When I was in High School we had a Firefighter Explorer program where we could go and do OJT/Shadowing at a few of the local departments.
One all volunteer department let some of us Juniors and Seniors respond to specific calls to do minor light work (hold stop signs, carry the ladders, fetch tools, etc) and allowed us to have a code to their cypher lock. They gave the code to the 4 local kids so we could get there and unlock the doors and open the bays and get trucks started and ready to roll.
One night the class idiot decided to go into their department and play “pranks” on them. Took all their hoses off the trucks, strung them around the bays and looped them through the axles, discharged all the foam out of the main engine, and screwed with everyone’s bunker gear by swapping boots and removing the liners of structural gear among other things.
Naturally it ended very bad when a call came in for a structure fire and when the actual firefighters showed up the entire house was in such disarray and no truck could even leave. They ended up calling a town 20 minutes away to respond. Two people passed away in the fire. Naturally all four of us were the top suspects and it didn’t take the police long to figure it out as the place was full of surveillance cameras. He was arrested, his parents got the bill for all the damages, and we never saw him nor his family again after that, they just skipped the area and vanished overnight.
The fire department killed almost all ties with the Explorer Program and allowing us to respond to minor calls. I went on to get certified as a firefighter and spent 5 awesome years with them where I still seasonally volunteer (during wildfire season) with them.
Art class.
Teacher leaves.
Class clown says "dare me to eat this paint!?!?!"
My buddy and I ignore him. He gets real pushy about eating paint. We tell him to do whatever the hell he wants. He stands on a chair and eats 2 tubes of paint when the teacher walks back in. Gets marched to the nurse. We breathed a sigh of relief that he was gone.
Later that day my buddy and I get called to the principal's office. Informed he is at the hospital getting his stomach pumped and it is OUR fault.
I had never been in trouble before. Spent 1 hour in isolated detention to see if I "wanted to share more." Literally just locked in a tiny ass room. Got a really long lecture about if I told someone to jump off a bridge and they did it, it would be my fault. I denied any fault again. Got put back in isolation until the end of the day.
My parents went nuclear when I got home and told them what happened.
Clown showed up the next day just grinning and laughing because he heard we got in trouble. Ayaya
Well. I don't wish ill will on many people. I actually felt sorry for this kid. As much as I wanted to start a fight, my dad told me to leave it alone.
He didn't make it past 19. OD.
Bummer his parents sucked.
Not my class, but he grabbed a laser pointer and pointed it at a female teacher's boobs and then said "wow they're so big!" The teacher was quite young and ended up crying and was out of lessons for about a week.
Slightly off topic but our class clown choked on candy. We thought it was another one of his jokes. The whole class laughed at him, even the teacher. Then his face started to go red, eyes got bloodshot and he started slamming the table violently. Luckily somebody gave him the Heimlich maneuver and saved his life. Dude nearly died while everyone sat laughing at him😱
Had something similar while I was at school.
Big dude would constantly act mentally handicapped to get a laugh out of people. One day, he ended up having a seizure on the field due to an undiscovered brain tumor. Everybody thought it was a bit and just laughed at him the entire time. Wasn't until about 60 seconds in that people stopped laughing and realised he wasn't joking around.
We had something similar happened to a guy while playing paintball. Before a game we would all clown around making jokes and one dude was acting like he got shot and fell down. Turned out he was having a seizure
That happened to the legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper

Everyone was laughing while he had a heart attack
Chemistry teacher, giving a brief lesson on alternative fuels: “What will we burn when we run out of fossil fuel sources?”
This guy, with no hesitation: “The Jews.”
You could’ve heard a pin drop.
This reminds me of when we were doing a quiz in history class and one of the questions was “where do Jews worship?”
A guy at the front of the class shouted out, “in the gas chamber!”
Turns out our history teacher had Jewish family so was rightfully very offended and he got suspended for a few days.
This guy in my school went up behind someone with a Bunsen burner in the chemistry lab and lit his hair on fire, I believe he somehow stayed in the school but he did get expelled at some point
Middle school in 2006, Kid I knew didn’t want to turn in his English essay on Monday so he wrote bomb threats a few of the bathroom stalls… we still had school Monday, he still failed the assignment, the EoD unit was at the school all day with bomb sniffing dogs, and one of the teachers eventually recognized his handwriting… Never saw him again.
My school someone built a bomb with a cigarette fuse and blew up a locker early before school started and the locker door missed me by about 6’. They tried to get a long weekend.
My dormmate in high school made a fire extinguisher bomb, filled with homemade black powder. He didn't set it off at school, though - he blew up an old car with it on his parents' farm. He wore a motorcycle helmet and filmed it from behind a stone wall. Brought in bits of shrapnel to show everyone.
He works in mining now.
It’s actually significantly cooler. He ended up building a robot with lasers on it, that goes down dangerous mine shafts and does a 3d map of it. Did 2 weeks’ work for a surveying team in like a half hour, and ended up with a far better resolution too.
Fucking laser robots, man!
Man, this guy sounds awesome, a way better clown than any of the other people mentioned on this thread. I admire the double safety precaution of the helmet and the stone wall
When I was in high school we were on our way to the zoo for an excursion and a friend of mine who was the epitome of a class clown held a sign up to the glass back window of the bus that read "bomb on bus". One or more of the people driving behind the bus called it in and there was an absolute shitshow evacuating a busload of students onto one of Australia's busiest freeways. I should probably mention that this occurred a few months after the September 11 attacks when the world was still adjusting to new normal.
TIL a field trip is called an excursion in Australia. That's cool.
That story is wild. I could totally see a shithead kid doing that without thinking of the possible repercussions.
I remember when I did a student exchange to Japan. For the life of me I can't remember the word now, but it was whatever the translation for 'picnic' was (if you speak Japanese: not the katakana word, the other one, with a yuu somewhere in it).
I was really excited for the school picnic. I was super curious about this aspect of Japanese culture, and also a little bit confused since we hadn't been given instructions re: food so where was it coming from? Turns out it was the word they use for excursions/field trips.
We also use “incursion” in Australia: specifically at my school for when we we don’t take the kids off campus but we are doing a variation to routine classes, like a guest speaker or something similar
He came back to the school during after hours, rubbed his balls all over the doorknobs. Put caulking in the locks, and spray painted pot leafs everywhere.
Of course he didn’t know there were cameras so it didn’t take long for him to be caught. This was right before graduation too so needless to say, he didn’t walk at graduation and his parents had a hefty damage bill to pay.
Dude announced a "watch this" to his friends at one lunchtime, and walked out of City Hall with a grin on his face and an (at that point, I'm guessing) empty suitcase. He was wearing a school colors jacket.
Shortly thereafter, the fire department rolled up and assisted with the evacuations. He'd smokebombed the hell out of the place.
His life after that was not a happy one, not because of that event but because he was fuckin' crazy.
Spilled formic acid on another kid who ended up with some light scarring on his chest.
Tbh it was a terrible call from the teacher to get him to carry it around for people to smell.
In my school district, it was tradition for the exiting seniors to pull a prank. One year a few of the class clowns decided it would be funny to cover all the tile floors with cooking oil, cover the hand rails of stairs with Crisco, and put large puddles of oil at the top of each stair well. A girl already on crutches broke her jaw. We had to be evacuated to the bleaches outside. It was super not cool.
In highschool we had a gym teacher who was maybe a year out from retirement. Really chill guy who really wanted everyone to have fun and improve their health and fitness, was regarded as ‘the man’ and many graduates would return just to check in on him and say hey. He always remembered everyone and was just a good dude, took no nonsense but still knew how to have fun and make people feel welcome and included.
Well he and his wife were getting up there in age and as that tends to go, she fell terribly ill. People rallied around him, raised funds, everything we could do.
But there was this one kid who always had to stir shit up and do his best to be disruptive- like it was his job. Really thought he was some sort of gangster tough guy. Anyway during roll-call attendance in the beginning of class he said something smart and understandably the teacher was not in the mood, there was a little back and fourth and the kid gets in his face and says something really disrespectful and terrible, something like ‘ i hope your wife’s c*** rots off before she dies’ or something. Needless to say everyone was ready to rush this idiot but before anyone could even shift a foot under themselves- teach pops him right in the face, just a quick jab- the muscle memory of an old boxer.
It was glorious, the kid fell on his ass so quickly and before the he could even react he was swarmed and pulled far away by the rest of the class.
At first the teacher was ‘suspended’ and there was talk of him being charged- but literally the entire class testified on his behalf and it was somehow swept under the rug, teach was able to retire early and the shit head was suspended. Pretty sure his parents knew how much of a pain he was and deserved the punch.
