This dad was trying to show his son an anti-drug campaign video from the 90s, and it backfired terribly. Specifically, his younger daughter overheard the campaign, and ended up thinking that "eggs" were a suitable synonym for "drugs." So, she heads into school and the next thing you know she's telling the teacher that she had drugs for breakfast!

College can have weird and rigid rules, but sometimes there are ways to fight back within the confines of the system, like this guy who complied with his school's unfair printing fee by using every printer at once. In this case, a class wouldn't let him get out of the final for being sick, so he decided to play it up.
With all the stuff we've heard of and experienced with helicopter parents in the last few decades, it's refreshing to see someone actually stand up to their mom who's trying to control their social life while not under their roof. Hell, dude, it's college. You don't want to experience college life while your mom watches.
The following collection of tweets are all kinds of relatable for anyone who has ever muddled through the often disorienting, exhausting, and generally ridiculous college years. This just further deepened my sweet relief that I'm done with school. What a rollercoaster that whole college thing was.
The lesson was supposed to be "things aren't always as they seem" but based on the results, it seems like this class might be a waste of time. We've had "mindblowing" ideas like this in the past, but almost no one does them, because if they don't go perfectly, as this professor demonstrates, it becomes very awkward.
Twitter user @calluna_, responded to a professor who complained about the millennials being the lamest, most intolerable generation by transcribing a collection of 18th century student disciplinary records, and sharing her findings. Turns out things were pretty out of control in the 18th century. Makes the millennials look pretty reasonable after all.
It's known that everything about college is way too expensive, but charging a fee for a service that no one will fully use is pretty much stealing. It's like if a company offered coupons for free kicks in the crotch. Who's gonna redeem all of them? Anyway this guy decided he wouldn't make the college waste his money, so he wasted it in a way that he at least had control over. People often come up with solutions to problems foisted on them by large institutions, like this guy who was told he had to work on vacation.
Someone on AskReddit asked for teachers to share the worst examples of "my child can do no wrong" that they've encountered in the classroom. The entitlement flowing through these parents is obnoxiously strong. These teachers must've had a truly saint-like level of patience to deal with these kinds of parents.
A recent AskReddit thread has people sharing the various revenges they took on their bullies. Some of them are of a physical lunchbox swinging nature, while others are nothing short of a masterful, strategic nuclear revenge-- yes, we're referencing the sick genius who got back at a nasty neighbor by planting mint, which has roots that run a long way.
Everyone knows you don't just copy and paste from Wikipedia! You've gotta change some of those sentences around and throw in some synonyms to throw em off your trail. Students have always been pretty stupid. Are they getting dumber? Who knows. Maybe these days we just have much better ways of documenting the stupid. For more, here are teachers sharing the dumbest essays turned in by students.
It's okay to have enjoyed high school. Many of us didn't. In fact we have tons of cringey high school memories that we regret. But it's alright to remember high school fondly. It's the folks who still think high school is important after 10 years who may need a reality check.
