Amazon Water Park
Ah yes the buddy system, is there anything it can't do it's utterly flawless. This is a story I remember really quite fondly as it was so amusing to me and so distressing to others.

First year of high school, and for some reason, I forget why now, I think it was some sort of end of year celebration, they decided to take us all on a trip to amazon water park. Amazons is the no frills version of wet n' wild waterpark that costs about a third of the price at the sacrifice of safety which I always found rather funny but it wasn't the lack of safety equipment or regulations that put a damper on this trip.

The day was much as you would expect quite alot of fun. For security the teaching staff had decided to opt for the ever foolproof buddy system and me and my buddy were getting along pretty well, we were to arrive at the meeting place with our buddies at 2.55 pm meaning we should have left at 2.50 but we decided that we could reach the end of the queue for a waterslide and be back in time for 3pm and the extra five minutes really wouldn't matter because well, what were they going to do about it, so that's what we did.

We found it awfully strange that there didn't seem to be anyone at the meeting place and after about 10-15 minutes of waiting there still wasn't, so we went to the waterpark's office and told we had apparantly been left behind. So they called the school (several times before they got through)and eventually after a good half hour or so of what I assume was either them arguing with one another or sitting around with their thumbs in their asses they decided to send the society and environment teacher and my english teacher in her personal vehicle to pick us up. Me and my buddy passed the time playing air hockey and having a pretty good time, took them a good 45 minutes to get there, lazy bastards.

I see Mrs. Anderson my English teacher waddle her fat ass in the gates of the park with a fury in her eyes which I found most amusing. In the most bemused tone I could muster I said, "G'Day Mrs. Anderson what are you doing here?"
"This is NO TIME FOR COLLOQUIALISM'S STUMPS I AM FURIOUS" this statement put the broadest grin on my mouth, my buddy however didn't find this at all amusing he couldn't stand the injustice of it all that they would have the audacity to blame us for their blatant neglegence, and finally when Mrs. Anderson continually repeated "This is all your own fault boys no one to blame but yourselves" he couldn't take it and said "DIDN'T YOU GUYS DO A HEAD COUNT AT THE BUS?!?!?" this brought on one of the funniest responses I've ever heard. You have to imagine the accusatory and angry tone that was used when Mrs. Anderson retorts "YES WE DID!! AND WE WERE TWO SHORT!!!" at this I just burst out laughing whilst my buddy asked how it was that they had decided to leave whilst being two students short to which he never got a response.

She hated me and my buddy so much it was hilarious, I recall the car trip her forcing us to lay down towels such that we wouldn't touch her precious seats and her screaming at the other guy "DON'T SNEEZE IN MY CAR!" as a post note this same car got scratched on school grounds later on and everyone thought it was me because I hated that fat bitch so much, as it happens, it wasn't me but I always did want to shake the man's hand.
