The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

My college was shitI once took a class with a girl who:
- only wore full-length, Amish-style blue dresses, which she sewed herself
- knit immense sweaters during class
- would viciously shred to bits any worksheet you handed to her too quickly
- frequently sobbed hysterically during lectures (rather distracting, this)
- listened only to classical music, read only pre-1900 books and had no knowledge of pop culture
- had a very strong aversion to EastEnders that caused her to leave the room in a panicked fit when someone mentioned it
Was she extremely religious, part of some weird cult or just dealing with some mysterious issues? Nobody knew, as we were all too timid to ask her about it.
Of course, this meant she was frequently baited by the class psychopath, who often engaged her in lively debates about hard drugs until he quit class entirely to drink or swear angrily at strangers or something. I often wondered which one of them would be more likely to do a school shooting. Or which would be the first.
