School might be a hub for education engagement and socialization, but it can also be a place where some of the most mildly infuriating scenarios life has to offer can occur. That's because when you walk into a school, you've got a number of power dynamics at play: teachers, administrators, and then, of course, the hierarchical social structure among students. Furthermore, schools of all sizes come with sets of rules to be enforced by faculty and staff. As we have seen with many other kinds of institutions here on FAIL Blog, whenever there are rules in place, there will likely be nuisances and annoyances. It's par for the course in a school, where the entitlement and recklessness of students often conflict with the pointless intensity and over-the-top sense of strictness among professors. 

Keep scrolling below for this collection of Top 'Mildly Infuriating' Moments: School Edition, as compiled by these folks from Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit. When you're done, check out this list of horrible gift-giving stories!

    Major_R_Soul. My fellow seniors couldn't coordinate a day properly and had random cliques and groups skip on different days over a period of like 2 weeks. Though a number of students probably skipped all the days 1.8k Share

    Lord-Zippy OP. They want to keep us out between periods so that we cannot "destroy anything". Basically people last year took their and spreaded it all over the walls. They let us go during class though, which makes no sense because no one is guarding the bathrooms during class 2.9k Share
