Everyone's talking about teachers and how it affects them, but the custodians are probably being hurt by this too. Now they have to clean up after this, they're the ones that will potentially have to repair the damages depending on if the school has the funding for a repair/handy man or not. Custodians are already treated horribly, please don't make their job harder than it already is.
I started out as a custodian at my old HS. It was a nightmare. There were very few of us, and we were on such a tight schedule. I would constantly get in trouble for not getting my rooms cleaned fast enough. There was one day I went into a room and there was glass all over the floor, and another day that I had to basically chisel dried gum off a floor. There was so much of it it took like 3 of us. Not to mention I only got paid the state minimum wage. Also I love Vash! :D
That middle school teacher who is torn brings up an excellent point and I think the line is somewhere around "Who does this effect?" Cause if it directly impacts your classmates, the teachers, and the education process, you aren't really sticking it to the man like you think you are. Making no one able to go to the bathroom isn't anti-establishment, it just means people who are already sick of the school (probably for the same reasons you are if classrooms are underfunded, the administration has screwed up priorities etc.) have to suffer more
Stealing soap during a pandemic is very irresponsible and I really can't see why anyone would think its 'cool and edgy' when all you're doing is endangering everyone, harming your probably already underfunded school and inconveniencing yourself and others.
@@spicydarkwasp9439 You just know the people doing this shit don't even care about "sticking it to the man", it's literally just for views and that's it
If they really wanted to do something as a form of activism a lot of gen z has started online protests, like flooding the Texas abortion hotline (where people can report others who've had an abortion) with useless messages. If they wanted to protest going to school during a pandemic, especially if they're being forced into in person school, a strike is fine. Literally all this is is upper middle class douchebag kids stealing from underfunded schools and making teachers and administration, who already don't get paid enough, pay for it. Like just do a mostly harmless prank or something with that energy.
A teacher at my school got hurt really bad because she slipped on spilled soap after somebody vandalized a soap dispenser. It’s not fair protest anymore if people are getting hurt
The safety scissors one actually pissed me off, because there’s a good chance the teacher bought that with their own money. It’s sinful how much of a teacher’s supplies they have to pay for themselves, especially with Joe underpaid they are.
Here eight months later to say that this trend caused the boys in my school to start just generally vandalizing their bathrooms to the point that they had one bathroom for use for the entire third trimester; the girls still had bathroom privileges because we weren’t stupid.
Tbh i dont even think this was limited to the devious licks, i remember when i was back in hs we always had boys bathrooms closed cus ppl were always vandalizing, so i think us boys are just super stupid as teens 😂
The thing is, people can get hurt. The second I heard that the bathrooms closed and that kid said "Idk, hold it in, ig" I got stuck on that. For some people with medical issues, like myself with one kidney, or others with other issues like that or if you just think of the fact that girls get periods, having no access to a bathroom could be very bad. I can't hold my pee in for too long because of my issue so I'd be one of the people who would have pissed herself before third period. Not to mention how many girls would be bleeding through their underwear. Targeting bathrooms is selfishness amplified, in my opinion. It's something that is necessary for many people and for many people it's honestly one of the only places they feel safe in at school. We cannot hold in certain bodily fluids as a goddamn human animal and to deny that access is friggin' inhumane.
