School Sports Day
At some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

Be nice....
Oi, you lot slating Stusut, Brady, Jindod and any other of the more surreal posters here, stop it, eh?
Is not variety the spice of life?
I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but there are some amongst us that enjoy reading the aforementioned posters QOTW responses. Lets face it they're alot more interesting/entertaining than dull, average tales of high school/adolescent life in middle america that seem to be more and more prevalent here these days.
If you don't like the posts... don't read them (the x in the top right hand corner of the browser window might help).
Hang on... I'm sinking... oh look, there's Gomi non sensi, Azra3l and infiniteZenMaster coming into view.
OK, I'll put my handbag away now and get on with this shit day at work.
