What was the most successful prank you’ve
ever pulled?.
After seeing the movie Poltergiest, I thought
it would be funny to put all the chairs up
on the table stacked all weird and then open
all the cabinets in the middle of the night.
I thought it would be harmless and my parents
would get a laugh out of it.
Nope.
They believed, one thousand percent, that
it was a ghost we had in the house and it
didn't even matter that I told them the truth,
they choose to believe it was the ghost.
I'm not sure why, but I think they really
wanted to be haunted or something..
Why is it so darn threatening to see all the
cabinets open in a kitchen?
A successful but unsuccessful one.
I saw a friend walking ahead of me, so did
the old tap-on-the-shoulder-but-run-past-on-the-other-side
manoeuvre.
However, while concentrating on him I didn't
see the park bench, ran into it at full speed,
and collapsed behind it.
Through the gaps in the seat I could see my
friend looking left and right, almost freaking
out, wondering who had tapped him in the shoulder.
The tears from the pain in my leg kept me
from laughing and giving myself away for a
about 20 seconds..
Task failed successfully.
People of Reddit, what was the most stupid
thing a teacher ever said?.
Seventh grade my science teacher had a baby
so we had a substitute for the last eight
weeks of school.
It was supposed to be our space segment.
The substitute ignored the lesson plan and
taught us about astrology.
But I got sent to the principal for arguing
with her after she said Saturn was the largest
thing in the universe.
Somebody asked “did you mean the solar system?”
And she said that meant the same thing.
I then had the audacity to tell her that Saturn
wasn’t the largest thing in the solar system
the sun was way bigger she doubled down and
said it is the largest planet.
I again tried to correct her that Jupiter
was, in fact, much larger than Saturn.
She lost her temper and told me to stop talking
back to her and to go to the principal.
The principal was actually reasonable when
he asked why I was there “I told Ms Johnson
that Jupiter is bigger than Saturn” we had
a different substitute the next day.
I think I may have gotten that lady fired..
> I think I may have gotten that lady fired.
I'd wager that with that attitude, she fired
herself.
My 8th grade English teacher tried to convince
me that the Sun wasn’t a star..
That's so weird because my 8th grade English
teacher tried to convince us we were all stars.
God put dinosaur bones in the ground to confuse
scientists..
And God probably made him a teacher to confuse
his students.
Giving head with braces is not easy 6th grade
teacher..
Teaching real life skills.
In college, I had a professor critique my
writing and say “this makes no sense—no
man would abandon a woman they got pregnant”.
“Oh, you sweet summer child...”
Ounces and grams are the same thing.
And while one inch is not the same as one
centimeter, they catch up at one meter, which
is both 100 inches and 100 centimeters and
one yard..
That’s some Science science right der
Sixth grade teacher asked me in front of the
class if red heads have red hair on other
parts of their body too.
After that everyone called me fire crotch..
Now I've only recently had training in this,
but I'm fairly certain that's sexual harassment.
My religion teacher told us babies sin everytime
they cry because they are being selfish and
want attention.
😵. I heard that before.
It’s a really really lazy way of explaining
no one is without sin.
A professor in college Audio books are cheating,
even if you have a disability &#x200B; eff
YOU!!!!.
Sir, I'm blind YOURE A GOD DAMN CHEATER IS
WHAT YOU ARE
Well, I studied in Catholic school.
So, a lot of the sex ed that we got was basically
Condoms never work.
Pills never work.
Pulling out never works.
If you have sex, you will get pregnant.
I also had a math teacher that solved an equation
that resulted in -0.
That was a fun day..
Same on the Catholic sex ed.
Ours actually told us that Natural Family
Planning (the 'tempo' method, or doing it
(I think) shortly after the period) was the
safest way, and actually God-approved.
But in reality, it's pretty unreliable, especially
for teenagers, and so it kinda seems like
bad advice that would stick a lot of Catholic
girls with babies that they'd then be forced
to keep.
I had French teacher sophomore year of high
school try to convince the class that WWII
didn't really happen..
What?
If I have understood that correctly they are
denying a war in which their own country was
taken over.
