A Classic Case of Mistaken Identity 

"He thought he was a robot."

In His Defense, He was on Vacation

"Set his arm on fire on a school trip to France. Sprayed his arm with deodorant for about a whole minute before getting someone to light it."

"It wouldn't go out until he used the tap in the bathroom to douse it with water. He ended up with blisters and permanent scarring."

"So the school trip ends and we go back to school the week after. All of a sudden me and 4 other kids get pulled into a classroom, to be questioned by police and the head teacher.

"He basically told his mum that we did it to him? Obviously this did not stick, as we all had the same story."

"If I had facebook I would look him up, see how life is for him nowadays."

Cosplayin' in the Halls

"Dude would wear a storm trooper costume and taped an old flip-up phone to his arm and pretend to talk through it. This was in HS."

"He was particularly odd because he was like a born genius so he'd often get bored in class and get up to some weird sh**."

Infamous Turds

"He had a notoriety for shi**ing his pants at least once a day and was super casual about it."

"I remember I was behind him in the hall one day when I saw a massive turd plop out of his short legs. He looked back at it and just kept on strutting."

Down to Earth Personality 

"Collected earthworms when it rained (in the pouch of his hoodie...) and then laid them out in the schoolyard, spelling his own name. He cried when he saw that it had been scraped from the pavement the next day."

"By that time he was around thirteen."

"Predictably, people (we) started calling him 'worm-kid.' He got expelled around a year later, for throwing a fistful of earth at a teacher."

Curious From an Early Age

"When we were about 15, Harrison (we were all addressed by our surnames) decided one day to wrap his penis in adhesive tape during a biology lesson. I can't remember why, nor how he managed to remove it, but I was impressed."

"He also held the record for stabbing into the desk between each finger of his outstretched hand with a compass (a very sharp point) as fast as possible, despite hitting a finger at least once."

"He later became a distinguished surgeon."

Non-discerning Chompers

"There was this guy, in class below me, who just ate everything."

"Once he went to the front of the classroom where the sink thingy is, took a big stack of paper towels back to his place and just started eating it mid-lesson."

"Another time he drank a Capri Sun in class and when he was finished he just ate the package with straw and everything."

"The weirdest thing was when he ate a toy car the teacher brought to show something. He just sat in front of the teachers desk took the car from it and swallowed it without saying anything."

-- Fochiler

Incognito Kid

"He would put on sunglasses and stare at girls' chests. It was obvious." -- archSkeptic

"Peep 'n creep" -- BigHairyStallion_69

YIKES

"Cut himself in class, waited for the blood to congeal a bit then ate it."

"Years later he got arrested for stabbing someone."
