"During one of the lunch periods..."

"I like to refer to this as simply "The Day" from high school."

"During one of the lunch periods, some guys who had issues with each other started brawling in the cafeteria. The lunch monitors and on duty cop for the high school weren't able to stop them as it was 5 or 6 rather large dudes. So reinforcements get called and 4 or 5 squad cars whip into the parking lot and the cops run into the school. They get into the cafeteria and start breaking up the fight that 1/3rd of the school (~400) is watching at this point. One of the guys breaks free from the cops hold after only getting one wrist cuffed and started sprinting away. The cop realized he wasn't going to catch up so he shot and hit the kid with a taser. The kid dropped immediately."

"While that was going on, a kid decided that during that lunch period would be the perfect time to smoke in one of the bathrooms a bit away from the cafeteria. This wouldn't have been much of a issue if he would have been smoking tobacco, but homeboy was on that wacky tabacky. So what else is a high teen supposed to think when they hear squad car sirens whipping into the parking lot other than, "OH SHIT THEY'RE GONNA GET ME!". So he needs to get rid of the evidence. Unfortunately, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the crayon box. So instead of flushing it or washing it down the sink, he throws his lit joint into the garbage can which, at this point in the day, is full of now dried paper towel that all catches fire. The kid freaks out and kicks the trashcan over sending flaming paper towel everywhere setting the bathroom on fire and books it. As far as I know, no one ever was able to figure out who decided to get the bathroom blazed with him."

"While that was going on, a math class was winding down and people were working on their homework before they got to go to their lunch period. A girl calmly raised her hand. The teacher asked her what her question is and she said, "Um, I think my water just broke." The teacher bolted into action called the office and said they need an ambulance stat as he has a student going into labor (Pregnancies were . . . not uncommon at the school). He, being a father himself and having gone through this process with his wife, began leading the girl in breathing exercises until two paramedics showed up to the room. They came in, got on each side of the girl, hooked their arms under hers, and lifted her completely off the ground before moving as quickly and safely as they could out of the room. I do believe she was able to make it to the hospital to deliver a healthy baby."

"All of this happened between 11:40a and 12:10p. Everyone knew about all the separate events by the end of the day."

"Started working swing..."

"Started working shift swing for a company. I wanted to work mornings but I took the job because the pay was good and you could get a position on the morning crew whenever someone leaves. Work there for 2 years and climb my way up the list of seniority. I get word that there is an opening on the morning shift. A few days later, one of our drivers loses his license so they move him into the open morning position since he can't drive. I would have fired him but it's whatever. A few months later, another position opens up shortly after a coworker below my seniority has a nervous breakdown. So to reduce their stress they move them to the vacant position in the morning. Shortly after that, another coworker below my seniority goes to the manager and basically says if he doesn't get a morning position he's going to quit. Manager gives him a position that wasn't supposed to be open for several more months."
