It's easy to think back on your school days as the best time of your life...
...
Who are we kidding? Middle school was a waking nightmare and we all just barely survived high school. Terrible, dystopian stories littered school campuses all over the country and, fortunately, the internet is here to gather up some of the worst for us.
WARNING: Some entries involve murder and sexual conduct.
Reddit user, u/Throwawayv6969, wanted to hear about the worst school days when they asked:
What was the most messed up thing that ever happened in your school?
Darn It! So Close!
So, at the beginning of maybe my sophomore year of high school, we were all announced that if they were no fights for the entire school year, every class would get a pizza party, pretty stupid, I know, but it surprisingly almost worked. Up until about a couple of weeks before the school year ended and there was a fight in one of the main halls. Someone shouted, "Great! We don't get a pizza party now!"
An Over The Top Respose
A substitute teacher was trying to get the attention of a troublesome student who had earbuds in playing music. The teacher went up and pulled the earbuds out and the dude got up and started beating the sh-t out of the poor old man. He would've killed him too if my teacher hadn't taken him down.
Sounds Like Something Boys Would Do...Or Idiots.
One of the most f-cked up things I saw at school were 2 lads in biology class, they were sat next to each other and both had a scalpel each for dissecting frogs or something like that. Anyway one jabs the other one slightly with the blade in the arm enough to draw a little bit of blood. The other one reacts with a harder jab to the other with his blade in his arm while shouting f-ck off.
Anyway this escalated to the point where both of their arms ended up completely butchered with neither of them backing down with harder and deeper cuts with blood all over the classroom. It was crazy to watch ( the teacher had left the room while all this was happening )
Be Sure To Look At The Grade Level
A boy and a girl from my class once went to the girls' bathroom to down shots of liquor during a break in the middle of the schoolday in 5th grade. I was there to guard the door to make sure they wouldn't be caught.
This one would be up there
More Money, More Problems
Happened a week ago before coronacation was announced. I'm a foreign exchange student in the US and this freshman I knew was secretly cracking bank accounts and PayPal accounts, selling the information online etc.. 5 days before the closing of the school he got arrested in middle of class, because he was flexing with his stolen bank accounts and somebody reported him (He actually had over $750k+).
Ended up being a good exchange memory for me.
The WHAT Week?
Some boys in 6th grade had a fight in the canteen. Apparently one of boys talked sh-t about the other boy's mother. Of course the boy got pissed and started beating the sh-t out of him. They were pushing, cursing, kicking, punching and screaming at each other. The teachers stopped the fight and both boys got suspended.
This was only the first week of school. That escalated fast.
HahahaGross
I've got plenty but I'll just stick to one topic. So the kids at my school are kinda stupid and think that it's funny to flush stuff down the toilet. Within this shortened school year someone has flushed a Nike sneaker, a dead squirrel, a big fish and a sh-t ton of condoms. I know you can find the first 3 on Snapchat and the last one is because my school is full of horny people who decide the bathrooms are their personal trash cans and sex spots.
A Funeral For Everyone But You
My cousin (by marriage, not by blood) got killed in a car accident during my sophomore year. She was really popular around the school, a cheerleader and heavily liked by everyone. That day was weird. I wasn't too heavily affected because we weren't close by any means but everyone else? Damn. They brought in grief counselors to the library so people could talk to them, friends were just bawling, and I don't recall any classes actually being taught that day. It was just silent altogether. The funeral was pretty big. I won't forget other family members just crying throughout the whole thing.
Unnecessary Violence
In middle school, some guy who was known to be rebellious, stabbed the eye of a female classmate of mine with an orange sharpie. Orange liquid came out of her eyeball and it was dripping around everywhere because she was screaming and running around out of panic.
Just All Good Things
Well there was that one time where we had 6-7 fights in a single day.
There was also that one time where we had to go into a 20-25 minute lockdown because some kid got into a fight or argument and their mom or dad ended up coming to back their kid up. People thought that the parent had a gun or something.
Oh, that reminds me, when I was a freshman, people were starting to go home when suddenly everyone just started running in the opposite direction ASAP, running into random classrooms. Turns out, some dude got arrested by the cops and according to some people, they literally cuffed him on our school's door steps.
Would They Then Retreat To The Rafters Afterwards?
The phantom sh-tter.
Basically some girl or dude was crapping in a bag and throwing it in the girls toilets weekly.
We're All Going To Go On A Trip
Someone thought it would be a great idea to bring in magic mushrooms and hand them out to people in my year (13/14 years old at the time).
About 20 kids were off their faces during lunch-break and last lesson.
The kids that got high were suspended for a week and the dude who brought in the shrooms got expelled from the school.
Doing Something So Stupid Everybody Knows About
A guy ran into one of these thick glass doors.
The door had a big fat crack afterwards and had to be replaced. The guy was completely fine.
A True Bloodbowl
Not my story, but my brother's, Someone split their head open, like properly open, and while the ambulance was coming, the teachers just gave him a bowl to bleed into, by the time the ambulance got there the bowl was almost full and he looked like a dead man walking.
