school

Twitter user @deanlines, shares a viral thread about the incident from his school that involved students discovering a trap door leading to an elaborate tunnel system. It sounds like the eventual heist failed, but the adventure itself was definitely worth writing about. 

This teacher had had enough of some slacker seniors messing around and as a result, negatively impacting other people's grades in the class. Anyone who has ever found themselves muddling through a group project, and trying to keep someone else who isn't accountable, accountable, will connect deeply with this revenge. It's honestly beautifully done. Probably the most powerful lesson the teacher ever taught. Those entitled parents and kids never saw it coming. 

These students weren't having it after their teacher maliciously started targeting people. But thanks to a successful pro revenge, the tutor ended up almost getting fired, and ultimately turned into a creepy nice tutor. Yikes. 

These students thought they'd prank their teacher, but the teacher ended up having the last laugh. Ah, yes. Got to love a nice case of a wholesome revenge. Nothing gives a student the fear like a fake test with a bunch of answers there was no way they'd be prepared for answering. 

This student's business project that involved people competing on Super Smash Bros really ended up taking on a life of its own. It escalated to such an extent that they ultimately found themselves being shunned, and suspended from school. Pretty wild that it evolved into a "gambling ring." Whoops. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for teachers to share the best excuses they got that ended up being true. The following list of excuses truly shatter expectations. If anything, they're a great reminder that the world is a wild place where the unexpected can strike at any moment. 

Twitter user melmadara led everyone down memory lane with a powerfully nostalgic thread. Anyone near an elementary school somewhere around the 90s will remember the smelly jerseys, stressful multiplication tables, and fruitlessly attempting to use a recorder. For more, here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids as well as some funny 90s life hacks.

Sometimes it was a normal thing that a teacher mistook for something else. Other times it was a living thing. Sometimes weapons, and other times just weird. It's strange to be an adult and realize how schools are just pure chaos with adults trying their best (sometimes) to keep things sort of in order. Here are people sharing the drama that became their school's "incident".

Most of us want to put our high school lives behind us. We sure thought we knew everything, but over the next few years realized that we were still stupid. At least we still have our old yearbooks with all the senior quotes to look back on and try to forget about again.

Talk about a loyal friend. This guy decided to outsmart a clueless bully on test day in the classroom, to support his friend who'd gone through the ringer with the bully at hand. It sounds like the revenge played out beautifully, and the bully unknowingly copied a slew of the wrong answers. A proper fail for a proper jerk. 

Just about everyone had some crazy stuff go down in their high school days. Whether it was stupid, scary or just bizarre, these absurd school incidents will live on with us for the rest of our lives. Sometimes it was an act of rebellion that made people lose it.

Twitter user @PAYOLETTER started a thread on Twitter about bad grades people received during school. Bad grades that they assumed would ruin their lives. It's a funny thing. When in the middle of receiving a bad grade, the mind can leap toward conclusions about the future, things that haven't happened yet, and convince itself that it knows what exactly will come of receiving a bad grade. That sounds like some kind of heightened intelligence with an admirable level of processing power. Where was that during the test? 

Maybe the mind doesn't know what will happen. Maybe it's just a place thoughts pop up. Maybe in the moment of great stress, the "failed grade," and the ensuing thoughts of future scenarios...you can look at those thoughts as just that. Thoughts. Not what is. Are you merely your thoughts or something else, maybe, that can see them as that. An awareness? Isn't it impossible to be something if you're aware of it in the first place?

These people's stories about what they thought would happen after a failed grade vs. what is, certainly contribute toward the reality that what is, can be a damn hard thing to predict. 

Believing that the elite college your daddy got you into makes you better than the people are around you is some rude BS. If you are the type of person who likes to namedrop their college, other people are laughing at you behind your back. This Tumblr user has a graceful strategy to keep jackasses from casually mentioning their fancy schooling. For some college themed entitlement, here's a college slacker who demanded a classmate's notes and got denied. And here's just some fun gems from Tumblr.
