I was asked yesterday by one of the students if she could practice her singing in my room (the server room) for the school talent show later that morning... she's one of my favourite kids in the school so I would've had no problem with it (especially not when it was my last day there too :p) but I had to say no as my manager would've looked on it less kindly! She won anyway :)

Had some of the not so smart kids ask me for the following.

 

Long weights

Sky hooks

Skirting board ladders

Left handed screw drivers

Left handed pens

Tartan paint

 

I know someone was having a laugh but really are the kids so thick?!

Got a new one!

 

Teacher asked: "I've just got a new car, and I wondered if you knew the code for the Radio as it's not working."

 

Facepalm :(

Hehe.

Reminds me, one of our teachers got a new car and asked if if I could show her how to open the fuel cap, and the bonnet...and how to check the oil and top up the water, what all the bits on the indicator sticks did..and etc etc...

Not sure how she even made it into school that day. :)

That is truly outstanding!

Had some genius ones recently

 

  • Since there is a speed of light and a speed of sound, is there a speed of smell?
  • Are there a lot of virgins in the Virgin Islands?
  • Do crematoriums give discounts to burn victims?
  • What is the diameter of a square?
  • Do vampires get AIDS?
  • Does that screwdriver belong to Phillip?
  • Where is Old Zealand?
  • Why do we call something sent by car a shipment and something sent by ship a cargo?

I got asked by a student if there was a flasher in the office that she could use.

 

She meant a 'Flashgun' for the digital SLR.

 

Poor girl went away quite embarrassed after she realised.

Sky hooks

You don't happen to have those rope/display cords that go across the top of classrooms? I believe they are called skydisplays by some so hooks for them would make sense.... Edited by p858snake

Could I remove some sandwiches that had been rammed into a VCR player?

 

Do I know how to break into a car if they have lost their remote blipper and keys.

 

Could I go and change someones car battery?

 

Could I mend someones glasses whose lens had fallen out.

 

 

 

The answer was no to all of them ;)

I've helped remove unwanted birds (a pigeon and an unspecified small bird) from an outlying building. I say help; i mean chase ineffectually until aformentioned bird decides to leave anyway!

I hope you didn't.... Thats classed as a biohazard and requires special training apparently, same as blood.

 

No chance! I did help rescue the bat though. He was trapped under a pipe, bless.