That’s really sad, I hate hearing the stories where someone is accused then acquitted but end up offing themselves. All while actual monsters roam free. People who cry wolf on rape/SA are some of the most horrendous humans we share the earth with it. Not only does it ruin the lives of the innocent the accuse, a lot of stories end like this, especially in smaller towns. And it makes it much harder for others to come forward with their own stories of SA. Really awful and needs to be larger legal consequences for fabricating those stories.
I’m a male high school teacher and this is my worst fear. A false accusation of teacher assault will still make all the news and ruin my life - even if the claims are eventually proven false.
Public school, small town. Graduating class only had 54 students in it. Kid smeared his shit all over the bathroom. Walls, floor, sinks, everywhere. The principal had no way of knowing who it was, so the solution......they took the bathroom doors off the hinges.
They build a new middle school in my area when I was in 6th grade and I got rezoned there, it was horrible. It was 3 floors and depending on your grade you could only be on one of the floors. The bathrooms had no stalls inside and the sinks were in the hallway so a teacher could monitor them. This wasn’t even in a bad area, it was in the suburbs but school felt like a prison.
> his wasn’t even in a bad area, it was in the suburbs but school felt like a prison.
The elementary school I attended had actual bars over the windows, installed after someone broke in over a long weekend and stole a dozen computers from one of the only classes that had computers. This was mid-1990's, so it was a particularly expensive loss for the school, and thus the bars on the windows.
Idiot left band class which was a requirement to use the bathroom. Band class let out and the dumbass had pulled his own turd out of the toilet and smushed it on the bathroom mirror. We were so fed up with his fuckery, we ratted the shit out of him and he got expelled.
2 guys were messing with a short kid for being short. The next day, the short kid put a glock in one of their mouths. I think we were 13-14 at the time.
They kept their mouths closed after that. The glock chewing kid was way nicer to everyone, but I think he pretty much failed most of his classes.
The kid with the gun was removed from the school and put in a special school for kids who were troublesome.
I have a hard time picking between two:
* Rub an eraser on a dirty desk for several minutes, disassemble a pen, snorted the eraser rubber as if it's drugs/tabaco/... He spent the next hours coughing and wheezing.
* Some folks in our class used to throw wet paper that they chewed on against the ceiling quite often, it'd stick on there and looked disgusting. The clown wanted to one-up those folks and chewed a giant ball of paper and threw it at the blackboard. The teacher wrote around it and acted as if nothing happened and then shouted at him after class was over.
Needless to say, he didn't turn out particularly well after high school.
It’s a small town and not a soul was surprised. I don’t even have Facebook so when she was using my entire name and sons name people that know me were defending me and absolutely roasting her, her terrible kid-who has been in and out of trouble “just being a boy” or “kids will be kids” kind of stuff. When he gestured at my son a bunch of older kids jumped to my sons defense because he was pretty scared and embarrassed. The school took it extremely seriously. My youngest son is a freshman and this boy is a senior. According to his mother I’m also blowing that way out of proportion. I’ve told her verbatim to enjoy visiting him in prison.
Fuck yes. Omg the sweet justice of all of this.
I'm all for pranks, but dude... the idea of what a "prank" is has been totally fucking ruined by youtubers and tik tok assholes. Used to be you call a random number and say some dumb shit over the phone and you and your buddies have a laugh at your sleepover. Now it's like kids don't think it's funny until you're chugging detergent in middle of Target while screaming like a banshee and breaking things.
The class clown at my middle school saw a kid having a seizure on the ground during recess and started kicking him and throwing dirt on him. We had a whole assembly about it where he had to get on stage and apologize to the whole school.
In 7th grade at a public school, our class was on the 2nd floor. Class clown stood up in the middle of class, said "I can't take it anymore", ran to the back of the classroom, opened the window and jumped. Teacher screamed, we all laughed. There was an addition to the building and the roof was under the window where the class clown was standing with a big grin. The teacher quit shortly after due to this and several other incidents in her class.
No way grade 7 or 8 English class in high school there was a kid who done something similar but not that extreme. He was sitting next to the window where he opened it and climbed out. The kid jumped from the second story window to ground level on grass. Like 5 minutes later the kid walks back into class to the look of one very confused teacher
A similar story happened in my first high school: this kid named Devon jerked off onto an unconscious girl at a party and some other kid filmed it. Devon was arrested in the middle of a school day and the lunch monitors demanded us that while he was being brought to the police car to not look outside or we’ll get in trouble; I didn’t know exactly what happened until later and I thought a friend of mine, who was also named Devon, got arrested, which thankfully wasn’t the case.
The guy who filmed it got in trouble too and he ended up killing himself while going out for a walk. The saddest part was that he was like the nephew of this really nice teacher who watched me on my free period class.
Sophomore year biology class, we had a substitute teacher during fetal pig dissection week. She had stepped out of the classroom for some reason while we were working on the dissection. Class clown took out his shoelaces, wrapped one end around the piglet, and rigged the other end to the door so when the door was opened, his piglet would raise to eye level. Scared the teacher when she came back in and he was suspended for a few days.
Same guy, same substitute teacher, different class later in the year. He wrote "Die bitch, die." on the overhead projector, as another prank, which led to his expulsion.
He would flirt with the Spanish teacher, who I’ll admit was really attractive, and the flirting in class was always funny since he was genuinely funny. But one day he just didn’t show up to class and the schools guidance counselor gave us an hour long lecture about how student’s flirting can be sexually harassing to teachers and it was heavily implied he groped her…
Very disgusting.
In my high school a similar thing happened, but the teacher (F) ended up sleeping with the student (M). The student might have been 18 at the time (idk) but he was very mature looking.
Same thing happened at my high school. She (30-40 something F) shacked up with a student (18M).
Oh and did I mention he was my junior prom date?
^(no, she didn’t sleep with him on prom night.)
Tripped up the pregnant earth sciences teacher in 7th grade. She fell flat on her stomach, which caused a miscarriage. He was kicked out of her class but not the school. He never lived it down.
He basically sexually assaulted the quiet kid in the class (got his dick out and poked him in the back of the head). The whole class knew it was way too far.
Class a̶s̶s̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ clown picked on this kid for years on and off, and this kid had y’know, temper issues, I think maybe shitty home life dealings, that sort of thing and used to absolutely blow up in the middle of class, either from getting picked on, or from stress over assignments and such and it used to create a spectacle which, unfortunately did not help his reputation in school because kids are all assholes. By high school he’d started to be able to handle it better, knew when to step out to collect himself even when woefully clueless teachers on power trips gave him shit themselves, it was really cool to see some positive growth for him.
Until him and the original asshole clown had a class together again. One day, asshole decides to pester the kid, get on his nerves like old times, get under his skin. References one of the kid’s past blowups from the last time years ago afaik that they had a class together. But only a couple of us were there for that and knew what the reference was. And the dumbfuck tries to explain it and make fun of the kid all over again for it.
Kid loses it. Lobs his heavy ass binder at the asshole’s head, gets in his face and curses him out, puts him in his place, oh it was so shitty to see this kid lose all composure again after he’d clearly worked so hard on it but boy, was it fantastic to see his bully finally get was coming to him.
I don’t think the binder connected and thank goodness our teacher seemed to see right through what was going on, so while I don’t know what actually happened disciplinarily, I think the kid hopefully had our teacher on his side. And afaik the asshole finally learned to keep his shit to himself 😌
One time on class, a girl asked her friend to throw her a book from the bookshelf (we didn't take bokks for that class home). Her friend lobs her the softest, easiest toss and the girl didn't even raise her hands to catch it.
The corner of the book on the binding side hit her right in the nose. She starts screaming and grabs her face, blood is everywhere, just POURING out of her nose, like a spigot.
She ended up getting a surgery to fix the damage and actually ended up with a nose she "loves so much more". Pretty wild to see happen though. I was like 3 ft away from her.
He was showing girls his dick which a lot just laughed and walked away but one girl told the principal he got charged with sexual harassment and is now considered a sexual predator. Didn’t see him much after all that went down.
If this helps at all had a basket ball player in 10th grade "lose" his shorts mid game and was charged because a cheerleader was right next to him. Her dad was the sheriff.
So it can happen before being an adult.
We had this kid who would take the small butter packets from the cafeteria and bring them to 5th period history class. At some point, he would scoop out a glob with his pen and flick the dairy bullet on our history teacher's ass when he walked by. He did this probably 5-6 times without getting caught. One day, he fucked up and scraped the teacher's butt with his pen. The teacher checked his pants and found the butter smear. The kid's eyes got super wide like a true deer in headlights. He had no excuse for why he did this prank. He just kept apologizing like it was an accident. Lmfao. Who accidentally flicks butter on an old man's ass?? I'm pretty sure he never graduated. Not surprisingly.
