    - I got told off for kicking my P.E. teacher in the face... I was only 9 or 10, and he was trying to make us do shoulder stands (you know, lie on your back and stretch your legs up reeeaaaallly high...), I went as high as I could, but he insisted I needed to go higher. His solution? Yank my legs up higher, to the point of actual pain. So I kicked him (hard) in the face from upside down as he was pulling, I had to stand in the corner for like an hour afterwards but I think I was pretty justified in what I did haha. Quite satisfying :rolleyes:

    - My twin bro got a detention for sneezing too loudly. :lolwut:

    - In year 8 or 9, me and a friend got told off for asking our very bald teacher if he waxed his head with polish because it was so shiny. :teehee:

    Slowly moving the table we were at out the door, got basically all the way out into the corridor before the teacher noticed.

    annnnd we might have maybe put a table on the roof.

    Me and a friend were playing 'duck duck goose' around a science classroom with a supply teacher and the head teacher walked in. We couldn't stop laughing.

    edit: And in a different science, with the same supply teacher, we moved every chair in the room to the very right hand corner without him noticing, and he caught us on the last one

    Not funny to me but my English teacher at GCSE hated me. One lesson she told us to start an essay plan or something so I started a flow chart while my best friend (also the head girl) sat next to me decided she was tired and put her head down on the desk. After a few minutes (and half a page of flow chart later) she muttered something and I laughed, cue English teacher coming over and yelling at me for not doing any work while Head Girl was half asleep with her head still on the desk!

    Strangest thing... In primary school I was pushed over in the playground by a teaching assistant who thought I was bullying her daughter. I wasn't, just so we're clear but I was too scared to tell anyone. Now I wish I'd got her ass fired. The beauty of hindsight...

    Pronouncing uber without the umlaut (the dot things on top of the u) and sneezing. Seriously, sneezing.

    It's not really being told of, its rather the opposite.

    In my history GCSE class, I was one of the top students and the teacher would literally let me get away with anything. On a Wednesday, we have History for Periods 1/2 and 6 which is 3 hours! By period 6 I was quite bored and for about 4 weeks straight I slept in period 6. From 2:15-3:00 and she just used to laugh when I woke up with a smile on my face

    When I was eight years old, I was sitting in class playing with a small hole in my polo shirt. I sort of drifted off daydreaming, not realising I was making the hole bigger and bigger until my teacher started shouting at me for having a hole the size of a large pizza in my shirt, exposing myself to the class. The school called my parents, they just thought it was funny.

    In junior school, my friend and I were playing some sort of rough pushabout game that 9 year olds love.
    She gave me this great push, and I fell over backwards into this old cow of a dinner lady who was always grumpy.
    She fell over spectacularly, and when she struggled back up, her face was thunderous and I was absolutely mortified. I stuttered several things along the lines of "I'm sorry, it was an accident, are you ok?" etc.
    Then she looked at me and said the dreaded words: "Go and sit on the hall floor". I nearly burst out crying there and then, this was a serious punishment in our school. I trudged up there with my friend who then said she'd try and tell her what happened. I sniffed a thank you.
    Next thing I knew, she came and sat next to me, she'd been sent there for lying!

    I was definitely at my most rebellious at junior school, I'm a bit of a goody-two shoes now.

    I remember a detention slip that was sent home from my Chemistry teacher once. Listed as the reason was:

    "For dancing the macarena with Stefan around multiple bunsen burners."

    Oh, Mr Carter :rolleyes:

    Re: Funniest Thing You've Been Told Off For
    I remember back in Primary School one weekend my entire class had gone to one of the girls birthday party.
    Anyway it was in a pub, and I'd wandered into the boys toilet instead of the girls ( I was like 5 or 6 at the time!) when we went back to school one of the boys who'd been in the toilet at the time had told the teacher I walked in on him and had seen him pee.

    She sent me to the heads office and I was terrified but she asked me what happened and it was the teacher that got wrong for wasting time and from then on she took an instant dislike to me.

    In year 7, I was really really innocent (well I'm still am, but my mind is not! ) .... anyway we were learning about the reproductive system.... the teacher was talking about erections, I didn't know what it was and thought it was like a scientific term or something. So i wanted to write the word and its meaning in my glossary book, I asked him what it was. Everyone started laughing, he thought I tried to make a joke and told me off! I had to hold my tears for 15 mins before lesson ended
