Teachers and Students Reveal The Grossest Moments They’ve Witnessed

These kids be crazy! But you didn't hear that from me!

Everyone's school career -teachers and students- is filled to the brim with life's craziest moments. The things we see when we should be educating and learning are things we'll never unsee. It's seared into our mind's eye. People act nuts in those buildings. And when you don't personally witness it, you are most certainly going to hear about it, even when you beg people to just shut up! Gossip and loud talk is inevitable no matter your age or position.

Redditor u/thisis45 wanted everyone to fess up and tell some tales asking... What's the grossest thing you've seen someone do in class?


Gone With the Wind. 

Freshman English. Prettiest girl in school sat right in front of me. She ripped one one day and turned around and stared me right in the eyes because she didn't expect me to hear it. Then she made a play fart noise as if that's what she did before. I wasn't buying it. She farted. sheptown

Freshman English too, middle of a test about Julius Caesar. Girl in front of me sneezes and farts super loud in the dead quiet. She snefarted. scarletandgray

Better than panty hose...

In HS chem, a girl sat diagonally in front of me. She wiped her nose on her hand and wiped that on her leggings. There was a huge booger smeared on the side of her leg after, and she continued to wear those leggings, unwashed, for days after. RosyFace122

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now! 

Class clown was f**king around in class so the teacher punished him by making stand by himself at the back of the class. 5 minutes in, he asks if he can use the bathroom. The teacher, still being a bit ticked off from the earlier offense, told him "no." He kind of said something along the lines of "I really need to go, I can't hold it anymore, I swear." Teacher just laughed and reveled in her small victory then turned around to write something on the board. When she turned around though, so did he, and unleashed the entirety of his little bladder into this one annoying girl's water bottle. squirrelbeanie

Nobody likes you Mike! 

Saw a kid roll a loose leaf paper into a cone and then proceed to use it for dip spit through the class. At the end it was all soaked through and nasty. He proceeded to push it through the slot in the radiator on the way out of class. F**k you Mike that crap was gross! Willietrailblaze

Nice name drop lol. thisis45

You're not at home pig! 

Take off their sandals and put their nasty feet on top of the chair right next to me. I almost thought about pretending to sneeze on them so they'd learn their lesson. KyutiePie

You got problems kid! 

Collect his belly button lent for several weeks to fill up a small Dixie cup. I asked him what he was doing and it was simply because he wanted to put it on the teachers desk and see what he would say about it. not_jude

Did he end up putting it on the teacher's desk? thisis45

He did! The teacher saw it, picked it up with his bare hands, and then threw it away. Very anticlimactic, but I looked over at the kid and he nodded his head and looked at me like "Yeah... it was all worth it..." So weird. not_jude

Nature is nature... 

A kid in school gave himself an erection and was wearing basketball shorts. He proceeded to go up to the teachers desk and get a tissue. Everyone was laughing their butts off and the teacher really couldn't say anything. Having an erection is not against the rules. Probably one of the best days of high school 😂 ahardcm

Why aren't you homeschooled?

I watched one of my former 6th grade students wipe snot from his nose on the back of his hand and then proceeded to lick said snot off of his hand. judasaurusrex

8 is Enough...

Completely fill a 35mm Fuji film canister (yeah, cameras used film, film came in canisters, it's relevant that's Fuji, because Kodak came in black canisters, Fuji in translucent ones) with saliva, capped it and asked the unknowing guys to pass it over to a friend at the other end of the classroom (high school). When he got it and asked what it was (with signs; the class was ongoing), and all the ones who handled it looked at me with curiosity, I mimed spitting in a cup. 8 guys simultaneously retched. jsveiga

The Prize Awaits... 

Last year (in a class full of 15/16 year olds), a kid in front of me was digging in his nose for gold... like, knuckle deep. He was really going at it. Kept examining his finger and everything. The thing is, he was sitting in the middle of the classroom up in the front where everyone could see. Man had no shame. roppu-kun

Mucus Pucus

I once witnessed a girl get up during class to blow her nose. After she blew her nose, she stared into the tissue and proceeded to eat the snot out of it. I will NEVER forget that.

Not Quite Gross

Catholic school, me and a girl I wanted to be more than friends with (never panned out) ate a couple tabs of acid in lunch Next period was religion, on the second story of a 1.5 story building (the ground floor was dug into the ground so the windows were head high inside, and flush with the dirt outside).

We start peaking, she makes this crazy noise I can still remember quite vividly but can't reproduce and lobs her book bag out the window, stands up and makes the noise again and follows her book bag out the window. Does a killer special-forces knee roll runs to her book bag and SPRINTS straight away from school, down a hill across a parking lot across the track and football fields down a hill out of sight back into sight over a fence and gone.

You Need A Better Collecting Habit

Back in junior year of HS, I sat 3 feet away from this girl in the front of the class. Therefore, the teacher could clearly see my disgusted face watching this girl pick at her acne scabs. She was compiling the scabs onto her desk. The teacher didn't stop her. This happened in an AP English class too.

Bonehead 

In high school this guy sitting next to me was eating chicken wings covered in sweet and sour sauce in class. When he was done eating he took out a pair of nail clippers and started clipping his finger nails into the paper plate full of bones and sauce.

It's true that sometimes we just can't understand what someone's going through until we walk in their shoes.

This can be especially true of physical ailments, particularly the less visible conditions that many would rather assume are figments of the sufferer's imagination.

On the flip side, we can try to be empathetic, but truly, sometimes until you've experienced it yourself, you just can't imagine how bad it is.

Particularly for the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s kids, a lot of businesses and jobs have gone out of style or have been eliminated entirely with advancing technology and societal needs.

While we can all understand how that happened, some of these businesses were arguably gone too soon.

Whether we like it or not, the fact that each and every one of us will expire one day and go off into whatever the next phase of existence is is a harsh reality.

So we might as well make the most of the time we have while we're here and leave our mark.

What kind of legacy would you want to leave for the succeeding generations?

Legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel once famously quipped, "before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory."

Indeed, sometimes it is truly remarkable how one item, be it a wrap, a hat or a brooch, can ruin the whole effect of an outfit.

In some extreme cases, it might also result in making someone's physical appearance seem worse than it is, by inadvertently emphasizing one of their less flattering features.

Then too, there are various accessories or types of clothing which simply never look good on anyone, under any circumstances.
