• From farting restrictions to a ban on water bottles, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the weirdest rules our schools have.
I’m Danger Dolan and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by ChronicSquirrel Pringle
When Pringle was in school he had two teachers that had a no farting rule.
His senior-year math teacher, in particular, was a total fart Nazi!
One fart would get you a verbal warning, and a second one would mean instant detention.
If a student dared to fart a third time that was a suspension and a permanent black mark
on their record.
One day Pringle had leftover chili for lunch and turned into a farting machine.
When he was sent home his parents demanded to know what kind of trouble he’d gotten
into.
So Pringle showed them the official school documentation, which said: SUSPENDED FOR FARTING.
They were… not happy.
Number 9 was submitted by IrresoluteDelinquent Hellbent
Hellbent’s school has a rule against students having facial hair.
This is actually pretty normal…
But the strange part is the Dean of Hellbent’s school likes to come around to the classrooms
and personally enforce this rule!
Every morning he barges in and puts his hands all over the male students’ faces to check
for signs of facial hair.
If he feels any fuzz at all he publicly embarrasses the students by making them shave it off with
a disposable razor!
Number 8 was submitted by KING_40 Grgak Grgak’s school is extremely strict about
uniform – even on free dress days!
One time, Grgak got sent home for wearing a red t-shirt to class.
The principal told him that red is a ‘gang colour’ so Grgak was obviously trying to
start a gang war!
Grgak explained that he hates gangs, but the principal didn’t believe him.
He said he’d seen Grgak holding up two fingers to make a gang sign that morning.
Grgak explained that he was making a peace sign but the principal wouldn’t believe
him and he got a suspension.
Number 7 was submitted by Emperor_Snokepatine Snewpee
Snewpee’s school tried for a whole year to make hallways and stairwells one-way only.
It was a small school so they thought this would help with the dangerous amount of congestion,
but it was a total disaster!
It was really impractical.
One time Snewpee was on her way to class when she realised she’d forgotten something on
the ground floor.
But she couldn’t just turn around and get it; she had to follow the one-way arrows and
do an entire lap of the building to get to where she wanted!
And this made her late for class!
The rule was so stupid that even teachers didn’t follow it.
But they were happy to enforce it and give students detention if they caught them disobeying
it…
Number 6 was submitted by StevenUniverseFanboy Pandora
Pandora’s school has some really strange rules, but one of the dumbest is fifth graders
aren’t allowed to get ice from the cafeteria ice machines!
Even if it was the hottest day on record only sixth, seventh and eighth graders were allowed
the privilege of using the ice machine.
When Pandora asked her teacher why this stupid rule existed, the teacher told her that all
fifth-graders were irresponsible and would throw ice everywhere if they were given the
chance.
Pandora was so mad about this that she started a petition to get it changed.
Fifth-graders deserve ice too, damn it!
Number 5 was submitted by IcePooterLovesPeggy Slapped Ham
The strangest rule at Slapped Ham’s school is students’ backpacks aren’t allowed
to weigh more than three pounds.
Every morning teachers would go around the school measuring every student’s backpack.
Apparently this is to stop students from bringing in anything dangerous, like firearms.
But for Slapped Ham it meant carefully weighing every single thing he put in his bag to avoid
getting detention!
Whenever he had History class he’d have to leave his lunch at home to fit his massive
textbook!
Number 4 was submitted by JD-Explosion Melissa When Melissa was in the eighth grade her social
studies class had a pet gecko.
Melissa read the list of rules next to its enclosure and noticed the first one said ‘Never
try to rip off the gecko’s tail!’
Melissa thought this was really weird so she asked her teacher about it.
The teacher told her the rule was made because a past student tried to rip the gecko’s
tail off to gross out the other students.
The gecko ended up biting him in self-defense.
He had to go to the nurse’s office and tried suing the school.
Number 3 was submitted by MusicLoverGirl483 Zaraganba
The weirdest rule at my brothers school is you aren’t allowed to bring in water bottles
– not even if you have a note from the doctor!
This was because a kid once brought vodka into school and got his friends drunk.
He disguised it as water so they could get drunk right under their teachers’ noses!
Now whenever my brother has a sore throat at school he curses those dumbass students
for getting water bottles banned!
Number 2 was submitted by Polar_Bear_Master Andiemations
Andiemations’ teacher was sick of having all her pens stolen by her students, so she
came up with a new rule to stop it.
If a student wanted to borrow a pen they had to hand over one of their shoes to get it.
If they didn’t return the pen by the end of the class they wouldn’t get their shoe
back!
Andiemations thought this rule was pretty funny.
Especially when one of her friends lost the teacher’s pen and had to walk home with
one shoe…
Number 1 – What’s the weirdest rule my
school had?
