School sports take up quite a lot of a kid's free time. If you ever played soccer, baseball, football, or basketball in high school, you probably already know the schedule. Kids often leave right from school to hit the locker room and change into their practice clothes, then practice from 4-8, or sometimes longer. On days where there's no practice, there might be a scrimmage or a game. Not to mention you've got to do your homework and hang out with your friends at some point during the week! Some sports even require weekend travel. Basically, if you're playing a school sport, it requires a lot of commitment. If you're unhappy with your coach or teammates, it's going to feel like such a slog. 

This kid went to a super small school, because their team barely had enough players to make the cut. Check out the way they got back at the coach they disliked in their story below. 

After that, read about some office employees who got fired for some wild reasons, like a bewildered office place where "EVERYONE had told my manager not to hire this guy."

    This was from way back when i was 14 y/o in my last year of middle school. I was the weird nerdy kid, but liked sports casually. They were (and still are) fun to play and thats about as deep as it will ever go. My grade school/middle school was a private school which at the time was on its 2nd to last year before it closed. In my class the boys. consisted of myself and 5 other kids. One did not want to do sports at all and refused to join

    anything. So that left 5 kids even interested in playing sports, meaning the only sport we could play was basketball. Just like most sports, I wasnt particularly good at basketball, but i liked playing it and found it fun. However my coach was an ahole and was one of those "my kid is an amazing athlete" type of sport dads. Im pretty sure if it werent for the fact that he had to play me for his kid to even play a sport, i wouldnt be playing a

    whole lot. At one point he even just out right insulted me. Combine that with me learning the kids in my class were talking about me behind my back and i finally had enough. We had only played one game. I came into the gym for practice, uniform in hand and threw it at the coach. I shouted at him and the other four kids "f you i quit!" I remember seeing their faces as they all slowly realized what that meant, freaked out, tried to stop me but i didnt care. I finished the school

    GenXJay That's classic, hit them where it hurts. Perfect revenge for an a-h_e that shouldn't be teaching kids anything with that attitude.

    Danger_anger Its great that you knew to stand up for yourself at such a young age. Coach and the other kids definitely deserved it too. Satisfying.
