Funny Social Mishaps

Post Reply New Topic

Heheh! First new topic in Teen Forum. A thread for posting funny stories about amusing social mishaps you've gotten yourself into at school.

I just barely fit the criteria of this part of the forum. That is a good idea, Ben, by the way. I like it. Now, to my thoughts on the topic.

I know I've told some of you about this before, but you may not remember. Several times, I have called for my mom when she was nowhere near me. Is that childish or just a simple faux-pas, or what?

I think I fit the bill for teen, but won't anymore in another couple of months...?

How Serissa Helped Her Christian School History Class Remeber The Treaty of Versailles

Normally I was able to censor myself, but on that point, I messed up a bit, and said how Germany got "screwed over." As soon as I said it, I thought, oh nooooo but the teacher didn't make a big deal of it. On the upside, more people may have remembered that factoid, or so I hope, do to my faux pas.

This is really embarrassing...I was trying to figure out how to fit in aaround my gay friend and I said "all my friends are coming out to me!" meaning their telling me who they like. he just stared. things have been strange ever since.

not sure if this works but one time I was in orgestra class and we were talking about the sharps and flats and I said "Fat Charlie got donuts at every bakery" my way of memorizing them, and the teacher whos name was charlie got mad.

did he know you werent talking about him??

Here's a thread worthy of reviving. I gots a story for the group:

I was bullied a lot in junior high. One spring day in eighth grade, one of the bullies told me he wanted to give me a "strength test." I knew something was up, with the way his two wingmen were smiling, but for some reason I agreed. He had me sit at a desk, put my elbow on the table, and make a fist with my arm straight up in the air. He then grabbed my fist with both hands and told me to resist as hard as I could.

Somehow I didn't see it coming. After pulling back on my fist for a few seconds, he suddenly let go. I hit myself in the mouth HARD. I split my bottom lip way open and was dripping lots of blood. I must've gone into shock. I happened to have some crumpled-up sheets of notebook paper left over from winter (students were into making their own tissue paper this way then), so I pulled one out of my Trapper Keeper to stop the bleeding. I just sat there stunned while the three laughed for a few seconds. Then the other two moved on, and amazingly enough, the one who had held my fist in the first place asked "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Maybe you should see the nurse."

"No, I'll be alright." The first sheet was about done for, so I wadded it up and set it on my desktop. I got a second one out; I wasn't bleeding quite as bad now. "That was kind of funny, actually. Better than the stuff you guys usually come up with, anyway." I smiled a little. Like I said, I was too much in shock to properly react emotionally.

The teacher was late getting to class, so I was done bleeding by then and had disposed of all the bloody paper somehow. I noticed the other kid giving me nervous looks for the rest of the class, though.

That was the last time I ever got bullied, pretty much ever, although I didn't really realize it, or figure out why, until about halfway through summer vacation that year.

Recently, a teacher asked me to give a backstory for Euripides' play Medea. I cheerfully launched into the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece...and got it tangled up in my head with the legend of Culloch and Olwen, and ended up going into the spotted and yellow oxen and Dillian the Bearded...

I was horribly embarrassed, but I think everyone else was just confused.

Once when I was talking to a classmate I said eggs were dairy products.

One time in English class I meant to say "You have to be able to identify with the character" and it came out as "You have to be able to indentify with the calculator".

Another time, in another English class, people wanted the blinds drawn so I went to draw them and got all tangled up in the cord.

Once my chemistry teacher blew something up and it made me jump so much that I fell over backwards.

I also used to fall off my chair a lot. I provided everyone with a bit of comic relief by falling off my chair at the beginning of an exam.

I frequently say "Mum-" when I'm talking to a friend, not my mother at all.

Once at dinner with friends I said "I don't have much money because I didn't know I'd be coming out tonight." Everyone started laughing and saying "Do you have something to tell us?"

I was having a conversation with my friend,Justin,and he said something like,"Atleast you don't run around naked."

To which I replied,"No I just do that in the bathroom."

He looked at me like I was an idiot.

Like rhubarbpluscustard, I occasionaly call people 'Mom' instead of their names. I've only slipped twice at school, and it was too teachers both times. The first was in 2nd grade, and I don't remember the result. The second was In 7th, and I the teacher replied "Yes, my darling child?" Luckly, noone else heard it.

In history class last year, I had a thoughly NT teacher. He was nice, but my ideals and his occasionally clashed, resulting, usually, in my embarrassment.

I also call people Mum without realizing what I'm doing. As with Barracuda, it's always teachers.

I also do random things like (and I have actually done this) type (2+1)/2 into my caculator, even though I already know the answer.

Another time, in 6th grade we had a project where we had to build a city using only items around here. One of the graded aspects was a security system, and since we didn't have electricity, a group member suggested that we go to the zoo, knock out an alligator, put it in a moat, and train it to eat everybody but us. (Thinking they were being saracastic,) I agreed. They weren't being saracastic.

Several times I've almost called people my brothers name. I'll just be talking to them, or have something to tell them, and I'll almost say it, but catch myself in time, or cover it up such as i start to say it and say another word instead. yeah.

I went inter-state to see my team play over a weekend, and I was on the same flight home as my team. I saw one player, Ken McGregor, and I accidently called him Johnny. To his face. I didn't realise I'd said it until we had landed are were in the car going home