When I was in school I had something wrong with my bladder where I physically couldn't hold it in at all. Couldn't afford to go to the doctors for it so I still have no clue what the hell that was (went away not too long after high school, thank *GOD*), but it took a few embarrassing accidents for the school to have to give me a special pass to get up and go to the bathroom without having to wait to ask, because it was genuinely so bad that just asking would risk an accident.... I can't imagine having to go through that time in my life and having all the bathrooms be closed. I wouldn't be able to hold my bladder the whole day every single day like that - just having an accident those few times while I was trying to fight my teachers for "No Questions Asked bathroom rights" was humiliating enough, having to go through that every single day just because some asshats decided to destroy all the bathrooms... would've been devastating. I don't even know what I would do.. I'd feel suicidal as hell humiliating myself all the time like that though, that's for sure 😓
Bro I am sooo glad I’m online this year because my periods are so heavy I need to the bathroom every freaking block 😭 I would have for sure just ruined all my jeans and my pride
@@dustyzoiveon6161 Oh, geez, that sounds unpleasant! I'm sorry you had to experience that but I'm glad it's gone! It's been a while since I've been in school (I'm in my early 30's), but I have two teenage children - and I've told both of them that if they need to go to the bathroom, let the teacher/person in charge know and go. Don't take a "no; because I said so" for an answer and I'll deal with the consequences because I know just how bad it can be, not being able to use the toilet when needed. So, my daughter knows that she can ignore a teacher who tells her to "just wait" if she REALLY needs to go for a period issue or just to go pee; as does my son. Either way, closing down bathrooms seriously seems like not just a breach of ethics, but of human rights.
Once, some boys at my highschool straight up broke a toilet but jumping on it, breaking it off the wall, and then flushing it. They just revoked our bathroom "privileges" except for a very small window during the day bc they didn't have enough resources to monitor them to make sure this didn't happen again.
@@zakshah3480 I understand why it can be kinda funny (I mean, literal stealing is pretty absurd) but it’s causing actual damage to people, not just property.
@Best Username yeah, someone flooded a girl’s bathroom at mine and it was closed for a week. 2k girls cannot share only three bathrooms, let me tell you. The lines were horrendous.
Dude i swear it gets bad, People here already stole toilet seats and soap dispensers, and there was a leak in one of the bathrooms, turns out it was a devious lick.
I've recently seen people posting their "angelic yields", where they bring something to school. My favorite so far has included adding wind chimes and a boss baby poster in a bathroom stall
I go to an arts high school, and multiple music majors have had their instruments stolen from class, which very directly effects their education, since we have 2hr art blocks every day, and some extra 1hr long block at the end of the day- so some students can’t even practice their art
Like their own personal instruments? Either way wow, that's upsetting especially as those things can cost a lot of money. And it doesn't just affect "the school", it's literal people just living their lives getting fkd over for some idiot's internet clout. I hate it here.
I went to a similar high school a few years ago, if it makes you feel better, even back then people were taking bridges out of basses and bending trumpets at a right angle.
I'm an electrician, and one of my main concerns watching this is that a lot of the things being stolen would be pretty risky for an untrained highschooler to disconnect. Big commercial buildings like schools often use 277V circuits for lighting and emergency and such. Some kid's gonna get himself burned, shocked, or even electrocuted. 120V stuff is of course dangerous as well, but 277/480V can make a really big boom if you don't know what you're doing.
As a teacher who uses her own money to get many things in my classroom, I’m thankful I have a first grade class who probably haven’t heard of this trend.
Unfortunately, many kids are getting into very “adult” tiktok trends. My cousin who is 6 years old knows way too many sexual songs and dances. Luckily though, even if kids in 1st grade tried these trends they would probably be caught immediately.
Nope. At the school I volunteer at during the week some kid tried to steal a dodge ball from pe. A third grader. A 9 year old tried to STEAL. It is just kinda dumb at this point
There's literally a group chat in my school for people to organise what started as devious licks but is currently "making sure they only steal stuff that's not funded by the teachers" and i dont know how to feel about it...
how about they just stop stealing things??? I understand the sentiment but could they just not steal things ? I don’t get why it’s so hard to be a decent person now
@@saspititebecause they're high-school kids trying to get in on a trend and have some fun without their teachers having to pay damages. You're telling me you never nicked a pen or anything from school?
This trend just feels really... Uncomfortable? Like, personally I'm not laughing about it. Even on a normal basis it feels wrong to have to shut down bathrooms or limit bathroom usage, let alone during a pandemic in which we're all supposed to wash our hands super often... Outside of that, maybe I'm just a goody-two-shoes but stealing anything from a school feels wrong, let alone all these "big" items and not, say, an expo marker. I don't know, feels weird and gross. Hope it ends soon.
