The LA-based animator asked her Twitter followers, “What’s something a teacher did that still makes you mad?” and boy did she get a response.

Over 6000 people have shared the scarring experiences they’ve had with teachers, and some are just damn right hilarious.

In kindergarten, we had a coloring book assignment and when the teacher came by, she yelled at me and tore my coloring page to shreds because I colored one of the dogs blue... This was before blues clues was a thing.

My senior english teacher rearranged the chairs literally every day. Everybody made fun of him for it pretty obviously. One day I walked in and said "haha tomorrow they'll be on the ceiling" and I became the only person he ever sent to the principal's office.

In the equivalent of elementary school, a teacher tied my left hand to a desk and forced me to learn how to write with the right, cause of superstitious shit.

In the 4th grade a teacher hyped up pajama day, in which we were gonna bring blankets and snacks and read, and the day before we had a sub who claimed we were too loud so she cancelled PJ day and spent the whole day talking about how awesome it was gonna be and I’m still salty

Twitter user Alexandra Gallant got her revenge on a teacher who believed website coding wasn’t for girls.

Told me coding wasn’t for “people like me” (aka girls), so I taught myself instead. Just to prove a point, created a whole website for final project, Everyone else did powerpoint. “This is just a Website you used, where’s your project?” “No, I made it, it has my name on it.” “Oh”

And well, Caroline, we hope this teacher didn’t crush your sock-puppeting dream.

A high school longterm sub wanted us to “be super creative” in our presentation of the book,A Picture of Dorian Gray,so I did a really elaborate and thought out sock puppet show.She gave me a B-and told me next time I “wanted to be creative,I should really talk to her beforehand”
