RandomAnthony | 14536 comments So today I ate lunch in the cafeteria. I normally avoid the cafeteria because 1) I'm an anti-social bastard, and 2) the food is pretty bad. But today I was in the mood to read Education Week (good article on RTI implementation in California) and I can read up there without anyone bothering me or sit with all the coaches and feel like I'm cool for the first time in my life. The coaches weren't around, or saw me first, so I sat by myself.

Oh, I'm off track. Where was I? Oh, so I'm going through the cafeteria line, getting my piece of pizza and cottage cheese, and I look over...and who do I see? A student who skipped my class this morning! Heh. I didn't say anything, but I saw she saw me, and she conferred with her friend, and then came over and said "I totally meant to email you this morning, I'm totally sick." And she did look pretty dead. And she's a good student normally. So no sweat. I felt like I totally had her busted, though.

Question...have you ever caught anyone for something minor, like stealing cookies in the staff kitchen, etc., or been caught doing the same yourself?

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i do all the IT stuff for where i work and i find where people have trolled porn stuff lots on company computers. i usually say something like "hey uncle pervy, might want to keep your smut mongering at home". these guys don't even try to cover any tracks or delete anything.

In 1977 I was temporarily jailed on a trumped-up fraud charge.

I cashed a check at the bank and they "unwittingly" (yeah, right...) gave me a counterfeit $20 bill, which I in turn used to pay for a tank of gas.

The rest is history.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Hmmmm.... me get caught for something bad? No, never.

Well, except for skipping out on high school seminary (I hated that class) to make out with my bf in his truck, and got called to the office later. I told them I was really sick and had to sit in the quiet until it was gone. Then later in the year I got my first hickey and my Dad saw it and I said I had an accident in gym with a hockey stick. Oh, and then I got caught forging my Dad's signature to skip class all day. And then there was the time.... yea, I think I'll stop now. Boy, those were the days. :)

smetchie | 4034 comments After my 1st daughter was born I went back to work full time so I had to pump at work. I forgot to lock the door one time and a male co-worker walked in on me. I know it's not getting caught doing something wrong but it was certainly awkward. More for him, I think. We've never spoken of it. :)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments We have a special pump room at work, too. Hardly anyone uses it. Sometimes I read in there.


Tim (Mole) The Gunslinger (Mole) Your not suppose to get caught doing bad things what fun is that?

Ivan My friend Mark at work would get food from the cafeteria and not pay for it (he'd just walk out with a group). Then, when we'd get to the table, he'd pray before digging in. I always wanted to ask (but never did) if he was praying not to choke on the food he'd just stolen.

I almost called in to work one day with the excuse that I had to take my elderly mother to an doctor's appointment. Even after I'd arrived at work, I was still thinking of lying and saying that she'd called and needed me to leave work at take her.....and then she suddenly appeared at my job: "I had a doctor appointment next door and thought we could have lunch" - I almost dumped a loaf in my britches!

Dario | 63 comments My family had this rule no video games on Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and Saturdays (still followed to this day) so when I was young and innocent the worst thing I ever did (not anymore) was to play my VD's then in secret. Needless to say eventually I got caught.

In third grade, I was sitting bored in class one day so I took out my scissors and cut a chunk of my hair. I get home and my mother freaks out. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR? Did SOMEONE CUT YOUR HAIR?" So of course I deny knowing anything about it. My mother assumes that another child cut my hair without my knowledge. She calls my teacher to complain.

The next day the teacher asks me to come to the front of the class. She puts her arm around me comfortingly and says, "Yesterday someone cut LG's hair. If you did this, you need to tell right now. Did anyone cut LG's hair?" Long, dead silence.

I go back to my seat. The girl next to me leans over and whispers, "I saw you cut your hair." I whispered, "I did not! You didn't see me!"

She kept her mouth shut forever. It remained secret for years, and years, and years.

Ken (playjerist) | 721 comments There’s a photo taken of me surreptitiously circulating on the internet in which I can be seen eating a salad with the wrong fork. Those TMZ motherfuckers.

Shameful.

Brittomart Hmmm, let's see. Have I been caught doing anything other than when I got caught masturbating when I was 5?

Well, I don't know if this counts as getting caught, but in the 8th grade, there was this redneck asshole that got on everyone's nerves, and he would always target me specifically. One day, we were playing some game in class, like where when we got a fact correct, we had to move up a seat or something, I dunno. well, I guess I was moving too slowly for this jerk's taste, and I said, "Shut up, you dirty motherfucker." I thought I was quiet, but the whole room (including my teacher) heard me, and no one moved for awhile 'cause apparently (my friends say) I had this look on my face like I was going to smack him in the face.

But he deserved it! I kept staring at him, and he kept whining to the teacher, saying, "Mr. White! Aren't you gonna write her up for that? Everyone heard her. Huh? Oh, so she gets to do that, but if I did something like that, I'd get sent to the office." My teacher just moved right along.

Being a good girl pays off sometimes!

Brittomart Oh, and why do I picture RA sitting in a room, reading a book with a woman beside him pumping breast milk...and it's not even a problem.

Phil | 11837 comments I'm sure I got caught at least once picking my nose in grade school. No biggie, since most kids got caught doing the same.

Dario | 63 comments My teacher hates when I play with a set of magnets I have of fold origami.

I don't understand why I, and everyone around me, thinks that this brings fun and joy to the world.
