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

      In second grade I asked to go to the nurse’s office because I didn’t feel well. The darling teacher actually shriveled up her face and sneered at me - “You’re fine”

      Ten seconds later I puked directly on her

      She seriously did it as an accident, I was in first class with her and she had diarrhea or something, this was second class and things hadn’t improved.

      Orgasm v organism the room was so quiet you could hear a mouse fart and people’s faces were red from second hand embarrassment or holding in laughter, I don’t think the dude even noticed until after when his friends told him. If I were the teacher during that I’d correct 3s in since there’s no way I would have survived without being ded from oxygen deprivation from holding it in, bro went through multiple pages (of orgasms) like this, it was glorious like something out of a cringy 80s dude bro comedy.

        i like to think that a teacher who gets the shitpants never denies a request again. there’s a dignity in embarrassment improving the lives of others. what really should hapoen is those teachers get their knees broken tho

          Yea no kidding, when I was a sub years later that classmate’s experience was on my mind, so I always allowed requests since you can never know what someone’s else’s body is going through exactly.
