Today, I chaperoned a school dance. A song I knew came on, and, wanting to be the fun teacher, I danced around a little. The students then pointed and laughed. I graduated in '87 and high school still hurts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was chaperoning at my local high school's Homecoming dance. Outside the gym, I saw some kids drinking, so I walked over to stop them. One of them promptly spun around and punched me in the mouth. I had my ass handed to by a drunk 9th grader. FML
Today, in gym class, we were forced to learn the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, by Miley Cyrus. This will actually be counted toward my grade. I'm in high school. FML
Today, I played in a high school concert. Some alumni of the band were sitting in the audience and were brought to tears. Not because it was beautiful, but because they were sad to see how much the music program had declined since they left. FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, we had my school musical. The girls have to wear long skirts. I had a thong on, and while we were dancing the guy behind me stepped on my skirt. It fell to my ankles... the whole audience saw my ass. FML
Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML
Today, they played Nickelback at our school dance. FML
Today, I went to my first ever party as a freshman, with friends from my dorm. There was a dance floor, and despite never having danced in public before, I put my best efforts into my dance moves… only to end up dislocating my knee. It's safe to say I won't be winning any dance contests anytime soon. FML
Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
Today, I went to my little cousin's school to pick her up and it happened to be my old elementary school. I saw my old teacher and went up to say hi, and after a few minutes she goes "Aren't you the girl who's dad always came in drunk on parent's day?" Nice to know that's how I'm remembered. FML

Any publicity is good publicity, right?

Well, OP graduated the year before my parents... and if they're anything alike, there will be some popping, definitely some locking, and then some dropping - straight to the floor

The real question is why would you go back? I mean there's tons of other professions out there and yet you chose the one you absolutely hated.

Yes, but this time, not getting laid by a cheerleader is not just an episode of typical teenage angst, it will keep your ass out of jail. If you had the moves like Jagger, you might end up with a night of carnal pleasure, but 5-10 in the hoosegow (where child molesters are at the bottom rung of the prison food chain.)

Back in HS they had the moves like jagger, now they just have the moobs like jabba.

It's always funny to see the teacher dance, I'm sure. Try not to take it as a direct insult, just and inevitable effect of being a middle aged adult dancing in a room of 15-year-olds.
chippa 24
She's NOT middle aged. She's 25.
Grimmerie 31
OP graduated the year she was born?! That's amazing!
Pretty_Pink_Lady 10
Yeah I forgot that you should always assume people are infant geniuses. My bad, 11.

The OP graduated in 1987. Most likely he/she is 42/43.
chippa 24
Yes, that was stupid of me. What was I thinking? *sinks into my chair*

High school never ends, my friend.

High five for the BFS reference. But seriously OP, I feel bad for you man. High school is full of utter jackasses.
perdix 31
You didn't do The Elaine, with the thumbs and the kicks. It looks like a full-body dry heave.