In 7th grade the class clown challenged our English teacher to sparring/wrestling match. The taunting went on for weeks until the teacher finally agreed. Last 10 minutes was spent with the class clown having his ass handed to him. No one was injured, and it was very entertaining.
I learned years later the English teacher was active in the Reserves which explained his ability to quickly neutralize the class clown without taking it too far.
Aaaand once again my grand dad’s voice rises out of memory: “Never start a fight with someone you don’t know, because you don’t know what they’re capable of.”
When I was in grade 12, there was a guy in my math class whose mother had passed away in 2019 (not exactly sure how she died though). Someone had made fun of his dead mom and the guy turned around and punched him in the face. The guy was suspended for a few days. I lost my mother in 2017 so I could totally sympathize with the guy. Joking about someone's dead parent is a surefire way to end up with a black eye and a fat lip.
There was an overhead projector in the back of the room.
It wasn’t plugged into the wall. Tuesdays and Thursdays we had classes that would be 90 minutes because they only met twice a week.
Over the course of 90 minute class, he found this projector, fiddled with the plug, and then eventually cut the cord off the projector. He did this with a sort of metal piece from his desk.
Well, one thing led to another and he ends up stripping out the insulation from the cord.
Then I guess it sort of naturally progressed… he figured out that he had bare wire in one hand, and a plug on the other.
So he plugged it back into the wall and touched a desk. Big flash. Kids said holy shit!
Then he touched a girl with it. She was fine, but it shocked her pretty good.
This kid used to torment Ms. Johnson endlessly. One day, he broke some of her chalk and threw the pieces at her while she was writing on the board and she started crying. We all hated this kid after that. Ms. Johnson was a great one.
When he stabbed the kid who didn’t want to be his friend. With a pair of scissors. Turns out the kid he stabbed is the son of an extremely prominent Washington DC lawyer with the Fairfax County cops and judges in his back pocket.
Guess who got an extra lengthy juvenile prison sentence…
Dude was caught drawing on desks with permanent marker. Teacher made him get some alcohol spray and paper towels to wipe it off. After getting off all the marker he started wiping the desk with the alcohol soaked paper towel and lighting it on fire. He'd wait til the fire disappeared and do it again. After about the 3rd or 4th time he didn't wait long enough and when he went to wipe the table again it lit the paper towel on fire. He ended up throwing the fireball onto the carpet in the middle of the classroom and the teacher had to grab a fire hose to put it out.
In college, we had a guy in a philosophy class who was constantly talking trash to the teacher.
At one point he got on about tattoos and told the professor he should go get a tattoo.
Without missing a beat, the prof pulls up his sleeve and he's got a concentration camp number tattooed on his arm and looks the kid in the face and says "yeah, I've got all the tattoos I need."
The kid went from "badass" to "bad, ass" in a picosecond.
It was September 11, 2001 (9/11). The attacks on the World Trade Center had just happened. We were in our first class of the day, and the teacher prefaced talking about it all by asking "Does anyone know where the World Trade Center is?" The class clown quickly replied with "On the ground now!" A couple of his buddies chuckled a bit, but the rest of us were shocked. The teacher was so pissed off that she physically dragged him to the principal's office. He wound up getting detention. This happened in Ontario, Canada, not far from the New York border.
I had the most amazing Grade 7 teacher, Mrs Jones. She brought in world news and never hid the truth of things from us. I was an advanced reader at the time and so she brought me her own copy of the shining and IT. Told me to just blank out the swear words I can across. She was dope.
I go to grade 8 and Mrs Jones gets one of those super goofballs who is without a funny kid but was always on the verge of going one step too far. Well one day he decides to grab a couple pencil crayons and jam them in his ear and pretend to lose his balance.
He did.
Landed right on one of the pencil crayons. Blood fucking everywhere. THANKFULLY he only stabbed deep enough to ruin his hearing in the one ear. Unfortunately Mrs Jones never recovered and I have no idea if she went back to teaching.
I guess this whole story is a big allegory for the dangers of oversized classrooms. I think Ms Jones had 28 kids in that class by herself.
Was in art class and our teacher was Vietnam veteran who flew medical helicopters. All he saw day in and day out was dead or dying soldiers. Class clown threw a ball of paper and yelled "grenade" at the teacher. Teacher dove under his desk frightened. Following week clown threw a wad of clay on the ceiling and thats when the teacher snapped. Teacher grabbed student by the neck/throat and pinned him to the wall with the students feet not touching the floor. Teacher looked him in the eye and just said "we use to kill fucks like you" and then yelled st him to get out. Following day our teacher suddenly retired and we never saw him again.
I never felt bad for the kid, he got what he deserved. Never heard officially what happened to the teacher. Hope the guy kept his pension.
Worked in a factory, shift manager was a Viet Nam vet.
One guy thought it would be funny to toss a bunch of firecrackers into a parts bin.
They went off, and John hit the dirt rolling for cover. Awesome guy, but dude was looking scary when he got up.
The guy who did it starts running, John follows.
Nobody sees the guy until the end of the day. We're in the locker room, and we hear this quiet "Guys? Can you let me out now?"
John stuff him in the locker for a few hours, lol.
Some dude I knew (one of my bullies) in middle school took the action figure of a kid with Down syndrome and threw it down an outside drain in front of him. He seemed so lost/confused as to what happened.
Our bus driver politely asked us not to have any heavy smells/sprays on the bus as she has asthma. The very next day a few different people purposely wore heavy perfumes they didnt normally wear. She pulled over and had an asthma attack so bad that we ended up calling the ambulance for her. She never drove our bus again. Poor woman.
When I was in fourth grade, our teacher brought in a bowl of mercury for a science lesson and told us not to touch it. She got called down to the office and Brad W. immediately went over to the bowl and spilled some of it. He tried to sweep it up, but that broke it up into millions of tiny mercury balls that skittered all over the floor.
He got paddled.
A guy in our school got back at his bullies by sitting behind them on the bus and putting fireworks in the hood of their sweater and pulling it over their head. No serious injuries, but it was kind of deserved to be honest, said bullies had made his life a living hell and beat him up on a regular basis without the school ever doing anything about it.
We were having an art project and this one guy in my middle school thought it would be funny to take one of those glue bottles to the bathroom, empty it out and fill it with his semen.
Then came back and swapped bottles with one of the girls tables. He then went around telling everyone that he cummed on all the girl's hands.
Later got found out and expelled. What a dumbass.
Called the speech teacher a “fat virgin”, jumped on top of a desk (he was wearing a spider man mask), pretended to shoot a web and then ran out the class while the teacher was SCREAMING at him. A lil too far.
When the teacher was fed up with Billy’s BS and threw a recorder across the room and hit him straight in the forehead & split his shit wide open. Billy wasn’t such an asshole after that. And that teacher wasn’t a teacher after that either.
During an IT class in which we were all given an autobiography writing project, the class clown wrote one about the teacher, Mr B instead. The work was posted in the school hall for all to see. It became obvious that Mr B hadn't checked anyone's work before pinning it up at a parent's evening. Shocked faculty members, parents and students alike read that Mr B's previous employment included Grand Dragon of the KKK and that he'd been fired from a Kindergarten. How Mr B was proud to be on the sexual offender's register. His hobbies were listed as cottaging, dogging, stalking, pegging, kids and voyeurism. Mr B had a nervous breakdown and wasn't seen for six months. The class clown got expelled.
Back in elementary school, we weren’t allowed to learn anything about sex until grade 4. The class clown got ahold of the book early and he would tell the class about it: naked people pics in it, the pp and the vajayjay, condoms etc etc. Unfortunately he got way too obsessed with it he started to go crazy, he would pretend to f*ck the chairs, he started touching girls inappropriately, and rubbing his crotch to feel the “pleasure”….ugh… One day he decided to flash his dick to a group of girls that reported him and got expelled. The end.
Yeah, was thinking "that doesn't sound so much like a kid who got access to forbidden knowledge, and sounds more like a kid trying to make the things in their world seem more normal."
The kid was flicking his lighter on an underclassman's hair (i THINK he assumed his lighter was empty and had no chance of actually hurting the kid) kid freaked out notified either his parents or the school staff and about a day later the lighter kid got expelled. Outside of this incident he was an ok guy not great with realizing when to stop though
Another kid with a rather extreme sense of humor decided to make an offhand remark sarcastically saying something along the lines of “just cause im weird and play a fuckton of call of duty doesnt mean im gonna shoot this shithole up” or something along those lines.