What is wrong with some people?
antisemitism ended in the 1300s are you sure...
are you absolutely sure.
the holocaust is a myth apparently
I once had a professor go on a twenty minute
rant about how qualified he was to teach the
class right before the final exam.
Qualified, however, does not equal competent.
The man was the worst instructor I've ever
had. and that's coming from someone that attended
the rural Mississippi public schools in the
80s..
Pro tip: If you enter a new class and the
teacher starts giving their qualifications
and says if you fail, that's on you, LEAVE
and drop the class (if it's not required for
your major and you can't take it with anyone
else).
You will have a HUGE uphill battle.
In my case it was a teacher with an accent
so heavy she might as well have been speaking
a foreign language.
A teacher called me a socialist because I
said being born in America doesn’t make
you better..
You socialist!
It was my ninth grade science teacher, who
is pretty nice in general.
It happened right after the unit test for
chemistry, and I was exited to see my results
because I had been getting A's through the
whole unit.
Every one was sitting in the class, talking
with friends because the teacher was late.
10-ish minutes into class, and she comes in.
Most people thought it would be a nice day,
until she announced I have your results for
the test, and I am VERY disappointed in all
of you..
We were all confused, and were looking up
at her to see what she would say next.
She followed up with At least half of the
class failed, with the highest mark being
a 2+(about a 54)..
Now, I was worried, because I obviously didn't
want to have a big dent in my grade.
Now one student decided to speak up, and asked
her If most of us failed, isn't that your
fault for not teaching us? in which the teacher
replied with No, its your study habits..
I ended up passing the class in the end, but
these things made it so half of the class
had to redo grade 9 science.
I have the teacher again this year, and hope
nothing like this will happen again..
That's absolutely ridiculous...
I was in a yearly CPR class that an EMT was
teaching.
When it came to hands on training, I was pumping
the dummy's chest hard enough for it to click.
The EMT told me I was breaking the dummy.
You hear that click?
It's breaking!
He argued with all the health care providers
in the class who explained the click is there
to show you how hard you actually have to
pump someone's chest.
He had supposedly been an EMT for 30 years..
Nothing worse than an instructor who has been
doing something for 20, 30 years.
Likely been doing it wrong.
I wonder how many people they kill?
Likely to have forgot most of what the originally
learned.
That she would accept her daughter being gay
but wouldn't accept if she wanted to marry
a woman.
I almost got expelled that day..
I'd accept it, but not really is what she
means.
4th grade, I asked the teacher how to spell
coyote.
He said look it up.
I said I cant if idk how to spell it.
He then said start with cy....
I know this too well.
My parents figured that making me look up
every word I couldn’t spell would be a great
idea.
Problem is I learned to read by doing hooked
on phonics and I could never figure out the
2nd and 3rd letters.
Good luck looking up a word if you only know
the 1st letter.
I still get salty about this and I’m 35.
I’m actually a decent speller now but it’s
in no thanks to this.
The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do.
Oh, and also The bell isn't for you, it's
for me..
Those teachers are so annoying.
Why are you packing up, we still have two
minutes.
because my next class is on the other side
of the school and I don't want to have to
run.
“I’m not helping you with that” Other
time, My teacher dropped a pen and told someone
to pick it up.
I had a Weather and Climate teacher in college
who said as an off-the-cuff comment that she
didn't believe in Climate Change because weathermen
can't predict the weather more than a few
days in advance...
This was, of course, the DAY after she told
us that weather and climate were different,
and that anyone who compares the two have
no idea what they're taking about.
Did the air conditioner run out of battery?
(my IT teacher).
hes living in 2030
People who don't have science-related jobs
are usually less successful in life That was
said by my math teacher in grade 11
(In an undergraduate level politics class,
taught by a lobbyist) Her: ‘You know, those
things, the things that were in place before
the Constitution!’
Me: ‘The Articles of Confederation.’
Her: ‘No, that wasn’t until the Civil
War!’.
I am constantly amazed at the amount of adults
in america, who have no idea what the articles
of confederation is.
