I actually accidentally caused a “no backpacks” rule in my school. Here’s how: I was sitting down in my algebra and I mumbled something, and I can’t remember what I mumbled for the life of me. One of the female students heard me mumble and thought I said and I quote, “somebody give me a gun.” And reported it to the school staff after school. The next day during homeroom I get pulled from homeroom and into the administration office. When I arrive there, I see the girl who reported me and I was like “Okay, what the heck is going on?” In my head. I get asked to sit down and I comply, and then I get told what has happened and everything. The girl claimed she had a witness and out comes another female student who supports her claim, but the administrator is not buying it, since it was a room full of students and absolutely NOBODY else heard me say or mumble anything. I also have to get on a call with my mom to explain to her what happened and my mom also sides with the Administrator and me. At the end of it all, I get a slip that tells me to stay away from the female student who reported me (as is basic procedure in my school) and then was told to go back to normal schedule. The very afternoon after school ends and I get home, my mom reads out a school email that all students must bring clear or no backpacks to school Friday for fear of a school shooting. Needless to say, I did NOT go to school Friday because my mom decided to keep me home (love you mom).

My elementary school decided that they wanted to help encourage students to study harder to lower the failure rate. So they implemented a rule that said that any test scores that were 70% or higher were an automatic 100% and any test scores that were 69% or lower were an automatic 0%. I was a straight A student who got 69% exactly on one test, and my grade IMMEDIATELY dropped form an A to a D, meaning I was failing. Seeing how the failure rate SKYROCKETED, they changed it so the tests scoring 69% or lower were just that while the 70% or higher were still automatically 100%. They dropped it entirely by the end of the year.

And if that didn’t work, I’d start talking to the news, and bring up not just the issues with the backpack rule, but also every other issue I could find in the school, from the overly-potent laxative waffles and the roaches in the string cheese, to the abusive special ed teacher, to the policy of ignoring sexual harassment while punishing consensual affection. EDIT FOR CLARITY: the abusive special ed teacher and the sexual harassment were unrelated. She was still a monster, but thankfully not THAT kind of monster.

My junior year we got a new "Vice Principal" who started instituting all sorts of new rules. His rules even began to annoy the teachers. The final one though was "No Hugging" I have never hugged or been hugged by more people than that year. Everyone was going out of their way to hug everybody. We always made a big show of it too. The senior prank that year was even a massive group hug right in the middle of an assembly. As far as I'm aware no one was ever actually punished for this and that faculty member was gone the next year.

Not exactly a big backfiring per se, but my middle school had a rule where the vending machines would be closed off during the last 5 minutes of lunch. Our assistant principal explained this was “because you don’t wanna get a soda & have to drink it in 3 minutes, do you?” So my table came up with this idea where everyone who got sodas from the vending machines would wait for the clock to change to 12:11, aka 3 minutes before the end of our lunch block, and then try to chug them as fast as possible. The icing on the cake was the symphony of burps coming from our table at the end of every lunch we did this.

The Great Blanket Rebellion: My primary school had a redicculous dress code where the only time girls were allowed to ware pants are in the dead of winter. This means in autumn, at 0°C we were stuck freezing our buts off. One day I realized I could bring my small blanket in my backpack. People took interest. The next day I brought along a full sized blanket to share with my friends. This gone on for a while naturally other people followed. At one stage nearly every other girl had a blanket in class. For some reason the teachers didn't like the idea of students bringing blankets to class and tried to ban blankets. This did not go over well with parents. The school was soon flooded with parents claiming that the school was trying to make their children sick. The school was stuck with the options of giving girls pants or lifting the blanket ban. They chose to do away with the strict rules on pants allowing students to wear pants whenever they want. They even held a assembly to show off the newer warmer and waterproof school clothes they were forced to make all in a attempt to discourage kids from bringing their blankets to school.😁

I worked for a game company that had regular conventions that most of the company would attend. A lot of drinking and partying went on at these events. The company got bought out and the new owner was having none of that. The new head of HR showed up at our all hands meeting. The new rule was that each employee was only allowed one alcoholic drink per meal. Remeber how I said this was a game company? The first question was, "is there a limit on the number of meals we can have?" The next question was, "is there a limit on the size of the drinks we order?" It went on from there. The HR person fled the stage.

A long, long time ago, I worked for a certain nationwide big box retailer. We were told that we had to wear our store vests when coming into work and when leaving work, and if any customer asked for help, we'd have to help them... but... this would be either before we clocked in or after we clocked out. The State AG ended up suing that company for violating a ton of wage laws. It wasn't immediate, but it was epic.

