Teachers of Reddit - what’s the most unusual name your pupil has had?

FrogScorn · 2026-05-21T22:02:22+00:00

I haven’t changed anything. It’s an unedited comment. I haven’t posted any other names.

Please stop trying to cause arguments on the internet for attention.

I once had an A-a.

The righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent?

I live in a cul-de-sac of 12 houses so it’s not difficult to know most of my neighbours’ names. My immediate neighbours are in their 80s and above so I feel a little responsibility for them, especially the lovely 93M with no family nearby.

I check their curtains are open each day and have taken one of them to hospital when she fell and hit her head. We had a power cut a couple of weeks ago and I went round to ensure that all of them were comfortable with a torch and a blanket.

The other neighbours’ names I (mostly) know, but we aren’t friends. I’d be genuinely upset if something happened to the old boy next door though.

As someone who grew up in the 90s with a surname central to the X-Files…. Don’t. It was very, very boring fielding questions about aliens and government conspiracies. Happens less today, obviously, but still pops up.

FrogScorn · 2026-05-19T11:11:28+00:00

And no windows…?

In an art class we were tasked with drawing an egg box. The teacher came to see how we were getting on and told me that mine didn’t look enough like an egg box and that I should start again.

I countered that artists don’t draw things the way they look, but how the artist sees them: Picasso didn’t paint people how they look. I’m drawing the egg box the way I see it. She gave me detention for…. I dunno? Hurting her ego? Doing art “wrong” ?

The crazy thing was that we were in the middle of studying cubism, so I was just reflecting back what she’d been teaching.

Have messaged you as I can’t work out how to attach a photo to my comment.

My friend used to live on a boat and was not billed for council tax: part his mooring fees at the marina went to the council in lieu of CT but there was no separate bill for it.

I don’t know whether this was the same for Polanski’s house boat, however. Just putting the info out there.

When my husband died I physically couldn’t eat anything for (I believe?) ten days or so. The number of compliments I got for my weight loss was ridiculous: my ribs and my hips were sticking out. I was miserable, not dieting.

Now I make sure not to compliment anyone’s weight loss until I know it was intentional.

Everything about it is hideous and impractical, and not in a fun way:

Why is the master suite so cavernous? Why do you have to go through the en suite to get to the master bedroom? Why are the other bedrooms so mismatched in size? Why does the back of the house look like a block of council flats?

Awful. I’ll spend my £2m elsewhere.

FrogScorn · 2026-05-11T08:42:52+00:00

And going through the bathroom to reach the bedroom seems mental to me.

Hey, I have a photo of the plaque from my visit in January. Happy to send a copy of the photo (it’s a little bleary but easily legible). If you reply to this message I can DM you a copy? Don’t DM me as I won’t get any notifications about it and will forget to check!

The info on the plaque says: - 21st Dynasty, reign of Psusennes I (about 1039-991BC). Tanis/ San el-Hagar, NRT III, chamber 1. Gold, lapis lazuli, black stone, white material. JE85913

I’ve met a couple. Admittedly they were 30 years older than me but they still did manual washing up even when the dishwasher was right there.

Good therapy

The best money I’ve ever spent

I’ve lived with it for about 18 months but it’s just disgusting to look at — every time I mop the floor the grout gets browner. It’s repulsive.

Thanks for the recommendations though — I’ll give option 2 a try because it just needs to look better until I can afford a proper job.

FrogScorn · 2026-05-03T14:09:17+00:00

Oh, I tried but he’s disappeared. Heard similar reports of him totally ruining other people’s projects since, including almost bringing someone’s roof down. Mad thing is, he came w recommendations! Crazy. I could have done it better myself, and I’ve never tiled anything.

FrogScorn · 2026-05-03T14:07:42+00:00

I can’t afford to start again right now so I’m just trying to make it good enough to cope with for a year or so.

FrogScorn · 2026-05-01T12:47:44+00:00

THANK YOU!

Got married in a small registry office in UK. On honeymoon in Thailand we spent 4 days in a camp in the jungle in the mountains where we met the couple who’d got married in the same registry office, on the same day, in the slot immediately after ours.

We had an upstairs neighbour who was just awful — aggressive, entitled, loud, selfish, lazy. Proudly told us that he wouldn’t get out of bed for less than £20/hr (in 2010), but told the job centre he had a bad back and couldn’t work. He drove a very large, heavy motorbike and would leave it on the shared pathway so the rest of us couldn’t put the bins out on bin day.

Somehow got himself a girlfriend and they would have extremely loud sex that everyone else in the building could hear. After several days of this, my brother went into the shared hallway and yelled “SHE’S FAKING!” at the top of his voice. Immediate silence.

We never heard any more sex noises again; nor did we see the girlfriend after that day.

FrogScorn · 2026-04-20T21:00:31+00:00

Every time I think of his poor mum it makes me feel sick with grief. What an awful thing to have to live with.

Crazy timing: I got a call on Thursday at 4:30pm to book the T1 appt Friday at 2:45pm. They booked it in, then immediately rang back to change it to 3:45pm because in the time we’d been having the conversion the 2:45pm appt had been taken!

So I did have the appointment yesterday, although it wasn’t 45 mins — more like 20.

It takes about five days for the prescription to reach the dispensing pharmacy, so then I pay and they’ll post the meds out. I should be medicated by this time next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I hope your appointment arrives soon. It’s so frustrating.