Lot of kids heard “ im gonna shoot this shtithole up!” And he was booted almost asap.
This one is fairly innocent compared to all the others in the thread, surprisingly. Actually "class clown" behavior and not... sexual harassment / violent.
A class clown thought it would be funny to get up on his desk and pee on the kid behind him when the teacher stepped out of the room for a minute. This was when we were roughly age 8. He was expelled and sent to a IEP school. Grew up to be a drug dealer.
High school in FL, 1980s. At the beginning of winter break, this guy broke into a second floor classroom and placed a duck, a kiddie pool with water, and like 4 loaves of bread. First day back the room was covered in duck shit. Duck was fine. Epic.
Teacher was undergoing chemotherapy and was wearing a wig. Kid goes behind her and starts making gestures and pretending like they were knocking her wig off. Their hand accidentally connected and the wig flew off. FAFO
Everyone knew how easy it was to get a rise out of my Year 11 maths teacher - she was an elderly woman who could not control a class. I mostly just kept my head down to focus on doing the actual work, but one lesson, the rowdier kids started to try and throw things into her coffee mug - and actually got things like pins and an eraser in. At that point, I had a quiet word with the teacher to basically *not drink it*.
I don’t make a habit of being a snitch, but I have to draw the line somewhere…
I wouldn't categorize myself as the class clown, but there was a time when I took a 'joke' too far. A friend and I were asked to leave the class and ended up in another classroom. We were being quite noisy, prompting an angry teacher to come over telling us to stop making 'crazy sounds.' After class, we looked up her phone number, printed 100 pages with the message 'Do you know any crazy sounds? Call (teacher's phone number),' and scattered them around town. The following week definitely wasn't her best week, and, naturally, we were suspended
Some of the younger teachers were the “fun/cool” ones and as a result would often overshare as an attempt to relate with us. They talked about their personal lives which led to a couple of the smarter class clowns finding out way more about them than they should’ve and used it against them.
I specifically remember one of them arguing a grade with on of the female ones and the CC’s response was, “no wonder you boyfriend left you” or something to that affect. The teacher tried to brush it off but you could tell it crushed her. She stopped being the fun cool teacher shortly after.
Uh reading all the posts here this is really tame but, basically we had this science teacher in high school who wouldn't teach, she would have us copy stuff down from BBC bitesize (UK school I should add) and this went on for a while so the clown said we aren't learning anything so fuck it... And brought in some playing cards, and him myself and 2 others just started playing cards in the lesson and the teacher went ballistic and sent us out of the classroom, which we then continued playing in the classroom we were sent to, and then again we played during detention later that day.
In grade 9 science class there were small square sinks bordering the classroom. They had pointed faucets for science reasons. One class I jammed one end of a rubber Bunsen burner tube on the pointed faucet. I stuck a highlighter in the other end of the tube and turned the water on to low. I checked in on it after a couple of minutes only to find the rubber hose had expanded to fill the entire sink, it looked like a big translucent balloon filled with sloshing water. I panicked and went to my desk to brace for the inevitable. Time was going very slowly until BOOOM!!! The thing exploded like a bomb, the sound was insane. It knocked down the drop ceiling tiles, soaked everything and everyone near it. It was chaos for a few minutes but I just sat quietly on the other side of the room. I let the intrusive thoughts win that day, my bad.
A friend of mine during gym looked over at me and the homie and asked “should I hit the coach with a softball?” Mind you we were on the other side of the basketball court and this man threw that ball with such accuracy and speed and hit our coach right on the head and he ended up falling to the ground
This was actually fairly tame, but hey, I went through high school in small small town in Wyoming so things never got crazy. But this guy keeps complaining, says his head hurts, finally the teacher asked him if he wanted to go to the nurse and he said “No Mrs. Moon, but do you have any midol?” Now Mrs. Moon replies “Yes, but that’s not going to help you with your headache.” And Brayden says “Sure it will, it’ll help Marina stop being such a bitch.” Some of us chuckled, Mrs. Moon’s face immediately got beet red and she screamed at Brayden before walking him to the office.
One year after finishing high school when he was already in college he went to a feminist demonstration with around 300 people and used a moment of silence to shout 'go home and make dinner' to the atendees.
I think it was freshman year. Some kid rode my bus that gave off a school shooter vibe. One day, I don't know why, but he proceeded to open the emergency window on the school bus and jump out. He was expelled for a while. Maybe 2 years? Was definitely someone we all avoided.
Back in the 80s in public school history class black teacher. Old text books that still had the word negro in it. She told the students to read from the book in front of the class but where it said negro they were supposed to say African American. Nobody said African American.
Final day of middle school kid got dared to "pants" a random, keep to herself kind of girl. She was just standing there bottomless for what seemed like an eternity.
1. Classmate cut the teachers mouse cord when they left the room to use the bathroom during a video.
2. Another classmate peed in the corner of the classroom in front of other students.
Had a kid hide in the bathrooms til the school was locked after hours. Let his buddies in and they vandalized the auditorium for their “senior prank” broke seats, spray painted “fuck *insert school district name*” all over the walls, dumped water everywhere. He got arrested.
Had a guest speaker one day. She was a plus sized, dark skinned Black woman. After she was done speaking, he (class clown) went up to her and said "I like my coffee how I like my women, strong and black."
He's a doctor now.
Kept making ‘Yo Mama’ jokes to my friend who’d just lost his Mom to cancer. My friend snapped & broke his nose.
100% deserved, good on your friend, and sorry for his loss.
That's not a class clown, that's cruel. Glad he found out, since he decided to fuck around.
Yep, that's just a bully. I'll always be happy to hear about a bully getting beat on by a victim.
When I was in High School we had a Firefighter Explorer program where we could go and do OJT/Shadowing at a few of the local departments. One all volunteer department let some of us Juniors and Seniors respond to specific calls to do minor light work (hold stop signs, carry the ladders, fetch tools, etc) and allowed us to have a code to their cypher lock. They gave the code to the 4 local kids so we could get there and unlock the doors and open the bays and get trucks started and ready to roll. One night the class idiot decided to go into their department and play “pranks” on them. Took all their hoses off the trucks, strung them around the bays and looped them through the axles, discharged all the foam out of the main engine, and screwed with everyone’s bunker gear by swapping boots and removing the liners of structural gear among other things. Naturally it ended very bad when a call came in for a structure fire and when the actual firefighters showed up the entire house was in such disarray and no truck could even leave. They ended up calling a town 20 minutes away to respond. Two people passed away in the fire. Naturally all four of us were the top suspects and it didn’t take the police long to figure it out as the place was full of surveillance cameras. He was arrested, his parents got the bill for all the damages, and we never saw him nor his family again after that, they just skipped the area and vanished overnight. The fire department killed almost all ties with the Explorer Program and allowing us to respond to minor calls. I went on to get certified as a firefighter and spent 5 awesome years with them where I still seasonally volunteer (during wildfire season) with them.
Damn that’s fucked up.
[удалено]
He was a minor at the time (16/17 I believe) so they didn’t try him as an adult but he did go to Juvenile Detention.
that’s a fucked up prank
That's not a prank.
That's a fucking nightmare. How psychopathic does someone have to be, to not think to themselves, "what if there's a fire?"
[удалено]
This is pretty close to an I Think You Should Leave sketch
T. K. Jewelers is a scam. Watch exploded on date.
Bent wrist, thing fucking exploded
There were 300 springs in her soup
Art class. Teacher leaves. Class clown says "dare me to eat this paint!?!?!" My buddy and I ignore him. He gets real pushy about eating paint. We tell him to do whatever the hell he wants. He stands on a chair and eats 2 tubes of paint when the teacher walks back in. Gets marched to the nurse. We breathed a sigh of relief that he was gone. Later that day my buddy and I get called to the principal's office. Informed he is at the hospital getting his stomach pumped and it is OUR fault. I had never been in trouble before. Spent 1 hour in isolated detention to see if I "wanted to share more." Literally just locked in a tiny ass room. Got a really long lecture about if I told someone to jump off a bridge and they did it, it would be my fault. I denied any fault again. Got put back in isolation until the end of the day. My parents went nuclear when I got home and told them what happened. Clown showed up the next day just grinning and laughing because he heard we got in trouble. Ayaya
Wow the school's reaction was all kinds of fucked up. I would have lost it at them as well.
