I still sometimes think about the guy in my lower secondary school English class in probably 2016 reading the infobox on the Wikipedia article for Tanzania, and saying out loud, "Official languages: none de jure??", pronouncing it in a heavy singsongy Norwegian accent like "NOO-nuh duh YEW-ruh??", apparently believing "None De Jure" to be the name of some sort of obscure African language rather than just meaning "no official language"

And then I remember that this was around the same time that the teacher asked what New York was named after, and I raised my hand and answered "the Dork of York". And then my soul goes nichijou_pencil_stab.mp4 for a bit

    Mid ones: Classmate who shat themselves, classmate who publicly declared their love for a girl in the most cringe way and immediately rejected, classmate who tried to be funny in front of the whole school and it flopped miserably.

    Hard ones:

    • A classmate was arrested for intentionally destroying the food that was gonna be served in a beneficial event for thousands of people

    • Another one was arrested for turning obsessive/violent with his girlfriend.

    How do you crawl out of that?

    Oh wait wait, a uni classmate admited offhandedly fucking a sheep with his friends

    "What? You grew in a farm and didn't do it?"

      I grew up with a guy that got on his hands and knees and pleaded with a girl to not break up with him. Same guy asked out every single girl in our grade and by the time he had gotten halfway through the list the rest had gotten wind of it and were rejecting him out of principle.

      Hey, I also had a classmate who shat themselves in high school!

      I also had a classmate in elementary who, during a field trip hike, accidentally tripped, rolled down a hill action movie style, and fell face first in a river that we were just warned was full of animal shit and was referred to as the "scat river"while a whole class of elementary school kids watched and laughed. He switched schools.

        In the scale of embarassment accidents are accidents, they shouldn't count, that should include most cases of shitting themselves (unless it's a tactical self-shit and somehow someone reveals it).

      Nothing I'm comfortable with sharing, so I give up.

      Although there was a schoolmate who puked in the hallway once, and left everyone in the classroom scrambling to open the windows. Was the shit story a bit like that?

        The problem was this guy never tried to be funny before
