Things at School That Get on Teachers' Nerves

[@Elvisfan12345]

My homeroom at my school was the same all four years of high school and on the last day of school we painted everyone’s handprint and put them on 1 ceiling tile (we were a small class) and we wrote our names on our handprints and we put Class of 2023. Cause our homeroom teacher had joined our class our sophomore year from a different school so we were his first graduating class. We all loved it! 💙💙💙💙

At 56:30 Bri was referring to an overhead projector. I’m super nostalgic for those and I’m 23. 😊

[@shweird]

You are so right about brown paper not absorbing anything!😂😂😂😂😂

[@melanyxace]

KC and Bri are unhinged lmao

[@amandacaldwell1540]

And THANK GOD for that! 😆💙

[@MrMarohlsclassroom]

Yay, Liz got included into the shenanigans today! The kids catching the blue tailed lizards and keeping them as “pets” was awful. Keep bringing on the great comedians!

[@JillRMcMurray]

As a high school substitute teacher I caught a live mouse in a classroom with some help from the kids. The kids insisted to release it outside so I sent them to the office to let them outside.

[@Kaitlin.D]

Before I entered education, I never realized it was possible to forget you have to pee.

[@pocahontas2158]

That is true. As a preschool teacher, usually I forget.

[@JustUrAveragePotterhead]

One of the annoying kids in my school screamed at the teacher, "Miss, why haven't my b@lls dropped yet?"

[@samantharogers9147]

We call that toilet paper”John Wayne” paper!😂

[@M2161]

I’d love to see episodes with KC Gabe and Bri! I think their chemistry and humor would make a great couple of episodes and make it seem more natural than with random guests like Liz who don’t contribute.

[@cyndidefreese5751]

My high school had no windows. A lot of the schools in the south that were built in the 70's were built without windows to "save electricity" on ac

[@JustUrAveragePotterhead]

Our cafeteria had 2 lines, each line had two options. 1 line had pizza and "grab and go" salads. The other line had something different every day and parfaits.

[@greenteaandhoney5225]

I feel like I’m being treated like a stepchild at my school! My heat and air hasn’t worked in almost two years. 🙄

[@2centsfreelancer]

Them brown paper towels don’t absorb nothing 😭😂😂

[@sherylfisher4992]

Pre-school, kindergarten and 1st grade student's...ahem..."aromas" after they've eaten lunch.

[@joseluisherreralepron9987]

We had a teacher in our work pod who would reheat seafood every day in the workroom microwave...we'd open the door to eat lunch and WHAM...that smell. Our cafeteria was one of those multi-use rooms for eating, meetings, plays, etc. with a stage. You'd open the door and...WHAM. 25 years of cafeteria food smells would come crawling up into our nostrils. Ufff. In our Freshman Academy we referred to it as the place where "the toilet paper won't tear and the paper towels tear too easily." And those brown paper towels were one step above unprocessed wood pulp; you could see the splinters in them. The same Freshman Academy building had all indoor classrooms with no sunlight, no windows...by the end of the day we had to walk outside and stand in the sunlight in silence just to feel normal again and not like creatures of the night. I had girl not show up for a final exam and failed the semester, and I found out later that it was because she had an appointment to get her nails done. Mmm hmmm, sounds good. And assembly days? Might as well have crossed them off the calendar as the students would be thinking only about the assembly and couldn't focus on anything.

[@Rocky_lilRhody]

Not a teacher, but your podcasts are relatable to me...I wake up on Sundays and tune straight to Teachers Off Duty Podcast! Fish at work...I love seafood, but I don't reheat it, out of consideration for my coworkers. I don't even like the smell of microwaved seafood, especially awful combined with all the other odors in the employee lounge. sometimes all the smells just become too much for me. I have sensory issues so that could be it too. But, yeah.. no seafood in the microwave.

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Nice stories and vibe to this one, relatable on so many levels.

[@kathleenbalentine4003]

Hearing what all of you were saying about school toilet paper reminds me of what my grandfather used to call it. John Wayne toilet paper. It is rough, ready, and doesn't take s--- off anyone.

[@mrs.shockleysreadings643]

My old classroom every fall and spring I would get a lone red wasp. They usually hung out near the ceiling so I would say it's a pet and he'd have a name, as long as he stayed by the ceiling. Once he came down, game over and it was then a dead one. Inevitably a new one would show up within a few days.

[@Badhigh22]

Guaca-moldy!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@saundrawimberley2777]

I’m always afraid I’ll get burned when I stick my hand in the copier to get out a paper jam. I understand! And I CANNOT put my hand in a food disposer! I get it! You’re not crazy!