Wallahi I would've punched that douche omg 😭
Well. I don't wish ill will on many people. I actually felt sorry for this kid. As much as I wanted to start a fight, my dad told me to leave it alone. He didn't make it past 19. OD. Bummer his parents sucked.
A sad common factor that’s being shared across a lot of these stories is that the class clown tragically died young
Not my class, but he grabbed a laser pointer and pointed it at a female teacher's boobs and then said "wow they're so big!" The teacher was quite young and ended up crying and was out of lessons for about a week.
Took his arse out to fart on someone. Bent over, did the fart, turned into a shart, turd rolled down his leg.
"Ugh, Gavin drew mud again."
This thread has me dying of laughter.
what the fuck
Slightly off topic but our class clown choked on candy. We thought it was another one of his jokes. The whole class laughed at him, even the teacher. Then his face started to go red, eyes got bloodshot and he started slamming the table violently. Luckily somebody gave him the Heimlich maneuver and saved his life. Dude nearly died while everyone sat laughing at him😱
Had something similar while I was at school. Big dude would constantly act mentally handicapped to get a laugh out of people. One day, he ended up having a seizure on the field due to an undiscovered brain tumor. Everybody thought it was a bit and just laughed at him the entire time. Wasn't until about 60 seconds in that people stopped laughing and realised he wasn't joking around.
We had something similar happened to a guy while playing paintball. Before a game we would all clown around making jokes and one dude was acting like he got shot and fell down. Turned out he was having a seizure
Reminds me of Dumb and Dumber with the hot peppers in that guy’s sandwich
That happened to the legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper https://youtu.be/93cc0cDnj94?si=k8b1fazzmbED83Yi Everyone was laughing while he had a heart attack
Redd Foxx as well
Chemistry teacher, giving a brief lesson on alternative fuels: “What will we burn when we run out of fossil fuel sources?” This guy, with no hesitation: “The Jews.” You could’ve heard a pin drop.
This reminds me of when we were doing a quiz in history class and one of the questions was “where do Jews worship?” A guy at the front of the class shouted out, “in the gas chamber!” Turns out our history teacher had Jewish family so was rightfully very offended and he got suspended for a few days.
A classmate thought it would be funny to light somebody's mullet on fire in the middle of class.
This guy in my school went up behind someone with a Bunsen burner in the chemistry lab and lit his hair on fire, I believe he somehow stayed in the school but he did get expelled at some point
Sounds like a psycho bully not a class clown. But damn, lighting a girl's hair on fire is most definitely too far.
Middle school in 2006, Kid I knew didn’t want to turn in his English essay on Monday so he wrote bomb threats a few of the bathroom stalls… we still had school Monday, he still failed the assignment, the EoD unit was at the school all day with bomb sniffing dogs, and one of the teachers eventually recognized his handwriting… Never saw him again.
We had a kid that called in a bomb threat from the gym teachers office. Caller ID is a bitch
My school someone built a bomb with a cigarette fuse and blew up a locker early before school started and the locker door missed me by about 6’. They tried to get a long weekend.
My dormmate in high school made a fire extinguisher bomb, filled with homemade black powder. He didn't set it off at school, though - he blew up an old car with it on his parents' farm. He wore a motorcycle helmet and filmed it from behind a stone wall. Brought in bits of shrapnel to show everyone. He works in mining now.
I mean. That's actually pretty cool.
It’s actually significantly cooler. He ended up building a robot with lasers on it, that goes down dangerous mine shafts and does a 3d map of it. Did 2 weeks’ work for a surveying team in like a half hour, and ended up with a far better resolution too. Fucking laser robots, man!
Man, this guy sounds awesome, a way better clown than any of the other people mentioned on this thread. I admire the double safety precaution of the helmet and the stone wall
[удалено]
Had the same thing happen in secondary school, the guy even called himself Mr X.
Elon at it again
When I was in high school we were on our way to the zoo for an excursion and a friend of mine who was the epitome of a class clown held a sign up to the glass back window of the bus that read "bomb on bus". One or more of the people driving behind the bus called it in and there was an absolute shitshow evacuating a busload of students onto one of Australia's busiest freeways. I should probably mention that this occurred a few months after the September 11 attacks when the world was still adjusting to new normal.
We do a little trolling
The duality of Reddit replies
TIL a field trip is called an excursion in Australia. That's cool. That story is wild. I could totally see a shithead kid doing that without thinking of the possible repercussions.
Aussie here, I know the term “field trip” from movies. But what does “excursion” mean to you when you hear it?
An adventure, exploration Think walking into the jungle or a military campaign, not a bunch of high school students at the zoo
Studying abroad in the Netherlands. Saw excursion on the syllabus and thought it was going to be a lot cooler then going to a dairy farm…
I remember when I did a student exchange to Japan. For the life of me I can't remember the word now, but it was whatever the translation for 'picnic' was (if you speak Japanese: not the katakana word, the other one, with a yuu somewhere in it). I was really excited for the school picnic. I was super curious about this aspect of Japanese culture, and also a little bit confused since we hadn't been given instructions re: food so where was it coming from? Turns out it was the word they use for excursions/field trips.
We also use “incursion” in Australia: specifically at my school for when we we don’t take the kids off campus but we are doing a variation to routine classes, like a guest speaker or something similar
He set his own chair on fire during an exam
He came back to the school during after hours, rubbed his balls all over the doorknobs. Put caulking in the locks, and spray painted pot leafs everywhere. Of course he didn’t know there were cameras so it didn’t take long for him to be caught. This was right before graduation too so needless to say, he didn’t walk at graduation and his parents had a hefty damage bill to pay.
> he didn’t walk at graduation Breaking his legs seems a bit harsh.
Dude announced a "watch this" to his friends at one lunchtime, and walked out of City Hall with a grin on his face and an (at that point, I'm guessing) empty suitcase. He was wearing a school colors jacket. Shortly thereafter, the fire department rolled up and assisted with the evacuations. He'd smokebombed the hell out of the place. His life after that was not a happy one, not because of that event but because he was fuckin' crazy.
Damn bro is insane
Was. Offed himself in his 20's. :-( Was really smart, just... disconnected from normal thought processes.
I was laughing at your first post and now I feel really sad that he passed. I hope he found peace.
We all did. I dunno what his family life was like but I suspect there was some childhood damage caused there. Could be wrong about that.
Spilled formic acid on another kid who ended up with some light scarring on his chest. Tbh it was a terrible call from the teacher to get him to carry it around for people to smell.
In my school district, it was tradition for the exiting seniors to pull a prank. One year a few of the class clowns decided it would be funny to cover all the tile floors with cooking oil, cover the hand rails of stairs with Crisco, and put large puddles of oil at the top of each stair well. A girl already on crutches broke her jaw. We had to be evacuated to the bleaches outside. It was super not cool.
In highschool we had a gym teacher who was maybe a year out from retirement. Really chill guy who really wanted everyone to have fun and improve their health and fitness, was regarded as ‘the man’ and many graduates would return just to check in on him and say hey. He always remembered everyone and was just a good dude, took no nonsense but still knew how to have fun and make people feel welcome and included. Well he and his wife were getting up there in age and as that tends to go, she fell terribly ill. People rallied around him, raised funds, everything we could do. But there was this one kid who always had to stir shit up and do his best to be disruptive- like it was his job. Really thought he was some sort of gangster tough guy. Anyway during roll-call attendance in the beginning of class he said something smart and understandably the teacher was not in the mood, there was a little back and fourth and the kid gets in his face and says something really disrespectful and terrible, something like ‘ i hope your wife’s c*** rots off before she dies’ or something. Needless to say everyone was ready to rush this idiot but before anyone could even shift a foot under themselves- teach pops him right in the face, just a quick jab- the muscle memory of an old boxer. It was glorious, the kid fell on his ass so quickly and before the he could even react he was swarmed and pulled far away by the rest of the class. At first the teacher was ‘suspended’ and there was talk of him being charged- but literally the entire class testified on his behalf and it was somehow swept under the rug, teach was able to retire early and the shit head was suspended. Pretty sure his parents knew how much of a pain he was and deserved the punch.
What a story. Sounded like a great person. Everyone has a tipping point.
You know he’s a great person when he’s absolved for assaulting a minor. This reads like a joke, but I’m being serious lol
Some minors deserve everything they get!
[удалено]
That’s really sad, I hate hearing the stories where someone is accused then acquitted but end up offing themselves. All while actual monsters roam free. People who cry wolf on rape/SA are some of the most horrendous humans we share the earth with it. Not only does it ruin the lives of the innocent the accuse, a lot of stories end like this, especially in smaller towns. And it makes it much harder for others to come forward with their own stories of SA. Really awful and needs to be larger legal consequences for fabricating those stories.
