A day before I got in a guy set fire to the trash in the chapel. So I befriended him immediately!
Someone opened the soap dispensers and put doodoo in them.
We were no longer permitted to go on excursions to the local bird sanctuary because some students derailed the train that runs through the park.
Two girls had beef the first year the school opened. Don’t know if they were fighting over some guy or what, but one cited the other at a bridge downtown. When the other girl got there there was a huge fight, so one girl pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the neck. The victim survived and the other went to jail and we never saw either of them again.
Two guys swam to school. The school was located on an island in the river Rhine, one of the busiest waterways in Europe.
We had Shitler. Someone kept defecating in the boys washroom and drawing swastikas on the walls with it. The staff couldn’t figure out who it was, and started closing down washrooms. At one point there were only 1 or 2 men’s washrooms open - and Shitler still struck again. No one ever found out who it was.
In my junior high they had a mysterious urinal pooper. They spent months trying to catch the culprit. They even resorted to a $25 reward and a little campaign in the morning announcements. Then it turned out to be a handicap student who couldn’t bend his knees. The posters and campaign quietly disappeared without a word.
Overworked janitor who wanted to reduce the number of bathrooms they had to clean
THE black kid brought a gun to school to shoot his girlfriend for breaking up with him. That really helped to reduce racial stereotypes.
One of my classmates did the Hitler salute and exclaimed “Heil Hitler” - an expression which is (rightfully) penalized in Germany, where I live.
The guy was a son of our local police officer.
He didn’t got expelled, but he had a very stern talk with our school director. I presume that it was made clear to him that if this ever happens again, he’s out. From what I heard last, in the last few years he was really ashamed of what he did when he was younger. I sincerely hope he is doing okay now - he got into the police, and people like him who recognize that being right isn’t cool are needed.
Coincidentally my school is in Dessau; our city is well-known for producing Zyklon B, a lethal gas used in KZs across Germany, and a “case of sudden self-igniting” of a migrant called Oury Jalloh in a police cell. Obviously all the camera footage of that cell randomly broke down, there was blood found in the dining room and the guy didn’t have anything to lit himself on fire with. But that all obviously is just a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not a good city to do the Hitlers salute in (if there ever was any, which - surprise - doesn’t), tbh.
I think there’s one city where a Hitler salute would be “good”: Atlantis.
- Hitler himself fetishized the myth
- Whoever does the salute would drown and disappear.
I heard some stuff that was worse happened after I left (girl brought a knife in her bra, someone turned on the gas in the chem lab) but during my time was the Ketchup Incident.
I guess the lunch monitors felt that students were taking too much Ketchup at lunch and “wasting” it, so they started monitoring it - two pumps, no more. Well, the guy I had a crush on (funny cool rebel type, in a band, all that) decided to bring Ketchup to school to share. He got in school suspension for some amount of time, and there were kids caring signs, and I remember a few times chanting, “Free (guy’s name)”. He became a folk hero of the oppressed student. They eventually reinstated full Ketchup privileges, and it was all because of him. At least, that’s how I remember it.
A few years later, dumb ass senior boys glued the sports trophies to the floor of the gym and got in huge trouble.
Probably not “the incident” anymore, since it was almost 30 years ago now and no one left there likely remembers.
But a couple of years after I graduated, one of the kids who was a couple of grades behind me sneaked into the school at night, lit a bunch of candles on the floor of the chemistry lab and turned on all the gas taps and put towels under the doors so that the room would fill with gas starting from the top to the bottom. (I guess his chemistry class came in handy since he was smart enough to know that gases float to the top, giving him time to escape.
He went to Juvie for a while I believe, and then ended up living a pretty normal life. Last I heard he had been one of the people listed for the doomed-to-never-actually-happen “100 settlers on a one way trip to Mars” project. Haven’t heard anything about him lately since I long ago deleted Facebook and so have no real contact with the people I went to highschool with anymore (just like the old days and I love it)
edited - Sorry, thought he was short-listed. But he was cut before the short-list was announced. Edited to change.
Not my school, but one nearby. It smelled like gas in chemistry class and some idiot student thought it would be a good joke to flick a lighter. There actually was a gas leak and he set it on fire, injuring himself and a bunch of classmates. I don’t remember if anyone died.
There were quite a few, though ironically most of the “incidents” at my school were ones that happened at the neighboring public school that leaked over to my school.
I did cause a scare once though. I was the student tasked with helping with the yearbook. Where I live, we have a tradition called “most likely to”, where we make questions in the yearbook under a “most likely to _______” format and we nominate classmates to those positions. For example, one section might say “most likely classmate to graduate from Yale”, or another might say “most likely classmate to start a cult”, stuff like that. This is a well-known tradition. What I didn’t know is that inserting one that said “most likely to do a school shooting” was a baaaaaad idea. I thought it was just another entry, but I didn’t think maybe the people would panic and I’d be put in in-school suspension. Fortunately my only time in in-school suspension and thus the only time I’ve had to wear suspenders (they add suspenders to the school uniform of suspended people).
An art teacher gave some students a camera for an assignment. Apparently it contained images of his genitalia.
Remember a story a teacher told the class where it looked like a student had fallen asleep so she got her friend to try to wake her up but then a pool of blood starting leaking out of her arms
Turns out she had a nose bleed and went unconscious after trying to hide said nose bleed instead of telling the teacher
Australia btw
Even the nose bleeds are scarier in Australia!
Kid drank thallium rat poison, in an attempt to commit suicide. Thing is, thallium doesn’t kill you, it just makes you vomit a LOT. So they had to evacuate the classroom because there was a bunch of thallium and vomit everywhere.
The best part is we weren’t allowed to leave for 2 hours, because this happened at like 10 and they still wanted the day to count for the school year.
