to say about being a teenager that we didn't wish we could forget already? Everyone does whatever they think will make them look cool. The problem is, that's hard to do when you don't have any real experiences, skills or personality. Everyone's flying blind. If this isn't enough to give you flashbacks to your blunder years, here are some more cringey high school moments.
We don't know where it comes from, but sometimes when you see someone you like, there's a certain, primal urge to impress them in the most idiotic ways possible. It's incredibly stupid, but for a lot of us, if a hot person is walking down the street, our next logical thought is "I bet she'd like to see how high I can jump." Here's a collection of the dumb things people tried, which for the record, sometimes worked.
Some of these innovative ways to cheat are so complex and time consuming that it might actually be easier to just study. We do not endorse the idea of cheating on exams, but above all else, if we can stress one thing to not do, that'd be getting caught.
High School is either a time you never forget for the rest of your life, or if you're like most people, a time you'll try to forget for the rest of your life. It's a time when people make huge social mistakes and have none of the skills to make up for them. Here are some of the stories that keep people up at night.
This tale of discovery and morally grounded action, traces back 23-years-ago, when a man named Gabriel lost his ID on a beach in Jamaica. Fast forward to present day, and we have John Hickey, sharing the story we have now, about his brother-in-law (Gabriel) having the ID returned to him after a series of surprising text messages.
