"There Are No Consequences If You're Rich": People Are Sharing The Biggest Scandal From Their High School That Still Lives Rent-Free In Their Minds
Everyone remembers at least one scandal that occurred during their high school years. The degree of said incident can range in seriousness, but sometimes a scandal is just so wild, it sticks in a person's mind WAY after graduation... That's why when Redditor u/Deeznaps asked, "What scandal from high school still lives rent free in your mind?" thousands of people flooded the comment section with the high school scandals they'll NEVER forget. Without further ado, here are 18 of their most shocking stories: If your high school had a scandal you'll never forget, feel free to tell us about it using this anonymous form! 1."On the last day of school in 1997, my high school civics teacher went inside the school building and was never seen again. There is footage of him walking into the building from the teachers' parking lot, but he does not appear on the video footage from the inside of that very entrance — it's like he literally disappeared while entering the building." "He was also my junior and senior year homeroom teacher, and everyone thought it was super weird that he wasn't in the classroom that day because he always got there extra early. Since I knew we had to have attendance submitted to the office or we would all be counted absent, I went down the hall and told one of the other teachers so he could take our attendance. Ultimately, he was never seen or heard from again. The police conducted a huge investigation, and I heard (but I don't know for sure) that the FBI got involved. As far as I know, he didn't have any skeletons in his closet, not even a parking ticket, no enemies, no particular reason to disappear. He just suddenly stopped existing, best anyone could tell." —u/CParksAct Related: 2."My high school had an awesome computer club, especially considering it was the '90s, but it was hard to get into...I know because I tried constantly with no luck." "In my senior year, the teacher in charge of it and some students were arrested for counterfeiting money. The older I get, the more I can't understand why an adult would team up with teenagers to do such a thing." —u/OhTheHueManatee 3."We had an assistant principal whom everyone disliked and spread rumors about. It turned out that his estranged father was John Jamelske, was one of the most prolific serial killers ever caught." "This all came to light, directly followed by a near career-ending scandal, when a student found an article about his dad's arrest in 2003, printed out hundreds of copies, and redecorated all the hallways of the school with them." —u/BlottomanTurk 4."We had an undercover cop at school who arrested a kid for selling drugs. When asked who his supplier was, he named several of the 'cool' teachers whom everyone liked. They were suspended pending investigation, but nothing came of it except that the entire school walked out and had a gigantic picket line that ended up on the news." "Years later, I learned from a guy who had been on the football team that it was actually true. The teachers had been getting drugs for kids for spring break trips and did the drugs along with them." —u/Ok_Hospital_4713 5."I was the scandal: Every day at school, a notice would be read, 'Please return the screws from the desks, you will not get in trouble, leave them at the office.' It was me. I was unscrewing and stealing all the desk screws." "I had a pencil case full of screws…and no desk lid was attached solidly to a desk. It was my way of acting out because other bad stuff was going on in my life." —u/UnusualSoup 6."In high school, we got new laptop carts, which were basically carts on wheels to hold laptops and a printer that you could roll around to different classrooms. One time, who I thought was a teacher in another room, printed her emails on the cart printer by mistake. I picked them up thinking it was my paper. They were NOT." "It was six pages of spicy emails between the teacher and principal, who were both married and not to each other! They were NASTY. I originally thought it was the teacher who printed them, but I found out later it was a kid in her class snooping on her computer when she left the room. He was trying to print them so he could show everyone." —[deleted] Related: 7."The day of the bloody doorknobs: One random day the bell rang and we all poured into the hallways like normal, but it became quickly apparent that nothing was normal..." "Someone had taped used maxi pads to every single doorknob — at least 50 used pads covering every conceivable entry point. There were so many that you could actually smell them. Needless to say, this sent the crowd of teenagers into a frenzy. Our teachers had a hell of a time reigning us in while also being unwilling to touch the pads. After what seemed like forever (probably less than three minutes), a janitor appeared wearing gloves and pushing a trash cart. He unceremoniously went door by door, yanking the pads off the handles, spritzing them with some spray, and half-heartedly wiping them before moving down the hall to the next door, and acting like it was just a normal day. The mystery naturally spread like wildfire. This was 1995, so the school didn't have security cameras yet, and as far as I'm aware, the culprit was never discovered, never claimed responsibility, or made any mention of a 'message' or such. Speculation raged, with everything from a student protest or a cry for attention to a kid playing a prank. The amount of pads used required a good bit of 'saving up' to prepare. We all figured if it was some sort of feminist statement