My middle school tried banning shorts because “they’re too distracting”. One week, a heat wave passes by. Of course, everyone was wanting to wear shorts, but weren’t allowed to. Even the teachers felt it was the dumbest ban that could possibly happen. So one day, a lot of boys show up wearing skirts, taking advantage of a loophole in the rule. Also, one not from me, but from my stepfather. He used to work for a company that made big prints of signs for various purposes. The place once tried to implement a very stupid policy. It stated that coffee was only allowed from opening until 10 AM, because “coffee is a breakfast drink”. He was, and even still is, a coffee addict. He, along with a few co workers, went and trolled the boss. They all had cups of coffee, went to the bosses office, waited until 10:01 AM, and drank it. The boss then tried slapping the coffee out of my stepdad’s hand. It ended up getting all over the bosses uniform, an expensive dress shirt, ruining it. The boss promptly reversed the ban on coffee after 10 AM.

A school near me ( every school here has strict uniforms) decided that girls were wearing their skirts too short, so implied a rule that they must be longer than a certain length. All the girls get trains and busses in from all around the city and the school wanted a “respectable image”. So the girls started making their skirts longer. And longer. And longer. So now it’s rare to see them getting n the train without their skirts literally sweeping the floor.

My high school had a rule that your pants couldn’t be ripped or sagging, but it wasn’t really enforced until I was in sophomore year.

There use to be a rule when I was in high school that either isn't part of the dress code anymore or is no longer enforced. Girls could not wear tops with spegeti straps or single shoulder straps. They had to be on both shoulders and thick enough to cover their bra straps assuming they were actually wearing a bra under their shirt. The only reason I know they either got rid of the rule or no longer enforce it is because my son now attends the same high school and I noticed there's a photo on their own web site of a student in a single strap tank top that would have been a dress code violation when I was a student. Of course even when I was a student there were teachers who did not enforce the dress code as I saw several class mates with spigetti strap tops and even once saw a girl who's shirt was see through so I could see her bra under her shirt and she was talking to the principal who didn't seem to notice. I don't know if it was some trick of the lighting that made it see through from where I was standing but probably looked solid from other angles but I had full view of her in basically just her bra as her shirt was practically non-existent with how see through it was. Most of the kids who did get dress code shirts were in violation of the no printed T-Shirts rule and they weren't even rude shirts we just weren't allowed to have anything on our shirt unless it was the school's own logo. Another kind of funny stupid dress code rule is that the schools own cheerleading uniforms violated the school's dress code. Students weren't allowed to wear the uniform to school except at specific cheerleading events or school functions where the uniforms were expected to be worn. I literally know someone who was given a dress code violation loaner for wearing the schools own uniforms to class which is extra funny since the dress code violation loaners are also just the same uniform with Dress Code Violation writen on them.

The school announced that if a student didn’t have money to get lunch they were to ask a teacher who would give them money for lunch. First day about 10 students went to every teacher in the school and got money. The student wasn’t required to pay it back. By the end of the week, no teacher gave out any money.

My middle school had crazy bathroom policies. The restrooms closed as soon as buses pulled up to the school,you couldn't use them in between class periods,and you couldn't go the first five or the last five minutes of class. Everyone asked to go to the bathroom as soon as you *could* ask,so the teacher eventually would just not let people go which ended up in a lot of people pissing themselves. People went in between classes as well anyways,no one gave a shit about that rule.

They exchanged the uniform’s formal skirts and pants for denim jeans, but students still had to wear the full gym class uniform the days they had it, and this applied from Monday to Friday.

My school got rid of backpacks for more safety in hallways, and people hated this, and it culminated in students just not bringing books, folders, chromebooks whatever, because they simply couldn't carry them (we didnt have lockers back then either), this wasn't even out of rebellion (at first) most kids just couldn't physically carry all of their things and so had to leave something behind (i personally had to bring 2 textbooks a binder 2 spiral notebooks and a chromebook, and i only took 3 core classes that year, most people took 4), but as this went on, even with teachers and parents complaining, students just stopped bringing anything, and instead of just allowing backpacks again, they made it so if you didn't bring your stuff (textbooks, notebooks, chromebooks, or binders) you would have iss, so students just started bringing everything in precarious stacks that caused so much more hazards than backpacks could ever, and a bunch of chromebooks were breaking from people dropping them, they were taking up way too much space on classroom floor because we could hang our backpacks on our chairs, but our books had to go on the floor, and even then, it wasn't until somebody got seriously injured from tripping over a book someone dropped that they allowed backpacks again Edit: the reason getting iss was so bad is because if you got more than 6 in school suspensions, you lost credit for the classes you missed because of your iss, you also weren't allowed to go to dances, sports or sports games if you got an iss, even just for 1 class period, for the entire week. You were also taken out of any extracurriculars if you got more than 6

I had something similar to the backpack rule, but..this was in a larger school and the only reason they did this is so we HAD to use the lockers there. So everything was crowded in between classes.