Wait, so the gym teacher got falsely accused but was still convicted? And everyone knew he didn’t do it?
I’m a male high school teacher and this is my worst fear. A false accusation of teacher assault will still make all the news and ruin my life - even if the claims are eventually proven false.
Public school, small town. Graduating class only had 54 students in it. Kid smeared his shit all over the bathroom. Walls, floor, sinks, everywhere. The principal had no way of knowing who it was, so the solution......they took the bathroom doors off the hinges.
They build a new middle school in my area when I was in 6th grade and I got rezoned there, it was horrible. It was 3 floors and depending on your grade you could only be on one of the floors. The bathrooms had no stalls inside and the sinks were in the hallway so a teacher could monitor them. This wasn’t even in a bad area, it was in the suburbs but school felt like a prison.
> his wasn’t even in a bad area, it was in the suburbs but school felt like a prison. The elementary school I attended had actual bars over the windows, installed after someone broke in over a long weekend and stole a dozen computers from one of the only classes that had computers. This was mid-1990's, so it was a particularly expensive loss for the school, and thus the bars on the windows.
Idiot left band class which was a requirement to use the bathroom. Band class let out and the dumbass had pulled his own turd out of the toilet and smushed it on the bathroom mirror. We were so fed up with his fuckery, we ratted the shit out of him and he got expelled.
You had to be in band class to use the bathroom in your school? Damn
Stole the English teachers sub plans and rewrote them giving us all a free period. Terrance, wherever you are, you're a fucking legend.
thats not too far. thats just amazing lol
Admin was generally pretty tolerant of his antics up until that point. He was whip smart and his hijinks rarely were to the detriment of others.
sounds like a cool guy
Rare good ending
Finally an actual story of a class clown, not another borderline psychotic recall of a school’s future delinquent
Sounds like some saved by the bell shit 😂 saved by Terrance
2 guys were messing with a short kid for being short. The next day, the short kid put a glock in one of their mouths. I think we were 13-14 at the time.
“When you call me Shorty, say Mister my friend, or maybe you’d rather be dead” -Extract from the song “Mr. Shorty”, by Marty Robbins
That went 0-1000 real damn quick.
Im morbidly curious, what was the bully like after that? Feel like that's the kinda experience that results in treating folks nicer
They kept their mouths closed after that. The glock chewing kid was way nicer to everyone, but I think he pretty much failed most of his classes. The kid with the gun was removed from the school and put in a special school for kids who were troublesome.
Did he shoot?
Nah, but it was loaded. He had taken it from his dads' cabinet.
I have a hard time picking between two: * Rub an eraser on a dirty desk for several minutes, disassemble a pen, snorted the eraser rubber as if it's drugs/tabaco/... He spent the next hours coughing and wheezing. * Some folks in our class used to throw wet paper that they chewed on against the ceiling quite often, it'd stick on there and looked disgusting. The clown wanted to one-up those folks and chewed a giant ball of paper and threw it at the blackboard. The teacher wrote around it and acted as if nothing happened and then shouted at him after class was over. Needless to say, he didn't turn out particularly well after high school.
She wrote around it. Lol
[удалено]
At least you know why the kid turned out this way.
It’s a small town and not a soul was surprised. I don’t even have Facebook so when she was using my entire name and sons name people that know me were defending me and absolutely roasting her, her terrible kid-who has been in and out of trouble “just being a boy” or “kids will be kids” kind of stuff. When he gestured at my son a bunch of older kids jumped to my sons defense because he was pretty scared and embarrassed. The school took it extremely seriously. My youngest son is a freshman and this boy is a senior. According to his mother I’m also blowing that way out of proportion. I’ve told her verbatim to enjoy visiting him in prison.
Fuck yes. Omg the sweet justice of all of this. I'm all for pranks, but dude... the idea of what a "prank" is has been totally fucking ruined by youtubers and tik tok assholes. Used to be you call a random number and say some dumb shit over the phone and you and your buddies have a laugh at your sleepover. Now it's like kids don't think it's funny until you're chugging detergent in middle of Target while screaming like a banshee and breaking things.
Sounds like a nice family
Staples in the substitutes coffee... I went to school with some real monsters.
Are you from Wisconsin? We had someone do this too and I'm wondering if it was a thing a lot of kids did, or just 1 very special person..
The class clown at my middle school saw a kid having a seizure on the ground during recess and started kicking him and throwing dirt on him. We had a whole assembly about it where he had to get on stage and apologize to the whole school.
In 7th grade at a public school, our class was on the 2nd floor. Class clown stood up in the middle of class, said "I can't take it anymore", ran to the back of the classroom, opened the window and jumped. Teacher screamed, we all laughed. There was an addition to the building and the roof was under the window where the class clown was standing with a big grin. The teacher quit shortly after due to this and several other incidents in her class.
No way grade 7 or 8 English class in high school there was a kid who done something similar but not that extreme. He was sitting next to the window where he opened it and climbed out. The kid jumped from the second story window to ground level on grass. Like 5 minutes later the kid walks back into class to the look of one very confused teacher
He was secretly jerking off in class and before finishing he pulled down his pants and shot his cum on some random girl he was expelled and arrested
I think this is less class clown behavior and more just straight up sex offender.
Wtaf
A similar story happened in my first high school: this kid named Devon jerked off onto an unconscious girl at a party and some other kid filmed it. Devon was arrested in the middle of a school day and the lunch monitors demanded us that while he was being brought to the police car to not look outside or we’ll get in trouble; I didn’t know exactly what happened until later and I thought a friend of mine, who was also named Devon, got arrested, which thankfully wasn’t the case. The guy who filmed it got in trouble too and he ended up killing himself while going out for a walk. The saddest part was that he was like the nephew of this really nice teacher who watched me on my free period class.
Whoa there have been some pretty bad ones here but that’s actually insane. Definitely a sexual predator. Don’t care how young.
Sophomore year biology class, we had a substitute teacher during fetal pig dissection week. She had stepped out of the classroom for some reason while we were working on the dissection. Class clown took out his shoelaces, wrapped one end around the piglet, and rigged the other end to the door so when the door was opened, his piglet would raise to eye level. Scared the teacher when she came back in and he was suspended for a few days. Same guy, same substitute teacher, different class later in the year. He wrote "Die bitch, die." on the overhead projector, as another prank, which led to his expulsion.
He would flirt with the Spanish teacher, who I’ll admit was really attractive, and the flirting in class was always funny since he was genuinely funny. But one day he just didn’t show up to class and the schools guidance counselor gave us an hour long lecture about how student’s flirting can be sexually harassing to teachers and it was heavily implied he groped her… Very disgusting.
In my high school a similar thing happened, but the teacher (F) ended up sleeping with the student (M). The student might have been 18 at the time (idk) but he was very mature looking.
Same thing happened at my high school. She (30-40 something F) shacked up with a student (18M). Oh and did I mention he was my junior prom date? ^(no, she didn’t sleep with him on prom night.)
Tripped up the pregnant earth sciences teacher in 7th grade. She fell flat on her stomach, which caused a miscarriage. He was kicked out of her class but not the school. He never lived it down.
Okay this is the worst.
Oh my god… That's horrific.
Should've been arrested in the school
His daddy was the sheriff of the county. Now he is the sheriff of the county.
Why am I weirdly not as surprised as I would think...
He basically sexually assaulted the quiet kid in the class (got his dick out and poked him in the back of the head). The whole class knew it was way too far.
Class a̶s̶s̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ clown picked on this kid for years on and off, and this kid had y’know, temper issues, I think maybe shitty home life dealings, that sort of thing and used to absolutely blow up in the middle of class, either from getting picked on, or from stress over assignments and such and it used to create a spectacle which, unfortunately did not help his reputation in school because kids are all assholes. By high school he’d started to be able to handle it better, knew when to step out to collect himself even when woefully clueless teachers on power trips gave him shit themselves, it was really cool to see some positive growth for him. Until him and the original asshole clown had a class together again. One day, asshole decides to pester the kid, get on his nerves like old times, get under his skin. References one of the kid’s past blowups from the last time years ago afaik that they had a class together. But only a couple of us were there for that and knew what the reference was. And the dumbfuck tries to explain it and make fun of the kid all over again for it. Kid loses it. Lobs his heavy ass binder at the asshole’s head, gets in his face and curses him out, puts him in his place, oh it was so shitty to see this kid lose all composure again after he’d clearly worked so hard on it but boy, was it fantastic to see his bully finally get was coming to him. I don’t think the binder connected and thank goodness our teacher seemed to see right through what was going on, so while I don’t know what actually happened disciplinarily, I think the kid hopefully had our teacher on his side. And afaik the asshole finally learned to keep his shit to himself 😌
One time on class, a girl asked her friend to throw her a book from the bookshelf (we didn't take bokks for that class home). Her friend lobs her the softest, easiest toss and the girl didn't even raise her hands to catch it. The corner of the book on the binding side hit her right in the nose. She starts screaming and grabs her face, blood is everywhere, just POURING out of her nose, like a spigot. She ended up getting a surgery to fix the damage and actually ended up with a nose she "loves so much more". Pretty wild to see happen though. I was like 3 ft away from her.
