2 exams, 1 cup; poop used to get out of an exam

When I was in high school and university I hated exams. That’s about as unique of a character trait for a student as liking My Chemical Romance is for an emo fan.

Exams might suck and I definitely had thoughts of faking a Ferris Bueller-style illness or creating a minor traffic accident to get out of one but I never followed through.

I obvious wasn’t thinking creatively.

According to the Hunterdon County Democrat, a 16-year-old exam avoider has taken things to a new level.

According to police, the teen was in class at North Hunterdon on Monday and asked to use the bathroom. The boy then took a carry-out style coffee mug with a screw-on cap with him to the nurses’ office bathroom. The boy defecated in the mug, screwed the cap on, and returned to the classroom where he unscrewed the lid, and “this caused a disruption in the classroom,” police said.

The student is facing disorderly conduct charges. Probably don’t want to use that cup again.
