IDK why, but this reminded me of something thay happened when I was in highschool... I was a goth kid. One day I drew a pentagram on my hand and the vice principal came up to me at lunch and started asking about it and I got all indignant about religious freedom and shit thinking he was gonna tell me its not school appropriate. I finish my rant and he just goes "I just wanted to point out that it's not satanic in that direction. You need to flip it around."

Such an obvious lie too, it's almost like they wanted to get caught.

Wait, did we get engagement baited?

Maybe inflation is just that bad, but there was no way I'd have $10 in high school (96-99). I barely had money to eat lunch, maybe $1 some days. I didn't swear anyway back then (grew up JW), but a $10 fine would have made parents flip their shit.

A school fining students for swearing is the most believable part of this story to me. I don't think I ever saw fines for swearing but we had fines for chewing gum, dress code violations etc. I 100% believe a school would implement this exact policy. And I agree it's pretty fucked up and classist to fine children.

At least it's bot even a funny story

A cunt, I called you a cunt sir. It's Australian.

that's the joke
