People Recall The Creepiest Thing Their Teacher Ever Did

A teacher can be a profoundly influential force for good. To inspire and educate a teenager is to provide a foundation for positive outcomes throughout the rest of a life.

A teacher can also conduct some of the most disturbing, inexcusable behaviors with vulnerable adolescents. These cringe maneuvers provide some of the most severe, awkward silences ever to grace the lives of every kid in class.


And those silences echo for a long time afterward. So long, in fact, that they end up on Reddit years later, when the adolescents have become internet-surfing adults.

The detail descriptions prove that those moments are tattooed on the brain for years.

An Irresponsible Use of Water

AV Club

"We had a teacher with a school aged daughter, like 7-9th grade. She and a friend were flipping through the TV channels and stumbled upon a live feed of their bathroom."

"Turns out he was recording these young girls in the shower."

-- darebear1193

That'll Teach that Punk Warwick

"Third grade teacher filled a bucket of water and pushed a students head in the bucket causing a sensation of drowning. (Whenever there was an unruly student he would fill a bucket of water and threaten to dunk them.)"

"One brave lad, Warwick, refused to be cowed so the teacher held his head in the bucket. This was 1970s rural Australia."

-- chinguetti

Permanent Record?

"My little sister took ceramics her freshman year high school. They had to do some project and she wanted to look on google for some references."

"She went to ask her teacher if she could use his computer, and she saw that he had a computer folder open that was full of pictures of her."

-- slutforsartre

Extracurricular Creepin'

"I had a teacher in middle school who would leave the classroom door propped open 24/7 so he could see the halls from the white board. Without fail any time a cute (middle school) girl would walk by he would literally stop lecturing to stare at her when she walked by."

"He was also the baseball coach and got fired a few months after I finished his class because he was harassing the players making fun of them for dating ugly girls, or giving them props for dating cute girls. Total creep."

-- ncou524

A Committed Level of Cringe

"As a 'treat' for being a good class, my high school economics teacher turned off the lights, used a dry erase marker as a microphone, and sang 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' by Savage Garden."-- ellWatully

"It depends, though —Like did he make eye contact with anyone During the line 'I want to bathe with you in the sea?'" -- noonegetsmyjokes

Bit of a Logical Leap, No?

"When I was in 8th grade, I was sitting by my friend and my teacher noticed this. At the end of the day, he came up to me with a creepy smile and gave me a shoulder rub. Whispering in my ear 'you're not focused in my class so I'm gonna get you focused with a shoulder rub.'"

-- Rubbergamer6529

When a Joke Gets Old QUICK

"There was a teacher in my all-girls Catholic high school who had a daughter who attended the school. When she got to the point where she was in his class, she didn't want to address him by 'Mr. (insert last name here)' because it felt awkward so she just kept calling him 'dad' or 'daddy.'"

"Not a huge deal. At first."

"Kids are weird, so it became a trend apparently for that whole class to refer to him as 'daddy.'"

"He not only allowed them to continue doing it, but actively encouraged it by 'jokingly' refusing to answer to girls who didn't call him by his 'proper title.'"

-- movemojiteaux

Pet Names are Never Good for Students

"I had a teacher give me a nick name... it was 'Cherry' because I had red hair and wore this cute cherry necklace that I adored because it was given to me by my best friend."

"He would walk over and grab my shoulder. And say 'how you doin little cherry'... and yeah... he would compliment me on my hair or how I dressed and would say 'you're one of the good ones cherry.'"

-- krisredd22

An Unfair (And Horrifying) Point System

"Gym teacher wasn't allowed to teach the swimming unit anymore because he gave extra credit to any female who would wear a bikini."

MAGA Podcaster Goes Viral After Admitting What His 'Breaking Point' With The Trump Administration Finally Was

Comedian-turned-MAGA bro podcaster Andrew Schulz has gone viral after sharing during a conversation on The Brilliant Idiots with Charlamagne Tha God that ongoing ICE raids were his "breaking point" with President Donald Trump and that liberals were right about the threat Trump poses to democracy in the U.S.

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

Dad Sparks Heated Debate After 'Nice Note' He Left For Wife And Kids Before Work Trip Sets Her Off

When a person becomes a parent, much more will change in their life than they anticipated.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