Math teacher said there are no negative numbers.
All numbers are very cheerful.
I can't read what she's written because it
was done on a computer.
It happened just now in my class.
Our professor dumped a 10+ hour homework assignment
on us during midterms (most homework assignments
in this class are designed to be 2 hour time
commitments max).
So obviously today all the students are pissed
and sleep deprived from getting it done last
night.
The professor started getting mad at us for
struggling so much and started getting onto
the class for daring to send her emails yesterday.
Apparently a party she was attending out of
town was much more important than her job..
I had a british literature teacher assign
us 3 huge books as a reading assignment, and
then quizzed us about sublet references made
in the books (not the actual subject matter,
but mere allusions made) only 2 days later.
I wrote Stop being a sadistic tart on my quiz
and turned it in.
She wrote See me after class about your attempts
at humor and give it a zero.
I came in the next class ready to throw down,
and she basically broke down to the class
and admitted that there was no way we could
possibly read process that much information
in 2 days, and apologized to us.

During a 3rd grade earthquake drill my teacher
told us to go under our desks, get into the
fetal position and fold our fingers and place
them behind our heads.
She said if anything happens to our fingers
it would be fine because they can grow back..
She really thought they will do that or..?
Had a teacher that claimed the Holocaust never
happened.
She didn't come back the next year.
If you put your mind to it, you can do anything..
even be invisible?!
A social studies teacher claimed that it (slavery)
wasn't that bad She was suppised that they
have phones in India And compared racial discrimination
to sibling rivalry.
Sibling rivalry can get pretty effing brutal
so I guess it can be compared
My friend's friend is a teacher.
She heard that I was an engineer, so she sent
me a really basic math trig problem, because
she wanted to know how to teach the material.
First off, I was effing outraged that a teacher
didn't know this basic shut.
So then I show her the math for how to solve
for X. I write up a whole page explaining
the logic math in very simple terms, so that
she'd have a hand-out that she could give
the kids.
She says That looks complicated!
I'm just going to tell them to plug in each
possible answer on the multiple choice to
see which one is right.
I'm still effing mad about this..
Holy shut the epic battle royale I had with
my kids math teacher.
I have a BA Mathematics and an MS in Applied
Mathematics.
I would actually say not so much a battle
as me disproving every non trivial technical
assertion she made, and then showing mine
to be correct.
I then - using the material on the test in
question quizzed her - she got a zero.
I then demanded that she be fired, and that
my kid be moved to another teacher who had
their shut together.
I then found out there was a similar scene
with her the year before - the dad is a Math
PhD cryptographer at NSA and went similarly
apeshut on her.
Black holes are just a mathematical concept
but they dont exist in reality.
it was over 10 years ago though so.. yeah.
This was coming from a physics teacher..
Honestly black holes are such a scary thing
and the fact that they’re sharing the universe
with us is terrifying.
I wish they weren’t real too haha
Everything my EDUC professor ever said.
Bruh couldn’t even pronounce “plagiarize”
so it made me think he plagiarized his own
power point.
my substitute us history teacher told the
class and insisted butter wasn't invented
until WW2.
They're probably thinking of margarine which
largely arose during world war 2 due to its
long shelf life and stability at room temperature.
Science teacher saying that green eyes don't
exist.
Only blue and brown.
I heard a history teacher say that isis did
9 11.
She is one ticked off Egyptian god to have
done that.
That I wouldn't go to college since my math
grade was low (I made a 67) in 6th grade.
I have a bachelor degree in Russian and Eastern
Languages.
I had Dyscalculia.
What a dumb ass.
English is my second language.
My english teacher once said: ,,If you not
yet had made your homework then you can make
it today“ Also she once wondered why the
e on e-bike is pronounced like the english
e.
In german an e-bike is just an e-bike why
would we pronounce it like it was a german
word..
Speaking from personal experience, native
german speakers who teach english can be really
the worst and cringy to listen to.
I didn't know there was a difference between
fire and heat..
Depends on what you are calling fire, is it
the light produced?
Isn't the actual flame produced by superheated
oxygen?
