Jimmy Fallon Invited People To Share Why Their High School Was Weird, Here’re 30 Of The Funniest Responses
Remember the adults who told you that high school will be some of the best years in your life? Well, they left out that it can be pretty bizarre too. As a student, you often don’t question the things happening around you. Only when you graduate and compare memories with others do you begin to understand what an odd place it was.
“It’s Hashtags time! Tell us something weird or funny about your high school, and tag it with #MyHighSchoolWasWeird,” Jimmy Fallon tweeted and triggered a flow of tales from people’s wild teenage years.
From “bring your tractor to school” days to canoe lessons in the swimming pool, we have selected some of the best responses from this thread. So keep scrolling and share your own stories in the comment section below! Also, be sure to check out some of Fallon’s recent challenges on #WorstGiftEver, #MyFamilyIsWeird, #MyBadLuck.

My high school played music in between each class. You had until the last note of the song to be in the door before being tardy.
Huddo's sister 3 years ago
We had that in Primary school before our bells. The music generally sucked though, unless the grade 6 students were picking it, and even then it was not really my taste. The secretary had to approve the selection before it played though so I guess that's why it was pretty lame.

This challenge on The Tonight Show was all about the things that made people’s high schools look straight-up weird. Jimmy Fallon kicked off the thread himself by tweeting: “One time a swim meet was canceled at my friend’s high school because the pool ‘caught on fire.’ Still have no idea how that’s possible.”
Yet it seems that the people of Twitter have had it even weirder. Whether it’s mayonnaise bandits or “Dress Code Violator” T-Shirts, some of these stories make us scratch our heads from confusion. But imagine strolling through the halls of your school and finding a small room with a creepy dentist’s chair.
That’s what happened to Riley Smith, a singer and songwriter from Australia. He responded to the challenge: “One time, my friends and I found a locked secret room down the stairs from the bathroom with a dentist chair sitting in the middle of it.” His tweet was picked out from the crowd and aired on the show, with Jimmy Fallon responding to it: “That can’t be real, right?” Well, it seems that it was.

In my school DARE that's 80's for drug awareness resistance education tshirts were worn by the potheads to be funny or to announce they sold pot etc.
We managed to get in touch with Riley and he was kind enough to have a little chat with us. “It felt amazing to have my tweet read out by Jimmy because I really didn’t expect it,” he told Bored Panda. “When the original hashtag post was made, I put my tweet there thinking that it wouldn’t get picked but there’s always a chance.”
Later on, he watched the show and saw his tweet right there on the screen. “To hear him read my tweet and let alone say my name was amazing. I absolutely freaked out and I now can officially say that I’ve been on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Incredible,” Riley added that he still cannot believe it to this day.
The number of responses this thread received only shows that many have had odd high school experiences. Riley mentioned that one reason for it could be that every school is different and has its own history. “So the students wouldn’t expect something like a dentist chair to be in a room under their bathroom, for example.”

Head in a school I taught at once let a manggy ginger homeless cat sleep in the school one night. It wouldn't leave. Which ever room it was sleeping in in the morning would be told to do lessons quitely. Cleaners got annoyed, but head cleaned up after it. Teachers objected a kid might be allergic - but none came forward. Before long, cat ruled the discipline (no arguments in front of the cat) and the head was loved by all the kids for bringing in the cat.

This is in really bad taste… I mean, I’m no big animal rights advocate or anything and I don’t have a problem with dissecting animals for education, but I do believe in at the very least treating the bodies with like a baseline of dignity and respect. Turning them into organic piñatas is gross.

At my school, in Australia, it depended on which teacher you had. Some would get you to dissect rats, but mine never did. Closest I got was in Psychology we dissected a lamb's brain into the four lobes. Bit pointless, we had already done it with replicas and stuff. My first science unit for my teaching degree, the teacher gave us all these reasons why dissection shouldn't be allowed...

“Personally, I think ‘weird experiences’ and high school go hand in hand with each other and that our high school years are really the glory days of our lives. You never know what’s going to happen in a day at high school,” he continued by saying that days at his school were always like that.
His tweet left people wondering why on earth would a dentist chair be sitting in a hidden and locked place at a high school. While some jokingly wondered whether teachers used it for torture, Riley revealed that he can only guess the real motive behind it. “I really can’t think of any reason why the dentist chair was in that room apart from maybe at some point my high school had some kind of free dentistry service? Unlikely but possible.”

OK, so a graduated senior is almost always going to be over 18, that's not a problem in any culture I know of. A young, first or second-year, teacher will be maybe 23-25 years old, so a 7 year age difference at most. I really don't see the problem here. Now if you know there was something going on in advance that's a bit different. My HS carpentry teacher married a sophomore - because he got her pregnant. He was probably around 50. Shrugs all around. He kept teaching, she kept going to class. It was the 70s, which might explain a few things.

“If the door was unlocked, then my friends and I could’ve got a closer look at the rest of the room but we could only see the chair through the small window in the door.” Unfortunately, it seems that the mystery will remain unsolved. “It’s a shame that the school was renovated and the room is no longer there. Now it’s just a piece of a secret history that only myself, my friends, Jimmy Fallon, and his audience know about,” Riley said.

