17 people share what 'the incident' was at their high school.

High school was an awkward and chaotic time for most of us, but there was usually at least one unforgettable incident that comes back to haunt the ten year reunion at the local pub...

So, when a Reddit user asked, 'What was 'the incident' at your high school?' people were ready to share the funniest or more memorable event that went down. Never forget the epic food fight of sophomore year inspired by the theatre kids.

We had so many pregnant teen girls that they had their own gym class. - Malicious_Tacos

The teacher who looked so much like a 70s pornstar, did turn out to have made porn in the 70s. - H_Marxen

3.

There was a “poop-a-traitor” leaving smeared faeces around the walls in the bathroom. I found one and I’ll never forget, it was picture was of a flower and sun, drawn in poop. There were several incidents before the person was caught “brown handed” and several jokes about “code browns” - Electronic_Sugar_289

4.

My class had an anonymous blogger a la Gossip Girl who would target each of us in turns like spreading rumors about students and teachers and trying to turn friend groups against each other (this was an all female class).

Nothing too dramatic but we spent the whole year trying to figure out who it was (narrowed it down to be someone from our class and from band).

In the end we gave up because everyone found her writing style so over the top and annoying and the lack of attention caused the blog posts to appear less frequently til it stopped altogether - smolderingair

5.

Someone got access to all the monitors in the school and just blasted porn, video and all. Was wild. - farawayxisland

Freshman: Older HS kids are having a party near the end of the school year, get busted, one tries to run from the cops and crashes into the electrical transformer in front of the school giving everyone 2 days off.

Sophomore: Some moron stole 3 mercury thermometers from a science class and decided it would be fun to smash them in the gym during a passing period. School was evacuated and the gym was closed for a week. - GlassEyeMV

We had a woodshop teacher accidentally cut off 3 of his fingers in front of one of his classes. Ironically, he was teaching about safety when it happened. - Final-Ad-2033

Two guys swam to school (it was located on an island) through the most busy commercial shipping lane on the continent. - Treczoks

HS Football Friday. One of the players emancipated himself and had a small shack out in the woods. Big kegger. An older kid graduate shows up as some point. Later that night the older kid DDrives into the rear end of a pay loader, killing him.

An investigation leads to many underage kids getting in trouble. Starting football lineup was all involved. Wrecked the season.

The emancipated kid took all the trouble. We had an assembly and the principal says “heads will roll” - Successful_Gap8927

10.

We had a music teacher who absolutely doused herself in perfume. It was like a cloud all around her all day, every day. You could pretty much smell her before you saw her.

We had music after lunch so a few were in the room to kill the remaining 10 mins of lunch. One girl went through her desk and found her perfume and sprayed it once laughing that she was Mrs X.

Few minutes later Mrs X walks in, sniffs and starts looking around and we all think we are in trouble because she must know we were in the drawers.

She then proceeds to tell the girls that they shouldn't wear such cheap, nasty perfume because now her room stinks of cheap perfume. Never tried harder to stifle a laugh in my life. - Livid-Leader3061

One of the science teachers thought having a class project around creating mini rockets would be a fun little activity. Well unfortunately he didn’t notify the school where or when they were going to test these.

So the school goes into lockdown because of the explosions. Him and his class get locked out of the school. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told. Wasn’t actually in that class - Transdevil23459

12.

Someone brought their capybara to school and it ended up becoming class president - Europa_Gains

One of the best students from this one class was found to have stolen his teacher's smartphone and online banking details. He got caught when he did the first transaction. - YouCanDoThings

A group of kids threw a desk out the 3rd story window. - siorys88

A girl fell through the gym’s acoustic ceiling tiles and had to wear a halo. - usfgirl1020

Because a virus infected our school system and kept the data of the school hostage for $300,000, my high school was recently featured in the press. - perplexedsouts

17.

Senior prank, someone dumped a few hundred pounds of flour and yeast into the school indoor pool, in hopes of turning it into a giant glob of dough (I guess). It didn’t work, just caused about 100K damage to plumbing, pumps, filters, etc. Prankster never caught. - Sea_Ganache620
