Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just out of curiosity, because it's happened to me several times.

Please note that the following story has a few swear words, in quotes from the other party of the altercation, and one from myself.

The most memorable was on the day I was supposed to take the Reading TAKS test in eighth grade. I had my InuYasha backpack stuffed with lots of long books, mostly Harry Potter, because I didn't know what I'd feel like reading and I was sure to finish really quickly. So naturally the bag, stuffed as it was, was taking up quite a bit of room. Well, this black girl all of the sudden shoves me on my way to class, telling me to 'Get my white a** out of the way' and yelling at me because I was in her way and walking to slow. I need to point out that I am a fast walker. Honestly, I was also a little ticked off about the speed of traffic in the hallway. However, there was nothing I could do about it. So, of course, I got a little ticked. I told her that maybe if idiots like her would stop knocking people into the middle of the floor and if her friends would quit stopping in the middle of the hallway to talk, we'd be able to move faster. Then she got mad and started cussing at me, saying that I was the idiot and that if I didn't shut my fat white mouth, she'd knock my skinny white a** on the ground. Then I got really mad, and there was a teacher nearby, so I told her to 'Ut-shay er-hay other-may ucking-fay outh-may' Simple pig latin for 'shut your mother effing mouth.' Well, then her friends started appearing and tried to surround me and my two friends that were with me saying they were going to kick my a** and all of that nonsense. I told her it was pathetic that she had to call for backup, and that if she couldn't handle it on her own she shouldn't start it. My friend Sam smuggled me through the crowd while her boyfriend Shawn managed to hold them off. Unfortunatly, there were a few punches, so they got called to the office. When my name was brought up, I got called in as well. The black girl was acting all self-righteous, and told the SRO that I'd cussed her out and was a witch who'd tried to cast a spell on her. At first i was confused, and then I realized that she meant the pig latin. I laughed, because, let's face it, who doesn't know pig latin, and told the SRO that I'd told her to shut her mouth in pig latin. He asked why I'd used pig latin, and i told him because there was a teacher nearby and I'd used an inappropriate word. He sent me back to class, without me getting into trouble for any of it. She got ISS. I arrived at my testing room 15 minutes late, and still finished the test before anyone else, and got 100% on it to boot.

*snicker* One of my exes mother is convinced I'm a witch because he hasn't been able to get a date since he broke up with me, and suddenly he's apparently a bad kisser (he always was but no one ever said anything about it until he made out with this really slutty girl who told everyone about how bad it was later)

That's all really funny. Out here in Utah you don't get much of it, but after my Freshman year in high school a couple people really did think I was a witch. I was in three fights and broke school dress code at least twice all in that one year, but I can honestly say that I have never gotten a detention or been suspended. It's actually really funny because in all of the fights, there was an authoritative figure that wittnessed it. In one I was holding my best friend back from kicking the snot out of this one boy. The anger management teacher saw the struggle and walked over. When she saw that it was my friend and I she told us to calm down and walked off. The other teacher incident was also between my best friend and I. Though this time it was actually us fighting. I was stressed and not understanding something when she shook me. I got really angry and shoved her out of her chair. Well we started rolling around on the ground, and this is when class is still in session so the teacher is at the front of the room watching the entire thing. We pulled out of it fast enough on our own that he didn't do anthing though. The fight I was really shocked I got out of trouble for was when the vice principle pulled me out of a fight. It had all started when a boy was talking bad about me, and a boy that liked me dumped milk on his head for talking bad about me. Well the milk covered boy jumped him and I had just gotten the two seperated when a girl from the table behind us jumped the milk covered boy. I was in the middle of pulling to two of them apart when the vice principle grabbed me. The boy that liked me took the fall by saying he started it by dumping milk and the two boys were the only ones that landed in detention for having a food fight.

XD
It's quite amazing how quickly people jump to conclusions. o__O;
And they've got nothing better to do besides poke fun at academic people. So you should be proud you caught their attention XP
It'd be pretty awesome to psych people out if they think you're a witch. Just mumble nonsense while staring at them and they'd probably get really unnerved razz

Rofl! Wish I thought of doing that. My friend got kicked out of a curch once, they even splashed holy water on her. Although I'm not sure it was for her being a witch. I mean, she's wiccan but apparently thats automatically a Witch. Please, Wicca is worshiping nature, not witchcraft. *grumbles*

To Scotties MiaKitty,
You know you can sue her and the school for her continually calling you white. She was using it as a derogatory word that meant to harm your feelings. For the school to allow such 'language' impedes healthy mental development and because the teachers in the hall didn't stop her, they were allowing mistreatment of a student. It would be like you calling her racial names, which is a minor crime and also, I am sure, it's against your school policy. I hate that. If you don't want people to call you certain names or do certain things, then they shouldn't do it them selves. rolleyes

Anyhow my witch story. I was in third grade and had gone berry picking with my uncles. I was small and thin, compared to the rest of my family, so then sent me under the bush to get the ones they couldn't reach. Well I got whacked in the nose by a thorn and my nose got this red bump on it right where the stereo type witch has a wart. So for two weeks while this thing healed I got called witch, witchy, witchy girl, wart face, and other such names. I got them back later though by bringing in black berry pie to share with people who hadn't called me witch. Which was three people, two other kids and the teacher. When asked by the teacher why I wouldn't let the rest of the class have any I told her they wouldn't like it because I had put a delicious spell on it. xd mrgreen

I just think it's fun to mess with peoples heads because that never gets old. What did the teacher say to you putting a delicious spell on the pie Katie? That would have made me laugh really hard.

Wonderfully said Mia. It bugs me too, and unfortunatly I get a LOT of it. My step dad is black and the rest of my family is white. He is forever making jokes about how he is some kind of special thing. The other day I told him that not singling out a minority was just as bad as singling out a minority when it comes to what he's doing. I could tell he wanted to slap me silly but that's just how frustrated I was by then.