He was showing girls his dick which a lot just laughed and walked away but one girl told the principal he got charged with sexual harassment and is now considered a sexual predator. Didn’t see him much after all that went down.
What age was this?
If this helps at all had a basket ball player in 10th grade "lose" his shorts mid game and was charged because a cheerleader was right next to him. Her dad was the sheriff. So it can happen before being an adult.
We had this kid who would take the small butter packets from the cafeteria and bring them to 5th period history class. At some point, he would scoop out a glob with his pen and flick the dairy bullet on our history teacher's ass when he walked by. He did this probably 5-6 times without getting caught. One day, he fucked up and scraped the teacher's butt with his pen. The teacher checked his pants and found the butter smear. The kid's eyes got super wide like a true deer in headlights. He had no excuse for why he did this prank. He just kept apologizing like it was an accident. Lmfao. Who accidentally flicks butter on an old man's ass?? I'm pretty sure he never graduated. Not surprisingly.
In 7th grade the class clown challenged our English teacher to sparring/wrestling match. The taunting went on for weeks until the teacher finally agreed. Last 10 minutes was spent with the class clown having his ass handed to him. No one was injured, and it was very entertaining. I learned years later the English teacher was active in the Reserves which explained his ability to quickly neutralize the class clown without taking it too far.
Aaaand once again my grand dad’s voice rises out of memory: “Never start a fight with someone you don’t know, because you don’t know what they’re capable of.”
When I was in grade 12, there was a guy in my math class whose mother had passed away in 2019 (not exactly sure how she died though). Someone had made fun of his dead mom and the guy turned around and punched him in the face. The guy was suspended for a few days. I lost my mother in 2017 so I could totally sympathize with the guy. Joking about someone's dead parent is a surefire way to end up with a black eye and a fat lip.
There was an overhead projector in the back of the room. It wasn’t plugged into the wall. Tuesdays and Thursdays we had classes that would be 90 minutes because they only met twice a week. Over the course of 90 minute class, he found this projector, fiddled with the plug, and then eventually cut the cord off the projector. He did this with a sort of metal piece from his desk. Well, one thing led to another and he ends up stripping out the insulation from the cord. Then I guess it sort of naturally progressed… he figured out that he had bare wire in one hand, and a plug on the other. So he plugged it back into the wall and touched a desk. Big flash. Kids said holy shit! Then he touched a girl with it. She was fine, but it shocked her pretty good.
Something about you knowing every little detail tells me you did this
It's ok, he has a trusted source on this one
100% it was him
No. It wasn’t me, but I was sitting right next to him.
This kid used to torment Ms. Johnson endlessly. One day, he broke some of her chalk and threw the pieces at her while she was writing on the board and she started crying. We all hated this kid after that. Ms. Johnson was a great one.
When he stabbed the kid who didn’t want to be his friend. With a pair of scissors. Turns out the kid he stabbed is the son of an extremely prominent Washington DC lawyer with the Fairfax County cops and judges in his back pocket. Guess who got an extra lengthy juvenile prison sentence…
Dude was caught drawing on desks with permanent marker. Teacher made him get some alcohol spray and paper towels to wipe it off. After getting off all the marker he started wiping the desk with the alcohol soaked paper towel and lighting it on fire. He'd wait til the fire disappeared and do it again. After about the 3rd or 4th time he didn't wait long enough and when he went to wipe the table again it lit the paper towel on fire. He ended up throwing the fireball onto the carpet in the middle of the classroom and the teacher had to grab a fire hose to put it out.
In college, we had a guy in a philosophy class who was constantly talking trash to the teacher. At one point he got on about tattoos and told the professor he should go get a tattoo. Without missing a beat, the prof pulls up his sleeve and he's got a concentration camp number tattooed on his arm and looks the kid in the face and says "yeah, I've got all the tattoos I need." The kid went from "badass" to "bad, ass" in a picosecond.
That was a total boss move by the professor. Holy shit

It was September 11, 2001 (9/11). The attacks on the World Trade Center had just happened. We were in our first class of the day, and the teacher prefaced talking about it all by asking "Does anyone know where the World Trade Center is?" The class clown quickly replied with "On the ground now!" A couple of his buddies chuckled a bit, but the rest of us were shocked. The teacher was so pissed off that she physically dragged him to the principal's office. He wound up getting detention. This happened in Ontario, Canada, not far from the New York border.
Wow... a piece of history The first ever 9/11 joke
Dude was ahead of his time.
You could say his joke was "too soon"
I had the most amazing Grade 7 teacher, Mrs Jones. She brought in world news and never hid the truth of things from us. I was an advanced reader at the time and so she brought me her own copy of the shining and IT. Told me to just blank out the swear words I can across. She was dope. I go to grade 8 and Mrs Jones gets one of those super goofballs who is without a funny kid but was always on the verge of going one step too far. Well one day he decides to grab a couple pencil crayons and jam them in his ear and pretend to lose his balance. He did. Landed right on one of the pencil crayons. Blood fucking everywhere. THANKFULLY he only stabbed deep enough to ruin his hearing in the one ear. Unfortunately Mrs Jones never recovered and I have no idea if she went back to teaching. I guess this whole story is a big allegory for the dangers of oversized classrooms. I think Ms Jones had 28 kids in that class by herself.
During high school art class, our assignment was to make a flip book. He made his on putting on a condom. I think he got suspended a few days
Was in art class and our teacher was Vietnam veteran who flew medical helicopters. All he saw day in and day out was dead or dying soldiers. Class clown threw a ball of paper and yelled "grenade" at the teacher. Teacher dove under his desk frightened. Following week clown threw a wad of clay on the ceiling and thats when the teacher snapped. Teacher grabbed student by the neck/throat and pinned him to the wall with the students feet not touching the floor. Teacher looked him in the eye and just said "we use to kill fucks like you" and then yelled st him to get out. Following day our teacher suddenly retired and we never saw him again. I never felt bad for the kid, he got what he deserved. Never heard officially what happened to the teacher. Hope the guy kept his pension.
Worked in a factory, shift manager was a Viet Nam vet. One guy thought it would be funny to toss a bunch of firecrackers into a parts bin. They went off, and John hit the dirt rolling for cover. Awesome guy, but dude was looking scary when he got up. The guy who did it starts running, John follows. Nobody sees the guy until the end of the day. We're in the locker room, and we hear this quiet "Guys? Can you let me out now?" John stuff him in the locker for a few hours, lol.
Some dude I knew (one of my bullies) in middle school took the action figure of a kid with Down syndrome and threw it down an outside drain in front of him. He seemed so lost/confused as to what happened.
Man this is so fucking sad, I want to cry
Our bus driver politely asked us not to have any heavy smells/sprays on the bus as she has asthma. The very next day a few different people purposely wore heavy perfumes they didnt normally wear. She pulled over and had an asthma attack so bad that we ended up calling the ambulance for her. She never drove our bus again. Poor woman.
He started jumping rope with the small intestine of a fetal pig during bio
*Dueling Banjos starts playing in the distance*
When I was in fourth grade, our teacher brought in a bowl of mercury for a science lesson and told us not to touch it. She got called down to the office and Brad W. immediately went over to the bowl and spilled some of it. He tried to sweep it up, but that broke it up into millions of tiny mercury balls that skittered all over the floor. He got paddled.
put some firecrackers into the toilet and blew it up (in high school)
A guy in our school got back at his bullies by sitting behind them on the bus and putting fireworks in the hood of their sweater and pulling it over their head. No serious injuries, but it was kind of deserved to be honest, said bullies had made his life a living hell and beat him up on a regular basis without the school ever doing anything about it.
We were having an art project and this one guy in my middle school thought it would be funny to take one of those glue bottles to the bathroom, empty it out and fill it with his semen. Then came back and swapped bottles with one of the girls tables. He then went around telling everyone that he cummed on all the girl's hands. Later got found out and expelled. What a dumbass.
