Did anyone ever tell the teacher in private? Evidently this is a lot more common then I thought, I've never seen a teacher question why some girl is taking their bag.
I had a few make teachers do it, but with the exception of one prick who did it on purpose, they simply slipped and said never mind almost immediately.
I got asked sooooo many times. Once at religion, because our religion teacher was very nosy, after two weeks the boys started to take their bags too. He eventually stopped asking every single girl why they took their bag and if they really needed to go.
I had one kid who took his bag but didn't get asked, so when he came back he asked the teacher why he asked girls. Then he started saying how the teacher knew why and needed to back off. The teacher never asked us again.
I had a teacher who was such an out of this world masogynist that he would let guys leave to "handle their business" whenever they asked. Girls had to wait for the pass because we were "built to hold it better"
A girl in my class was pregnant and started having contractions and he actually asked her to wait for the pass to come back.
He "retired" after that year.
I would always just say, "Well I have this thing called a VAGINA and every once in a while it gets a little..." And they'd stop me there and let me go :) problem solved
I have no shame, I would just whip out the pad/tampon whatever and just carry that with me to the bathroom. But I agree it's jackass behavior to ask when it's so obvious
I was asked this like all the time in middle school. Usually i just said, "because I'm on my period" but one time a substitute wouldn't let me go until I showed him what was in the bag, so I dumped out all the tampons, pads, and ibuprofen, and he let me go. He looked kinda embarrassed.
Did this to a new english teacher once. He tried to institute a system where you get four tickets, and you use one each time you go during class. After that, it's detention every time. If you don't use any tickets, it's four points of extra credit on the final. So I innocently asked him, "What if I'm a woman?" He didn't get it, so I went on, "Well, once every month, ladies have this little thing where we involuntarily bleed out of our lady bits." He turned red, and told us we should hold it. All the girls in the room just burst out laughing.
He dropped the policy later on.
When I was 15 I asked my science teacher to go to the bathroom, when I got there I found out I had just had my first period. I had to go all the way to the nurses office to get a pad and when I got back to class the teacher was yelling at me for taking so long, just ripping into me. Well being raised by a strong woman I wasn't going to take it so I just yelled back "I'm bleeding out of my vagina!", I've never seen a man crumple up and turn red like a deflated balloon, and that was the end of the. Never be ashamed to call assholes out especially about something as natural as a period.
It's not ass-holish to be mad about student taking too long, you should have had a note or something if you didn't want that obvious reaction. You were very much the asshole in that situation.
Shove it garlog your a wanker. We don't have notes were I'm from, it's perfectly fine to go to the bathroom and any ADULT could have calmly asked first why I took so long, you don't just start yelling at someone, it's called manners. Maybe you should get some.
"Shove it garlog your a wanker."
Nice ad hominem.
"We don't have notes were I'm from"
Where are you from that doesn't have paper and pens?
"it's perfectly fine to go to the bathroom"
That's obviously not the issue.
"any ADULT could have calmly asked first why I took so long, you don't just start yelling at someone"
I don't know the situation in the school, maybe they had a big problem with people skipping out or doing drugs or something.
"it's called manners. Maybe you should get some."
I have those, I just prefer to use them sparingly.
Nice non-answer, I'll take that as you admitting you were wrong.
Also, are you implying that typing "boring", with lots of "o"s in it, along with an unnecessary caret is any more entertaining?
"you can take it as a unicorn sandwich for all I care"
Excellent, victory is mine then.
"you are. Boring, borning and boorish"
I'm interesting enough for you to continue to reply.
I used to go into crazy detail. It happened so often to my friend she one brought a "blood stain pair of undies" back and left them on the desk of the teacher. Teachers kept away from us, and she became my best friend x
If girls didn't always use it as an excuse to talk on their cell phone in the bathroom for the rest of class teachers wouldn't have to be so suspicious.
