» Your Weirdest Teacher

Had an english teacher once back when I was doing GCSEs:
He would spend almost entire lessons retelling his adventures in the pub the night before, including how he once managed to trick his friends into going there via subliminal messaging by whispering the word "pub" under his breath every now and then.

Claimed one lesson that our work had not been marked since it was firstly given to someone in the pub, and then forgotten about. I don't think we ever did see the work again.

Whilst reading To Kill a Mocking Bird, we as a class managed to find at least one innuendo on every page. Got as bad as whoever was reading would pause every now and then to wait for the innevitable outbursts of childish giggles. Other teachers would have put a stop to this, but he practically encouraged it.

Let someone in the class give a presentation on their day out in Soho, which came complete with a diagram of a buttplug drawn up on the board.

Set us a story to read where the main characters name was, and I quote, "John Thomas". Needless to say it was impossible to keep a straight face through that.

Amazingly enough we all learnt stuff about English, although how that happened is rather beyond me.

» Toilets

Couple of months ago...
I was happily minding my own business using a cubicle in some public toilets at I can't remember where, when I spotted something shining out of the corner of my eye, so I glanced down to see what it was. Turns out the person in the cubicle next to me was holding a mirror under the space between the two cubicles, utilising the trick that people use to look round corners. Since then I tend to avoid using cubicles that are next to an already occupied one.
