What’s the dumbest thing you ever got in trouble at school for?

Poetry critics can be so brutal

Once stood next to a notorious trouble-maker at school & watched him paint a wall. Got included in the telling off for not telling a teacher. He later went to jail for murder!

High five from yours truly, who penned a parody of Keats’s The Gothic Looks Solemn dissing my school and teachers, and anonymously submitted it as homework. Like you, I was extremely cool and it was inexplicable that I was bullied.

The concept of voluntarily doing homework, then not taking credit for it blows my past schoolboys mind

This is absolutely chef's kiss

I’ve always been *gestures vaguely at self* this.

Kicking a pencil stub across the floor got me a 30 minute lecture. I also got a bollocking for walking into a teacher's office WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPEN.

Not school but my grans. I once got in trouble for being bound, gagged & locked in a wardrobe (lock on outside) by my older cousin & thus missing dinner. Am not sure why my gran thought I had the skills to do that to myself but there we are. I remember my cousin saying I told her not to do that. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Without her unfair criticism, you might have been the next Houdini (unless you're still sticking to the "my cousin did it to me" story)

I have squandered my talents. 😏

Hey I also got detention for writing a poem! In English class!

quinnformation.bsky.social•21 days ago

there’s a lot to unpack in that 1st sentence

snoopygamble.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think he should’ve gone to jail for that and all

emmageddon.bsky.social•21 days ago

Did you frame him for a crime, Mark? A nice long, slow revenge?

watsoncomedian.bsky.social•21 days ago

I can’t comment.

Are you Niles Crane?

watsoncomedian.bsky.social•21 days ago

In spirit, yes.

jimrodg.bsky.social•21 days ago

Part of what makes you so endearing, I think.

I got detention for blasphemy once cause I said "Oh my God!" When I learnt that there were no blue crayons left in the crayon tub. I was 7.

Sorry to say writing *poems* about a bully is basically begging for further bullying

watsoncomedian.bsky.social•21 days ago

We all use the tools we have, Holly, and at the time mine was pentameter.

thebeckster.bsky.social•21 days ago

Mark wrote poems for the school yard brute. Now rocks a black eye. *Literary dispute. 😉

watsoncomedian.bsky.social•21 days ago

Mark dissed a bully with a couple of rhymes. Later he went down for real-life crimes.

thebeckster.bsky.social•21 days ago

Poetry is the new sexy 😂

watsoncomedian.bsky.social•21 days ago

Fucking FINALLY.

thisiskatel.bsky.social•21 days ago

I have to say, that reads like you're writing it from prison.

mythalive.bsky.social•21 days ago

I had a locker next to a girl who, in hindsight, probably had some sort of behavior disorder that had to be dealt with a specific and discreet way. I was about 11, opening my locker. She bit me for “being in her way.” I got in trouble for crying and she seemed to have no consequences.
