This is a question Schadenfreude

There's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

Teacher folly
Sudo's post reminded me:

The deputy head at my old school could be a bit of an arse; never really to me as I was one of the rugby lads which granted you immunity, but definitely to a lot of my friends. Overzealous persecution which in some cases amounted to bullying; when you're a kid and it's a teacher that's harassing you, there isn't a huge amount that can be done.
I understand the position that teachers are in, as I'm now one, albeit not in the UK system, but being a prick just for the sake of it is inexcusable.

Imagine the surprise and glee that spread amongst my friends as this made it's way round our various inboxes.

Kinda puts smoking by the playing fields in to perspective, eh. *Edit* No drugs, second lives, manwhoring - detention for you, Tim, 200 lines "I must not be a sociopathic arsehat"

'No evidence of drug use' .

So basically your story comes down to to 'my old teacher liked the ladies and told the odd fib to get a go on them', good job no other straight bloke has ever done something like this in order to sleep with a woman or you might look a bot of an arse here, eh?

No, no, no, Mr Badger
Lies aren't the issue here. It's the rather spectacular way in which he was caught out that tickled us. Go read the original post again, taking note of:

"Overzealous persecution which in some cases amounted to bullying; when you're a kid and it's a teacher that's harassing you, there isn't a huge amount that can be done."

Hence where the schadenfreude kicks in. Leave the arsebots out of it.

*edit* but cheers for pointing out the no drugs bit - didn't realise this, as I hadn't gone through the whole site.

pffft
No problems with the rugby fella, as I said, I was one of the rugby lads. It'd be the mates who were hounded by this muppet that bore the brunt of his crap.

What's the matter? Has snoogums got some sand in their vagina?

Not all..
..but if you're going to use the Daily Fail as basis for your stories, then it's probably advisable to do 2 minutes' extra research to see if there's any actual grounding in reality for the story.

Not that THAT normally stops anyone posting here mind..

C'est bon?
Maybe sort out the grammar/spelling? Nothing worse than trying to make a point in a spirit that most definitely isn't Christmas-based, and then looking like someone gave a monkey a keyboard.

*ahem* Schadenfreude anyone?

Ah but.........
Our loving mustelid is the arbiter of all that is good on the B3TA board, appointed by.......errm.
Who did appoint him?

He appointed himself.
No-one else wanted to do it.

'not in the Christmas spirit' is the best justification for jumping on the waaambulance I have ever seen.

Why thank you!
May I enquire as to what crawled up your vagina to get you in such a state? Death of a loved one? Significant other left you? Realised that you'll be alone this Friday due to being a bit of a cnut?

It's tough this time of year - I understand, I really do. Gaz me if you'd like to talk about it, and just let it all out. I barely know you, in fact we just got chatting today, but I feel there's just some kind of connection there. Maybe you'll find it easier since we're strangers, who knows?
I know we can beat this aggression and rage if we work together.

Much love, I really hope you get through this

I'll just sit here and quietly fume.
Considering I've met the man in question and he struck me as nothing but the perfect gentleman.