Just Like REAL Political Figures!
When the officers of the high school student council had meetings, they'd lock the door and break out the coke, right in the middle of the conference room but out of view from the window on the door (only way to see in). The conference room they used was in the main office just feet away from the principle, VP, and school resource officer.
A close second, one of the guys, who was one of the smartest in the school and had went through all the gifted programs in elementary and middle school, in high school became a major xtc trafficker. Not just reselling a few pills to students, but making deals with hundreds at a time. And he eventually got up to taking like 20 a day himself. Not just a rumor either, after he quit that after graduation, we became very close friends. It's wonderful that he completely turned things around too, now has a long career as a firefighter and a wonderful family.
A Bit Of Bad Luck.
Girl had a seizure at the top of a flight of concrete stairs. The janitor caught her but not before a couple of bounces. The whole right side of her body was paralyzed for life.
She was a good kid, her parents ditched out on her and she was living with her sickly grandma. Supposedly it was caused by stress but I have no idea if that's true.
Her whole life f-cked beyond recovery by a bit of bad luck.
...Wow.
German teacher on the verge of retirement was accused of trading good grades for a bj by a student that was at my school in the 80's. No one believed it because the man was the sweetest teacher anyone had ever had.
Then another student came forward with the same story, and then another, and another. Turns out this guy was getting blowies on the regular all through the 80's. All the girls were of age when this happened so by the time all this came to light there was very little the school could do, so the guy was just quietly pushed into retirement.
Nope. Wow.
When I was in 8th grade, a 4th grader and her older sister in high school were both shot and killed point blank by their father, who then killed himself. Their mom was so lost, and she still wears a pin with their faces on it every single day.
It was weird, for about a week the school was silent. Bullying just stopped all together. The lunch room was quiet all day. I still remember their mom and the 4th grader's best/only friend wailing at the funeral.
Wow, almost the exact same thing happened at my school when I was in sixth grade. There is a small woods in my neighborhood, the guy took his family there and shot them. I don't think he did anything to his wife but I do know he had a son and daughter, both younger than me. The youngest child was in my little brother's kindergarten class. After he killed them, he killed himself. Both kids went to our school, which didn't have a huge student body at the time, so a lot of people knew them at least in passing. They turned a couple of classrooms into "comfort rooms" for the next few weeks, with stuffed animals and counseling available and a table set up to make the mother cards and stuff. I don't know how she could ever get over something like that. My little brother was too young to understand, one day there was a girl in his class and the next she was gone and the whole culture of the school had changed.
I Take It Back. Wow.
Pregnant girl went missing. Her boyfriend friends and family of hers hand out flyers looking for any help finding her. Her boyfriend, who as I mentioned was handing out flyers with her friends and family, confessed to killing her and dumping her body in the garbage.
Do you have something to confess to George? Text "Secrets" or "" to +1 (310) 299-9390 to talk him about it.
The people who love you the most can break your heart because of their betrayal of trust.
Cheating is cowardly and inexcusable, but depending on the situation and the couple, it is possible for them to find a path to healing emotional wounds.
But there are some ways in which infidelity is totally unforgivable.
That's the kind of scenario Redditor WCh3L3 was curious to hear about when they asked:
"What’s the wildest cheating story you’ve witnessed or happened to you?"
It must be exhausting leading double lives.
Hospital News
"A friend of a friend found out that her husband was cheating when she got to the hospital to see her husband who had just moments before been brought in by ambulance after a serious car accident only to be denied entry to his room because 'his wife was already in the room with him.'"
"He had two simultaneous lives with two women, neither of which was aware of the other."
– JeBronlLames
The Ruse
"My ex-wife pretended to be admitted to a mental health ward for long term treatment while actually staying with her new man and cheating on me."
– Impossible-Visit-199
"This one is just next level."
– most-royal-chemist
"That’s some Batman villain level of intrigue and machination. His wife missed her calling and wasted her abilities on sleeping around."
– filifijonka
A Separate Life
"My friend's mom was in a relationship with a guy for years and they ended up getting engaged and due to marry."
"The guy was a senior director of a company for which he travelled every week abroad for business."
"Eventually, the guy had a heart attack and when my friends mom turned up at the hospital, his wife and 2 kids were there also."
"Turned out he was already married with children and living a double life the whole time. When he went 'abroad' for business, he was simply going back to his actual family."
– wallbagz
Here's The Story
"My dad did this. He worked nights and would juggle both families that way."
"He came clean after he got admitted to hospital for heart trouble and realised that if things went badly he’d end up in this exact situation."
"I was 16 when he came clean that I have an older brother and sister. They found out about me then too - as did his wife."
"ETA: I’d actually already figured it out before he told me though. Nobody else had."
"EATA: I saw a preview of a text on my dad’s phone from my sister. I didn’t know she was my sister obviously, but it said ‘hi dad, mum says…’"
"At first I was in denial and I thought his friend must have borrowed his phone or something. I started to watch him more closely."