Why are so many schools banning backpacks? Concern about backpacks being used to bring weapons and other dangerous items to school?

@RialVestro

Жыл бұрын

Well to be fair I did literally have a sword in my backpack that another kid smuggled to school in his back pack and gave to me. So it is extreamly easy to hide weapons in your back pack without anyone ever knowing. This sword by the way, I later donated to the school as a prop. It was a real sword but the handle was kind of broken and the blade was too dull to really cut anything so rather than having it restored I just intentionally dulled the blade even more and donated it to the theater department. All that said, banning back packs is an over correction as it makes it impossible for kids to carry actual school supplies between classes. I had a locker in high school I started to store some stuff in except that my assined locker was in an area that made me have to go out of my way to get to it between classes and I tried to swap lockers with another student that would be in a more convient location for both of us except the school would cut the locks off and empty the locker if you were caught using a locker that wasn't assined to you. I ended up just not using a locker at all and so did a lot of other students who got assigned lockers that weren't in convient locations they could actually get to between classes. This also made parrents mad because the locks weren't school property, they were actually bought by the parents. The really stupid thing is... my dad worked for the school. The custodians thought they were clearing out lockers that had been left by the graduating class from the previous year. They had no idea they were cutting off locks of active students. My dad wasn't put on locker duety my Freshman year because they knew he would be aware of where my locker was and that the lock he bought me would be on it. So they had a different custodian cut the lock off and my dad still found out about it. I don't know how they thought they were going to hide that when they cut my lock and emptied my locker knowing full well my dad bought the lock in the first place. We weren't even given any warning they were doing this either, it was only after they cut the lock that anyone even told us we weren't allowed to switch lockers with other students. So the school made a stupid they didn't even inform students about and lied to their own staff in order to enforce a rule that no one knew exists until after they violated it. Needless to say over half the school didn't even use the lockers at all because of overly strict rules that irritated both parents and students. They even started getting rid of lockers because no one was using them rather than just lifting the stupid rules to make lockers more accessible.

Legally, we had a bag policy that you could only use the school's bags (trash that died after half a year with the 10lb+ books they rented to us). I got to bring my purse because I needed it for my medical supplies, and eventually no one cared after the bags started dying and everyone replaced them slowly. The school replaced them if you asked though, so that's good.

One of my fourth grade teachers made a rule that we couldn’t rip out the homework pages from the books like you’re supposed to/can do, but instead has us bring home books almost as heavy as bricks for every subject each day. The rule backfired when I stood up one day and my bag broke due to the weight. That’s when she finally let us rip out pages. Same year we got a new principal and he banned Pokémon cards, so naturally nobody cared and referred to them as “pocket monsters”, the translation, and still brought them. The biggest bruh moment was when the principal himself caught some kids with them and he asked “what is that?” The kid knowing he was caught said “Pokémon cards”. The principal just looked at them, handed them back and said “cool”. Edit: just remembered this gem. Also same year he implemented a “no lock on lockers” policy, because as a Christian school we should trust our classmates. So many things got stolen.

Well when I was in high school in 2014-15, we had a racist rule that the rule was “no Asians in their school”. When I got in trouble for being Japanese, especially having a Berserk Manga. So I attempted to abolish the rule, I ended up getting a suspension. But my high school has a pot/crack problem in campus, and they don’t get suspended. And they also protect the bullies who murdered their victims. They spend their money on the football team and few other popular things. When i resisted the attempt murder, my bully tried to pick me up and throw me off the balcony in front of the office, and the bully didn’t even get into trouble, but I got in trouble for resisting. They even threatened to arrest me because of it, seems as if they like the bully who tried to kill their classmates. The other time I was chased by someone who has a chef knife in hand, and tried to murder me, even I had someone who tried to push me off the concrete stairs. Lots of the crimes that happened in the school were covered up, but when the victims talk about it outside the school, they get arrested for “false accusations and conspiracy” when it actually happened. And the school took down the “no Asians in their school” in 2016 few months before my graduation.

The benches would always fill up fast and the cafeteria tables were full. If there was any space the table was full of people i didnt know or care to know. The school got some media attention for a big football game. But when the news crew came and saw students getting reprimanded for sitting on the floor, administration changed their mind about it before damage could be done. I also had a job at McDonalds that punished you for being on your phone (as they should) But they decided it was a good idea to install cell phone blockers in the ceiling. Not only did it interfere with customers' phones and them getting angry, but is also highly illegal. This went on for about a week before they took them out

10:12 my school had kind of a similar rule, well it wasn't really a rule, but a very obnoxious teacher would announce "get to class now" or singing weird songs such as a parody of jingle bells or something around those lines. To me it was very obnoxious and annoying since I was always 3 minutes before the bell went off. She probably did this because there were a lot of kids still talking to each other for some reason after lunch.

