A long time ago1) I called a teacher at school "dad" by mistake.
I'm still waiting for the ground to swallow me up.
2) Some bloke I was at school with had an unfortunate birthmark that looked like a large brown mess on his knee. This chap was quite sensitive about this and everything else you could possibly think of, so naturally he was a bit fragile. One day after games, evrybody was going through the showers to clean themselves up, and a pervy PE teacher was hanging around, to make sure that veryone had cleaned up properly. When the bloke with the birthmark came out, the teacher saw his birthmark and screamed "What the fuck are you playing at *****?! Get back in the fucking showers, and wipe that fucking shit off your knee, you dirty little bastard!" No-one was that embarassed, but it was quite funny and we didn't really like him very much.
