Teacher
At primary school I had an odd teacher who, if you did something wrong, would make you write a letter of apology to him. If it was really bad, you'd have to write several letters of apology.

I was new to the school and didn't really understand the point of this.(still don't really). Anyway, I did something wrong and was told to write five letters of apology.

So, not understanding, I wrote "S O R R Y"

He went batshit while I stood there wondering what the fuck was going on. 'But you said five letters! There are five letters!'

Hah
I like it! That primary school type of bafflement can live with you a long time. I remember a teacher once wrote "See me" at the bottom of a piece of work I'd done. I looked around the classroom and she wasn't in sight, so I announced "No", considered the question answered and the job complete.