and that the culprit would eventually release some sort of manifesto or other 'here's why that happened' type silence was all that followed." —u/MaestroLogical 8."A girl in high school faked cancer for three years. She'd shave her head in the bathroom and have people push her to class in a wheelchair (me included). She skipped over half the school year for two years because of 'appointments.' She was voted Prom Queen and even had a fundraiser held in her honor, which raised $10k towards medical bills." "She was only caught because her fake doctors' notes listed her primary care physician as 'Gary Sinise.'" —u/biglog14 9."There was a kid in my grade who was a super popular jock. During gym class one day, he decided to moon a group of popular girls. He turned around, pulled down his shorts, and simultaneously sh*t himself. The best part was that he was a total a-hole." "He definitely didn't mean to poop, but when he bent over and spread his cheeks, it kind of just fell out." —u/NUMBerONEisFIRST 10."'The great scavenger hunt:' A few friends put together a series of tasks that had point values and distributed them. A few of the 'tasks' were dangerous, gross, painful, etc. Somehow, two entire grades of kids were competing before long." "There was dumb stuff like eating a fly or licking a urinal, flicking the bully on the nose, getting a teacher to say f*ck (or other bad words worth fewer points), leaping down the entire stairwell to the bottom, faking a seizure during class, etc. Eventually, a teacher found the list of challenges (there were a ton of copies), and it became a huge issue. They held an assembly for everyone in two separate grades and tried to find out who started the game. They offered rewards for kids who came forward and accused the usual suspects, but nobody said a word, so nobody was punished. The game was remembered fondly and brought a lot of kids who previously weren't friends closer together, despite causing some injuries and embarrassment." —u/Herbdontana Related: 11."I went to an atypical high school located within a much larger athletic/office building/compound run by a large legacy company. The compound had a cafe and bar within it, and ran many different events that it catered food and drinks for, so it was licensed to serve alcohol." "In eleventh grade, a couple of kids in my grade figured out where the compound stored all their alcohol and managed to steal A LOT of alcohol. They probably could've gotten away with it, but they bragged so much about their accomplishment that eventually the teachers caught wind and reported it to the larger company. Bizarrely, I don't remember them actually getting in that much trouble. I think the school and company went the scare-tactics route of 'if we wanted to charge you with theft, which we very well could, you would be in a WHOLE lot of trouble, so just don't do it again.' This stunt became a local legend at the school and is still talked about seven years after we graduated. Suffice to say, the company has majorly stepped up how they secure their alcohol." —u/Dull-Can3885 12."AP class in high school: We were told very, very clearly that any cheating would result in a zero on tests/work. Come to find out, everyone but me and one other person (bottom rung people) cheated on one of the big tests. Huge fallout as the rest of the class would all fail, and it would affect their grades." "Cue enraged parents asking for a retest and no fail as it 'wasn't fair' to these students, as some would lose their place in the honor society/possibly affect future schooling/valedictorian, etc., and made such a fuss that they were granted a retest." —u/curlywirlygirly 13."I went to a private, all-boys, college-prep high school in the 80s. Tuition was very expensive, and you had to take an entrance exam to be admitted, so mostly high-achieving kids went there. Most of the guys were from wealthy families, but some of us just had parents who sacrificed a lot for us to go there. Anyway, they had a tradition of senior prank day that happened about a month prior to graduation. Not all seniors participated, but nearly all of the most popular (meaning rich and spoiled) guys did." "The year I graduated, the pranks escalated to a point where the seniors cost the school thousands in damages — things like removing all of the desks from classrooms and putting them on the gym floor, essentially destroying it, and super-gluing all the antique classroom door locks, which wasn't a cheap fix. I wasn't there, but a friend of mine was. There were other things, but those stuck out when he told me about it. After that, the school denied diplomas to all of the guys who participated. Later, I heard that a few were able to get the school to reverse that decision. All of a sudden, there was a brand new gymnasium building with remote control bleachers, central air, heated floors, and a slew of other bells and whistles built over the summer. It was named after one of the richest families in the school. All the other regular guys had to redo senior year for full tuition and work for the school after hours the whole year. It seems there are no consequences if you're rich. The guys who got out of it were the most entitled a-holes in the school to begin with, and they needed the lesson more than anyone. The injustice of the whole thing makes me sick to this day." —u/SoulDaddy 14."There was a party at one of the teachers' houses out in the country. The teacher's daughter was a senior at the time. A coach found out about it, told his players that he had a list of everyone who was there, and asked everyone to raise their hands if they were there. Most of the team raised their hands, so he felt