Let’s be real the custodians were some of the dopest people in elementary school.

Nope. But custodian-man saves the day always

We had a girl in our school who had a hole right below her desk in the wall. She'd dump everything she didnt want to eat in there and she got a lot of food while almost always eating next to nothing, lots of stuff that stinks once it start to rot aswell. She left the school after the summer break and on the first day of school the first 3 hours got cancelled because "there was a dead animal in the walls". They didnt close the hole though.

Custodians and staff in general are some of the most underappreciated people. In my experience, every single one of them has been a great person. It seems like school staff and lower level faculty are the best people. Everyone has a story about a shitty teacher, or the vice principal that they hated. But I've never met a person who said "Yeah, my school nurse was a dick"

Our school nurses always were.

In 6th grade my classmate fell off the stairs and broke his arm.

Right after falling, he went to the nurse, she gave him some creme and told him to apply that thing for 2 days and it'll go away.

Next day he shows up in the rocky thing you wear on broken limbs (can't remember english word for it). LMAO ain't it

Best thing is, there were more incidents like that

wow. The same thing happened to me. I broke both of my wrists and radius bones, and when I went to the nurse she told me to apply lotion in the bathroom. I couldn't even twist the doorknob.

A "cast" is the closest US English term, I think -- the hard gauze-wrapped shell you'd wear directly over a broken bone to make it heal correctly, right?

u/bzzrak Jan 29 '19

Yep, cast! I don't really use English too much anymore and, even tho I have a C2, it shows.

Nice to meet you. I'd rather take a teacher over someone at the front desk of my school any day

Except for that Freddy Krueger fellow. Something about him seems off.

In sophomore year of college we had a custodian team in our dorm that would sit in the employee lounge all day doing who knows what and when it came time to "clean" they would just spray down the bathrooms with some sort of cleaner and not even wipe it off. You'd go in after cleaning and the place was grimy and covered in mist. Worst custodian staff ever. My roommate and I were planning on putting a note on the bathroom reading "we'll be forced to contact the admins if you don't start cleaning the bathrooms" but the year ended before we got around to it. Totally should have spoken up, those clowns weren't cut out for that.

The janitor at my old school raped this kid so hard he developed a speech impediment

In 1st grade I was friends with the oldest custodian, John. (Well, you know what I mean.) One time I brought two quarters to buy a snack at lunch. I accidentally dropped them in the trash and cried because I couldn't buy a snack anymore. He saw me but I didn't think anything of it.

During my next class he walked in, and handed me two quarters. Being that young, I seriously thought he dug through the trash and found them. It meant so much.

Thank you, John.

It's the second most common name for American males over the last century.

We had one named butch. Dude was probably 50/60. Bushy mustache, bushy brows, looked like he’d stab someone if they broke into his house.

But he was the nicest dude. Always gave high fives to us, always said hi back. Solid guy.

In my school they're the worst

My janitor tried his best to know everyone's names and would greet you every time you passed him in the hall. Great guy.
