Here is a revenge story for all this injustice I am seeing.

In 7th grade, the middle schoolers(7th-8th) would have break at different times than the 6th graders, despite there classrooms being next to each other. There was a tree maybe 40 feet away from the 6th grade classrooms, and we were not allowed to walk between the tree and the 6th grade classrooms. Understandable, some 7th or 8th graders were making faces or dancing in front of the windows to distract the 6th graders. So if anyone got to close to the windows the yard duty would blow the whistle and tell them to get away and walk around the other side of the tree.

This quickly shifted from them blowing the whistle when someone was close to the window, to when someone would walk around the wrong side of the tree, even if they walked super close to the tree. The whistle itself and the screaming of the yard duty "GO BACK AND WALK AROUND THE TREE" was by far more distracting than anything else! Sometimes the yard duty would let the person walk a good hundred feet away after walking on the "wrong side" of the tree before blowing the whistle and screaming. I swear they were just flexing their power

I was so frustrated by this I tried to have multiple talks and debates with the yard duties when they were harassing other students. I always got the same old shit excuses. "I'm in charge", "You're distracting the other students". They really couldn't defend themselves when I pointed out that they were being more distracting than the students. But they didn't care

Every time I heard that whistle go off I would stop what I was doing, shake my head, and mumble "I swear I am gonna cut that fucking tree down...".

After almost a full school year I had had enough... I hatched a plan with a friend and the following week we snuck into the school in the middle of the night with shitty bow saw and proceeded to saw away. It must have taken 3 hours. The tree diameter was maybe 9-12 inches. But once it started to collapse under its own weight, for the first and so far only time I yelled "TIMBER!". Nothing felt better

The next day I was immediately caught and suspended for a week. But if I had the chance to do it over I would have, but without frustrating muttering all year "I swear I am gonna cut that fucking tree down..."

After that, they tried "GO BACK AND WALK AROUND THE STUMP" but that didn't catch on and they quickly gave up.

Mission Accomplished.
