Friends there is a new meme sweeping Twitter. This time it’s a picture of Rihanna holding a microphone to someone’s mouth with the caption “What’s the dumbest thing you ever got in trouble for at school?”. It’s prompted people to share their painfully petty and British school dramas.

It’s kind of similar to the Bombaclaat and Sco Pa Tu Manaa quote-tweet memes, but frankly funnier.

Anyway here are 29 of the best, which prove there was no justice for plucky school kids.

being unable to travel at the speed of light and get from a lesson which was consistently let out late at 12:00 to another lesson which began at 12:00. IT WASNT OUR FAULT FATHER LAW https://t.co/f2ZoGv62Zr

A girl in my form used to write sexual fanfiction about Harry Potter and Draco. She showed me them on her PC and I printed them off and read them aloud in the sixth form common room. Then – months later – in the school panto we re-enacted the scene from her fan fiction on stage. https://t.co/00rIqmKW45