My school had a no fight policy. That doesn’t sound so bad with no context, but it basically meant that anyone involved in a fight would get immediately suspended. If you beat someone up, suspended. If you got beaten up, suspended. If you filmed a fight, suspended. If you were watching when a teacher arrived, suspended. If you tried to stop the fight, suspended. I don’t know how they got away with this.

Imagine just walking past a fight and getting suspended

To start with I'll describe my girlfriend (now wife), she has long blonde straight hair, light brown eyes, she's 1,68 or 69 in height, she was born in Spain but her parents moved to my country (Panama), her name is Alexa (short for Alexandra). We both met when we were 8 years old, but I never paid much attention to her until I was 10 and we were put in the same class together. Once we were in the same class we sat next to each other and we started talking and we became really good friends (later on when we started dating I found out she traded sits with her best friend to be besides me). aside from talking there was no romantic interest, at least from my point of view and it remained like that for an entire year and a half. One day on the seventh grade I went to my locker to get some books for whatever class I had that day and found a note that fell out of my locker. I picked it up and it was a love letter that said something like "I love your eyes, your voice, your hair, I love the way you are with me and I admire you so much". at first I was like WTF is this? so I started to ask who the handwritting belonged to so that I could return the letter, little did I know she heard me say that and noticed how uncomfortable the letter made me feel. She felt so embarassed that she went running to the bathroom crying. Her best friend slapped me across the face and told me that Alexa had made that letter for me and now I had made her cry. I was so confused that I had to ask what the heck she was talking about and she realized I didn't know it was Alexa's handwritting. long story short, I apologized to Alexa and I kept her love letter. Not long after we started a relationship that has lasted a long time, we both are 22 now and we are still together to this day. We both live together now and recently we had a baby together

Alexandra's weird. Sometimes, she was born in Argentina, but sometimes, she's born in Spain.

I used to work at Steak n Shake, and we had a huge problem keeping enough portioned product to last the day. When I got switched to morning shift Drive Thru, it became my job to portion things like salad, parfaits, grilled onions, etc, but since it was just me, the grill cook (who was always late), one waitress with her own morning prep work, and one manager, I was always split between portioning and pretty much anything required to get drive thru orders out that didn't involve grill, which always made it impossible to get everything done in the 4 hours between the start of my shift, and 11am when the lunch rush hit. I noticed this problem, and since 11 is roughly when my life normally starts for the day anyway, I made a deal with my boss that I would work every day(my decision, not hers) from 7-11am, with another person arriving at 11 to take the headset from me. At that point, I would stay over to finish any extra portioning that needed to be done, roughly earning me close to 40 per week, and the restaurant ran so much smoother the rest of the day. Well, then the government decided to make it mandatory for companies to provide health care to their employees who worked over 30 hours, and since SnS didn't like this, they decided that no part timer would be allowed to work more than 30 hours. My boss tried to work around this at the start, but eventually faded me back into a normal work schedule, and then eventually started me on 3rd shift to "help out for a week". Well, that week turned into a month, which turned into 2 years, and I developed anxiety that wasn't being respected. I had been well known as the best drive thru they had, and when word got out that I was looking for a new job, the District Manager himself came out to talk to me and my GM to see how they could keep me from leaving. I told them that I wanted my old 7-11 shift back, to never work 3rd shift again, and to make sure the Karen waitress who treated everyone in the back like crap wouldn't be allowed to get away with it anymore. They said they would look into it, but nothing happened, and I wound up getting a much better job as a cashier at the Meijer across the street, where they actually knew how to treat their employees like human beings instead of slaves. After that, they lost customers, because the regulars had gotten accustomed to have a drive thru attendant that actually gave a darn in making sure their orders were correct, even the more obscure ones like "unsweetened iced tea with 12 packets of sweetener on the side" or "burger with lettuce instead of a bun". I know this, because My first year at Meijer, so many people came to find me and tell me that they stopped going because I wasn't their drive thru attendant anymore.

That first 1v1 was intense. I wasn't even listening to the stories.