a moral obligation to report it." "It spilled over into the other sports, and multiple games and track meets were canceled because there weren't enough players remaining to have the games. The teacher who hosted the party claimed that she didn't know it was happening. Like, ma'am, there was music blaring from your barn, more than forty cars on your front lawn most of the night, and a handful still there the next morning because people slept in them instead of driving home. She was completely full of sh*t but didn't receive any form of punishment. She was terrible to begin with, but a lot of people hated her afterwards because the kids were told they had to own up to their mistakes, but she got off scot-free." —u/OddPlunders 15."My senior year ('98), a large amount of money went missing from a rally fundraiser at the school. Due to the circumstances of how it happened, one of the janitors was accused and nearly lost their job over it. That's when the class president admitted to stealing the money because he felt guilty about the janitor losing their job over it." "Apparently, the president thought he could just pocket the money and people would let it be, but because it was a couple of thousand dollars, it wasn't going to get swept under the rug. The janitor kept their job, the class president got suspended for a period of time, obviously got removed from the student body, and was shunned by a lot of people. The sad part is that he was actually a likable guy across the student body. To this day, I don't know what he was thinking. He never left the town and now runs his own audio/video marketing business, and by all means, still seems to be that likable guy." —u/Word2DWise Related: 16."Our school charged $100 for a parking pass for the year. The parking pass was just a sticker with the school's logo and 'parking pass' written underneath it. A friend and I made one in Photoshop and went to Staples and printed off a ton of them for like $20. (Between the two of us, we made probably around $2,000-3,000.) We then sold them to people for $25. The school was obviously confused when there were 200 cars, yet they'd only sold a few dozen passes." "Someone ended up snitching, and my friend and I were both pulled into the office with a cop and the school staff, saying we owed the school all the money we'd made and needed to provide a list of everyone we'd sold them to. We just played dumb and pretended we had no clue what they were talking about, but we stopped selling them. That was the last we heard about it. Next year, passes were numbered, and when students bought one, they were assigned a number, so it put an end to the whole thing." —u/CakieFickflip 17."1999: I was a senior at a Catholic high school in Virginia. We had a new freshman enrolled who claimed to be Stephen Spielberg's nephew, 'Jonathan Spielberg.' He attended the school for a semester or two in order to 'conduct research for a film role,' ingratiating himself with the other ninth graders." "He received free tuition and special privileges from the principal, who was frequently seen walking through the halls with his arm across Jonathan's shoulders. The principal, who was a priest and former Navy Reserve chaplain, even gave up his own parking space so Jonathan could park his BMW with his 'Splberg' plates in the spot. Eventually, Jonathan stopped coming, and concerned administrators dug deeper into his file to contact him, his family, or his previous schools. Turns out, there was no Jonathan Spielberg. All the enrollment documents and transcripts were fake. He was actually a 28-year-old who lived locally with his mother in a small apartment. From memory, I think he was charged with fraud but given a suspended sentence and served no time. The principal, who was always an angry and mean man, was recused from his position at the end of the year when the Catholic order of priests he belonged to withdrew from the school, and he got promoted by the Navy." —u/No-Objective-4928 18."I went to an all-girls Catholic school, and my class only had 68 people in it. EXACTLY 34 of them were 'popular girls.' Preppy, sporty, rich (or at least into the rich aesthetic) girls who carried Coach bags and wore Uggs and makeup every day, etc. (This was the late 2000s)." "The OTHER half were 'weirdos' — nerds, theater kids, band geeks, art students, fandom people, those on scholarships, etc. In our senior year, as the school was preparing for prom, the popular girls decided they didn't want the same kind of prom the school had been doing for decades. Basically, our school had been renting the same old school restaurant function hall for as long as anyone could remember, and, since it was a Catholic school, there was a dress code (dresses had to pass the fingertip rule), no grinding was allowed, and there were a few teachers there as chaperones. This was considered distinctly uncool, so the popular girls lobbied to have the venue and rules changed. They wanted: a different venue, lights turned off for dancing, no dress code, no chaperones, and no 'clean' music rules. The school refused. In retaliation, the popular girls decided to throw their own ANTI-PROM at a large local hotel. They didn't invite anyone from the other half of the class. In the end, I think they conceded to having one or two parents act as chaperones, but they stayed out of the way/in a different area from where the anti-prom was happening. Because the school wasn't selling enough tickets to the 'real' prom, they almost had to cancel it. The weirdo half of the class was really sad and, in the end, I think some alumnae chipped in to make it happen." —u/maroontiefling Did any of these stories surprise you?

