TITLE: What are some of the silly or trivial things that got you into trouble in school?
POST: My infraction: Using the word 'copious' in an essay [11th Grade English].

I was pulled aside by the teacher after I had turned in my essay for the day. She asked me if I knew what the word 'copious' meant. I told her "a large amount of something or a huge quantity in size or volume." She called me a liar and I told her she could either believe I knew it or not. She then went on to mention that "no one else in any of my classes writes on a college level. I'm going to dock you points and make sure to keep an eye on your writings more closely."
TL;DR: 
I got into trouble because I wrote on a "college level," compared to the rest of the herd in English class.
