Think if I hear another water bottle land on the floor I will explode

[Cryifiwantto]

Whoever invented that water bottle throwing thing needs to be shut in a room with 100 children doing it over. And. Over. Again

Losing it

[BastardGoDarkly]

Yup, DS came home with soaking books in his bag, and a cracked water bottle, 'I wasn't flipping it Mum?! I wasn't!!'

Still, it wasn't a telly

[ParadiseCity]

I thought DS had finished with bottle flipping then he took up with the pritt stick

[whyohwhy000]

Our council have banned bottle flipping throughout the whole city and suggested that students who do bottle flip get a 1 hour after school detention.

Love the story with the 'nose dab' - this would be my class, I feel your pain!

[Leslieknope45]

Flipping the glue sticks!! The noise gives me the rage!!!! And then they whinge because 'miss this glue stick is hairy'

Yes no shit because it's been rolling all over the floor.

[Temporaryname137]

I don't understand, what is this thing? They just chuck the bottle at the floor and hope it lands on its arse? That sounds ridiculous and very very annoying.

[Alligatorpie]

I live in a small town in Thailand and my students flip water bottles and dab. Thank God they haven't moved on to glue sticks and pencil cases...yet! Drives me insane.

[FranKubelik]

I'm not bothered by it - at least it's distracted them from the 'killer clowns' craze.

[Gileswithachainsaw]

That's it

What's so exciting about doing that?

[nurseinwonderland]

This is dabbing

[nurseinwonderland]

Me trying to get ready for a night shift last night.
Stop flipping that bottle.
No, I just told you stop flipping that bottle.
LOOK! didn't you just hear me telling your brother to stop flipping that bottle.

Just asked them what dabbing was, yep my two do it too! Didn't realise it had a name! Our prom photos had them all dabbing.

[MimsyBorogroves]

I actually BEGGED my Y7s to start on the mannequins instead of the water. Sick of catching bottles mid flip and putting them into the bin.

And then the lesson where we read a bit of a book where a character dabbed his nose with a tissue. Year 8s yelling "DAB!" and inventing a "nose dab" for 5 minutes before getting control of themselves.

Bastards. Bring back spokey-dokeys.

[Gileswithachainsaw]

Wtf is dabbing

[Keeptrudging]

I'm evil and water bottles have to stay beside the sink. They then flip pencil cases (confiscated), books, pencil pots, glue sticks, stools, anything they can lay their hands on. I can't wait for them to move on to the mannequin challenge!!!

[PacificDogwod]

Is that in a plastic bottle, Cry?

DS3 just tried it with the remote control - the lid came off, the batteries fell out and he was all surprised innocence that I was vaguely annoyed because I 'had never told him not to flip the TV remote'

[Cryifiwantto]

You poor poor teachers! Here have a bottle of 🍾

[pieceofpurplesky]

Yes Jefferson the landing on ledges! I am on the first floor and one hit my window the other day!
Then I come home and DS has got his Grandad doing it!

[AwaywiththePixies27]

I have no idea what the dabbing is. DD had tried to explain it to me numerous times but she still looks at me and declares me old instead. cancelling Christmas

[AwaywiththePixies27]

Boundaries

Yes, DCs drove me buts recently with it on a rainy day spent inside.

[PacificDogwod]

I have NO idea what dabbing is. Has it reached Scotland yet?

OMG, yes, demented!
DS2(8) is the DabMaster in this house

I can honestly say that I have never had a go at this :)

We are at the stage where they are trying to land bottles on lights and high up ledges.

[ChinchillaFur]

I have one particular Yr8 class that do this - it drives me insane!

Started with water bottles - confiscated those
Went on to glue sticks - put those away
Then moved on to little lidded pots of sulfur, iron filings etc for my experiment!

I DID get very cross then, and may have said something along the lines of anybody flips anything else now and you will have detention, and I don't care WHO it is!

[pieceofpurplesky]

Another teacher. It is really irritating and he move to pritt sticks and pencil cases.
Bet you have all had a go though!

[dementedma]

[FromIbizaToTheNorfolkBroads]

Teenage DD taught me how to dab just to annoy her pre-teen dabbing brother.

Believe me when your mum starts doing something like dabbing it's no longer cool
