'At the age of 11 I received a speeding ticket... on my bike': 20+ Nonsensical reasons people got in big trouble

I think everyone has at least one time they got in trouble for reasons that completely baffled them. As a kid, you put a lot of trust and faith in your teachers and parents. So when your favorite third-grade teacher suddenly punishes an 8-year-old you for doing something ordinary, it's quite confusing. It startles you and makes you question authority. Although the reasons make no sense to the kids involved, maybe the adults in the room are just having a bad day. Especially when the person is a teacher: there's no way you can monitor 25 kids for 40 hours per week and not mess up a few times.

On the r/AskReddit subreddit, u/p09up asked, "What's the dumbest thing you've got in trouble for?" It must be a common enough occurrence, because more than 6,500 people replied with their own stories. Most happened when people were kids, but there were a few confused adults as well, like one person who was chastised by their driving instructor for going a single mile over the speed limit.

After that, these resort coworkers kept trying to break into their workplace cage to get supplies, and after a while of trying, they decided to break in because "I was feeling petty and thought it'd be funny."
