The story about the allergies: That teacher's attitude and idiocy can literally kill children. Not only does she need to be fired and banned from all teaching and child care jobs, but in my opinion, this sort of thing warrants actual jail time at minimum. The fact that she tried to scold and pressure a student who she knew was allergic to nuts to eat something that potentially contained nuts based on nothing but her own ego is horrifying. Many kids will actually eat the food and risk dying over something like that! How absolutely horrendous.
And she should be thankful that OP told her to call his mom instead of eating the 🍬. Imagine the lawsuit, medical bills, and replacement epi pen she would have to pay and likely from her own pocket since I’m sure the school board will nope out of her nonsense
The crazy thing is my experience with allergies is the exact opposite. As an example, I worked washing dishes at a summer camp and they didn't want me to wash the bowls that had peanut butter in them because I was allergic. I had to convince the cooks that I just couldn't *eat* the peanut butter, but it was perfectly safe for me to see, smell, or touch it as long as I didn't touch it with my tongue. Eventually, they conceeded that by age 16 I probably knew what I was allergic to and they let me wash the bowls.
Mars, the company who makes M&Ms, actually has really good peanut control protocols. She would have been fine. But yeah, it's not her choice to make, it's the mom's.
Are people who claim allergies a part of some political or religious movement, because anti vaxxers and anti ab*rtion were either religious or political, so I'm curious if this falls under those levels of stupidity
@@rosieposie1760 Nah, because on the packaging it says something about not putting your full trust into regular m&ms as their still could be cross contamination. So regardless they should be staying away from any company that works with peanuts. I know as I have a peanut allergy myself. Luckily it’s not as severe but my body, and especially my face breaks out in bumps when I eat them. My shellfish allergy is severe though. Someone could be cooking shell fish a whole house away and I still have a reaction.
Story 2: Honestly, if someone tells you they can't eat something, just let it be. Even if OP wasn't allergic, the teacher shouldn't try to force OP to eat the M&Ms
What's crazy to me is that this teacher went out of her way to spend her own money on candy for the entire class for an activity that should have been fun, then she completely ruined the experience.
So basically for the last story, they wanted to point and say "You see these dirty fools, couldn't even take time to dress nice for PROFESSIONAL photos," then have a laugh with whomever they are talking with. So sad people like that exist everywhere. Good on OP!
Story 4: Honestly I found it pretty amusing. He never said that OP and OP's buddy had to look terrible for the photos, so now you have a picture of a floor worker in a nice outfit
@@edan1841 That is usually how it is for places like that. The glorious upper class of office people barely willing to ever interact with the lowly workers. It fosters a very clear them vs mentality and the workers will ofc be hostile towards the office too.
I would have done the exact same thing, but I probably would have worn a professionally laundered work uniform, which I expect would be akin to a company logo'ed boiler suit, and taken it before shift.
I guarantee that one English teacher went to the teacher's lounge during lunch and complained about how the entire class thought they knew better and how they argued with him on how to pronounce "forid", only to be laughed outta the room by all the other teachers/administrators in there
Thing is if he was anywhere else in the world he'd be right. Fore-head is the US English pronunciation, forehead or forid is the English pronunciation and commonly taught
@@JamesDavy2009 I have no idea what pom means and am slightly worried it's a derogatory term, so I'm just going to assume you called him a whiny Pomeranian 🐩 :)
allergy story: this lady watched a kid turn down free M&Ms and for some reason believed it was because the kid was being disobedient? what did that phone call to the mom even sound like on her end? “your child is REFUSING to eat candy!!!!!”
Her reply? Probably somewhere along the lines of "What candy is he refusing? Because if it's M&Ms, he can't have them due to peanut residue on the machines that make them! So if that's the case, give him a pack of Skittles instead of the M&Ms!"
I always don't understand, if you HATE kids or love to berate them for the slightest mistake, why even BE a teacher at all? Is it because they want a job that gives them the slightest amount of authority to bully students? The admins in the first story were incredibly incompetent tbh.
there is a major difference between teaching college, which this teacher used to do, and high school. This teacher never grasped he was no longer in a college setting. The fact that the class went from 26 to 6 should have been enough to make the administration look into his performance. A few students leaving is expected, 8 to 10 and you'd might wonder what was happening, but losing 20 students is a revolt and needed to be addressed.
While there are exceptions, most teachers who seem to hate their students don't, they simply suffer from extreme burnout and stress from being overworked. I don't think this applies to the first story, but it may very well apply to the peanut allergy story.
When I worked in child care one of the scariest things that happened was a kindergartner who had multiple sever allergies especially to peanuts had a peanut butter jelly sandwich in his lunchbox. It wasn’t his sandwich apparently a child next to him didn’t eat their sandwich at lunch and was scared of getting in trouble so they hid it in the lunch box when he wasn’t looking. When we checked his lunch we were confused at first to see a sandwich since he always ate his. We asked him about it and he said he had no idea cause it looked different from the sandwiches his mom would make him. We opened the sandwich away from him and immediately realized it was peanut butter. Thankfully he was a very aware kid who wouldn’t eat things unless he was told by his mom it was safe. We notified his mom and the teacher so that this wouldn’t happen again. From what I can remember the teacher explained that allergies and not to give others your food at lunch.
On the allergy story: I am legit not surprised. So many teachers do not give a flying FUCK- from my experience they usually do about peanuts [since people may react to airborne particles] but even then. Sometimes they don't. My older brother has an egg allergy- life-threatening. School was a god damn nightmare for him, to the point where I was more educated than those teachers on it most of the time, and I'm around four years younger than him. One time a teacher refused to put him at a separate table away from kids with foods that had egg, and when he eventually showed the epipen, she put him outside in a time-out to scold him instead of wiping off one of the tables in there so he could eat. My mom went in- who at the time was an RCMP officer who actively investigated and solved cases- to speak to the principal and get this sorted. The guy no joke said "allergies are like religion, they're a choice". Mom ripped him a new one, put the fear of hell into that man, and as she puts it "went into work mode" and recited the law to him about what would happen if my brother was harmed on their watch. [She admits the actual section title she stated was wrong, but the law itself was correct lol] But that was what it took to take the allergy seriously. Not the possibility of a child dying, but a mother coming in to remind them of legal consequences. The entire staff was terrified of my mom after that. Which, granted, is fair even without that. She's a teddy bear with us, but if you harm anybody or act like an idiot, she will drag your ass over the coals.
It seems like the school board only cared about his shiny credentials as a college teacher. They never once seemed to ask why a college teacher is taking a high school position.
Story 1: I'm a music teacher for elementary school students between 4 and 10 years old (soon to be as young as 2 as we're expanding to preschool this year). I also have a music degree. A big part of my job is to make learning music FUN for the students. If I walked into each of my classes expecting them to know everything that we're learning that day, it would be terrible and leave students frustrated and sad. I've learned how to take my knowledge and turn it into an age-appropriate lesson, and they love it! If that were my music theory class, I would've given them a packet of music questions that covered everything, starting from the most basic questions about notes and symbols, to the more advanced questions about complex chord progressions and modes. Give them a week to answer as many of the questions as they can, and then use the packets as a baseline starting point.
That's because you're treating your students like they're fresh to the course, and giving them age-appropriate activities and challenges. The teacher in the story treated an intro class like an advanced class, and expected them to all be on the level of college students. We need more teachers like you, and less like him, and the teacher in the 2nd story.
8:31 If you hate children, why are you a teacher then? That's like going into the veterinarian field and say you hate dogs. Why even be a teacher in the first place?
Because they need a job and couldn't find anything else. And they believe that yelling, berating and shaming works; that that's how children learn best.
I had a teacher like the first one. She was my freshman biology teacher. She was a retired NUCLEAR ENGINEER and had it in her head that all of us were stupid cause we were kids and "she has a nuclear engineering degree and doesn't actually need this job". School never stepped in when she literally threatened to hit students
@1mol831 my dude, learn to read. No where did I say they are the same. Her job previously was one type of science, she then went to another. One type is arguably more complex than other (nuclear science vs high school level biology just to make it EXTRA clear for you) so presumably the second one was easier. She then constantly used her old job title to belittle others It's literally not hard to understand you're either stupid or trying to make people feel stupid and failing
Could be worse. My HS band teacher was generally well liked and had been there for years but one day he was gone and after a week or so of a sub, was permanently replaced. I should also point out, this dude was a 400 pound plus orca. He was HUGE. So what happened, heart attack or something? Nope. Someone walked in on him getting it on with not one but TWO cheerleaders right in the band room. He was providing drugs and alcohol in exchange for... favors.
Exactly and there are so many people wanting to be teachers, heavens bless them, but positions aren’t available due to crabby horrible teachers who are protected by tenure.
Story 1: That teacher should have been fired on day one. The admins' first priority should be *protecting the students.* Not the teachers. The students. Story 2: The teacher in this story should have been imprisoned for life. Allergies have the right to be accommodated. (Besides that, child haters shouldn't be allowed to be hired as teachers in the first place!)
Story 1: I had a math teacher like that in high school (she was teaching us like we were college students). She ALWAYS failed her classes, was also sexist. During the study week for exams, she gave us the actual exam instead of the practice sheet we were supposed to use. I got into an argument with her, and when she told me to the office, I told her to drop dead and that I'd rather be road kill than be in a class where the teacher ALWAYS fails her classes. I got applauded on my way out and hung out in one of the stairways until next period. Had to repeat half a semester thanks to her. She stopped teaching after I graduated
*Last Story:* Today I learned that some workplaces keep up the school picture day tradition. I'm now remembering that time my older brother had to do a retake one year in elementary school because the photographer caught him in _mid-blink._ This happened before digital photography was commonplace.
The allergy story reminded me of my own first grade teacher, who hated me because i’m autistic (undiagnosed at the time). She screamed at me for stimming, sent me to the principals office for “giving her sass” (again, autism, i didn’t understand why my tone upset her), and even called my parents on me for things that i didn’t realize were bad in any way. I still don’t understand to this day why this woman held so much hatred for me. I did nothing wrong, unless being an undiagnosed autistic six-year-old is a crime.
I have high-functioning Autism, and even _I_ am prone to stuttering when under even a small amount of pressure to answer something. My brother also has Autism that's a bit lower on the spectrum than me, and he stutters quite a bit more than me, and I don't call him stupid when he does. Why don't people get that stuttering does _not_ equal stupidity? We're not stupid, we're just socially awkward and often have a hard time processing incoming information.
I’m also high functioning autistic and I get this SO well. It’s honestly quite irritating when people do this. That’s why I adore people who are patient with my disability.
It's likely that she felt disrespected. I have a hard time making eye contact with those I don't know well, and it's impossible to establish eye contact in confrontational settings. I had a boss like that, that openly accused me of ignoring her, as she yelled at me when I didn't look at her.
Allergy Story: I mean...this is literally WHY they put "made in a facility that processes nuts" on labels now! Even if they don't contain nuts, the equipment is used to process them. The oil from the nuts is still on the mixers and the blades. They can't just go through and clean them every batch, especially since it's a factory. Even back in time, that was fairly common knowledge.
You'd think. I was at a coffee shop for a month (open for two weeks) and i consistently complained about how we don't follow our OWN GUIDELINES about the cleaning and using of peanut butter. My boss finally said "its on the sign, they should know better than to come here. Like yikes.
@@tibbynibby This is doubly true for candy factories, like I mentioned. They're usually running mixers and cutting machines nonstop throughout the workday. They're not going to stop mid-process just to clean them (iirc, that's usually an after-hours or end of day thing). People like to fantasize about it being like Willy Wonka, but it's actually just a big production line. (I've toured a few candy factories before, and that's something they point out. "Less like Willy Wonka, more like Ford Motors!" one tour guide said. :P)
@@geekgirl616 they'd probably get out of it honestly. They've been around at least 15 years (might be 20 idk/idc 🤣). They've definitely gotten in trouble before but got out of it for sure (speculation lol)
Story 2: I have a similar story. When I was 7 years old, me and my twin sister was to the same class. This was slightly unusual in our area, since the schools had decided that twins "developed better apart" and almost all other twins in the city was split in diffrent classes. My mom said "heck no" to that. Me and my sister was inseperable and she was super shy on her own as a kid. As an adult she has a super extroverted job which she's incredibly skilled at. Anyways... the teacher decided that I, who was quite extroverted and kind, was somehow responsible for playing with the "odd" kids. You know, the ones who couldn't really read the room and the other kids avoided. I was a friendly kid and had absolutely no problems with this. Until the teacher one day during recess took me aside, into a small meeting room in the school. The couceler was also there and these both grown women sat me ( a 7 year old kid) down and told me I wasn't allowed to play with my sister at school anymore. I was chocked, and angry and went silent during their long rant on how this would be good for the odd kids. And I asked "what about my sister?" and they just shrugged. I persisted "who's she supposed to play with?" and they got really angry with me, not answearing my question. Suddenly, the councelor got up from her seat and with real cruella-like smile put her hand on the phone on her desk. Smugly she said "If you don't listen, I'll have to call your mother!" I just smiled. She called. And when I could hear my mom answearing the phone I just rose from my seat and walked out to play the rest of recess with my sister. That teacher never talked to me unless she absolutely had to after that.
Both "For-head" and fo-red" are valid pronunciations of "forehead", but I have to presume it is a localisation issue. The Aussie way of saying "territory" is "terra-tree" while "terra-tory" is American.
First story: My high school Chem teacher was exactly the same. He was PhD who also taught at a nearby Ivy league university. We were a special admission high school so yes, most students were above average in most areas. That said, none of us knew anything about chemistry. He would routinely start sentences with 'well, as we all know..." We'd point out to him that we were high school students taking chem for the FIRST TIME. So no, we didn't 'all' know much of anything. 😅 We complained to the administration. Nothing. They were SO proud of having this accomplished chem teacher, even if he sucked at actually teaching. First marking period rolls around and almost no one got better than a C. He couldn't understand why parents were ready to string him up! 🤣🤣 He also didn't last long.
@@bigjalapeno7061 It was ridiculous, just like the situation in the story. If you didn't have the ability to learn chemistry from the text book, you were gonna struggle. Mind you, this was back in the 1980s so no online programs to help with basic course work. And we were a very small school (under 400 students total) so no other chemistry teacher on staff.
