[School/Work Edition] The most ridiculous thing that has ever happened to you? (1 Viewer)

[Suzy]

There was one situation that was so ridiculous that every time I remember it, I literally cry from laughing so hard. And because I just randomly remember it again after forgetting it ever happened, I relive the entire situation again and just die all over again.

One of the core subjects in my degree is based around experimental designs. The biggest assignment of the year was basically to conduct our own research, write out a report and present our findings to the class. It was a group project and it was worth 40% of our final grade. There were 3 members in our group.

Just like almost every group I have ever been in, I ended up doing all the work by myself. I'm not joking when I say the only thing one of the members (let's call him Zed) did was pick the topic. The other one (Bee) never even spoke to me. He always spoke to Zed and then Zed had to relay his messages to me so I can do the work even though he sat right across from me (round tables) the entire semester. We had 10 weeks to work on the assignment (from the 2nd week of the semester to the second last week). From the week we started to the last week, I was the only one to do anything related to the work at all. I even wrote out their speeches for them because I have a phobia of failing and I knew they weren't going to do their parts. So my thought processes were along the lines of "if they don't do the work then I'll fail as well". So I did it all.

Skipping to the day we had to present, I went to class and met with Zed. Bee was nowhere to be seen so I asked Zed if he knew anything and he said that Bee texted him that morning and told him he couldn't come to class because his friend's brother's scooter was stolen the previous night. I'm literally crying while writing this. Seriously, it wasn't even his own scooter but his friend's brother's scooter.

I'm not the type of person to deal with educational injustices since my education is important to me so my teacher was already aware of the fact that I had done everything by myself. So on the presentation day I just told my coordinator and the other teachers present that I had done everything alone anyway so I had no issue with presenting it alone. Zed still presented his part and I did the rest although both Zed and Bee failed the assignment.

But seriously, I'll never forget that scooter excuse.​

Ah, man, that sounds horrible.

I've never had anything that ridiculous happen, but the most outrageous thing that's ever happened was that I had to do a project...

with a couple.

I'm not sure what happened, but they refused to talk to each other so I had to do the entire thing by myself lol. It was a bit annoying, but as you'd have it, they were making out right after.

Oof I'm a lazy person, but I could never leave people hanging like this.

I don't think I have experienced something as ridiculous as this, but I have something similar ig?

We had a group project (not a big one). We just had to do like some assignments with information from a text. That one guy from my group just did everything on the same day we got the assignments. I mean I didn't complain, but l was pretty annoyed cause it was super rude and made everyone else in the group feel really bad.

Okay so in elementary school I was riding on one of these:

And one of my classmates were dragging me around via stick. Well, she was pulling me on the scooter, and then she pulled harder. And let go of the stick. So now the scooter's going really fast. I look down, and the stick she let go of is in my hand. I look up, and I'm set to hit my face on the edge of the lunch table seat. You know, one of these:

So it all happened fast. I quickly did that Matrix move and managed to get my whole body under the table and hit the wall. Teacher was really worried since I was an extremely quiet kid.

It was ridiculous. But man, it was an adrenaline rush too.

We had wooden rollers not plastic. No handles either. RiP fingers if you messed up.

Like this one

As for the topic I work security do you really want to know?

I've had a few but I think the biggest highlight was in my junior year of high school:
I was working on a project in Spanish class, got up to go get a marker and... I found a used condom in the marker drawer

Honestly, I can't recall anything too terrible or traumatizing. There was stuff that was frustrating but that was about it.

I had one professor give me a 79 in their class and i'm 100% sure it was for no other reason other than they didn't like me. I showed up to class, participated, and did my work. I just wasn't good at the subject (still made B's and high C's on exams). We had a disagreement once in class to do with news/politics (a subject they brought up and asked our opinions on) and they didn't like what I had to say.

Another professor wrote me a note on an essay I turned in why I didn't include a certain subject even though they specifically said not to in the prompt for the essay 😂

(in 1st grade chinese class)

we had to write like an essay using the vocab. this dumb girl who sat next to be copied my thing WORD FOR WORD and turned it in. obv the teacher realized someone copied and the girl kept denying it was her so i had to defend myself for like a full hour because this idiot wouldn't fess up

he couldn't come to class because his friend's brother's scooter was stolen the previous night

LMFAO did he actually expect someone to believe this XD

As for me: Here at the end of 7th grade we have exams that let you go in a better school after and study something useful for your future job, which is ridiculous enough because how 13-year-old kid would know what do they want to work?
The most important exams were math and native language + literature. Of course, I failed math lol and just stayed at my school without majoring in anything. At the end of 8th grade, they told us that in 9th grade we will have a major. BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL US WHAT IT WAS GONNA BE. And that's how we ended up having math classes 6 times a week, studying advanced mathematics.

I fell asleep on professor's chair in front of the whole class... when he came in he didn't bother to wake me up. He kept teaching quietly while I was asleep there... lol

that's pretty wild suzan omg

when i was 14 years old, my friends convinced me to sign up for some additional math classes. i did, which was not a good idea at all because most of the time the teacher would just talk about the mistakes that other students made on the tests and often laugh at that (of course the students that she would laugh at weren't there). i never really listened to her, instead i'd always sit at the back and listen to music while covering the earphones with my hair and hiding my phone in my pencilcase. the class had like 18 people, most of them were usually very active so the teacher was more focused on them and she never noticed what i was doing all the time. until that one time when she was walking through the classroom and accidentally looked at my pencilcase because i forgot to turn down the screen brightness. i was listening to a song where at some point the music video shows the singer laying on her bed with quite revealing clothes and the teacher assumed it was something inappropriate so she made me stand next to the board looking at a painting of some ancient mathematician for the rest of the lesson