Nah, you’re completely right. Since schools often put the cost of supplies onto teachers, who are already underpaid, stealing ends up hurting the people who are most disadvantaged. It’s not edgy, it’s not rebellious, it’s just causing pain because kids think it’s fun apparently.
@@antiantiderivative yeah, you're right. The concept of stealing something ridiculous like a soap dispenser was funny at first, but actually doing it isn't, and it has terrible consequences. (especially when tons of kids are doing it)
Yeah. I think it’s kind of funny, but not funny enough to make it okay or make me want to do it, yk? The biggest thing for me is that people don’t even WANT these items. Like tf you gonna do with an exit sign? All the people I know who steal take from big corporations and take things that they actually want and will use. Which I’m not exactly advocating for, but at least I can see the appeal there, contrasted with people stealing shit they don’t want and have no use for from teachers who don’t get paid enough anyways and are literally only there to try and help you out.
Yeah, I'm not a kid anymore, but even when I was I felt like shit if I accidentally broke something and I would never have been able to just steal stuff from school. I don't get how people can just go about their lives like that and not feel guilty as hell.
My school has been targeted by a couple of sophomores for this trend and it honestly isn't funny. Maybe the TikTok will be funny but this actually affects people. They broke some bathroom essentials and sanitization stands that we NEED to stay healthy during these times. Stole some signs too. And my principal, the sweetest lady you could have ever asked for, had to send out a heartbreaking message to all of us that our school has essentially been vandalized. There are only 3 custodians for the entire school and they had to clean up the mess those kids left behind, not to mention that the damage will take away funding for clubs from the students. Doing this isn't an act of comedy, but an act of pure heartlessness and a lack of empathy for literally everyone around you.
Being a school custodian and not having tiktok makes going into work everyday a "fun" roulette of what vandalism and graffiti I get to clean up that day
I agree with this but I have found ones that are actually funny(they are mostly as jokes though), like one of the ones I thpught was funny was when students(with the teachers consent) would put a bag over the teachers head and pretend they were stealing the teacher, but the ones that are funny and harmless are very rare and most of the time it is just students stealing supplies that everyone at the school needs or supplies the teachers paid for.
Literally every single soap dispenser at my school is gone. When new ones were put up, they were gone in a half an hour or so. Its gotten to the point where the school is actively telling students via announcements to bring personal soap and sanitizer because they have given up. And since they gave up, more random items have been getting stolen, smartboard markers, computers, projectors, even one of the pride flags in the library. It's gotten so god damn annoying going to class only for the teacher to have had an item stolen that is needed for the lesson.
The books, craft supplies, fidget toys, and games in my classroom are things I bought for my students out of my own pocket. I'd be PISSED if kids were stealing those things. Teachers have been through quite enough.
As someone who attends a public high school, the boys bathroom is currently shut down due to the devious licks, and some teachers don’t want to send you to the bathroom because they’re worried you’ll steal stuff. This shit’s real and it sucks
Yes some people are saying that it’s just stealing from the teachers but what there taking is provided by the school I would assume they have backups or they definitely do now
This isn't sticking it to the administration. This is just further harming the people the administration doesn't help. It just worsens the problems with the administrations. Also thank god I graduated last year.
To some level it is sticking it to administration. However I doubt that the overall context of what their actions will effect and how is being considered by most or even many of the people taking part in this trend. It could have been a directed statement to the admin, but clout was more important, so we get petty theft being self reported instead. The could have been deviously licking things that schools waste money on to draw attention to it, but the clout goggles are near sighted.
Don’t steal to get your way and claim its to “send” a message. The only thing your doing is making people who are innocent lose privileges small and, big.
The interesting thing is, I'm a public high schooler. Our school is known as one of the "good ones", but we're still really underfunded and often short on materials. We had a (home) football game against a private boarding school where half the kids are millionaires, and this morning half of everything was gone. Soap and hand sanitizer dispensers, eyewash stations, music stands, 2/3rds of the balls, even the urinal dividers. I'm pro-sticking it to the administration, but it's not rebellious when it's kids with an Olympic size pools in their backyards stealing soccer balls from a public school.