When I took Chem (a required class for 11th grade at my school, at least back then), we had this strict A-hole. No one liked this guy, even other teachers. I got good grades, but he stressed me OUT working my butt off. Halfway through the year, we got a Student Teacher (getting her time in for certification). She was AMAZING. The entire class went up a grade and a half. Students were happy (relatively speaking) to attend her class. When I had the original Chem teacher, I talked about it with one of my coaches (early 20's at the time, went to our school). He had that same teacher. He laughed and said he once took his homework to his Grandfather; we have a Community College nearby and his father was the Chemistry Professor there. His Grandfather was shocked and stated, "I DON'T EVEN TEACH THIS TO MY SECOND YEAR CHEM STUDENTS!" Anyway, we never got justice on that Teacher, though someone did get a bit of revenge. Someone TPed his house. Since he was hated by everyone, no one is certain who did it.
@@lorilancaster5917Absolutely. The ARE the business. You can tell just from looking that they work for a living. You can't tell that from looking at me.
I have my own allergy story! I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners. I'm also fat and always have been, so people think I'm lying about it based solely on my weight. Now like many a person with religious trauma, I was forced to go to church every Sunday which meant enduring Sunday school. One rainy California day the Sunday school teachers brought us hot chocolate. I asked if it was made with NutraSweet. They said yes and I informed them I was allergic. They proceeded to call me a liar, said no one could be allergic to NutraSweet, called me wasteful and a dirty sinner, etc. It went on so long that the hot chocolate was luke warm by the time I finally glupped it down to get them to stop bullying me. My parents were SO ANGRY when they had to take me to the ER and the teacher realized I was not a dirty little sinner.
Can confirm the mentality of the last story. It was always funny to see fresh out of college managers try to tell people that have been doing the job longer than they’ve been alive how to do their job.
As someone with a peanut allergy, I have never had a problem with regular M&Ms BUT I’ve also seen someone with an allergy so bad that they had a reaction from simply entering the same room as what they’re allergic to. I would’ve listened to that student.
I vividly recall being called up to the blackboard in Grade 3 at my Catholic primary school by Sister Leon and ordered to draw a B sharp. Given I'd never read, let alone learned music, I had NO idea what she was on about. After being shrieked at for my ignorance (along with several other kids), she finally asked the class how many of us paid attention in our music lessons. Given we were mostly poor farm kids, only two of the girls in the room were lucky enough to be learning music. She launched into a rant about how we should ALL be getting private tutoring, our parents were neglecting us, blah, blah, blah. That ended up being our one & only music class.
@@Salicat99There technically is such a thing as B# depending on how the music is written (in the same places as double sharps and double flats), but for all intents and purposes, it really is just C and I find it unnecessary as a musician.
@@evarinagarmguardian113 Enharmonic equivalence at its finest. B# does get written as such when the key sharpens C by default and a C-natural comes up. Some people like to keep the accidentals consistent with the key signature.
I had a professor in college who acted like this. He was from Ireland and claimed our school system was garbage and no one could have a high score in his class. I passed with a D. There were only two other people in the class who passed. He was an adjunct. After a second summer semester where people paid for a class they had no chance to complete, he got let go.
Story 2: I'm glad OP didn't press their lock just to prove a teacher wrong. I've read so many stories of kids and teens risking their own well-being to spite someone who thinks their smarter than Einstein. Allergies, asthma, disabilities, injuries, all these are not taken as seriously as thay should, because playing with allergies and the like, could put in the hospital or the morgue, all because somebody wants to have their "AHA I knew it" moment
On the story of allergies. M&Ms are one of the few things that you CAN eat. The company have very strict testing and separation protocols to keep the M&M brands that don't have peanuts from being contaminated. If they are even in the same building, different lines have different ventilation systems, different entrance doors, different employees.
interesting. I was going to guess that they still have warnings just to be extra safe, but found out that those warnings are for milk and soy. I also learned that they've had peanuts seperate since 1997, which was a good call since peanut allergies were on the rise at that time
As someone who is becoming a music teacher currently getting a music major. No people do not expect students to write symphonies. Also it would make me joyful as a student if one person was excited about music because there wasn’t a lot of excitement at mine.
For those who don't know, "fo-red" is a valid pronunciation of forehead. Not sure if it's a British vs American thing or an old vs young thing, but I remember hearing it pronounced that way often back in the day
For RSlash, this subreddit really should be his “day off” subreddit, because I’ve heard all of these stories on other channels 2-3 weeks ago, and I enjoy the stories from the other subreddits he covers anyways. So, I hope he’s having a good day off!
Everytime i hear a story about someone not believing food allergies, I'm reminded of all the stories my sister told me about people not believing her food allergy. She's allergic to red 40, the food coloring dye. She had to argue with one teacher until it came in contact with her skin and caused a rash in less than five minutes. Growing up, i got used to skimming ingredients to make sure she could have anything red, pink, or orange.
My kindergarten teacher STILL terrifies me!! She honestly looked like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda and was just as intimidating! My dad saved me from her a few times but I was so happy to be out of her class!!
I used to work at an international school in Armenia. One time, a British experienced PE teacher took some students (Armenians, Russians, Iranians mostly) to Georgia (ie another country) for a tournament. He didn't even get permission slips from parents or a copy of anyone's passport. Some teachers have no common sense. He's lucky that it was discovered by someone the day before so he wouldn't be arrested for child trafficking.
I had a Choir Teacher for 8th Grade. It was her first actual teaching job (not student teaching). She expected kids to stand absolutely still for singing. I enjoyed the music and would move and sway along to it. So she HATED me. She would scold me for not staying still. At one point, we were at a competition. I was enjoying the music and moved along to it. The Teacher was FURIOUS but couldn't make a scene in front of the judges and parents. Well the judge came up and worked with us, had us try a few things, and give us some advice. Well, he singled me out. "You see this child? He clearly enjoys singing and THAT is what we love to see. We need more people that enjoy the music..." (Paraphrased because it has been a few decades). Oh boy did she fume after that. In the end, she lasted only that year and quit. She joined the post office away from my home town (weird but whatever). I saw her again about 6 years later, but I didn't go up to her. No reason to ruin my day with a potentially bad attitude person
Music Teacher Story: Had a weird music teacher in middle school. I was supposed to be in an intermediate band class but they put me in marching band. Which wasn't that big of an issue because I was percussion (mainly drums). This teacher came from some kind of orchestra background and was an asshole to everyone. If he was getting fed up with the day he would go on about respecting him and bring up how he can handle whatever we throw at him. He commonly mentioned that his daughter got mad and threw a bike at him that he caught in midair and the fact that he takes enough insulin to kill an elephant. He particularly didn't like how I played drums because he wants me to drown everyone else out. It also hurt my ears standing about 3 feet back from the drums with how loud he demonstrated playing. There is no revenge or anything to this story, just an asshole music teacher that also seems to be disconnected from his role.
Eh, IDK. She's definitely not suited to be a teacher, but she's not necessarily a criminal. Depending on when the story took place, the teacher might not have known that not containing nuts doesn't mean that cross-contamination can't happen. I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and a lot of people didn't really understand things like that all too well back then. We benefit a great deal from hindsight, in many situations, that the people involved likely weren't privy to. I'd say, at worst, she's likely just ignorant and stubborn, which is a bad combination. Edit: I think I was talking about the wrong story. Need. More. Coffee.🤦♂️💀
Story 2: this is why I've always asked if they were allergic to nuts before opening anything containing nuts. Story 3: this is why you listen to the I.T. guy.
Story4: I can’t imagine being so nasty. How could you get angry that those “lowly floor people” aren’t stupid and beat you at your own disgusting game? What was even the point of that? I can’t imagine being so insecure and arrogant that you’d hire a professional photographer to take pictures to prove how superior you think you are over your employees. With that kind of management I’m not surprised the place closed down.
Story 2: it's funny how a teacher is confident that his mom would yell at him for not eating something that she knew full well about her son's allergies. At your mom wipe that smug look out of her face when your mom lectured her for trying to make her send you to the hospital. And what's funny is that now she's mad that a 7 year old student proofs her wrong and doesn't want to admit that op was right about not eating something that he's allergic to.
It's because she thought the kid was making it up to be disobedient, and that the mother would yell at her son for not listening to his teacher, who clearly knew better about his allergies than he did.
We had an freshman English professor at my college nicknamed El Diablo because he didn't believe anyone deserved an A on assignments no matter what. So the best you could ever get was a 89.9%. most of the class failed because his grading was so strict
Fourth story: That company more than having a wall of shame they had a wall of shaming. The fact that the boss was mad that he didn't got the pictures he expected means he does that just to put down those who he thought were beneeth him.
One of the things you could do for this is to obtain a copyright for your own likeness then tell your company that they don't have a right to use it. You will likely be ignored until your photo is actually up, at which point you can force them into a position of either paying you a licensing fee or taking down the material which may result in huge amounts of money and compliance.
My husband and his coworkers would totally do that. The big wigs just don't understand that people on the floor are making their money and aren't monkeys
I remember there’s a comment from the OP of first story were they mention the teacher made them pay for their own meals. I know it’d likely be normal but this guy not only mistreated everyone, acted like they should be forced to go despite making it a choice & not only made them drive themselves but then he made them pay when the least he could do for his mistreatment was pay even if her were to make them get something cheap.
Yeah, it's supposed to be the party, the host is usually expected to pay for everything. I've never had a pizza party at school or work where I had to pay for the pizza.
I had a chill English teacher in my senor year in high school. He was universally liked by everyone. When it came to reading Shakespeare he knew a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds would be bored so he made it fun. Include movie version or audio plays. A lot of classes were discuss book, what we need to do, occasional project and a movie related to what we were doing. When he had a medical emergency where he missed at least a month, he told our substitute to give assignments, projects, do tests, etc and show certain movies. Again everyone liked him so it was allowed He was welcomed back big time when he returned. He retired the same year I graduated so was lucky to have him
The "are you sure" still stands to this day. Even after that while giving the warning, the person still wants it done. Then again, they don't really listen anyway since they believe it is "right." Just until the downfall lol.
I experienced the same thing in 1st grade. I used to get nose bleeds and had to physically stop my teacher holding my head back. when it's your own quirk you are the expert. Too many times in my life I have been told bullshit from so called "teachers"
Class" *"intro to"* Teacher: "really!? I thought this was advanced class!?" Sounds like a you problem, mate, get a better teaching style and learn the curriculum
My highschool band instructor/marching band instructor ripped the wires out for the intercom because he didn't like being interrupted. Twice. He also threw things at students, stands, instruments, chairs. He did eventually get fired, only to be replaced by a PDFile and end up rehired.
Story one: I had a teacher my sophomore year of high school. It was maybe her second year in the school district (older lady that had just moved). She taught our grade level English class like it was an AP class, and mind you this class had several students who were taking it their junior year due to failing it the previous year and several English learners. I was one of the few that was strong enough to do good and I regularly tutored other students to help them at least pass with a C in the class. She was also incredibly racist (which to make worse, I was one of two white students in her class of 30). The year after she taught the dual enrollment English class. The year after (my senior year) she was gone and the teacher I had my junior year for English became my English teacher senior year for dual enrollment. I don't know if anyone ever complained about her, I know I didn't as I couldn't afford for my grade to take a hit if she retaliated, but she was absolutely awful.
Oh no, this guy's way worse than Slughorn. Slughorn was actually a decent guy. This teacher in story 1 seems like a full-of-himself grandiose narcissist.
Man, these all annoyed me write a lot. That last story though: can management even do that?!?!? Force the staff to take a photo who's only purpose is to shame said staff member, and then they try to force the poorer employees to look ragged? WTactualF?!?!?!?! The day I was forced to get my photo taken, would have likely been my last working for those inferiority complex losers!
This is the only possible reason I can possibly think of as to why some people feel the need to constantly prove that food allergies don't exist... My dad is, as far as I know, the only person alive who hates cheese. So whenever he would go out to a restaurant, he would always request that cheese be left off of any item on the menu he would order that had it. However, he'd always get it on the item. I don't think it was intentional...I just think the concept that someone would dislike cheese is so foreign to people that it doesn't stick in their mind. He has a hard time even getting plain hamburgers nowadays because everyone is expected to want a cheeseburger. So he eventually started telling waiters that he was allergic to cheese. That was the only way they'd be guaranteed to leave it off of his meal. Now, me and my whole family know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's just telling a lie whenever he says he's allergic, and we've known that for years. However, we also know he doesn't care about cheese when he can't tell that it's in it. So...as bad as this is, I'll admit it...we did used to occasionally sneak cheese into things and he'd eat it without complaint about the food. (On a side note, he has finally warmed up to cheese a little in his old age.) Now, I've had multiple food allergies during my life and my mom also had food allergies growing up. In particular, she was allergic to cocoa nibs; which meant the only chocolate she could eat growing up was white chocolate. However, she grew out of her own food allergies and now she likes the darkest chocolate she can find. I myself grew out of my allergy to eggs. But the point is we had genuine food allergies, and so I do wonder if we only had exposure to my dad if we'd be as clueless as these people and think allergies are an excuse to get out of food you hate. Well...that or maybe these clueless people also think "maybe they grew out of their allergies", which is also a crappy way to go. I was allergic to fish at an early age and as I got older I only got MORE allergic to fish.
My teacher kicked me out of class after I insisted first class was more expensive than business class. What really said him off is when I say, "that's why they call it FIRST class because it is the most expensive and best service." 😂😂
story 1: you learn chords and music symbols in highschool? damn, we start with that at 4th grade. that is the fourth year of having a musical education, mandatory, in elementary school. that is when everyone starts to play an instrument or sing. before that we just learn and listen to various music. highschool? damn, i knew us had no math, geography, history and science education but looks like no arts too...
Bit rude, rSlash… a 7-year-old has less knowledge and life experience than an adult, but their ability to reason is limited only by their lack of acquired knowledge. A LOT of them have better sense and intelligence than many adults, because intelligence is a spectrum in any generation. The teacher’s real problem, one shared by too many adults, is that they get on some kind of power trip with kids where they never want to hear the word “no” and give kids zero credit for having brains. We try and teach kids to make informed choices, ask questions, and that they have bodily autonomy, and they have to deal with teachers who consider each of these things disrespectful. Shoot, school kids don’t even get to pee when they need to without getting permission.
Story 1 I had an art teacher in highschool just like that. She seemed to think we were college level when in reality we were only in her class because core forced us too. Her grading was so strict the highest grade anyone got was a C. The following year I was in a different class across the hall from hers and she was constantly screaming at everyone. 2 months into the semester and everyone dropped out of her class. Somehow she still teaches there as far as I know