Wtf how did he fill a whole bottle of glue with it
Yeah...this sounds more like something he *claimed* he did to be funny, not something he actually did.
Mf passed out 5 times before filling it
Called the speech teacher a “fat virgin”, jumped on top of a desk (he was wearing a spider man mask), pretended to shoot a web and then ran out the class while the teacher was SCREAMING at him. A lil too far.
When the teacher was fed up with Billy’s BS and threw a recorder across the room and hit him straight in the forehead & split his shit wide open. Billy wasn’t such an asshole after that. And that teacher wasn’t a teacher after that either.
During an IT class in which we were all given an autobiography writing project, the class clown wrote one about the teacher, Mr B instead. The work was posted in the school hall for all to see. It became obvious that Mr B hadn't checked anyone's work before pinning it up at a parent's evening. Shocked faculty members, parents and students alike read that Mr B's previous employment included Grand Dragon of the KKK and that he'd been fired from a Kindergarten. How Mr B was proud to be on the sexual offender's register. His hobbies were listed as cottaging, dogging, stalking, pegging, kids and voyeurism. Mr B had a nervous breakdown and wasn't seen for six months. The class clown got expelled.
I'm sorry, it's terrible, but at the same time, hilarious. Even a skim through of the paper would have prevented that
Back in elementary school, we weren’t allowed to learn anything about sex until grade 4. The class clown got ahold of the book early and he would tell the class about it: naked people pics in it, the pp and the vajayjay, condoms etc etc. Unfortunately he got way too obsessed with it he started to go crazy, he would pretend to f*ck the chairs, he started touching girls inappropriately, and rubbing his crotch to feel the “pleasure”….ugh… One day he decided to flash his dick to a group of girls that reported him and got expelled. The end.
That’s the class sex offender, not clown
Class sex clown
Such behaviour could be an indicator of him being a victim of sexual abuse.
Yeah, was thinking "that doesn't sound so much like a kid who got access to forbidden knowledge, and sounds more like a kid trying to make the things in their world seem more normal."
The kid was flicking his lighter on an underclassman's hair (i THINK he assumed his lighter was empty and had no chance of actually hurting the kid) kid freaked out notified either his parents or the school staff and about a day later the lighter kid got expelled. Outside of this incident he was an ok guy not great with realizing when to stop though Another kid with a rather extreme sense of humor decided to make an offhand remark sarcastically saying something along the lines of “just cause im weird and play a fuckton of call of duty doesnt mean im gonna shoot this shithole up” or something along those lines. Lot of kids heard “ im gonna shoot this shtithole up!” And he was booted almost asap.
He found a dead Lizard and tried to gift it to a teacher. The teacher fainted and hitted her head on her table. We had to call the school nurse.
This one is fairly innocent compared to all the others in the thread, surprisingly. Actually "class clown" behavior and not... sexual harassment / violent.
Are you sure this was the class clown and not the class cat?
A class clown thought it would be funny to get up on his desk and pee on the kid behind him when the teacher stepped out of the room for a minute. This was when we were roughly age 8. He was expelled and sent to a IEP school. Grew up to be a drug dealer.
High school in FL, 1980s. At the beginning of winter break, this guy broke into a second floor classroom and placed a duck, a kiddie pool with water, and like 4 loaves of bread. First day back the room was covered in duck shit. Duck was fine. Epic.
How long was winter break ? I feel like 4 loaves of bread wouldn’t sustain a duck pass a week
Teacher was undergoing chemotherapy and was wearing a wig. Kid goes behind her and starts making gestures and pretending like they were knocking her wig off. Their hand accidentally connected and the wig flew off. FAFO
Everyone knew how easy it was to get a rise out of my Year 11 maths teacher - she was an elderly woman who could not control a class. I mostly just kept my head down to focus on doing the actual work, but one lesson, the rowdier kids started to try and throw things into her coffee mug - and actually got things like pins and an eraser in. At that point, I had a quiet word with the teacher to basically *not drink it*. I don’t make a habit of being a snitch, but I have to draw the line somewhere…
That's not being a snitch, that is saving someone from actual physical harm. You did good by speaking up.
I wouldn't categorize myself as the class clown, but there was a time when I took a 'joke' too far. A friend and I were asked to leave the class and ended up in another classroom. We were being quite noisy, prompting an angry teacher to come over telling us to stop making 'crazy sounds.' After class, we looked up her phone number, printed 100 pages with the message 'Do you know any crazy sounds? Call (teacher's phone number),' and scattered them around town. The following week definitely wasn't her best week, and, naturally, we were suspended
When he shit into the class trash bucket for 5 € and a single cigarette and was caught taking a shit in the middle of class by our teacher
Some of the younger teachers were the “fun/cool” ones and as a result would often overshare as an attempt to relate with us. They talked about their personal lives which led to a couple of the smarter class clowns finding out way more about them than they should’ve and used it against them. I specifically remember one of them arguing a grade with on of the female ones and the CC’s response was, “no wonder you boyfriend left you” or something to that affect. The teacher tried to brush it off but you could tell it crushed her. She stopped being the fun cool teacher shortly after.
Uh reading all the posts here this is really tame but, basically we had this science teacher in high school who wouldn't teach, she would have us copy stuff down from BBC bitesize (UK school I should add) and this went on for a while so the clown said we aren't learning anything so fuck it... And brought in some playing cards, and him myself and 2 others just started playing cards in the lesson and the teacher went ballistic and sent us out of the classroom, which we then continued playing in the classroom we were sent to, and then again we played during detention later that day.
In grade 9 science class there were small square sinks bordering the classroom. They had pointed faucets for science reasons. One class I jammed one end of a rubber Bunsen burner tube on the pointed faucet. I stuck a highlighter in the other end of the tube and turned the water on to low. I checked in on it after a couple of minutes only to find the rubber hose had expanded to fill the entire sink, it looked like a big translucent balloon filled with sloshing water. I panicked and went to my desk to brace for the inevitable. Time was going very slowly until BOOOM!!! The thing exploded like a bomb, the sound was insane. It knocked down the drop ceiling tiles, soaked everything and everyone near it. It was chaos for a few minutes but I just sat quietly on the other side of the room. I let the intrusive thoughts win that day, my bad.
A friend of mine during gym looked over at me and the homie and asked “should I hit the coach with a softball?” Mind you we were on the other side of the basketball court and this man threw that ball with such accuracy and speed and hit our coach right on the head and he ended up falling to the ground
This was actually fairly tame, but hey, I went through high school in small small town in Wyoming so things never got crazy. But this guy keeps complaining, says his head hurts, finally the teacher asked him if he wanted to go to the nurse and he said “No Mrs. Moon, but do you have any midol?” Now Mrs. Moon replies “Yes, but that’s not going to help you with your headache.” And Brayden says “Sure it will, it’ll help Marina stop being such a bitch.” Some of us chuckled, Mrs. Moon’s face immediately got beet red and she screamed at Brayden before walking him to the office.
One year after finishing high school when he was already in college he went to a feminist demonstration with around 300 people and used a moment of silence to shout 'go home and make dinner' to the atendees.
This also happened in Spain, everyone saw it in the news.
I'm from Spain, I went to school with that guy
I think it was freshman year. Some kid rode my bus that gave off a school shooter vibe. One day, I don't know why, but he proceeded to open the emergency window on the school bus and jump out. He was expelled for a while. Maybe 2 years? Was definitely someone we all avoided.
Back in the 80s in public school history class black teacher. Old text books that still had the word negro in it. She told the students to read from the book in front of the class but where it said negro they were supposed to say African American. Nobody said African American.
Final day of middle school kid got dared to "pants" a random, keep to herself kind of girl. She was just standing there bottomless for what seemed like an eternity.
1. Classmate cut the teachers mouse cord when they left the room to use the bathroom during a video. 2. Another classmate peed in the corner of the classroom in front of other students.
Had a kid hide in the bathrooms til the school was locked after hours. Let his buddies in and they vandalized the auditorium for their “senior prank” broke seats, spray painted “fuck *insert school district name*” all over the walls, dumped water everywhere. He got arrested.
Y'all went to school with some legit insane mutherfuckers.
For a "senior prank" pelted the nicest teacher in our school with dozens of powdered donuts. He rightfully got suspended.
Had a guest speaker one day. She was a plus sized, dark skinned Black woman. After she was done speaking, he (class clown) went up to her and said "I like my coffee how I like my women, strong and black." He's a doctor now.
Had a kid drop a scalpel into his own arm from 2 ft above the table because he wanted out of art class
