I don't do "awe inspiring" but "amazing" I can get near! When I was fourteen I was doing a crap in our less than hygenic, leaky Victorian school bogs and as I stood up from my exertions to wipe I blacked out totally.
I'd had a headache all day and it turned out a migraine had caused me to pass out but I only found this out because of the specialist at the hospital later on. anyway, I must have lain in this pool of leaked water and piss(always there for the full five years I was at the bloody place)for TWO HOURS without one member of staff chekjcing the toilets when a first year boy found me and roused me. He looked terrified and I soon realised he was agahst at trhe state of me;not only was I sporting a huge lump on my bonce and covered in pee but also managed to have a gash in my head which had been bleeding copiously(it needed twelve stitches at A&E)all that time. the kid said that he thought I was dead to begin with.
Anyway, by this time i'd missed double Geography and school was finished but the office still rang my mum and apologised profusely for not having anyone either fnd or even look for me when I'd gone missing. I guess today people would have already been ringing their lawyers but back then it never crossed my, or my mum's, minds. So, off to hospital to get sorted out and get the above answers as to why it happened.
Next day before school we get the post and a letter comes from school , from Geography tutor saying to my parents that I'd gone truant for the last two periods the day before! They'd also given me a detention and asked my mum to come in to see the head of year. I must have been on the loo floor(possibly dead for all they knew)when they posted the bloody letter! Needless to say my parents were livid and looking back now I do find it incredible that nothing happened because of it .Noone lost their jobs for failing to look after a very basic thing like checking the loos(meant to at least every 15 mins apparently and I was there for over two hours)and to jump in assuming I'd been out of line just topped off a great 24 hours for me.An English education, eh?