Funny enough, some office workers requested us to have them retouched with photoshop "a bit" (more), lol.
as a manager anything health related i take VERY seriously. even if my boss hates that they can't actually fire me for that without repercussions. someone has a dairy alergy but can exist in the room with it and touch products with trace amounts? alright. stay on fries i'll have someone else take care of the specialty fries and nuggets (some of which literally have a dairy product put on them) seizures? (incredibly common in fast food appearently, any ideas post below) i will take what measures i can to not induce a seizure and will have an eye on you so if you do drop down i'll be there in a few seconds. it's appalling at the number of managers i've worked with/for that don't understand some simple fundamentals about having employees with health considerations. one dude even mistakened a grand mal seizure as a panic attack TWICE. i layed into that guy as a fellow manager about that. another thinks that employee just fakes it, bruh. good god i am not paid enough for this shit.
Oh, the allergy... I thought my allergy to shellfish wasn't bad at all, until it caught up with me. It took a second ER trip and epi-pens to drive it into my tiny brain I can never enjoy those foods again. I didn't used to have an allergy to anything. I love shrimp, but now I am afraid to eat at anyplace that serves shrimp... Clams, nope. Lobster, never again. There are lots of ways I would prefer to die than suffocation! I'm not going to ask every place I eat to sterilize their kitchen just for me. My friends are aware of this. If we go out, it's someplace without any shellfish on the menu, or one of us cooks. I don't even ask them for this, they are just good people. For those who think allergies are "fake", I hope you develop 2 for every person you know with allergies. Cruel, but I am sick of being told I just want attention, when I HATE being in the ER for hours! They are so busy... They will save you, then leave you on a terrible bed-like object for hours while they run tests and treat others. Miserable, uncomfortable, and when you need to pee... I needed 4 stitches in about 2 minutes, but I was there for hours. I didn't even have a book! I had a seizure and I don't even remember letting the paramedics take me. I have no idea how they got past the chain on the door... Yea, I must have unlatched it, but I have no memory of it. There was blood all over my floor from a tiny cut on my head (head wounds bleed a LOT if you don't already know). I had ordered delivery food that night, and maybe missed something (but I haven't found what yet) that should have been a warning.
i will never understand the kind of power trip office workers have _especially_ when the only reason they get to have any work to do (you know, to get paid for?) is directly dependent on the floor workers doing their job.
that sounds like my highschool band teacher except he never taught university just highschool. Hes still band director despite how everyone and their mom complained
You’d think when a teacher uses the classic “I’ll call your mom” threat if the kid goes “call her” you should rethink the situation.

