Worst (Funniest?) Thing I Did At School

Re: "Oh no"

I was about ten years old. It was a PE lesson and we were playing crab-football in the hall. I hated PE and was pretty hopeless at most sports. I could also never remember who was in my team when we played games like this. The ball came to me, I was near the goal-mouth with no one challenging me, so I took a shot. It went in! It was my own goal. I can hear the sneers and groans of ridicule even today.

(By the way, that is a wonderful poem, Andy! )

If it makes you feel any better Marine Boy, in secondary school once I ran the whole length of the pitch in a hockey match with the ball unchallenged and scored a goal. I looked around for congrats, but was met with disdain because it was my own goal!

We also played crab football in our school.

Re: "Oh no"

about 5 yrs old in primary school, I have a vivid recollection of putting my fingers in my ears and screaming at the top of my lungs while the teacher was talking ( my thinking behind doing this was that because it did not sound so loud, no one would notice ) Teacher was extremely ****** off and gave me a right b*ll*king, during which I kinda realised that although It didnt sound loud to me due to insertation of fingers in ears, it was indeed very loud and disrupted the whole class

Re: "Oh no"

what's crab football??

You like...crouch down and then reach backwards with your hands so you are on a kind of backwards-all-fours. Then you move around like that.

You are going to tell me that we had some kind of weird and cruel PE teacher and no one else ever did this......aren't you.

Re: "Oh no"

i was a big six million dollar man fan when i was at primary school and while we were waitng for the teacher to turn up i was re-enacting a scene rom the previous nights show in front of the whole class (in slow motion of course) using one of those window poles with the hook on the end. What i didn't realise was that the headmaster was stood at the classroom doorway watching the whole thing. I didn't notice until i'd finished and wondered what all the sniggering was about. i turned around to face him and wanted the ground to open up. He just shook his head and called me a "Bionic twit".

...Should have run at a blurr with your bionic legs, punched him with your bionic arm and swiftly made it back to where you were before anyone noticed, ...and left him feeling dumb-struck.

Re: "Oh no"

I've never fogotten this, ...though I can laugh now! But it was embarrassing at the time - I was in primary 7. I wrote this poem, which I later published in a book of poetry I called 'Fragments' as a tributal-laugh to it...

A Christening



Shouldering bone to the large cedar door
resisting the weight on the handle
like a newly - felled tree
it slammed hard behind me
whilst I inhaled a chestful of candle



An entrance now foiled by the silence I`d spoiled
made it clear I was late for the mass
all the heads turned around
as the teacher`s brow frowned
as I joined with the rest of my class



I`d ran all the distance from home to the church
falling over and scraping my knee
my stomach was mourning
the breakfast I`d missed
and I desperately needed a pee



My classmates from school started playing the fool
making "psssss!" sounds and slowly going "pish...sh...sh...sh!"
I needed great strength
to maintain my control
so I inwardly prayed for this wish



Then the third time we knelt, I immediately felt
such an urge that no dam could contain
I could only let go
As I’d started to flow
and my duffle-coat started to stain



It was, firstly, quite warm and a certain relief
as I knelt there creating this pool
then, beginning to sting
became discomforting
and it stank as it started to cool



The seventh grade girls sat directly behind
heaping scorn on my mountain of shame
and all the way back
to the school from the church
they adopted my new Christened name.....

"PISHY - BREEKS!!" - they called me.

"Oh no"

Can anyone remember doing something extremely embarrising at school? When I was in the last year of junior school, at morning assembly I was daydreaming,when I came to everyone was looking at me.The teacher at the end of my line told me afterwards that when heads were bowed for prayer I started clapping,then looked at my teacher,waved and said "alrite mum".This makes me cringe everytime I think about it That was the path set for the rest of my schooling,I dont think things were ever the same again Still a bit mad now and Im 40 in a few weeks!!!

Re: Worst (Funniest?) Thing I Did At School

I never really got into trouble but had a few embarressing school moments when Iwas 12 I tripped in the school lunch line and got mashed potatos all over my shirt and the guy standing infront of me, but most embarressing was during my sophmore year of high school during a school assembly the chorus which I was in had to sing in front of the rest of the school and this girl who hated me (I have no idea why she did) stepped on my skirt on purpose causing me to fall taking half the chorus with me and as if that wasn't bad enough my skirt got pulled down to my ankles. The whole school got to see my pretty pink underwear with padding(it was my time of the month) I ran off the stage crying. I did come back to finish the concert though.

Once got almost expelled for skipping dancing lessons before the Christmas party( you know girls one side of the hall boys other!) sentenced to the Home Economics class for the remainder of the term....result!!!! I was the most popular bloke on the bus home for weeks with my fairy cakes, jam sponges, bacon & bean bake.

Re: Worst (Funniest?) Thing I Did At School

I once got told to pull my socks up, I had no idea why I was sent from the room when I replied " but they are up"

Re: Worst (Funniest?) Thing I Did At School

I was about 6 and the class used to change for PE in the classroom - boys and girls. For some reason I took all of my clothes off, the teacher just said "What on EARTH are you doing!" my reply "I thought I was getting ready for bed"