This makes me sad. The son of my parent's neighbors died after it started snowing on a Saturday school day and they were let out early. He was a very new driver and pulled out in front of another vehicle he couldn't see due to the heavy snow. School was held on Saturday because it had been canceled earlier in the week, due to snow. Very, very sad.

This kind of thing happened at my school a few months ago. There was a snowstorm that was so bad I wasn't going to be surprised if they either cancelled school or did a 2 hour delay, but they didn't. However, right as school started for the day, they announced that the elementary schools have been closed instead.
Huddo's sister 3 years ago
Where I come from there is no such thing as snow days, because there isn't really snow. The closest I came was in Primary school where we were sent home if the temp was above 30c because there were no air conditioners, but then they got a government grant for them. I think if there was a massive storm, leading to flooding you were probably allowed to go, but I'm not sure how you would do it because you couldn't drive!

Kind of similar, but my middle school had to have a talk in homeroom about the bathroom expectations, which includes making sure you make it in the toilet, don’t steal the soap dispensers, don’t look through the stall cracks, and don’t don’t poop in the urinals. My grade has also gotten sun flower seeds, getting your own lunch tray, phones in class at all (like if you’re caught with one even just in your pocket you have to have your mom pick it up from the office), milk outside of the cafe cause someone dumped a carton on the bathroom floor, bottle flipping, going on the grass for our useless ten minute recess, and going inside from recess without like 5 teachers to guide us in. If they weren’t legally required to give us a lunch period they would have banned that too. Our counselor for our grade also has quit every single year since fifth grade (im in seventh now).

In practice, children who do not need to go at brake but may need the toilet half an hour later are given passes. A child who complains of a dodgy belly in the morning is often given one for the day as are commonly girls the first few times they have a period. And the face and body language of someone unexpectedly caught short is pretty obvious. Adults don't really like to say no to a kid who might need the toilet - even when you know they are trying to skive. But if some sort of pass or control is not used - toilets become a scary place for the desperate.

Hey wait a minute . . I live in Canada, and my high-school had a range in the basement, and we had bicycles with rifle-racks out the back of the school, for the hunters, in season, of course. And I've seen pictures of Switzerland's rifle-rack bikes, too. Don't dis America un-necessarily.

In my high school we did Trap shooting for PE. Yep we actually shot things for a gym grade. At a range of course. No one was yelling "PULL!" and then firing a shotgun in the gym. The top shooters were mostly girls in my class.

It was common in my small town Texas school. Hell, at lunch time you could find the principal in the parking lot with a bunch of guys, checking out shotguns and deer rifles. Not to see if they were safe, but the principal going, "Damn, this is a nice one! You got the scope too? Nice!" ZERO incidences.

Even growing up in such a town, we were taught that this was beyond stupid. Why? Because so many people had their expensive rifles stolen right out of their trucks.

I don't think 'weird' is the right word. Crazy idea letting children (who a previous post pointed out aren't really trusted to go to the toilet without needing a hall pass) have guns in a school! Even if they are allowed to hunt, just because you have experienced no problems doesn't mean they can't happen. I know other people won't agree with my opinion, but I just worry about normalizing kids using guns.

My school never had a graduation 'ceremony'. I don't know that any in my country do, except private schools. We had a formal at the end of year 12 and got a certificate from the school there, but it was really a formal thing. It also wasn't our official certificate, because they are issued by the state, only after your marks are released like a month after you finish school.

I had a boss who went to a one room schoolhouse in N Dakota during the ‘60s. There were, I think, 15 kids in his family. At any rate, when his family moved they closed the school because they didn’t have enough students left to make paying the teacher cheaper than bussing the remaining students to the school in the next town over.

We had 'the new building' in my primary school that was a portable, which the out of hours care ran from. It was 'the new building' even when my mum attended the school at least twenty years earlier, until it was lit on fire twice and burned down. Then at high school there was a portable that was originally a year 12 common room I think that was converted into a classroom. It must have been there at least 30 years as well and is still there more than 10 years after I finished school. State education funding is a slow business, though every school did get a grant for a Performing Arts Centre about 15 years ago.

Basic gun safety that you store guns and ammo separate. Generally you have separate ammo boxes for your extra ammo. They probably didn't want the guns in the car because it would have been too easy for a kid or a passerby to break in the car and use the guns and ammo in a bad way.

Because my best friends mom was a teacher there, I learned that the next year the school installed security cameras. Nobody ever topped the cow prank.

My 9th grade world history teacher had been a high fashion model in the 50s, 60s and 70s. She would tell us stories about fashion week, etc., all while being drunk most of the time. I learned how to roll a joint in that class. Only needed that skill once as I'm allergic to pot but we had some good times in that class.

We had a class all of the students called AP Coloring. It was Geography. The teacher assigned map coloring, and he was very particular. I once used markers instead of colored pencils, and I had to stay after class so he could explain why that was a problem.

Wow! (I once forgot about Asia existing when I had to label a map, and it was a group work, so maybe we should have been demoted to colouring)

My high school was built in 1931, on top of a TB hospital that was torn down. In the auditorium mens bathroom, there is a small door that would lead to tunnels that led to the Toledo hospital, about a mile away, to a now gone crematorium, and a now removed maß grave. Tunnels were used to transfer patients with TB and the dead so they would not spread TB above ground