I wish Jarvis had talked about the possibility of stealing from schools you don’t go to. Less self destructive and, to me at least, more morally interesting.
They should give these kids an opportunity to give back the items with no punishment. It may not be as satisfying as punishing them, however, it will get the items back more often than not and prevent having to use more of the teacher's salaries to pay for replacing these items.
@@Armera Exactly why when i threw toilet paper in the girls bathroom in third grade, i never wanted to admit it because i was scared i would get into trouble, so i didn't and never got caught, they were suspicious that it was me but not enough to know it was me so i just kind of stopped.
@@xstrawberryaveryx9550while that could be a good idea I really doubt that a school could afford that if they can barely afford to replace the stolen soap dispensers
Man, the only things I stole were art supplies so I could continuously work on my sketchbook. My art teacher literally saw me gather a handful of colors and then pointed out the watercolor pencils I had missed. Cool guy.
our art teachers were super cool too, we could literally just ask for materials/ to use a tool for personal projects and they'd let you. But we also are better funded in Germany I think plus we paid like 1€ per semester per person when we did an expensive "topic" (art medium)
That's amazing! Reminds me of my art teacher, she would bring all the old art stuff from her house that she never used, put it in a huge bag and tell the students to choose what they want from it
as someone with a VERY heavy period, if this happened at my school and they had to shut the bathrooms down i would stay home. i would legitimately bleed everywhere, and as disgusting as that may sound its true. 😕
same. it happened at my school, we couldn't go to the bathroom until lunch (1:30) and I just stayed home. the only way you could go while on your period was if you told the teacher in front of the entire class that you would bleed through your pants if you couldnt go.
Just in case this does happen at your school i recommend trying the nurses office. They always have a private bathroom that can be monitored so I'm sure it won't be closed
I have a heavy period too but I hate changing my pads at school so I just wait until after. ✨ 😀 I don't even go to the bathroom til I get home because that shit is no.
Yeah they shut down the bathrooms when i was in middle school. Thing i learned is just dont follow the rules and if you set everyones expectations of your low enough you can just kind of do whatever and people are just happy you showed up.
My teacher was talking about this today, she was talking about how most of the stuff in the classroom is bought by the teacher's. And the teacher's don't get paid shit. If you see decorations or rugs or anything in the classroom that isn't made in China or government owned, it's from the teacher. It's just plain heartless honesty
My school actually banned us all bathroom access because someone stole a handdryer twice (the second time was the last straw because they set the bathroom on fire also for some reason), I remember passing by these staff workers and asking what happened. I was told "The sweet little angels here stole a handdryer", and I cannot tell you enough how sarcastically sweet she sounded.
At my school recently, a group of kids did a “devious lick” where they burst into the classroom, picked a guy up, and started dragging him around while the teacher was telling them to stop. I think the school took the tiktok down but the poor dude was screaming and confused
Update: so apparently that same group of kids also used the school printer to print out QR codes to their tiktok profiles? And that was why no one could use the printers for three days
I think the most frustrating part is that, at my school, the already underpaid and overworked janitors are being forced to deal with the effects. Kids aren’t doing a clean job and breaking the dispensers to get to the soap inside, someone took the soap out and put it in the toilet, etc. My school makes the janitors fix all of this…
Omg i can imagine how bad it is for them. Janitors often treated like shit and this just make their job worse. Idk why people doesn't think that doing these stuff is a crime
back in middle school if you did something bad but not enough for an outside of school suspension theyd make help the custodians which is a good idea for the kids who are doing these. but nope my school arresting kids..
