One time in 5th grade (I think) while I was eating an open-faced peanut butter sandwich for lunch, another kid picked on me for having too much peanut butter on it. He shouted from another table: "Hey (my name), you like having peanut butter smeared on there?" I was a lot more confused than I was offended.

The time when I (apparently) were eating potato chips using scissors at elementary school. I don't remember doing it but it seems pretty logical - If I really did it I probably just didn't want to have my hands oily.
Apparently it was weird enough for people to remember it and make fun of me when we met... about 15 years later. 8O

I got thrown off of a slide one time for having long eyelashes. It was in grade 2 I think. I hurt my back so bad I couldn't walk for a while. All for having long eyelashes.

I had the nickname "Dolphin Lips" for a while because allegedly there is something strange about the way I drink out of a cup or mug. I still have no idea what's peculiar about it, but the drink gets into my mouth just fine; I don't end up with it all down my chin unless I'm very, very drunk.

I don’t think I was outright made fun of for this but here goes: enjoying my peanut butter and ham sandwich at lunch. Eventually I brought it so often that finally everyone at my table asked if they could try it out of curiosity.


There was the time that I was mercilessly teased and taunted because I decided to wear a dress to school in 2nd grade. I had never wore a dress to school before that, I haven’t worn a dress or skirt since then, 9 years later.

i was made fun of for liking the fairly oddparents once, in 3rd grade.


that never left me. i'm still very reticent to discuss my interests and am perfectly fine with letting the other person go on and on about what he likes, not saying a word about mine.

Some kids ridiculized me for knowing too much about topography. That of itself is not so weird, since it falls in the geeky category, but it was the way they mocked me that was the weirdest. They came up to me and smirkingly asked me what the capital of a certain country was and laughed when I would answer the question seriously.

This was awhile back. Actually liking Spanish and not taking the class just because it was a requirement.

When I was in junior high, people apparently thought it was funny to say hi to me - someone in a group would just say "Hi, dragonsanddemons," and I'd make some sort of acknowledgement, and everyone would laugh. I still don't know what that was about.

Unleasher,

I, too, liked Spanish as a teenager. I was also a word geek who actually liked conjugating verbs.

I’ve also had that happen to me before. It is quite baffling, so I know where you’re coming from.

my huge head of hair. Type in"jimi hendrix bassist Noel Redding" and u get the picture. I refuse to cut if off cause i like the way it covers my eyes. And, not surprisingly, all the bullying is done by bald(ing) dudes, especially when they are younger.
The same with my "hollow face", which they call a crackhead face, but they are fat and i do kickboxing. There's Always a reason...
