I have 2 examples.

Ill share one; my stepdad was always a huge piece of shit. He still is, actually. He'd trick us into eating tomatoes. Me at 12 could eat them, whatever. My 5 year old brother was forced to eat them, and got grounded if he didn't. He would actually force us to eat foods we didn't like and would literally backhand us across the face for "disrespecting" that we had food on the table.

I worked at a sub shop that had the hottest of the sauces. I told a similar version of this story to my boss, and got my hands on an illegally 'hot" sauce. I poured the whole bottle into a store-bought salsa i knew he'd eat.

I think I'm the reason my high school installed security cameras.

So, we had mandatory parenting classes in lieu of sex ed, but the school didn't have the money for those rubber babies and just made us carry around hardboiled eggs for a week. I still don't understand that logic, but hey that's conservative america for you.

This went, predictably, very poorly. Lots of 'babies' got stolen, smashed, and/or thrown out of windows, and this one guy in particular kept being weirdly pervy about it. Being conservative america, the teachers did not care that he was harassing girls about their eggs.

This guy wanted a girl's egg so damn bad, I watched him put the combo into his locker, peeled my name sticker off the week old egg, and left it in his locker over the weekend.

The next week, there were cameras in the hallways.
