Man imagine if a parent caught a teacher drunk, at a bar, or the teacher's lounge. I think she's being kind of a bum for no reason. Are the concerts in her hometown? "We're 30 minutes out of town at this arena but maybe a parent is here and ready to measure how dilated my pupils are" is pretty silly to me.

Teachers can and do get fired for stuff as stupid as having a picture of them on their private, friends-only facebook page holding a single glass of wine, so she's making the right call.

I remember a case where a teacher was fired for having a picture of her holding a red solo cup. Apparently the implication when using a red solo cup is that you're abusing alcohol.

If you are a teacher in America and there exists any evidence, even hear say, that you did something that only the most anal retentive white suburban parent would dislike you are loving gone. This womans boyfriend is a shitter, as are the people who get teachers fired over poo poo like that.

My(31M) GF's(28F) family is anti-semitic and hits me up for money.

Money sense is something people are often taught by their parents, so it's less that he's a Jew and more that he comes from a family of people who are sensible enough not to drop cash on in-laws who don't respect you. Seems like a good idea to me.

Lady, just lie and say you'll never remarry. This is one of those white lies we all tell, like "You're the best sex partner I've ever had." Then you can do whatever if he dies, because guess what, he'll be dead.
On one hand this feels a lot like a 'play stupid games win stupid prizes' moment but otoh I think it's pretty crass to tell your SO what friends you'd gently caress if they weren't in the picture anymore. Also what is the actual heaven protocol for that kinda scenario, say she's married to dude A for 20 years, he dies, then she marries dude B for 30 years until they both die, does she show up to heaven and suggest they open their relationship.

This 1000x. My wife is a teacher and doesn't want anyone taking pictures of her with alcohol in the shot, even if it's not her holding the drink. We don't even live in a small town but she still feels uncomfortable even drinking in public sometimes because she may run in to a parent or student. Basically any kid or parent that has decided they want you to suffer will scour your social media for ANYTHING they can use to get you fired. Even if you aren't fired, you have to spend a ton of time defending the accusation with your school/county/state depending on the situation and it's going to be a mark on your record no matter what. It's not right at all, but she's not really being paranoid.

The guy either needs to accept that her life has to be somewhat different now or they need to break up.

It started as a joke that he took weirdly seriously. She didn't come out and say "I'm leaving you when you die for your cousin" in seriousness.

If it's this hardcore, she should just stop altogether, then. Not keep doing it and then blame him when her situation causes problems.

no, actually

your state might not have an ordinance against it or choose to enforce the law, but it's still a federal offense people go to prison over whenever law enforcement deigns to take notice, and very very very fireable if your employer is not a weed-lovin rasta man. All it takes is the students tittering about it to each other where any adult can hear for her to get piss-tested and shortly thereafter blacklisted from ever being a teacher or working in any other capacity involving children again.

If you're a regular smoker weed stays in your system for upwards of a month and is easy to test for so unless you actually saw them smoking it'd be a p dumb thing to lie about.

It's not super easy to get them fired with no proof. It's fairly easy to make their life a living hell if they have a desire to and anything that could be interpreted as evidence though. Which is why many teachers limit their social media presence greatly and often police themselves in public more than normal people do.

It has to be YouTube that's making them insane and over the top. It used to just be poo poo like "bucket of water on the door" or "shaving cream on face" not poo poo like fake identities and staging break ins.

they're not even really "pranks"

a "prank" is like something that someone should be able to avoid if they're paying attention, it's mildly didactic, like putting saran wrap in a doorway

lol, what

She's not blaming him for anything, he's getting pissed at her because she doesn't want to smoke weed outside of the house. You're weirdly hostile about this. Maybe you should smoke less weed.