The story about the allergies: That teacher's attitude and idiocy can literally kill children. Not only does she need to be fired and banned from all teaching and child care jobs, but in my opinion, this sort of thing warrants actual jail time at minimum. The fact that she tried to scold and pressure a student who she knew was allergic to nuts to eat something that potentially contained nuts based on nothing but her own ego is horrifying. Many kids will actually eat the food and risk dying over something like that! How absolutely horrendous.
And she should be thankful that OP told her to call his mom instead of eating the 🍬. Imagine the lawsuit, medical bills, and replacement epi pen she would have to pay and likely from her own pocket since I’m sure the school board will nope out of her nonsense
The crazy thing is my experience with allergies is the exact opposite. As an example, I worked washing dishes at a summer camp and they didn't want me to wash the bowls that had peanut butter in them because I was allergic. I had to convince the cooks that I just couldn't *eat* the peanut butter, but it was perfectly safe for me to see, smell, or touch it as long as I didn't touch it with my tongue. Eventually, they conceeded that by age 16 I probably knew what I was allergic to and they let me wash the bowls.
Mars, the company who makes M&Ms, actually has really good peanut control protocols. She would have been fine. But yeah, it's not her choice to make, it's the mom's.
Are people who claim allergies a part of some political or religious movement, because anti vaxxers and anti ab*rtion were either religious or political, so I'm curious if this falls under those levels of stupidity
@@rosieposie1760 Nah, because on the packaging it says something about not putting your full trust into regular m&ms as their still could be cross contamination. So regardless they should be staying away from any company that works with peanuts. I know as I have a peanut allergy myself. Luckily it’s not as severe but my body, and especially my face breaks out in bumps when I eat them. My shellfish allergy is severe though. Someone could be cooking shell fish a whole house away and I still have a reaction.
Story 2: Honestly, if someone tells you they can't eat something, just let it be. Even if OP wasn't allergic, the teacher shouldn't try to force OP to eat the M&Ms
And she already had an alternative which made it worse. I kept thinking she was one of those people who think allergies are psychosomatic
@lorilancaster5917 or she was saving those skittles for herself later.
What's crazy to me is that this teacher went out of her way to spend her own money on candy for the entire class for an activity that should have been fun, then she completely ruined the experience.
"Okay kids, today we are gonna play russian roulett. No need to worry, you MIGHT not die."
You've heard of drinking the Kool-Aid. Now get ready for eating the M&Ms
If a child is denying candy, they’re probably telling the truth
And if they are okay with the teacher calling their parent, they’re probably telling the truth and you’re about to get a lesson
So basically for the last story, they wanted to point and say "You see these dirty fools, couldn't even take time to dress nice for PROFESSIONAL photos," then have a laugh with whomever they are talking with. So sad people like that exist everywhere. Good on OP!