Some grades at my middle school enforced the "No backpacks" rule. This was over 20 years ago, around '98 or '99, and the thought of how unfair it was still angers me. Why was it so bad? 1. Our school was big. Often your locker would be on the opposite end of the school. You had mere minutes between classes to get your books. So many kids got in trouble for being late back to class due to getting their books. For some kids it was near impossible, so they'd carry a stack of heavy books with them all day to avoid punishment. 2. "Just run, then", you might say. There was a very well enforced "No Running" rule. If you were caught running, regardless of the reason, you were punished by a call to your teacher or just straight detention. I know first-hand they always follow this through. 3. Other grades allowed backpacks and functioned with no issues. Yet some stubborn teachers would refuse to allow them. We were never told a reason. They were adults, they didn't need one I suppose *eye roll*. I can still remember the entire class in 7th grade pleading with the teacher to allow backpacks because a.) the unreasonable time constraints and b.) Our sister class were allowed backpacks. I just remember her having this stubborn look on her face and refusing to listen to what the class had to say. If memory serves, this bs rule started to hinder even the kids that typically got good grades and did no wrong. Parents probably got involved. That was enough to get through the thick skulls of our more stubborn teachers.

School banned holloween at school (their reason was costumes were too inappropriate)but would even give detentions for saying happy holloween soooo most of the us students refused supporting anything for the school. Like fundraisers donations no sports and most kids stayed home when there was a basketball game,players included.

Teeny tiny school,y school was 600 kids 7-12. Bro, at my school from k-12 there is like not even 300

Not my school, but my friend's school did this. They had a rule where you could only wear nude coloured bras (it's an all-girls school). To enforce this rule, the principal (fortunately female) went around the school to try to run into some of the students. The students whom she ran into had to show her their bra strap to prove that it's nude coloured. From what I've heard, the principal is quite a jerk tbh. My school also has some weird rules, like how your earrings have to be of "simple geometrical shape" and should be metallic coloured. Only one pair of ear holes are allowed.

2:00 That anti-prank thing is basically a copypasta on Reddit at this point 🤣

That story of the guy who would wear those custom shirts story really got me. 🤣 That guy is a freaking LEGEND!

17:50 - Seriously, that guy is brilliant and awesome! XD

My old elementary school used to have us dismissed at a certain time and your plate had to be empty

My college tried doing the no phone policy where if you get caught with a phone there's no warning and they just get it, this was like the 2nd time they tried it thinking that it would stop the students going on them in class but i think it's also stupid that they made it so you can't even go on them during break, people including my friends and classmates still went on them and that stupid policy is still here up to now so I hope they realise it's making no difference

Lmao at the "teeny tiny rural school" his 7-12 had more students than my k-12

My school had a thing for dress code violations, especially in winter. We had to wear specific uniforms throughout the year basically this white traditional suit with either a grey sweater or a grey coat in winter and if you had any discrepancy missing like say if you wore anything else other than dark blue socks, it would be considered a violation and you either walked around with no socks for the day and pay a fine too. So what happened was that some students usually wore high necks under their shirts because it was tooo freaking cold at 7 am in the morning assembly, and this one greedy fat bald bastard would pick them out from the crowd and force them to take their high necks off by stripping down half-naked and walk around in a single layer and also pay an unfair fine as well. One day, this class clown arrived at school late and wore a high neck. Naturally, the teacher told him to take his high neck off, which he did but he also went half-naked and wouldn't put his shirt back on or pay the fine. The teacher got pissed and tried to reach into his pockets and he just dropped his loose pants and ran around the assembly hall screaming he was being groped by the teacher. The entire school witnessed this happening and laughed their asses off. In the end, the student was suspended and the teacher was still around. We all laughed about it back then, but I get what that clown was aiming for.

My school implemented a rule to separate the people who have packed lunch and the people who have hot lunch, no eating outside which is sad

only thing close I remember was in my senor year of high school, they announced the follow school year (so wouldnt affect me) theyd implement a new class schedule. each period would be 5 minutes shorter and the extra time accumulated would be added up to create a new period. this pissed off pretty much everyone at the school. even the senors even though it wouldnt affect them. so pretty much every student agreed on a certain day theyd have a walk out. protest in front of the school. everyone was on board. even the senors. the school caught wind of it and told every student if they were caught on the field....theyd be suspended. didnt if you were there for whole thing or 5 minutes during free period to show support (which was my plan). I guess they hoped this would deter the students. day of the planned walk out.....about 75% of the underclassmen showed up for it. I dont know if every single student go suspended, detention or no punishment as that was a lot of students

We also had the no backpacks rule. One of my best friends completely disregarded and ignored it. He would get detention and in school suspension day after day for around a week and a half, while other kids started joining in. Then he finally broke them and the school gave up on punishing him or anybody else for backpacks altogether.

