Teachers Be Crazy

took me a moment to remember that rubber means eraser to you guys, not condom

I thought of another one, in the "unprofessional but not really abusive or anything" category.
The school had Boys bathrooms and Girls bathrooms on each floor, and also Staff Only bathrooms, but only one per floor and it was only a single facility. Since this was completely stupid and I had the same five minutes between classes that the students had (I was a teacher), I just used the nearest Boys bathroom. Apparently it was quite unusual for a teacher to even step into the Boys bathroom, because they were always smoking in there, both tobacco and non-tobacco. They'd scatter, all the toilets would flush, breath mints would come out... I didn't care. I wasn't there to bust anyone; I just needed to pee.
The common strategy for those smoking non-tobacco seemed to be "drop it on the floor and they can't prove it was yours." A couple of times they would do this and then exit quickly while I was doing what I came there to do, leaving me in an empty bathroom with a few half-smoked non-tobacco cigarettes on the floor. Obviously in my role as teacher, it was my duty to confiscate it all, but I don't remember anything in the teacher's handbook about what to do with it after that. I'd moved halfway across the country to teach at this place and hadn't established any connections yet, so this actually worked out pretty well.
One time one of my "Math 1" students missed a test due to illness and was back on the day we were going over the answers and stuff, so he had to sit out in the hallway to make up the test. Later I went out there to check on him (and make sure he was actually still there) and he was just finishing. From sitting on the floor against the lockers, with his legs up so he could use his books as a "desk" a few things had fallen out of his pockets, including a nice little ceramic pipe. He stood up and handed me the test, and I told him he'd lost something, and pointed down. "Uh... that's not mine" he said, but I just said "Neil, pick up your bowl. It's too nice to just leave there."
Honestly, I was just there to teach math. If they wanted me to be a cop too, they needed to pay me more. And yeah, I could've confiscated it, but... I don't know. In that moment, the rules of the "community" seemed to override my supposed obligation to bust kids.

I'm sure Japanese-American Jewish girls exist, I wonder if there are any "Japanese JAPs".

Yes. My first semester in the dorms was spent with this one, who kept an extra toothbrush to scrub the vomit off her shoes after a night out and screamed at her boyfriend on the phone for an hour because the necklace he got her for her birthday wasn't from Tiffany. Her mom was the tiniest, sweetest old Japanese lady and her dad was a happy nerdy Jewish guy from NY. I can't imagine how happy they must have been to send her away to college :/

I'm not surprised at her shittiness, I'm surprised her boyfriend stuck with her for a whole hour (also I guess that she managed to think of an hour's worth of insults for a nice present).

Times like these I can be happy I was home schooled. Although, sex-ed was very awkward, so we will pretend like it didn't happed.