Dude I legit hate people who do this, like actually. My friends have been doing it and I told them I hope they get in trouble. They tried to make me do it and I was like “nahhhh” like it’s messed up. I’m sorry for your janitors dude it’s honestly sucks.-
Same, someone made it out with stall doors too. It's just- how are they doing this without at least being seen? Most of the damage has been in the 900s building (an area that is genuinely like a second small campus that takes a full 10 minutes to walk through) BUT SERIOUSLY. EVEN IF ITS A PART OF CAMPUS WITH VERY LITTLE PEOPLE- HOW DID *NO ONE* SEE SOMEONE CARRYING A WHOLE STALL DOOR-
I feel like the ppl who steal sinks and WHOLE ASS STALL DOORS are the ones that are actually bored due to quarantine, thus unleashing it at school. I don't condone it, but that just feels like a prank
@@plebweeb8868 seriously I'm more concerned on how they're doing it to begin with. It requires tools, and then you gotta walk all the way out with it- I get being bored but like- dang.
Some jerks went in the band room and stole five instruments: a bass clarinet, an alto saxophone, a tenor saxophone, a tuba, and 2 tubas. Totaling out to about 15k in instruments. It’s horrible I hate the people who did. My instrument was my own personal bass clarinet that I bought with my own money. I’m devastated. It was a buffet bass clarinet and mine was about 5k (I got mine used). Ok im done ranting, anyways thanks for the video.
@@wildlylucky thankfully yes, this was pretty recent at the time. And you know it’s middle school. They just can’t shut up abt anything. So they were caught rather quickly.
I hope this trend dies before it escalates into “I just went to Jimmy’s house and hit the most devious of licks!!!” *shows Jimmy’s mother tied up in the back.
There's angelic yields now too, and it's a better trend than the devious licks. I saw a guy buy a mini fridge and put it into the restroom with snacks.
The girls at my school doin the opposite. They're decorating the bathroom with themed ideas: Danny Devito, Remy the rat shrine, and Rubber Duckies. Its actually pretty neat at my school and I enjoy the decorating antics. My schools pretty neat and I wish people would do this instead
When I was a senior in high school they started closing and locking 80% of the bathrooms pretty much all the time (because people were vaping in them) and it made school so much more difficult. Especially because going to the bathroom ended up taking you out of class for 10-20 minutes because you had to go around the entire school looking for a bathroom that was open. I feel awful for kids who are having all their bathrooms taken away because of this trend because that has an actual impact on learning.
Yeah when i was in highschool a few years ago they would close the bathrooms after a certain hour because people would smoke weed and have fights in the restrooms.
My old school's bathrooms got closed off because some kid (they never caught them) was spreading fecal material all over the stalls. After reopening, they were promptly closed because some dimwit that it would be funny to jump on the sinks, which immediately fell to the ground. Keep in mind that this was a middle school...
Never used the bathroom much but when I did all the soap was gone the moment I heard of the Devious lick trend I already knew everything would just be gone someone stole a whole projector and toilet
Worst prank I ever performed in high school was drawing a little bird with a sombrero and the word "tequilla" at lunch time every time we had a Spanish class in the afternoon. Every time without fail our Spanish teacher would have this incredulous little argument with herself like "that wouldn't even be right, that would be pronounced "tek-ee-ya", not "tek-ila", before erasing it. Kids these days are truly devious
I work as a janitor in a private high school and it’s been hectic since this trend has started. You’d think that by working in a private school we’d have plenty of supplies but nope, we’re constantly running low and obviously whoever owns the school doesn’t want to spend much money on supplies. Just recently some kids in the boys restroom made all the toilet paper completely wet so I decided not to replace that toilet paper. They also somehow took the paper towel dispenser off the wall 🤷🏻♀️. It’s just really annoying and inconsiderate especially when these kids parents are paying for them to attend this school. Just had to rant about that lol.
Yep my high school is bad… the exit sign was ripped out the ceiling in one of the boys locker rooms. They got caught, but like…😐 just don’t do it… more examples like a bathroom sink and the teachers air freshener
The thing that pisses me off a lot is all the stuff that's a safety hazard (like high voltage or speed limit signs) but also all the minor stuff that kids and teachers pay for. The art room in my old high school had tons of supplies and it really had no shortage of stuff to use, because the 2 art teachers joined in and funded it all. We even had the good posca pens. And even then, theft was a serious problem. You're literally ruining a teacher if you steal their supplies
Teachers buy SO much out of pocket. My Mother is a teacher and spends a lot to make her classroom better for her kids and a better experience for them. It makes me so sad that students can’t see this.
my mom is also a teacher. we have literally bought beds, clothing and food for kids in her class who didnt have any. wish fuckin anyone but those families understood how much teachers do and how much they care for these little shits.