[@amandacaldwell1540]

STAAAP my sons tried to teach me how to each Crawfish correctly!🙈🙉..... NOW LET'S EAT!

[@SophiaHead-rt1jj]

In elementary school, they would cut up sponges and dip them in water and put those into zip locks. They were awful and never worked

[@authenticallyadhdwithcarme2203]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 KC "titos"

[@authenticallyadhdwithcarme2203]

i was at that show unless thats his bit 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@starrycharacter]

I'm extremely clumsy and I also have extreme social anxiety so when I spill anything at school not only do I have to walk across the room to go get paper towels letting everyone know that I accidentally spilled something but also I have to get like a whole roll of paper towels cuz those things don't absorb anything they are a socially anxious persons worst nightmare

[@318rjj]

Lmao this was so funny 😂😂😂😂😂The H words 😭😭😭

[@_.A..J._0708]

When the culinary arts teacher is cooking, burns some food and refuses to clean the stove in their room before cooking something else.

[@amandacaldwell1540]

Dang...... My kiddo has enough school lunches but the WAY he talks about the FOOD STATIONS I need to go back to Highschool....... My 10th grader is Friends with all of the school cooks bc Kids pick on them enough!💯

That’s standard time- not daylight savings😆😆

[@amandacaldwell1540]

Liz please 😅 Did my son have you for a teacher?! Lol.... 😂😂😂

[@robwilkinson8547]

stitches/roach joke is Chris Tucker's, I think.

[@KcMack]

Definitely was! 😂😂😂

[@blugreen123]

I'm confused. Isn't not having any windows a violation of fire codes? The last classroom I worked in as a para was right next to an outside door, so it was either freezing cold or incredibly humid all the time.

[@drnjksn]

@14:26 nah that’s funny as helllll😂💀

[@poorpluto94]

I would have prayed nobody came into the bathroom and ran into the next stall pants down

[@MandyR30]

When I was a kid it was a paper towel in a zip-lock bag frozen. No ice.

[@greenteaandhoney5225]

LMAO. The “I have not” took me out. 😂 Liz is like wtf!

[@lericamims]

I love KC and Bri!

Was is it East Central High School in Tulsa? I read it was designed as a safe nuclear fallout shelter. All of the plumbing is underground & there are no windows. Sounds depressing.

[@hannahgraham9648]

I’m not a teacher but my high school I went to in the winter we had crickets in the school

[@TeacherKellyTag]

39:29 I couldn’t work at a school with no windows. I also don’t understand teachers who have windows and leave them covered.

[@SConArt87]

I had an Algebra teacher who would keep all the windows and door closed to "reduce distractions" while he lectured... 90 minutes of white board writing with ZERO airflow. We all walked out of that classroom high as kites.

[@TeacherKellyTag]

@@SConArt87 wow, I couldn’t do that!

[@iKatieUndead]

On the subject of critters, once when I was a young school child had a 30 minute lockdown and people were freaking in the class and were like taking up chairs and hyping each other up to fight and it was bc a deer wandered into the school and was acting like it was sick. How to tell someone you're from Ohio without telling someone you are from Ohio

your the reason we need more subs

[@demiahsmith270]

lol we had the ziplock ice packs as a kid.

[@bradmartin6625]

In my district of Columbus Public, we did fiestadas and some did hot sauce or ranch

[@Anika-lp4fm]

My high school has no windows besides the cafeteria and the doors.

[@Soeiaelliotclark]

I eat fish for my health, the smell is genuinely terrible 😝. But I also eat insect 🐝🪲🐛🦗 protein, which has no smell, but a lot of people don't eat, in the US.

When I was in high school, someone put a SQUIRREL in one of the microwaves in the lunchroom. Like fur on and everything. It exploded. They ended up just throwing out the microwave.

What the hell? What school did you go to?

[@snakesonaframe2668]

@@pocahontas2158 it was a fairly large one in South Georgia, it was meant to be a “senior prank” they didn’t know who did it so no one got punished, but they would have been expelled.

The amount of kids that want ketchup on nuggets or chicken patty.....is mind blowing to me

Why is that mind blowing? School Chicken Nuggets or Chicken Patties are literally the driest things ever. (Speaking from experience)

[@mykhiddos2]

But it's ketchup.....I would prefer BBQ or mayo

I kinda liked steak finger day in Elementary School

[@AtsumuMiya123]

Question, did they serve Mashed Potatoes with them? Because that's what they did at my school and all the students would dip them in the potatoes.