I guarantee that one English teacher went to the teacher's lounge during lunch and complained about how the entire class thought they knew better and how they argued with him on how to pronounce "forid", only to be laughed outta the room by all the other teachers/administrators in there

I always don't understand, if you HATE kids or love to berate them for the slightest mistake, why even BE a teacher at all? Is it because they want a job that gives them the slightest amount of authority to bully students? The admins in the first story were incredibly incompetent tbh.
Often, YES.
there is a major difference between teaching college, which this teacher used to do, and high school. This teacher never grasped he was no longer in a college setting. The fact that the class went from 26 to 6 should have been enough to make the administration look into his performance. A few students leaving is expected, 8 to 10 and you'd might wonder what was happening, but losing 20 students is a revolt and needed to be addressed.
@@dracko158 I agree. This is why some people are just not meant to be teachers!
@@clarky23 I agree!
While there are exceptions, most teachers who seem to hate their students don't, they simply suffer from extreme burnout and stress from being overworked. I don't think this applies to the first story, but it may very well apply to the peanut allergy story.
When I worked in child care one of the scariest things that happened was a kindergartner who had multiple sever allergies especially to peanuts had a peanut butter jelly sandwich in his lunchbox. It wasn’t his sandwich apparently a child next to him didn’t eat their sandwich at lunch and was scared of getting in trouble so they hid it in the lunch box when he wasn’t looking. When we checked his lunch we were confused at first to see a sandwich since he always ate his. We asked him about it and he said he had no idea cause it looked different from the sandwiches his mom would make him. We opened the sandwich away from him and immediately realized it was peanut butter. Thankfully he was a very aware kid who wouldn’t eat things unless he was told by his mom it was safe. We notified his mom and the teacher so that this wouldn’t happen again. From what I can remember the teacher explained that allergies and not to give others your food at lunch.
On the allergy story: I am legit not surprised. So many teachers do not give a flying FUCK- from my experience they usually do about peanuts [since people may react to airborne particles] but even then. Sometimes they don't.
My older brother has an egg allergy- life-threatening. School was a god damn nightmare for him, to the point where I was more educated than those teachers on it most of the time, and I'm around four years younger than him. One time a teacher refused to put him at a separate table away from kids with foods that had egg, and when he eventually showed the epipen, she put him outside in a time-out to scold him instead of wiping off one of the tables in there so he could eat.
My mom went in- who at the time was an RCMP officer who actively investigated and solved cases- to speak to the principal and get this sorted. The guy no joke said "allergies are like religion, they're a choice". Mom ripped him a new one, put the fear of hell into that man, and as she puts it "went into work mode" and recited the law to him about what would happen if my brother was harmed on their watch. [She admits the actual section title she stated was wrong, but the law itself was correct lol]
But that was what it took to take the allergy seriously. Not the possibility of a child dying, but a mother coming in to remind them of legal consequences. The entire staff was terrified of my mom after that. Which, granted, is fair even without that. She's a teddy bear with us, but if you harm anybody or act like an idiot, she will drag your ass over the coals.
*"He was qualified for the job, but had zero people skills and was extremely abrasive towards students."*
i.e., he was not qualified for the job.
It seems like the school board only cared about his shiny credentials as a college teacher. They never once seemed to ask why a college teacher is taking a high school position.
Exactly...he had the knowledge but NOTHING ELSE. Completely unqualified
Story 1:
I'm a music teacher for elementary school students between 4 and 10 years old (soon to be as young as 2 as we're expanding to preschool this year). I also have a music degree. A big part of my job is to make learning music FUN for the students. If I walked into each of my classes expecting them to know everything that we're learning that day, it would be terrible and leave students frustrated and sad. I've learned how to take my knowledge and turn it into an age-appropriate lesson, and they love it!
If that were my music theory class, I would've given them a packet of music questions that covered everything, starting from the most basic questions about notes and symbols, to the more advanced questions about complex chord progressions and modes. Give them a week to answer as many of the questions as they can, and then use the packets as a baseline starting point.
That's because you're treating your students like they're fresh to the course, and giving them age-appropriate activities and challenges. The teacher in the story treated an intro class like an advanced class, and expected them to all be on the level of college students. We need more teachers like you, and less like him, and the teacher in the 2nd story.
8:31 If you hate children, why are you a teacher then? That's like going into the veterinarian field and say you hate dogs. Why even be a teacher in the first place?
Because they need a job and couldn't find anything else. And they believe that yelling, berating and shaming works; that that's how children learn best.

So true!
Could be worse. My HS band teacher was generally well liked and had been there for years but one day he was gone and after a week or so of a sub, was permanently replaced. I should also point out, this dude was a 400 pound plus orca. He was HUGE. So what happened, heart attack or something? Nope. Someone walked in on him getting it on with not one but TWO cheerleaders right in the band room. He was providing drugs and alcohol in exchange for... favors.
Exactly and there are so many people wanting to be teachers, heavens bless them, but positions aren’t available due to crabby horrible teachers who are protected by tenure.