@@maggotlord7934 literally!! My mom has been teaching for over 10 years now and we go back to school shopping for HER too every year, just for extra supplies for kids who couldnt afford to get enough for their own classes!!
Yeah my mom is a teacher. The amount of time and money she spends on students is crazy. She’s an elementary teacher and a lot of times she’s paying for snacks for kids, backpacks, notebooks, crayons, etc. she even buys students Halloween costumes if they can’t afford one (she teaches at a very low income school). I’m honestly happy she doesn’t teach high school because thinking of the students who she spends so much effort on ignoring that and stealing from her upsets me
yes! this!!! im an assistant teacher and i have already bought so much for kids who have been struggling since the pandemic, and now we've had not only DOORS stolen, but wifi routers were pulled out, alternative seating has been taken, and its costs so much money to replace these things, we probably wont even get the routers or alt seating back. its so frustrating.
@@annalivingtv yeah, my Mother is currently teaching elementary too. I asked her and so far her school has been safe but the middle school and highschool here havent been
My school was under construction and had two (VERY LARGE, like 8ft high) piles of bricks sitting on the blacktop. One day, we show up and they're gone. Nobody really thinks anything of it until the dean comes on the announcements and asks us if anyone can identify four students caught on the security cameras the night before. Apparently, some kids had broken in and stolen every last brick. The only remnants of the bricks were two vaguely brick pile-shaped outlines of dust.
I’m an RA in a college dorm, and this has been such an exhausting trend. Half the smoke detectors in my building are missing because people have stolen it. People have stolen signs, huge white boards, other students’ decorations, and so many more things. Someone literally stole the poster with emergency contact info on it outside my door yesterday. We’ve been just swamped with all of this and it makes me hesitant to even decorate for Halloween
Deadass, someone late last night ripped our Halloween decorations of our door and then hid them in a damn corner at the end of the hallway. I hate this crap.
I was only in a dorm my freshman year and I had a decoration stolen and the girl across from me got raided because she was hosting parties where they were smoking excessive amounts of weed. I could never be an RA, yall are something else to deal with underclassmen along with your own school stuff
It's certainly sad that it's increasing, but I remember it happening so often when I was in college before the pandemic. Especially as a freshman. 👀 Like please stop stealing my dollar tree decorations and lunchroom banana masked taped to the door.
@@prettyyinpossible it’s basically the opposite of this one where people put soap in the bathroom- although a lot of times it just seems as if people are doing their job restocking and such but i have seen someone put like bar soap in the bathroom because their soap dispenser got stown
when devious licks happened at my school my entire grade was pulled into an hour long powerpoint/speech on why we shouldn't steal. They also banned bathroom use unless it was during passing period or you used the one bathroom (that you could only use one at a time) near the principal's office. (only applied to boys I think)
Put cameras outside the bathroom obviously braindead teachers they deserve to have everything they own stolen Outside the bathroom exists And then a sound sensor for the sound of things being dismantled instantly fixed
I feel so bad, I’m an online highschool student because it’s convenient for my family, but all my friends are in-person kids, and all of them tell me everyday how the soap dispensers are gone, doors are gone, *someone stole the ashes of a teachers daughter that she keeps on her desk* , this isn’t funny. Please if you’re an in-person student try to stop others from doing this, please know what you’re doing harms people.
What the heck!!! That’s the worst one I’ve heard yet...The pain of losing your child, then having her ashes stolen for Internet clout?? Man, I hate it here. Much love to that teacher.
