In third year we had a bitch of a history teacher. Not only was she a terrible teacher but im pretty sure she was functionally illiterate.
She used to use her finger to read reeeeeaaalllllyyy slowly through the book we had finished in 1st year.

Anyway she found out that i hadn't been doing homework for a few weeks because i was studying for my junior cert (sort of Irish middle of secondary school tests) so she told me to do 4 sets of rules. (each one took about half an hour)

As this was the friday before the first test i responded with 'No'.

She then told me to do 8 sets. I said no again.

I think you know where this is going.

At 64 sets i burst out laughing and walked away.

Didn't get in any trouble for it either.

Another time a cousin and I (aged about 15) went out to go to a party on halloween and we were hungry on the way there. we decided, hey its halloween and promptly knocked on the first door we saw. The woman, expecting us to go away, said, 'well id have to hear a song if i was to give you sweets' .

We launched into the 'build me up buttercup' and sang the whole thing, only stopping when we recieved an ovation from the entire household.
