As every teacher knows, children can be messy. When kiddos are only half potty-trained and still learning how to be real people, preschool teachers are oftentimes the adult-figures who know exactly what kind of messes these tiny humans can make. In this case, OP knew all too well that preschoolers can make mistakes– sometimes just outside the bathroom. But when one of her students accidentally wet themselves despite the teacher's rigorous potty-break schedule, OP's boss lost it.

Most child caregivers have the decorum to have adult conversations away from the listening ears of the little ones, but for OP, her boss came charging into her classroom, screaming and raving about her poor bathroom break scheduling and demanding an even more ridiculous bathroom rhythm to avoid more 'messes'. Clearly on a power trip, the boss yelled at OP right in front of the kids, fueling a motherly rage inside the preschool teacher that could only be released with malicious compliance.

Scroll for the full tale of how this teacher got the best of her boss by doing exactly what she asked– and getting the whole school to back her up.
