Just thought this would be an interesting topic to talk about. I've had teachers that would often go off topic during class and tell random stories about themselves.What's the most interesting or funniest story you've ever heard?

I'll start. I've had this really mean and bitter teacher that never gave good marks. He said himself that he hated people in general. First I had him for civics and then again for history. What luck eh? Out of all the teachers every year I was put in his class every time. I hated this guy ever since the first day, he always shouts for no reason and is really unreasonable for the tinniest things.

Now in grade 11, I had him again well this time it wasn't chance, he was the only one that thought economics. (Really wanted to take the course) Anyways during class he would often relate the concepts to the world and current events. But one day it some how turned into the story of his life. So it turns out he is in his fifties and never got married. He had a few girlfriends actually when he was young but some how they all died. LOL seriously, every time he meets someone really great things are going well and then she just drops dead with an incurable and terminal disease. Now he's just a bitter old man that's going to died alone someday. <- exactly what he said...

SO what else is out there? xP

Yea it is kind of a sad story. It turns out he couldn't each his economics class this second semester because of scheduling problems, and almost everybody dropped out of the class because they just wanted to have him. He is still mean to niners and tenners but treats seniors a little better because he says we're now a little more 'mature'. He still has a lot of hated around the school but once you really get to know him, (i.e had him for three years) he is a pretty good teacher in the end.

Aww that's nice that you guys gave him a chance and he doesn't have that reputation of being a forever alone type of guy.

Clearly your English teacher spent too much time discussing his fake IDs and neglected to teach you proper grammar and sentence structure.

yup! exactly what he didnt do.

My math teacher (who has a Master's in Physics), was talking to us about math, and I don't know how we got on the topic, but someone asked something like, "How do you deal with theoretical physicists?" And our teacher said, "You don't." And went on a long winded (yet pretty amusing) story about how he was an experimental physicist, and his roommate was a theoretical physicist, and the roommate was kind of like Sheldon form the Big Bang Theory. And then we started to draw parallels from his life to Big Bang Theory. Anyways, most off-topic thing ever, but I think it was the funniset thing!

We have a substitute teacher come in that not many people like, including myself. One day however i did put up with him. We had one "gangster" kid come into class and was being annoying with this beat boxing. He told the kid that his beats were horrible, so they had a beat boxing competition in class. After this he sang for us because apparently he was in a school choir as a kid and has to prove it to us. Most awkward but most entertaining class of the year.

Aw, I really feel sorry for this guy.
