I’m a teacher. Just before class time the teacher’s room becomes very busy with teachers preparing for their upcoming classes. I lock myself in the toilet (of which there is only one) around fifteen minutes before class and bellow at the top of my lungs. The more bovine the bellowing, the better. Not only does this mean all other teachers are unable to use the toilet before their classes, they also have to deal with the problem of the noise which would at best be off-putting and at worst profoundly disturbing.

Weird problems
A weird problem involves causing someone a problem which has no conceivable benefit to yourself in a way which is baffling to the person the problem is being inflicted upon. I’m going to divide these problems into two categories. The first is actual – an actual weird problem is one which has been witnessed or carried out. The second is hypothetical – a hypothetical weird problem is one of those which occur to us as a thought when carrying out our everyday business. It’s a ‘what if...’ scenario. I think everyone experiences compulsions to behave inappropriately; the weird problem is one example of such thoughts.
The animal kingdom is a great place from which to gain inspiration for WPs. A cat of mine once tried to force her snout into my ear for minutes solidly whilst purring profusely, it was a gleeful and pointless act on her part.
I would like to invite anyone reading this to contribute weird problems either actual or hypothetical in nature. Please bear in mind the following criteria:
- - Weird problems must not be malicious towards a specific person or group of people
- - There should be no conceivable reason for or benefit in inflicting the problem
- - They can be inflicted upon anyone at any time, in both the public or private sphere
Send your WPs to weirdproblems@gmail.com
