• From relationships to superhero lunchboxes,
the Planet Dolan crew re-enact some of the
best true stories from our subreddit about
the dumbest things our schools have ever banned,
part 2.
I’m Doopie – or – Melissa and today
I’ll be your narrator.

Legna
The dumbest thing Legna’s school ever banned
was bringing in outside food.
One day, he decided to buy lunch from the
Wendy's across the street from his school,
since the lunch choices on that particular
day looked awful.
Legna brought his lunch back to school to
avoid arousing suspicion.
When he sat down to eat in the cafeteria,
he opened up the Wendy's bag and started eating.
All of a sudden, one of the cafeteria monitors
came up to him and said to give them the food
he was eating.
Legna said, “No, I paid good money for it.”
They asked him again and said that if he refused,
they would throw it away.
Once again, Legna refused and packed up his
food, walked out of the cafeteria, and flipped
the monitor the bird.
Number 9 was submitted by Iglooice123 Honeybits
When Honeybits was 10 or 11, her school had
made a new rule that said students couldn’t
tie jackets around their waists.
If anyone was seen doing that, they could
go as far as getting suspended for a day or
two.
This was all because a boy tied his jacket
around his waist and tripped on a rock…
but the teachers said that he tripped on the
sleeve of his jacket, which is why Honeybits
and all the other students hate their teachers
and think they should teach them a thing or
two.
Number 8 was submitted by AwesomeTroll56 Gooby
Gooby was attending a basketball game with
her friends after school.
They were in the 8th grade, so they were a
bit rowdy.
At the end of the game, Gooby’s mom came
to pick her up.
She got up, grabbed her stuff, and give her
friends hugs goodbye.
But as she was finishing, Gooby heard a raspy,
irritated voice bellowing from behind her.
"Hugging isn't allowed on school grounds!"
the teacher squawked at them.
Her jaw dropped.
As an answer to her comically exaggerated
shocked facial expression, she said, "You
should've read the handbook".
This rule is still enforced to this day...
but no one cares and everyone hugs each other
anyway.
Number 7 was submitted by NemiVan MKyleM
Around MKyleM’s junior year, there was going
to be a homecoming dance.
He wasn’t really interested in dances or
many activities the school had, but the theme
of the dance was Masquerade.
Sounded cool, but still not interesting.
Then two days before the dance, they got an
announcement saying that anybody attending
the Masquerade dance is not allowed to wear
masks during the dance, just so they can identify
who's who.
They literally banned people wearing masks,
for a Masquerade-theme dance.
Masks… being the point of having a Masquerade
event!
The dance, as MKyleM was told, was just some
regular dance that had posters and covers
that said, "Masquerade Dance".
He just could not believe the idiocy the school's
staff had made of themselves.

Cid
A couple of years ago, Cid’s junior high
school had the stupidest rules anyone could
ever think of: nobody could bring a binder
from the store to school, but instead students
had to buy a school exclusive binder, but
it was really shitty and was so thin it broke
easily.
Also, no hats unless it was from the school,
no dyed hair, no girls showing shoulders because
it's a distraction, and on graduation day,
the boys can't wear a tie and suit jacket.
What the Hell?
They only had to wear a dress shirt and dress
pants.
Cid wasn’t really comfortable with his body,
so it was hell for him.
Junior high was ridiculous in his opinion,
but they had a neighboring junior high school
that banned almost everything.
Number 5 was submitted by WaverlyWallflower
Robo
In Robo’s high school, all the students--even
seniors--were banned from RELATIONSHIPS.
She knew that they wanted the students to
focus on their studies and not get hurt, but
still… it's not like there weren’t secret
couples in her school.
Furthermore, they also banned makeup, nail
polish, hair dye, and even boys with long
hair.
If anyone was caught with a gadget ANYWHERE
on campus, they wouldn’t get it back until
the end of the school year.
Number 4 was submitted by RellinMurDeath Pringle
One time Pringle brought his superhero lunchbox
to school.
During lunch, one of the teachers walked up
and told him that he couldn't bring that anymore.
He went home in tears for being yelled at
by the teacher.
When his parents asked the school why he couldn't
bring his lunchbox, they said it was because
it was too unique and the kids would be jealous.
So that school banned any type of lunchbox
that would have pictures of characters on
it or something like that.
Everyone had to bring paper bags or basic
colored lunchboxes.
Number 3 was submitted by YourDunkleSans Andiemations
The dumbest thing Andie’s school ever banned
was letting your hair down.
Last year, Andie and her friend were walking
through the primary school building when they
saw a girl with really long hair.
She had it tied in a bun, but for some reason
she untied her hair.
The vice principal saw this and, believe it
or not, pulled her by her hair, dragging her
into a corner.
After she let the poor girl's hair go, she
jabbed a hair tie in her face and said creepily,
"Don't ever do that again."
Then, she went back to where she was standing.
To this day, she’s still the most feared
teacher in the school.

Danger Dolan
So in Dolan’s elementary school, you couldn’t
run on the playground.
No one actually knows why, but the rumor is
that once a kid was running on the playground
during recess, tripped, and broke their arm.
So now, the poor kids at just have to sit
around the playground and talk.
They also made a rule that, since the middle
school was close to the elementary school,
and middle schoolers get out before elementary
students, middle school students (along with
parents) have to wait in front of the school
and not move around until the elementary students
get out a half hour later!
Other things they banned were dabbing, Pokémon
Go cards, most shorts, jewelry, and more.
Dolan could go on and on...
And for number 1 I’m going to tell you about
the dumbest thing my school ever banned
In elementary school, In Canada, my school
actually banned building of snowmen.
That’s right, you heard me.
You were not allowed to build a snowman or
anything that remotely resembled it
Apparently, there were too many kids being
sent to the office for destroying other p
eoples’ snowmen and too many kids crying
saying that their snowmen had been destroyed
by somebody else.
I guess it was one of those situations where
a few kids couldn’t play nicely, so they
had to go and ruin it for everybody else.
Nyeh, You know what?
I take that back,
Kids are kids, the adults just didn’t know
how to deal with it and obviously, they didn’t
want too.
Huge thanks for the folks over on our Planet
Dolan subreddit for submitting their stories.