Our school has a 1 way system since covid, which resulted into about 50% more late students. So far, nothing has happened, which is sad

9:04 we had this in MS but for groups of 2 or more, if there were more than two people together in a hallway they assumed you were skipping an wrote you up

In my Junior year of high school metal detectors were placed at the two main entrances to hopefully stop school shooters before they made it into the school, and we weren't allowed to let people in any side doors. A decent idea but there were a few problems. For one, the detectors were only really watched at the beginning of the school day, so anyone who came in late could probably get away with not going through the detectors. Also each morning we had hundreds of students in *each* of the entrances cramped together for 30 minutes to an hour every day. If someone really wanted to go on a killing spree, they could easily kill or injure half the school without even going through the detectors and there would only be a few escape routes for victims to go through that could easily get clogged. Sometimes the detectors would go off because a student forgot to take out their phones or, I don't know, happened to be wearing steel toe boots. If that happened, their backpack would be searched as usual (which wasn't thoroughly mind you) and the student might get a small pat down. All of this to say you could easily do a lot more harm than if there wasn't metal detectors. The scariest part though? My brother knew a guy who forgot to take his pocket knife out of his backpack. He went through the detectors for a solid week at least...didn't set them off once.

For story 2, my elementary school had that rule BUT it was because the bathroom closest to the lunch/gym room only had one stall, so only two students was allowed at a time, one actually using the stall and the other waiting just outside the bathroom, the asking permission was for staff to know it was only two students going at a time because they didn't want the area over crowded due to there being only one stall.

We actually had a game called tenpin that was basically pinball where you had to guard pins in the back of the room while also not getting hit. If you knock down an opponents pin then your team gets to revive a player. First team to loose all their pins looses.

My mom worked at a factory ran by a foreign country so they basically did not care about the health of the employees only numbers it was so hot that people would literally pass out and shorts were not allowed to be worn however skirts were allowed so basically every guy that worked there started wearing skirts so they could be just a little bit cooler lol next company meeting with the big shots a rule was made that shorts could be worn lmao the people running the factory were from a country that are all uptight about men and women roles and stuff so yeah a factory of about a thousand workers and probably the majority were men all walking around wearing skirts most definitely did not sit well with the uptight head guys lmao

Failure to lock flywheel guards results in an automatic termination. i was with my company for just under 10 years (like i was fired on the 13th and my 10 years was on the 29th.) i had a particularly bad night and my anti anxiety meds were not working so i was on a full blown anxiety attack and in my attack, i had failed to lock one single padlock. so they got rid of someone who had been there for almost 10 years instead of write up or demotion. then after that they changed the policy to it being a write up instead.

I assumed that Story 1 would end in an actual fire and nobody wanting to pull the alarm.

For a couple days, people brought blankets into school when it was cold because Baltimore county said “No hoodies!” Even though it was freezing in the building half the time.

I have had 2 managers who thought they were top shit. first was a hospitality manager, their main job is to focus on cusotmer service and making customers happy, however my store is one of the busier ones, meaning hospitality had to often go to the kitchen to help out. He wouldn't and would often ignore our calls for help as 2 people make 15 orders durring dinner rushes and show up AFTER the fact to tell us we didn't need his help. Once we kept calling and nothing. I had it and made a passive agressive comment about 3 orders 1 person (the general rule for needing help, exceptions of course being if those 3 orders are of 6+ subs) He didnt like that and sent me to do outside trash while we were understaffed and then proceded to yell at my coworker for not calling for help when I had done so. We told our store manager and he stopped talking to us for months before leaving. dude got fired at a different location the other was another failed hospitality manager. He came from the food industry and was OBSESSED with stocking. I mean snapping for us to stock WHILE we were making orders. He was also notorious for asking you to stay later to do last minute tasks, especially me. It got to the point i tell him when i had 20 minutes left and if he needed me to do anything cause i needed to leave on time (i always made an excuse). One day he must've thought his pants were diamonds cause he was being such an ass, yelling at us to stock during dinner rush, trying to force a minor to stay late when its illegal to do so. I was the only one really talking back. During a slow spell i was stocking our finisher unit and he yelled at me for starter not being stocked, one of my other coworkers was stocking that one. When i pointed that out he just walked away. my car was in the shop that week so I had been telling all managers I had to leave on time as my parents were picking me up. I told him the same thing I told all the others and he took offense to that and told me to leave then (it was like 30 minutes before my shift was over) I told him no and walked back to my station to stock. When it was time to leave I went to clock out and he threatened my job if i clocked out before he "checked everything". All the others were getting pissed at him for his treatment towards me and let me clock out and escape while he wasn't looking, the manager coming in for the overnight shift heard what happened from me and the others and gave him a STERN talking to He tried being all buddy buddy with me afterwards but I made it clear he wasn't getting my respect back ANY time soon. He quit a few months later as not only had he lost all respect from coworkers and managers alike, but also was getting in trouble with where he was living for making too much money. My mom ended up being hired before he quit and she agreed he was so up your ass about stuff and always tried making people stay an extra half hour, even minors

The one were students would compli-sult each other, I did that with my fiancée (girlfriend back then) when any couple/friendship activities were banned at school. If we can’t compliment each other, let us insult. Sometimes, we would just outright insult each other but with hidden meaning. Ex: If I said to my fiancée ‘Your are such a b#tch’ that would actually mean ‘I adore you’.