As a hard of hearing person (I’m not completely deaf, I have auditory processing issues and my hearing is muffled) I really appreciate that you make sure your videos are properly captioned. I struggle to watch RU-vid videos a lot because there’s either no subtitles or they’re complete nonsense
I did the morning announcements for three years in high school and we always did the pledge of allegiance. One time, I forgot the words and started making something up. My teacher wouldn’t let me back into the classroom until I got it right, lol. What a strange thing
You don't have to stand for the pledge. They aren't allowed to make you. That is illegal. They should have just said it is ok to sit down if you don't know it.
Personally my school had always had an issue with theft that the administration refused to address until they were having their own things stolen. That was the only positive I could really get out of it for my school, the admins having to finally call out the issues the school had with stealing
Let me paint the picture for you: large highschool, with more than 3,000 kids. 3 floors total with a ton of other buildings and add-ons. Due to my school district struggling with devious licks so bad (one schools floor was completely flooded due to someone ripping a drinking fountain+cup filler off the wall, over 2,000 dollars in damages.) They now shut down all the bathrooms except one on every floor. In the ENTIRE HUGE BUILDING. Not to mention that now people could only do their 'frivolous activities' in one restroom. I walked into the woman's bathroom and about 7 kids were vaping infront of the mirror, 20 more girls walked in after some of them left, the stalls are constantly full, it smells like a perfume shop mixed with a little bit of weed, every stall is in use always, pp juice/other substances on the walls and toilet paper holder, and the stalls themselves were wrecked. Sure the bathrooms themselves before work much to look at but at least the kids would spread out to do their 'business'. Everyone is so cramped in the bathrooms that I don't know how the guys even go anymore. Let's just say I would definitely go back in time to keep this trend from happening if it meant that my bathroom times are in peace.
I'm personally a real "Yeah, stick it to the man" kinda guy but in order to do that you gotta stick it to *The Man.* Not the underfunded school staff that are victims of the system themselves.
Yep. I have a good friend who’s a high school teacher and he’s constantly at odds with administration, the school district, parents, students, everyone makes his job impossible. Things like just make him have a harder time doing what he actually is there to do, aka teach kids.
The only scenario I can see something like this "sticking it to the man" would be to purposely destroy/steal something *already delapitated or in need or repair* in order to force the administration to replace it. (ie. Wanksy, vandal who drew dicks on potholes so city council immediately covers them)
The microscope one hurt. My mom teaches general science/biology at a public school. I just helped her set up her classroom for the year, and she had to do all of these crazy trades and jumps through hoops to get 10 working microscopes--for 30+ students per class. This directly hurts teachers AND students. :/
@@royalblanket people that do that stuff don't care about morality. They are just doing stupid stuff to get a few likes. The more crazy and stupid it is the more views it'll get (like stealing a class pet).
this stuff does actually hurt people. the bathrooms being closed means that kids will have to hold in their business, which is really bad since it can lead to a UTI. plus, if some kids have kidney issues or other problems that may affect their going to the bathroom, it’s even worse for them
THIS!! And it also hurts the school that is criminally underfunded, and the teachers that buy supplies out of their own pocket. This dumbasss trend is actually hurting people.
@@jlo9993 adding to the topic of periods, if you leave a pad or tampon there, it could be very unsanitary and unhealthy to the girls wearing them, especially tampons since you could get TSS or something
I just don’t see how any of this is really “sticking it to the man” you know? It’s just inconveniencing your fellow classmates and the teachers/staff. It makes things worse ONLY for the people who are already dealing with crap.
I’m my opinion, it might have started like that, but that’s not how trends work. Trends don’t aim to actually do anything but seem cool. For some reason, it’s now cool to hurt your teachers who have put so much into bettering the lives of their students
@@QuantumBoogaloo stuff like this makes me glad I left high school before people started acting any more nuts then they already were in like 2017 and before.
one time, i stole markers from my school. 6 of them, one of every color of the rainbow. i’ve felt guilty ever since. cant imagine how these people do it. like- have you no shame?
