DUMB REASONS WE GOT DETENTION #3

• From hacking the school bell to a hair comb security threat, the Planet Dolan crew
re-enact even more of the best true stories from our subreddit about the dumbest reason
you’ve ever gotten detention. I’m Dolan and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by Amonasrester Hellbent
When Hellbent was six weeks into freshman year of high school, he got detention for
changing the school's bell to the RickRoll meme. Hellbent went onto the server and hacked
his way through the basic principle security and made it to the program. He was playing
solitaire on his computer while running the program in the background. For the duration
of about 6 minutes, "Never gonna give you up/ never gonna let you down/ never gonna
run around and desert you", played over and over again. For that prank Hellbent expected
to be expelled but only received a detention.
Number 9 was submitted by SkyeMcRicherds Pandora
When Pandora was in the 5th grade - her first and only year at a public middle school – she
was in Physical Ed, playing dodge ball. About fifteen minutes in, Pandora was sent to the
office and given a detention slip for the grave violation of dodging the balls that
where being thrown at her. The reason the teacher gave was that Pandora had been using
the other students as shields, when she had simply been hanging back and giving balls
that went back that far to others in her team. The teacher was just annoyed that a team lead
by Pandora, which included the other "Weirdo Group" of middle school beat her team in a
district wide dodge ball challenge.
Number 8 was submitted by Baggoo13 Andie
When Andie was in 9th grade she got two detentions in one day. Her insane theology teacher was
sitting at her desk behind Andie and her friend, who were going over a study guide. Andie’s
friend had a different answer for a question so she changed it to match. Two seconds later,
the crazy teacher yanked both of their papers away from them and said, "That's not how we
do things here" and grabbed Andie by the arm, and took her to the dean of discipline's office.
The teacher said, "I caught this girl cheating off of another classmate's assignment." Andie
was crying, as she hated getting into trouble. "It was a study guide and I wasn’t cheating!
It wasn’t even an assignment! I didn’t do anything wrong!” The dean asked, "If
you didn’t do anything wrong then why are you crying?" She could no longer speak through
the tears and the teacher’s perfume was giving her asthma. Andie served the lunch
detention, mopping the gym instead of eating. In the next class, Andie was sneakily taking
nibbles from a granola bar. The teacher spotted Andie eating and pulled her up in front of
the entire class to interrogate her. She tried to explain the situation but the unsympathetic
HEALTH teacher sent her to the dean of discipline again. Andie was all cried out but had to
stand there as she was yelled at for getting another detention.
Number 7 was submitted by Fun626YT Nixxiom
When Nixxiom was in 8th grade, School security saw him combing his hair, and escorted him
to the security office. They began to rant at Nixxiom for having a “weapon” - apparently,
a tool meant for grooming your hair is a weapon. They then proceeded to search his backpack
for more "weapons" and… they found his spare comb. The Police were called, and Nixxiom’s
combs were taken away from him, and never given back. He was forced to sign a behaviour
contract, given three weeks of detention, and had to go to a shock program, which is
boot camp for misfits, and all for bringing a comb to school.
Number 6 was submitted by Manga_Power Robo
In 4th grade Robo had to draw a picture of what it would have been like if his family
was in the great depression. He drew what he thought was a realistic picture, making
his family dog very thin and hungry. The teacher thought it was inappropriate to portray his
dog like this, even though he would be dying slowly from hunger.
Number 5 was submitted by CanniRedditsNever Zaraganba
Zaraganba once got three detentions for having worn a hat in high school. He had a medical
504 requiring that he wear a hat at all times because of the bald spots on my head from
chemotherapy the previous year. The head disciplinarian kept sending teachers after him, and refused
to speak to Zaraganba directly. This was literally endangering his life because of his Lupus,
which is easily triggered by sunlight, bright lights, and injury. Eventually the officer
on campus made them check the 504.
Number 4 was submitted by CatsbytheGrape Cid During lunch, some guy was throwing baby carrots
at Cid. The carrots were piling up on the table so he decided to put them in a bag and
throw them away. When he tossed the bag into the trash, one of the supervising teachers
saw Cid and claimed he was starting a food fight and wasting food. When he tried to explain,
the teacher sent him to the vice-principal (who already disliked Cid). He was given a
week of after-school detention.
Number 3 was submitted by Stephanie_A8876 Legna
Legna once got a detention for walking into class two seconds after the bell finished
ringing. His teacher said he was disrupting class when in all actuality the lesson hadn’t
even started. Then because of the detention he was late to a band sectional and then given
another detention. So he got a detention because he was late, then another detention because
he was late due to his first detention. It was a vicious cycle.
Number 2 was submitted by Dangerdolansass Spinalpalm
Spinalpalm once got suspended for 6 weeks because he shaved his hair for cancer charity,
raising over $900. Many of his friends had survived cancer, and he wanted to say thanks
to the doctors. When he rocked up to school bald, he was sent home until it grew back
to ear length.
