Most kids get a detention at least once in their grade school years. Kids will be kids! Check out these unusual reasons for getting a detention.
While reading through these detention slips, I could not stop laughing! Some of the things kids do these days are just too funny. The Michael Scott ones (“That’s what she said”) made me laugh so hard.
Enjoy looking through the gallery! And see the full gallery here.
Lovelies, have you ever got a detention? If so, for what?

I have only gotten one detention: failure to complete my math assignment. The entire class got a saturday detention for that since no one did the homework.
I was also grounded from reading books in 6th grade. Apparently I read too much and didn’t feel like doing my homework.

I got lunch detention once in sixth grade. Still makes me mad, to this day. In science class, we had just finished up one textbook (I think we got four a year) so I was throwing away all my old papers because the teacher told us to. She had just handed back a test from the last textbook, and I threw that away, too. I think I had gone to the bathroom or something, and while I was in there, she told us not to throw the test away but to take them home to our parents (like anyone actually did that in sixth grade.) The stupid kid behind me (his name was Taylor) dug through the trash can, fished my test paper out, and showed the teacher that I had thrown it away. So I got lunch detention. I was so mad. The only time I was ever in trouble at school.

I’m pretty sure the “come at me, bro” one is fake. I see those ones floating all over the internet. I think my favorite one that I ever read (though I’m sure it is fake) said, “Caught fondling self in class. When confronted, he removed his jacket & yelled ‘come at me, bro’ “

I’m still mad about detention given to me in the 6th grade. It was my first class – math – we have to be seated before the bell rings but I went into class and asked the teacher for help with my homework from last night and she said to wait (standing) by her desk until the bell rang. When the bell rang, she saw me standing and said, “Lunch detention. You know not to stand when the bell rings.” When I tried arguing with her she insisted she said no such thing. So I had lunch detention and I was so pissed.
The lunch detention teacher actually let me get out of detention early because I finished writing my lines “I will be seated when the bell rings in Mrs. Blank’s class” and he knew I was a good kid and knew that Mrs. Blank was a bitch so he let me go eat with my friends. It still pissed me off because my parents found out.

This reminded me of my middle and high school experiences so much! I was in detention way too often. In high school, I got detention for saying, “muggle,” but I was speaking to another student. The teacher called it a racial slur.
In middle school, I got detention for saying, “Oprah is scary.” We had to watch an Oprah tape in health class and Oprah was reaching for some information about germs and escalators. The teacher immediately came over to me and said, “Never say that about Oprah.” There I was, a day later, sitting in all day detention. It was worth it.

The one time I got detention was in 6th grade. My teacher gave the entire class a detention because everyone- but me- didn’t do the homework. My teacher apologized to me, since I had honestly done the homework, but still made me sit with the rest of the class through lunch. I cried and wouldn’t eat my lunch because I was so upset at being in detention and having it on my record..

Reading the comments, I’m finding it funny how many people got their one detention in 6th grade. That is the only time I had lunch detention, because a teacher claimed I never took a test, since she had no grade written for it. During the detention, she found the test in her pile of papers.

Wow the second to last one, is not so much funny as it is absolutely ridiculous…That is one terrible teacher. Better to accept what he’s teaching, even though it’s wrong…? Just wow. Who knows how many other teachers think like that, and they’re supposed to teach our (future) children.

Kids these days….so obnoxious! Hahah. These are hilarious!