1:25 -- Last year I started working at a high end grocery store on the front end as a cashier. I'm 24 and the average age of the employees up there is like 16. It was a rule that you had to ask a manager to go to the bathroom no matter what. I get why that's a rule. Rushes come out of nowhere; and as such, you can't just have three of your five cashiers browsing instagram and vaping THC in the bathroom. I might be 24, but I kind of look like someone closer to 18, so as such, I was grouped up with all the kids and treated that way. Over time I got more and more pissed off that I was essentially stuck in high school at work. So I stopped asking and started telling. I would just mention: "Hey I'm gonna run to the bathroom be back in a few" and without waiting for a response, I'd just dip and go take a leak or refill my water, or whatever. I still work at that place but now it's at the meat counter where I can go anywhere at once because I'm my manager.

My high school tried policing home lunches. They banned soda, candy bars, chips that weren't baked, and anything that the teachers considered unhealthy. It ended when one kid chugged a monster can to avoid losing it and threw up on the principal's shoes

My work tried to bring in bullying and diversity training, backfired when we made them agree to remove all the activist posters and pandering months when we pointed out the targeting of bullying the staff into these meetings.

When I was at high-school our old headmaster was a legend but when he stepped down and the assistant head took over and made a rule that drooling a pen or even sneezing was "distributing the class" which could lead to a detention....we all took the piss and purposely dropping pens and yawning really loud and saying "oh I'm delaying the class I'm going to get a detention" and when the teachers caught in they just didn't care and didn't enforce the rules since then

I love it when people find loopholes. 😂😂😂

One of the most stupid school rules my old school has or used to have was that you couldn’t have chocolate in your pack lunch but they were selling/giving it at school lunches then I said “how can’t we have chocolate in our pack lunch when you can sell/give it to us from school lunches?” Then one of the dining hall lady’s said “It’s not chocolate, It’s cocoa”then I said “isn’t that the exact same thing?” Then I think they said “no it’s not” lying to me and everyone else in the school but I forgot if they get rid of it or not but hopefully they got rid of it now. ✌️

My high school had a similar thing where you're not allowed to have or chew gum on campus yet they actually sell gum on the school campus. They didn't try to lie and say it was something else you'd literally get a detention with every purchase of a product they were selling because it wasn't allowed. They didn't sell a lot of gum because no one wanted to pay for a trip to detention but it was still something everyone questioned why it was sold on campus if you weren't allowed to have it on campus. It's a freaking trap.

There was a gang fight between the Crips, Bloods, and I think they called themselves Latin Kings. Like 15-20 on each side. So the school said “Students are no longer allowed to wear blue, red, or black shirts.” So the ENTIRE school wore blue t shirts on Monday, red on Tuesday, black on Wednesday, and to hammer the point home, pink on Thursday, and purple on Friday. Even the gang members who were in the fight took part in the protest. Was rather amusing to watch the staff panic as students began arriving to school all wearing the same color. The absolutely defeated look on the principals faces was just delicious.

Pinball has actually been around for a while. I played it in elementary school back in the late 90s. If I remember right, knocking over a pin brought back everyone on your team who was out.

My school also banned dodgeball, but the gym teachers kept on teaching it without giving it a name

*I put the FU in FUN* *Me and my bro fall down laughing *

in my school in Italy when someone was late they simply put a mark on the permanent record. if you got enough you had to redo the whole year. people almost never came in late

We have this recent thing happening for about the start of the school year: Important note: our school fused with another one Due to the school fusion, we had to move closer to the other school. This was known the schoolyear before we moved. Costs loads of money and in a few years we'd be moving into the oher school anyway once they have enough room. In the year before, people were telling about this and because of that, way less first graders applied by our school and the other. Anyway, we moved into the new building. This building was one long ass hallway with siderooms which became classrooms, toilets and cafeteria. Problem: the students have to wait outside the classroom until it was opened by the teacher, which sometimes would be late. This caused huge traffic in the only hallway, no going around unless you want to go for a cold walk. Second problem: some things couldnt go or got lost during moving. Our school had its own culture, we had this specific door called (directly translated) the bucketmandoor. Very important door, but it was too big to fit in the doorframes in the new building. Everyone was mad because it wasnt going to be there. We also had our own water refiller, everyone is still waiting for it to arrive in the cafeteria Third problem: the cafeteria is way too small. This was somewhat solved by the first, second and third graders getting a seperate lunch break time than the other grades, but it was still too small. People started eating in areas they werent allowed to, and because there was nowhere else they could go, the teachers had to allow it Last problem: teachers and students started to get mental illnesses. Every teacher had suddenly much more lessons to give because of the increase of classes and extra subjects. Also they didnt get paid enough for what they were doing, because most of the budget went into the new building. Teachers got burned out. I haven't had English and math for two months now. As for the students, we got at least five more subjects and our lessons were an hour long each. For me, I have till 16:30 school, starting at 08:30. Every day. And with my personal life, I have full wednesdays, thursdays and fridays, where I am busy the whole day, at least till 19:30. And the teachers give us a shit ton with homework as well. Some people live an hour away, so those students are probably getting burned out as well. Most students are, probably. All in all, students nor teachers were happy and we are broke. Also the other school has a lot of troublemakers. Everyone on our school hates the other one and everyone on the other school hates us