My wife pulled a humiliating prank at our wedding — now I want to punch everyone in the face
He went under the bride's dress, and couldn't get over what happened next. A groom's big day turned into doomsday after his new wife and a few friends pulled a 'trashy' trick that 'destroyed' his trust in the marriage and left him 'humiliated.' 'Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious,' groaned the gut-punched groom in an anonymous Reddit rant. The newlywed explained that the wedding planner convinced his bride and buddies to blindfold him for the garter belt toss. It's a risqué, controversial tradition during which the groom sexily removes an article of the bride's undergarments — with his hands, tongue or teeth — and throws it to a group of unmarried men for sport. But this guy's garter ordeal wasn't all fun and games. 'Sitting in the chair in place of my wife, my groomsman was in shorts with the garter around his thigh,' he whined. 'My wife stood behind him and was talking to me as they walked me over, to keep me fooled into thinking it was her.' 'On their instructions, I got down on my knees and began reaching for what I thought were my wife's legs,' continued the dope. 'Once I found the leg, I found the garter and began pulling it down. But at that moment, I heard my wife saying, 'With your mouth! With your mouth!' He had no clue they'd swapped his sweetheart for a dude. 'So I leaned forward and grasped the garter belt in my mouth, to the shrieks and applause of the crowd,' said the groom. 'With the garter in my teeth, I pulled it down his leg … Once I had the garter, they told me to stand up and take off my blindfold.' 'When I took off the blindfold, everyone burst into even louder laughter,' he recalled in misery. 'For a moment, the entire energy of everyone at the wedding was focused on nothing besides laughing at me, at me being the sole butt of the joke.' 'It felt awful.' And it seems awfully hard not to feel awful after being bamboozled during one of the biggest, most memorable moments of one's life. Be it the cake-smashing stunt or deliberately dunking the bride in a pool for a laugh, wedding day pranks often indicate glaring 'red flags' in the relationship. The garter-duped groom says the gag 'destroyed my trust and sense of intimacy' towards his wife. Committed to keeping spirits high during the nuptials, the embarrassed gent plastered a phony smile on his face for the duration of the reception party, 'sucking up' his shame. But once on their honeymoon, he hit his bride with the 'harsh' truth about the embarrassing hoax. 'After at first apologizing a bit, she got upset and left me sitting out there,' he confessed. 'I think I just kept going because I felt hurt and wanted to maybe make her feel bad as well, to be honest.' 'Since then, it's been a difficult subject,' added the wounded. 'I've told her I don't want to hear about the wedding. I don't want to write thank you notes, look at pictures. If it was tomorrow, I wouldn't make plans to celebrate our anniversary.' But she is not the object of the grudge-holding groom's ire. Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious byu/JacksonRyder2025 inAITAH 'Watching the video, I find myself looking at the laughing faces of family and friends, and there's a part of me — that I'd never act on — that wants nothing more than to punch them all in their faces,' he said, also admitting that he now 'can't stand' the groomsmen who pretended to be the bride for the joke. 'I literally cannot stop my mind from replaying it over and over, and I get mad again every time,' the grump grumbled. 'I tell myself sometimes it was assault because I was tricked into putting my mouth on another man's leg [without] my consent.' A faction of social media sympathized agree with the groom's unyielding anger, urging him to seek therapy, consult a divorce attorney and consider suing the wedding planner for masterminding the mess. However, other, less compassionate commenters suggested the sulking sap 'wash the sand out of [his] vagina' and let it go, to which the tickled groom laughed, 'Ha. Fair play.'

