History Teacher that taught me in Senior School, used to wear winkle picker cowboy boots. If you weren't paying attention or were talking in his class, he'd make a mark on the blackboard and get you to stand, back to the class, with your nose touching it and if you moved he'd boot you in the arse. He made sure the mark on the blackboard was so you were standing on tip toes to get your nose on it.
Physics Teacher, also in my Senior School used to make us all lay our hands palms down on our desks and he'd walk around the classroom with one of the old style, wooden metre sticks in hand. Whenever he was talking he'd walk around the classroom and if you weren't paying attention he'd walk up behind us whack the metre stick across our hands on the desk!
Teachers back then were absolute c*nts, but it taught us a valuable lesson in life in respecting authority. If they did that now they'd be locked up and the Schools sued!