That's not harassment. I mean if they already said no and you keep asking them out after that it can be but if you ask someone out and they say yes the first time it's not harrassment. Also on one hand I kind of understand why workplace relationships are discouraged. If the relationship goes south and you break up it could get awkward later. If one person is in a position of power over the other they could potentially use that to their advantage and then it would be harassment. However on the other hand, what two people choose to do outside of work is no one's buisness but their's. It's a stupid rule that can't really be enforced. I mean what if you started dating before you were co-workers, are you not going to hire someone just because their ex works for you? There are a lot of reasons that two people could be unable to work together that have nothing to do with dating. If you didn't allow relationships that might make working togther more difficult you'd essentially have to ban all human interaction and then you'd have zero employees. It's best to address issues as they come up rather than pre-emptivly trying to prevent things that MIGHT become an issue in the future. Especially when they're issues that most mature adults should be able to deal with without effecting their work even if they do occasionally come up.

My elementary school actually used pinball dodgeball and a few other variants, like one that involved the basketball hoops. Fireball was another name that got used at some point.

Story two, I'm wondering if that person was at MY CURRENT school.

My workplace was bought out by a company that strongly encouraged employees to "voice their concerns"--which was greatly misrepresented as a positive means for improving morale and productivity. What it created was a mass exodus of employees who were dismissed for voicing even the slightest concerns over changing company policy or managerial decisions, even when no direct criticism of the company was involved. The employees who survived the changeover unscathed soon found themselves working in a culture of tattle-tales and anonymous accusers. "Voicing concerns" ultimately meant working in an environment where you were surrounded by constant low-key, passive-aggressive threats to your livelihood. I don't care who you are or how good you think the company you work for is--cover your butt, and don't assume any of your co-workers are your friends. Even the ones who genuinely like you can't help you if you run afoul of the wrong people.

Oh dude we used to play pinball a bunch in elementary school! Dodgeball as well but it's cool to see the other one mentioned

Your allowed to use the bathroom during lunch without asking but any other time, you need to log onto something on the iPads to sign out, take less than 6 minutes, and pray your teacher sees you’ve returned if you have a strict teacher that won’t let you talk without raising your hand.

This doesn’t exactly fit but… when I was suicidal. Freshman year and made many search’s about suicide on my computer, the admins had no idea. But when I made one search about violence, I was immeadiately caught and called to the principle.

In elementary school for Like 1 year we had to throw away our lunch to go to the bathroom they got rid of that rule the next year...

Ngl, the comeback in that first rocket league game was impressive

Basically any school that has a uniform policy. Mine doesn’t and never will but honestly I just can’t not think about it without getting super angry because at the end of the day it’s just an unnecessary and stupid rule and why can’t the kids just all rebel together and not wear it? Wouldn’t that work? Students outnumber school staff

We had pinball but called something else and if we got hit then caught a ball we were back in

Another stupid school rule but this time I still have is that in high school, There is a thing called, the one way system, which was introduced in Covid but, then after, they decided to keep it, which as you can tell by the name, you had to go one way in the school, so loads of people got annoyed and bored by it but they even started to break the system (including me), and people started getting late (again sometimes including me), but, people started using it as an excuse, which I didn’t mind to much, but, kind of annoyed me, and if you were found breaking the system they would give you something called a comment, which, basically it is something when you get so many of them you would get detention and other punishments and stuff which is really annoying and stressful but that is basically the rule so hopefully they get rid of it in the future even if I am not in high school. 🤞

This proves some people just work at a school to fulfill some crazy power fantasy. No rhyme or reason, they just get off on the fact that a large group of people has to do whatever they say.

All classes 6-8 had to carry 5 periods worth of binders and textbooks through a lot of stairs and got in trouble if we dropped them and was late.