Mother-in-Law Schedules Visit to Meet 1-Week-Old Grandchild 'Without Asking' 'Exhausted' Mom — and Brings 'a Stranger Along'
"I don't want to entertain guests, I don't want to make small talk, and I definitely don't want to host someone I've never met before," she writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A woman says her mother-in-law has planned a surprise visit to see her just days after she gave birth — and she wants to bring someone along But the woman says she's in no condition for visitors Now, she wants to know if it would be "unreasonable" to say she doesn't want visitors yetA woman says her mother-in-law has planned a surprise visit to see her just one week after she gave birth. In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous woman writes, "I just gave birth to my second daughter five days ago, and I've just returned home from the hospital. I'm physically still recovering, bleeding, breastfeeding, barely sleeping, and emotionally trying to settle into this new chapter. "On top of that, my older daughter is feeling a bit emotional and clingy after I was away for a few days, so things are already overwhelming," she adds. Despite her current situation, her mother-in-law sent a message in their family group chat stating that "she has 'scheduled' a visit to come over in two days." The matriarch noted that she would be bringing her sister along, whom the poster has "never met." "She never asked me if I'm okay with this. She just informed* us that she's coming," she adds. Now, the woman writes, she's "furious." "I don't understand how someone (even the baby's grandmother) thinks it's appropriate to invite themselves into a postpartum woman's home less than a week after she's given birth, without asking, and worse, to bring a stranger along," she writes. "I'm in pain. I'm exhausted. I'm bleeding. I'm trying to soothe a newborn and help my toddler adjust. I haven't slept properly in nights. I don't want to entertain guests, I don't want to make small talk, and I definitely don't want to host someone I've never met before." Now, she wants to know if it would be "unreasonable" to say she doesn't want visitors yet. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Fellow Reddit users are advising the woman to let her husband handle it. "This is a husband/partner conversation to have with her and not your battle. Tell him that you aren't feeling good and don't want anyone over until x date and ask them to tell their mother that she needs to reschedule," writes one Reddit user in the comments. "This is absolutely transgressing and inconsiderate behavior. It's not only impolite but also insane to impose yourself without asking on a woman so shortly postpartum," another added. "I would be livid. And not hosting her. Tell your husband to write it doesn't work for you and you tell her when you guys (as a family !!! Not you yourself) are ready." In an update, the woman shares that her husband "did step up" and told his mom that she is "still recovering" and "completely exhausted," asking that she reschedule the visit to a time he is also home. However, his mother "kept insisting on visiting anyway." "She completely disregarded our boundaries and made it about what's convenient for her and her guests, not what's best for me or the baby," the poster writes. Since her mother-in-law has refused to compromise, the poster plans on "locking myself and my kids in the bedroom and resting" when her in-laws come over. "As many of you suggested, I don't owe anyone my time, energy, or space, especially not when I'm already depleted," she writes. "I'm done trying to accommodate someone who clearly doesn't care about my wellbeing." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Did anyone win £145m EuroMillions jackpot tonight?
A whopping £145m EuroMillions jackpot was up for grabs this week - but did anybody win? The estimated jackpot of £145,000,000 was waiting for the lucky player who matched all five numbers plus the two lucky stars in the draw, which took place at 8:30pm on Friday (August 1). It's a big week for the National Lottery, as players have been warned of a planned 36-hour outage taking place this weekend. From 11pm on Saturday (August 2), until "late Monday morning", all draw game sales and prize claims will be paused in shops across the UK. READ MORE: EuroMillions results LIVE: Lottery numbers for £145m draw on Friday, August 1 READ MORE: Asda to introduce one-day 'ban' across 10 UK stores National Lottery operator Allwyn has confirmed that the 36-hour outage this weekend is to make way for the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. But that outage didn't affect the EuroMillions draw on Friday and nor should it affect the Lotto draw on Saturday. In June, one lucky ticket holder from Ireland won a staggering €250m in a EuroMillions draw, making them the biggest National Lottery winner ever. Since then, nobody has won the estimated jackpots, and it has gradually built back up week-by-week until Friday (August 1) when it reached £145m. Prior to the €250m EuroMillions win, the biggest National Lottery winner was an anonymous ticket-holder who scooped £195m in July 2022. Did anyone win the £145m EuroMillions jackpot? After a slight delay on Friday night, the winning numbers were finally drawn slightly later than usual. They were 04, 16, 25, 29, 30. The lucky stars are: 02, 10. However no one managed to win tonight's prize - meaning it will rollover again with an even bigger jackpot on Tuesday. Three players did manage to match five numbers and one lucky star, and 14 people the five main numbers.
