Back when I was in high school, a student a couple years before me bit off a bite of an apple and pretended that it was a grenade and threw it, but the apple hit an alarm bell, and then the fire alarm went off and the school had to be evacuated which resulting in them sending two firetrucks to clear the school. I don't know if it was a coordinated move where he would throw it and his friend manually set off the alarm, or if the apple hitting the alarm bell damaged the alarm somehow which triggered the fire alarm to go off.
I know, it doesn't sound believable to me either, but I'll never forget it because I saw it lol
Also I was sitting eating lunch with one of my friends in high school, and someone randomly walked by and threw a piece of bread at me. None of us even knew that person or ever saw them before, but we referred to that event as "drive by bread". There was also "drive by rat" but that's a story for another day lmao
It's already another day now. Tell us the "drive by rat" story.
Now that it's my birthday, I'll tell the "drive by rat" story. I was eating lunch with my friends (there's a pattern here) and we saw a giant rat run by while we were eating. A couple days later, we noticed a pest control vehicle while we were in class. There were always rumours that the school had rats, but that basically confirmed it for us.
There was also a student and his girlfriend who pushed another student through a glass window and I got to see them being taken away in handcuffs also during lunch.
I also made a time capsule with one of my friends during chemistry class because there was a broken desk where the wooden top of the desk would come off, so we wrote on some papers (I think we wrote something like "yeah yeah yeah GSL" etc because we were very into StarCraft at the time lol) and pushed them into the desk legs. I wonder if they are still there or if anyone found them lol
Apparently I have a lot of stories from when I was in high school. lol
Thanks for keeping your promise! Wow, you saw a lot of stuff just by having lunch with your friends!
Yeah it was quite the experience lmao I used to always have lunch at home in elementary school but staying for lunch at high school definitely made some memorable experiences over 4 years lol
I definitely believe you as one time, playing cricket in a common room at school, my friend hit a tennis ball and it smashed a break glass fire call point (mcp?) setting there fire alarm off.