"He had a ringtone (lol the 00’s) that would say the name of the caller. I noticed whenever a certain name rang he’d leave the room. Some tactical eavesdropping later and 15 year old me had it figured out that I had a brother and sister."
"I didn’t clock I had a stepmother though, or that I was family no2 and they were his primary family. But I still think I did pretty well!"
"My whole family on my mum’s side knew - mum respected that it was my dad’s secret to tell and she gave him time to tell it. (Although they did have a few arguments about it as I was growing up, I never knew what they were about at the time.)"

Life is never the same once the truth comes out.
Shameless
"A family friend's husband was having an affair for 20+ years and that woman knew the entire time about his family. He was at her ranch one time and was bucked off a horse and broke his back. The affair partner called his wife to tell her and acted like everything about this situation was normal and the wife had no reason to act all upset at the affair. Some people really just have no shame."
"Guy lived and made a complete recovery, left his mistress and they stayed together since they were working on their relationship. He died a few years ago and the wife finds out he never actually left his mistress just lied."
– SailoLee92
Unilateral Decision
"In a small town the husband kept telling people he had an open marriage; finally someone asked his wife about it, she was unaware of this new arrangement."
– Long_Strange_Trip_GD
Rehab Romance
"Was in rehab, two people were there for sex addiction one a minister the other a Jewish housewife. They left rehab together early. Woman divorced her husband who sent her to rehab for sex addiction and married the guy she met in rehab. They are still married 10 years later and seem very happy."
– Life-Evidence-6672
On The Case
"I knew a guy years ago that was a private investigator. Many times he was approached by a spouse who suspected their partner was cheating."
"He had a slam-dunk strategy. He would suggest his client sign up for a course, whether a hobby thing, or educational. The key was that the class would happen for a period of weeks, all on the same day of the week, and all at the same time of day."
"Then, while his client was in class, he would follow the spouse."
"Caught them every time."
– PJMurphy
If you have a hunch about an unfaithful significant other, it's there for a reason.
Going For A Run
"Had a coworker who cheated on her live-in boyfriend. She would tell him she was going for a run, put on her shorts without underwear and would f'k her side piece in the apartment parking lot. So then she would come back inside sweaty 30 mins later and needed to shower and it all made sense to her boyfriend, he never questioned it. She was an awful human."
– rashawah
It Made Scents
"A friend caught her husband cheating because he kept coming home smelling like ferrets."
"Hard to play off 'long day at work' and explain that."
"When she found out at a holiday party that one of the young female coworkers owned ferrets, it all made sense."
– benloe7
Special Delivery
"I used to go to a comic shop. And the comic shop owner knew all of the gossip in the area. Nice dude. Remembers all of his regulars and asks about you if he hasn’t seen you in awhile to check in on people. Lot of people in the area grew up with his shop. So he’s got stories."
"Anyways he told us about this story from some years back about this regular. Who disappeared for a few months. Comes back one day. And the shop owner asks him, 'hey, man. Haven’t seen you in awhile?' Kind of like where have you been. The regular was like oh I’ve been getting divorced. I had to move it was a whole thing."
"So naturally the shop owner asks. 'Why are you divorcing your wife?' The regular caught his wife cheating."
"He had picked up a 2nd part time job as pizza delivery man because he was trying to fund to take his wife on her dream vacation. All of the money he earned from that job was supposed to go into that vacation. He had been working this job for like 6 months. It was a whole secret. She didn’t know he was doing that for her. Because he was trying to surprise her."
"He was the pizza delivery man at the motel. She was cheating at him with. The dude she was cheating on him with answered the door with her right next to him."
"He apparently didn’t even go back to the pizza place. He quit on the spot. Went home. Packed his sh*t and left town."

Those who are unfaithful in their relationships may think they're good enough for more than one person, but they're usually not.
And while you may not believe in it, there's something called karma, and watching it enact justice can be extremely gratifying.
If you were the one being cheated on, know that the person with whom you've fallen in love is not the kind of person you want to spend the rest of your life with and there will always be a better human who will respect you and love you.
And if you were the cheater, watch your back. Because whether you believe in it or not, karma's coming for ya.
Food trends are not so very different from fashion trends, constantly evolving and quickly becoming outdated or passé.
Can you think of the last time you were served ambrosia at a dinner party?
Or have you noticed how anything featuring kale is now met with an eye roll rather than excitement?
Of course, some food trends tend to last longer than others.
Even if many people wish that they would also become extinct... the sooner the better!
Redditor Prestigious-Humor872 was eager to hear all the food trends people wished would die out, and fast, leading them to ask:

"That’s all you see of them."
"You pay your bill on your phone, and are still expected to tip."- Megmuffin102
Saint Urbain Website GIF by Front of HouseGiphyBe it in presentation, cooking style, or flavor profile, people will likely always try to make food "cool" in truly bizarre ways.
Sometimes ignoring that the only thing that should truly matter is whether or not it tastes good.
At least people have finally realized that kale doesn't need to be added to everything!
For now, at least...