Story 2: The teacher in this story should have been imprisoned for life. Allergies have the right to be accommodated. (Besides that, child haters shouldn't be allowed to be hired as teachers in the first place!)
The word of the day is: TENURE.
Story 1: I had a math teacher like that in high school (she was teaching us like we were college students). She ALWAYS failed her classes, was also sexist. During the study week for exams, she gave us the actual exam instead of the practice sheet we were supposed to use. I got into an argument with her, and when she told me to the office, I told her to drop dead and that I'd rather be road kill than be in a class where the teacher ALWAYS fails her classes. I got applauded on my way out and hung out in one of the stairways until next period. Had to repeat half a semester thanks to her. She stopped teaching after I graduated

The allergy story reminded me of my own first grade teacher, who hated me because i’m autistic (undiagnosed at the time). She screamed at me for stimming, sent me to the principals office for “giving her sass” (again, autism, i didn’t understand why my tone upset her), and even called my parents on me for things that i didn’t realize were bad in any way.
I still don’t understand to this day why this woman held so much hatred for me. I did nothing wrong, unless being an undiagnosed autistic six-year-old is a crime.
Unless your stimming is causing you to hit another kid (probably due to proximity), she shouldn’t care, sounds like an ableist ass of a teacher
I have high-functioning Autism, and even _I_ am prone to stuttering when under even a small amount of pressure to answer something. My brother also has Autism that's a bit lower on the spectrum than me, and he stutters quite a bit more than me, and I don't call him stupid when he does. Why don't people get that stuttering does _not_ equal stupidity? We're not stupid, we're just socially awkward and often have a hard time processing incoming information.
I’m also high functioning autistic and I get this SO well. It’s honestly quite irritating when people do this. That’s why I adore people who are patient with my disability.
It's likely that she felt disrespected. I have a hard time making eye contact with those I don't know well, and it's impossible to establish eye contact in confrontational settings. I had a boss like that, that openly accused me of ignoring her, as she yelled at me when I didn't look at her.
Damn she sounds terrible
Allergy Story: I mean...this is literally WHY they put "made in a facility that processes nuts" on labels now! Even if they don't contain nuts, the equipment is used to process them. The oil from the nuts is still on the mixers and the blades. They can't just go through and clean them every batch, especially since it's a factory. Even back in time, that was fairly common knowledge.
You'd think. I was at a coffee shop for a month (open for two weeks) and i consistently complained about how we don't follow our OWN GUIDELINES about the cleaning and using of peanut butter.
My boss finally said "its on the sign, they should know better than to come here.

People like to fantasize about it being like Willy Wonka, but it's actually just a big production line. (I've toured a few candy factories before, and that's something they point out.

Story 2: I have a similar story. When I was 7 years old, me and my twin sister was to the same class. This was slightly unusual in our area, since the schools had decided that twins "developed better apart" and almost all other twins in the city was split in diffrent classes. My mom said "heck no" to that. Me and my sister was inseperable and she was super shy on her own as a kid. As an adult she has a super extroverted job which she's incredibly skilled at. Anyways... the teacher decided that I, who was quite extroverted and kind, was somehow responsible for playing with the "odd" kids. You know, the ones who couldn't really read the room and the other kids avoided. I was a friendly kid and had absolutely no problems with this. Until the teacher one day during recess took me aside, into a small meeting room in the school. The couceler was also there and these both grown women sat me ( a 7 year old kid) down and told me I wasn't allowed to play with my sister at school anymore. I was chocked, and angry and went silent during their long rant on how this would be good for the odd kids. And I asked "what about my sister?" and they just shrugged. I persisted "who's she supposed to play with?" and they got really angry with me, not answearing my question. Suddenly, the councelor got up from her seat and with real cruella-like smile put her hand on the phone on her desk. Smugly she said "If you don't listen, I'll have to call your mother!"
I just smiled. She called. And when I could hear my mom answearing the phone I just rose from my seat and walked out to play the rest of recess with my sister. That teacher never talked to me unless she absolutely had to after that.
What's with the school deciding who should play with who? What is this shit?
Both "For-head" and fo-red" are valid pronunciations of "forehead", but I have to presume it is a localisation issue. The Aussie way of saying "territory" is "terra-tree" while "terra-tory" is American.

First story: My high school Chem teacher was exactly the same. He was PhD who also taught at a nearby Ivy league university. We were a special admission high school so yes, most students were above average in most areas. That said, none of us knew anything about chemistry. He would routinely start sentences with 'well, as we all know..." We'd point out to him that we were high school students taking chem for the FIRST TIME. So no, we didn't 'all' know much of anything. 😅 We complained to the administration. Nothing. They were SO proud of having this accomplished chem teacher, even if he sucked at actually teaching. First marking period rolls around and almost no one got better than a C. He couldn't understand why parents were ready to string him up! 🤣🤣 He also didn't last long.
Well that's dumb
@@bigjalapeno7061 It was ridiculous, just like the situation in the story. If you didn't have the ability to learn chemistry from the text book, you were gonna struggle. Mind you, this was back in the 1980s so no online programs to help with basic course work. And we were a very small school (under 400 students total) so no other chemistry teacher on staff.
When I took Chem (a required class for 11th grade at my school, at least back then), we had this strict A-hole. No one liked this guy, even other teachers. I got good grades, but he stressed me OUT working my butt off. Halfway through the year, we got a Student Teacher (getting her time in for certification). She was AMAZING. The entire class went up a grade and a half. Students were happy (relatively speaking) to attend her class.
When I had the original Chem teacher, I talked about it with one of my coaches (early 20's at the time, went to our school). He had that same teacher. He laughed and said he once took his homework to his Grandfather; we have a Community College nearby and his father was the Chemistry Professor there. His Grandfather was shocked and stated, "I DON'T EVEN TEACH THIS TO MY SECOND YEAR CHEM STUDENTS!" Anyway, we never got justice on that Teacher, though someone did get a bit of revenge. Someone TPed his house. Since he was hated by everyone, no one is certain who did it.

I have my own allergy story!
I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners. I'm also fat and always have been, so people think I'm lying about it based solely on my weight.
Now like many a person with religious trauma, I was forced to go to church every Sunday which meant enduring Sunday school. One rainy California day the Sunday school teachers brought us hot chocolate. I asked if it was made with NutraSweet. They said yes and I informed them I was allergic. They proceeded to call me a liar, said no one could be allergic to NutraSweet, called me wasteful and a dirty sinner, etc. It went on so long that the hot chocolate was luke warm by the time I finally glupped it down to get them to stop bullying me.
My parents were SO ANGRY when they had to take me to the ER and the teacher realized I was not a dirty little sinner.
Yikes! Double trauma, that sucks.
Can confirm the mentality of the last story. It was always funny to see fresh out of college managers try to tell people that have been doing the job longer than they’ve been alive how to do their job.
It's about marking their territory. Manager training needs to teach common sense.
As someone with a peanut allergy, I have never had a problem with regular M&Ms BUT I’ve also seen someone with an allergy so bad that they had a reaction from simply entering the same room as what they’re allergic to. I would’ve listened to that student.
The Sid the Sloth quote in the m&m story sent me 😭
I vividly recall being called up to the blackboard in Grade 3 at my Catholic primary school by Sister Leon and ordered to draw a B sharp. Given I'd never read, let alone learned music, I had NO idea what she was on about. After being shrieked at for my ignorance (along with several other kids), she finally asked the class how many of us paid attention in our music lessons. Given we were mostly poor farm kids, only two of the girls in the room were lucky enough to be learning music. She launched into a rant about how we should ALL be getting private tutoring, our parents were neglecting us, blah, blah, blah. That ended up being our one & only music class.
There is no B sharp. That would be C.
@@Salicat99There technically is such a thing as B# depending on how the music is written (in the same places as double sharps and double flats), but for all intents and purposes, it really is just C and I find it unnecessary as a musician.
@@evarinagarmguardian113 sounds like an unnecessary overcomplication!
@@evarinagarmguardian113 Enharmonic equivalence at its finest. B# does get written as such when the key sharpens C by default and a C-natural comes up. Some people like to keep the accidentals consistent with the key signature.
I had a professor in college who acted like this. He was from Ireland and claimed our school system was garbage and no one could have a high score in his class. I passed with a D. There were only two other people in the class who passed. He was an adjunct. After a second summer semester where people paid for a class they had no chance to complete, he got let go.
Story 2: I'm glad OP didn't press their lock just to prove a teacher wrong. I've read so many stories of kids and teens risking their own well-being to spite someone who thinks their smarter than Einstein. Allergies, asthma, disabilities, injuries, all these are not taken as seriously as thay should, because playing with allergies and the like, could put in the hospital or the morgue, all because somebody wants to have their "AHA I knew it" moment
On the story of allergies. M&Ms are one of the few things that you CAN eat. The company have very strict testing and separation protocols to keep the M&M brands that don't have peanuts from being contaminated. If they are even in the same building, different lines have different ventilation systems, different entrance doors, different employees.
interesting. I was going to guess that they still have warnings just to be extra safe, but found out that those warnings are for milk and soy. I also learned that they've had peanuts seperate since 1997, which was a good call since peanut allergies were on the rise at that time
As someone who is becoming a music teacher currently getting a music major. No people do not expect students to write symphonies. Also it would make me joyful as a student if one person was excited about music because there wasn’t a lot of excitement at mine.
Old mate assumed his student were prodigies like Mozart.
For those who don't know, "fo-red" is a valid pronunciation of forehead. Not sure if it's a British vs American thing or an old vs young thing, but I remember hearing it pronounced that way often back in the day

Everytime i hear a story about someone not believing food allergies, I'm reminded of all the stories my sister told me about people not believing her food allergy. She's allergic to red 40, the food coloring dye. She had to argue with one teacher until it came in contact with her skin and caused a rash in less than five minutes. Growing up, i got used to skimming ingredients to make sure she could have anything red, pink, or orange.
My kindergarten teacher STILL terrifies me!! She honestly looked like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda and was just as intimidating!
My dad saved me from her a few times but I was so happy to be out of her class!!
At least there was no iron maiden-like chokee.

I used to work at an international school in Armenia. One time, a British experienced PE teacher took some students (Armenians, Russians, Iranians mostly) to Georgia (ie another country) for a tournament. He didn't even get permission slips from parents or a copy of anyone's passport. Some teachers have no common sense. He's lucky that it was discovered by someone the day before so he wouldn't be arrested for child trafficking.
Oh wow
lol “trafficking “
I had a Choir Teacher for 8th Grade. It was her first actual teaching job (not student teaching). She expected kids to stand absolutely still for singing. I enjoyed the music and would move and sway along to it. So she HATED me. She would scold me for not staying still. At one point, we were at a competition. I was enjoying the music and moved along to it. The Teacher was FURIOUS but couldn't make a scene in front of the judges and parents. Well the judge came up and worked with us, had us try a few things, and give us some advice. Well, he singled me out. "You see this child? He clearly enjoys singing and THAT is what we love to see. We need more people that enjoy the music..." (Paraphrased because it has been a few decades). Oh boy did she fume after that. In the end, she lasted only that year and quit. She joined the post office away from my home town (weird but whatever). I saw her again about 6 years later, but I didn't go up to her. No reason to ruin my day with a potentially bad attitude person
Music Teacher Story: Had a weird music teacher in middle school. I was supposed to be in an intermediate band class but they put me in marching band. Which wasn't that big of an issue because I was percussion (mainly drums).
This teacher came from some kind of orchestra background and was an asshole to everyone. If he was getting fed up with the day he would go on about respecting him and bring up how he can handle whatever we throw at him. He commonly mentioned that his daughter got mad and threw a bike at him that he caught in midair and the fact that he takes enough insulin to kill an elephant.
He particularly didn't like how I played drums because he wants me to drown everyone else out. It also hurt my ears standing about 3 feet back from the drums with how loud he demonstrated playing.
There is no revenge or anything to this story, just an asshole music teacher that also seems to be disconnected from his role.
Story 2:This person isn't just not meant to be a teacher,She's meant to be locked up
Eh, IDK. She's definitely not suited to be a teacher, but she's not necessarily a criminal. Depending on when the story took place, the teacher might not have known that not containing nuts doesn't mean that cross-contamination can't happen. I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and a lot of people didn't really understand things like that all too well back then. We benefit a great deal from hindsight, in many situations, that the people involved likely weren't privy to. I'd say, at worst, she's likely just ignorant and stubborn, which is a bad combination.
Edit: I think I was talking about the wrong story. Need. More. Coffee.🤦♂️💀
@@SkunkApe407 Nah, you have the right story. Story 2 is the allergy one.
@@AzureKyle lol, okay. The old wrinkled matter hadn't fully booted yet.😅
Story 2: this is why I've always asked if they were allergic to nuts before opening anything containing nuts.
Story 3: this is why you listen to the I.T. guy.
Story4: I can’t imagine being so nasty. How could you get angry that those “lowly floor people” aren’t stupid and beat you at your own disgusting game? What was even the point of that? I can’t imagine being so insecure and arrogant that you’d hire a professional photographer to take pictures to prove how superior you think you are over your employees. With that kind of management I’m not surprised the place closed down.
Story 2: it's funny how a teacher is confident that his mom would yell at him for not eating something that she knew full well about her son's allergies. At your mom wipe that smug look out of her face when your mom lectured her for trying to make her send you to the hospital. And what's funny is that now she's mad that a 7 year old student proofs her wrong and doesn't want to admit that op was right about not eating something that he's allergic to.
It's because she thought the kid was making it up to be disobedient, and that the mother would yell at her son for not listening to his teacher, who clearly knew better about his allergies than he did.
We had an freshman English professor at my college nicknamed El Diablo because he didn't believe anyone deserved an A on assignments no matter what. So the best you could ever get was a 89.9%. most of the class failed because his grading was so strict
Fourth story: That company more than having a wall of shame they had a wall of shaming. The fact that the boss was mad that he didn't got the pictures he expected means he does that just to put down those who he thought were beneeth him.
One of the things you could do for this is to obtain a copyright for your own likeness then tell your company that they don't have a right to use it. You will likely be ignored until your photo is actually up, at which point you can force them into a position of either paying you a licensing fee or taking down the material which may result in huge amounts of money and compliance.
My husband and his coworkers would totally do that. The big wigs just don't understand that people on the floor are making their money and aren't monkeys
I remember there’s a comment from the OP of first story were they mention the teacher made them pay for their own meals. I know it’d likely be normal but this guy not only mistreated everyone, acted like they should be forced to go despite making it a choice & not only made them drive themselves but then he made them pay when the least he could do for his mistreatment was pay even if her were to make them get something cheap.
Yeah, it's supposed to be the party, the host is usually expected to pay for everything. I've never had a pizza party at school or work where I had to pay for the pizza.
I had a chill English teacher in my senor year in high school. He was universally liked by everyone. When it came to reading Shakespeare he knew a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds would be bored so he made it fun. Include movie version or audio plays.
A lot of classes were discuss book, what we need to do, occasional project and a movie related to what we were doing.
When he had a medical emergency where he missed at least a month, he told our substitute to give assignments, projects, do tests, etc and show certain movies. Again everyone liked him so it was allowed
He was welcomed back big time when he returned.
He retired the same year I graduated so was lucky to have him
see, these awful teacher stories are exactly why i want to become a teacher. i want to be one of the good teachers that make kids want to learn.
The "are you sure" still stands to this day. Even after that while giving the warning, the person still wants it done.
Then again, they don't really listen anyway since they believe it is "right." Just until the downfall lol.
...and also when someone say "can you put that in writing" just stop and think! Lol 😀
@@alsanova and email it to me too lol.
I experienced the same thing in 1st grade. I used to get nose bleeds and had to physically stop my teacher holding my head back. when it's your own quirk you are the expert. Too many times in my life I have been told bullshit from so called "teachers"

Teacher: "really!? I thought this was advanced class!?"

My highschool band instructor/marching band instructor ripped the wires out for the intercom because he didn't like being interrupted. Twice. He also threw things at students, stands, instruments, chairs. He did eventually get fired, only to be replaced by a PDFile and end up rehired.
I hope that everyone is having a good Monday!
Story one: I had a teacher my sophomore year of high school. It was maybe her second year in the school district (older lady that had just moved). She taught our grade level English class like it was an AP class, and mind you this class had several students who were taking it their junior year due to failing it the previous year and several English learners. I was one of the few that was strong enough to do good and I regularly tutored other students to help them at least pass with a C in the class. She was also incredibly racist (which to make worse, I was one of two white students in her class of 30). The year after she taught the dual enrollment English class. The year after (my senior year) she was gone and the teacher I had my junior year for English became my English teacher senior year for dual enrollment. I don't know if anyone ever complained about her, I know I didn't as I couldn't afford for my grade to take a hit if she retaliated, but she was absolutely awful.
Oh no, this guy's way worse than Slughorn. Slughorn was actually a decent guy. This teacher in story 1 seems like a full-of-himself grandiose narcissist.
Like Mrs Beauregard after the Rule 63 treatment?
Isn't "forid" British pronuciation of "forehead" ?

This is the only possible reason I can possibly think of as to why some people feel the need to constantly prove that food allergies don't exist...
My dad is, as far as I know, the only person alive who hates cheese. So whenever he would go out to a restaurant, he would always request that cheese be left off of any item on the menu he would order that had it. However, he'd always get it on the item. I don't think it was intentional...I just think the concept that someone would dislike cheese is so foreign to people that it doesn't stick in their mind. He has a hard time even getting plain hamburgers nowadays because everyone is expected to want a cheeseburger.
So he eventually started telling waiters that he was allergic to cheese. That was the only way they'd be guaranteed to leave it off of his meal. Now, me and my whole family know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's just telling a lie whenever he says he's allergic, and we've known that for years. However, we also know he doesn't care about cheese when he can't tell that it's in it. So...as bad as this is, I'll admit it...we did used to occasionally sneak cheese into things and he'd eat it without complaint about the food. (On a side note, he has finally warmed up to cheese a little in his old age.)
Now, I've had multiple food allergies during my life and my mom also had food allergies growing up. In particular, she was allergic to cocoa nibs; which meant the only chocolate she could eat growing up was white chocolate. However, she grew out of her own food allergies and now she likes the darkest chocolate she can find. I myself grew out of my allergy to eggs. But the point is we had genuine food allergies, and so I do wonder if we only had exposure to my dad if we'd be as clueless as these people and think allergies are an excuse to get out of food you hate.
Well...that or maybe these clueless people also think "maybe they grew out of their allergies", which is also a crappy way to go. I was allergic to fish at an early age and as I got older I only got MORE allergic to fish.
My teacher kicked me out of class after I insisted first class was more expensive than business class. What really said him off is when I say, "that's why they call it FIRST class because it is the most expensive and best service." 😂😂
story 1:
you learn chords and music symbols in highschool?
damn, we start with that at 4th grade. that is the fourth year of having a musical education, mandatory, in elementary school. that is when everyone starts to play an instrument or sing. before that we just learn and listen to various music.
highschool? damn, i knew us had no math, geography, history and science education but looks like no arts too...
Bit rude, rSlash… a 7-year-old has less knowledge and life experience than an adult, but their ability to reason is limited only by their lack of acquired knowledge. A LOT of them have better sense and intelligence than many adults, because intelligence is a spectrum in any generation.
The teacher’s real problem, one shared by too many adults, is that they get on some kind of power trip with kids where they never want to hear the word “no” and give kids zero credit for having brains. We try and teach kids to make informed choices, ask questions, and that they have bodily autonomy, and they have to deal with teachers who consider each of these things disrespectful. Shoot, school kids don’t even get to pee when they need to without getting permission.
We get it 😒🤦
Story 1 I had an art teacher in highschool just like that. She seemed to think we were college level when in reality we were only in her class because core forced us too. Her grading was so strict the highest grade anyone got was a C. The following year I was in a different class across the hall from hers and she was constantly screaming at everyone. 2 months into the semester and everyone dropped out of her class. Somehow she still teaches there as far as I know
"Fo-rid" is an acceptable UK pronunciation. Most people still say forehead though.
If someone ask you repeatedly about your orders, and give you an exact play by play about what will happen if you go through with those orders: RECONSIDER YOUR ORDERS.
Teacher here: if I had a kid with any kind of nut allergy, I’d make sure to have them all use the skittles so no one feels singled out.
As a university student, I can see why he was no longer a professor
Story 1: Who the hell does this teacher think he is? JK Simmons in Whiplash?!
Probably
I would think there would be some kind of a lawsuit going on with M & M's having to manufacture regular ones with peanut ones.
Why? They aren't doing anything illegal, and they now have packaging that states it's made in the same factory as the peanut ones.
@@AzureKyle I just think there be somebody out there that would want to try and make some money by suing a company like M & M. Or The possibility that there are some people out there that want to eat regular M&Ms since they don't have peanuts in them but it's just the machinery that's doing it. I mean how hard is it to have separate machinery in a separate building nearby.
@@richewilson6394 It's not about how hard it is, but how much money it would cost. It's far cheaper to slap a warning label on, than to make a completely different factory just to appease a minority of people. Also, I'm sure people have tried to sue them, but their legal teams and massive wealth put a stop to it.
Good morning everybody! Hope you have a phenomenal start to your week!

Hey Dabney! I've been a fan for like, 4 or 5 years by now. And you are actually a daily routine of mine. Our daughters are similar ages too.
Thanks for being a funny TH-cam man
Story 4: That seems a bit, dumb of the boss, I had the pleasure to work with reps from companies that want all workers to look nice, heck, even some of the floor workers look more professional than some of the office colleagues, doesn't matter what level you are, everyone had sharp pictures for the ID's and emails/profiles.
Funny enough, some office workers requested us to have them retouched with photoshop "a bit" (more), lol.
In the allergy story, I like to think that it went as follows with the kid saying Mrs. Idiot and the teacher just accepting it as her name.
Aussie here. I pronounce it "for'ed".
as a manager anything health related i take VERY seriously. even if my boss hates that they can't actually fire me for that without repercussions. someone has a dairy alergy but can exist in the room with it and touch products with trace amounts? alright. stay on fries i'll have someone else take care of the specialty fries and nuggets (some of which literally have a dairy product put on them) seizures? (incredibly common in fast food appearently, any ideas post below) i will take what measures i can to not induce a seizure and will have an eye on you so if you do drop down i'll be there in a few seconds. it's appalling at the number of managers i've worked with/for that don't understand some simple fundamentals about having employees with health considerations. one dude even mistakened a grand mal seizure as a panic attack TWICE. i layed into that guy as a fellow manager about that. another thinks that employee just fakes it, bruh. good god i am not paid enough for this shit.
Third story: the ISP is lucky OP didn't go full Bastard Operator from Hell on them... That would had been catastrophic
1:38 I hate teachers like this whether they’re college professors or high school teachers.
Oh, the allergy... I thought my allergy to shellfish wasn't bad at all, until it caught up with me. It took a second ER trip and epi-pens to drive it into my tiny brain I can never enjoy those foods again. I didn't used to have an allergy to anything. I love shrimp, but now I am afraid to eat at anyplace that serves shrimp... Clams, nope. Lobster, never again. There are lots of ways I would prefer to die than suffocation! I'm not going to ask every place I eat to sterilize their kitchen just for me. My friends are aware of this. If we go out, it's someplace without any shellfish on the menu, or one of us cooks. I don't even ask them for this, they are just good people.
For those who think allergies are "fake", I hope you develop 2 for every person you know with allergies. Cruel, but I am sick of being told I just want attention, when I HATE being in the ER for hours! They are so busy... They will save you, then leave you on a terrible bed-like object for hours while they run tests and treat others. Miserable, uncomfortable, and when you need to pee... I needed 4 stitches in about 2 minutes, but I was there for hours. I didn't even have a book! I had a seizure and I don't even remember letting the paramedics take me. I have no idea how they got past the chain on the door... Yea, I must have unlatched it, but I have no memory of it. There was blood all over my floor from a tiny cut on my head (head wounds bleed a LOT if you don't already know). I had ordered delivery food that night, and maybe missed something (but I haven't found what yet) that should have been a warning.
the teacher wants the skittles that's why
God damn the OP in the first story had the teacher from Whiplash as his director.
i will never understand the kind of power trip office workers have _especially_ when the only reason they get to have any work to do (you know, to get paid for?) is directly dependent on the floor workers doing their job.
1 video, 2 incompetent teachers, sweet comupance for both. I love it
Story 1: I hate ego driven teachers who don't know how to talk to students.
that sounds like my highschool band teacher except he never taught university just highschool. Hes still band director despite how everyone and their mom complained
My brothers 4th grade teacher was like this she threatened the kids constantly because they couldn’t do high school math
2nd story: OP’s grammar indicates she wasn’t yelled at enough by her teachers. Sheesh.