Great video Jarvis. I've been seeing a counter trend very recently on TikTok of "Angelic Yields" from some students returning / adding items as a way to 'bless' the space. Like a bathroom stall with a potted plant, extra toilet paper, a tv, etc. Would love to see a follow up video from ya on it if applicable.
my school’s staff has tried to stop the trend by putting the “Ugly Plant Challenge” which is where you pose by a plant you think is ugly. i don’t know why they thought this would work lmao
Maybe they thought that the clout obessed losers that were stealing shit from the bathrooms would be so idiotic that they would reveal their crimes, by going through the "Ugly Plant Challenge" , showing that they would do anything for internet fame no matter how stupid.
Same- Im part of the middle school vex robotics team and my teacher locks the stuff in our closet in hopes that someone wont break it open and take the stuff since last year we didnt get to do robotics and the year before that the states championship was cancelled 2 days before due to covid-
I remember when devious licks were happening I was at middle school and I literally couldn’t use the bathroom because everything was either stolen, or absolutely destroyed.
My favorite part of this trend is the side thats delivering angelic yields such as better toilet paper and nicer soaps into the bathrooms. Really warms my heart
When I was in high school someone jerry rigged our fire-alarms to go off everyday at 11 o’clock, legally we had to evacuate until the fire department did a full walk through, no one could figure out how to stop it, it went on for months freshmen had their lunch time cut in half, a guy tried to brag about being behind it and he got the shit beaten out of him.
He deserved to get beat up, but this is even worse. Innocent teachers who are just doing their job and students are litterally getting robbed. And what baffles me is that no one seems ro be getting caught.
I have three siblings who are teachers: they spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms. To think that someone stole that rack of scissors without regard; like it’s more than just scissors, that’s the care that someone put into getting it despite being underpaid themselves.
It's like these kids exist in a venn diagram overlap where one circle represents people that least deserve to be there, and the other represents people that need to be there the most out of everyone
My mother is a teacher and I can tell she puts a lot of work and money into her classroom, we’re incredibly lucky that my dad is the most successful salesman in our region for cranes, so she has a lot of resources and money to help her class, I’m just glad her students didn’t do that as I know it would hurt her
i remember some junior boys tearing the doors off of all the stalls in the bathroom. Boys weren't allowed to got to the bathroom for the rest of the day (private christian school), and they all got called into an assembly. I wasn't there, but I spoke to one of my male friends afterwords, and apparently out straight based dean of students, never smiled, always yelled at you fro dress code, yelled to a group of high school boys: "I KNOW ABOUT YOUR DEVIOUS LICKS!" and the whole group lost it, and they canceled the assembly 😂
In middle school I had a super sweet Spanish teacher who had the patience of a saint. I still remember the look of disappointment on her face when she stepped out of the room for like three minutes only to come back and find that her favorite water bottle was stolen off of her desk. Not an ounce of anger, just pure disappointment.
@@pizzatime.7030 the fact that you manage to make every single point my teacher made when we were talking about this in class amazes the hell out of me

At my school we had three buildings and one of them was a religious school building with a church. That building was targeted the most and specifically the bathrooms for the church.
as a class of 2021 high school grad, watching all of the drama go down with this trend feels like calmly walking out of a building and having it blow up behind me.
One thing I find interesting though is that, at least at my school, the girls bathroom has been completely unaffected. No stolen soap dispensers, paper towels, toilet paper, nothing. The administration had to clarify over the intercom that it was only the boys bathrooms
Dang, all of the bathrooms were affected in my middle school. After orientation, in the boys bathroom someone snatched off the damn soap dispenser and it just went downhill from there and paint apparently got all over the place.
@@emilykrey5319 but it ruins it for the rest of us, and it’s destruction of school property, they shouldn’t be let to do what they please just because it shows maturity level. /nm
Godamm bathroom sexism. I hate it when that happens.(not really a joke, I just feel like boys bathrooms are always treated, like three times worse? Maybe I'm wrong, it just feels like that a lot of that kinda thing y'know?)
We were telling devious lick stories in one of my classes, and one kid’s mom is a teacher, and her student stole 5 microscopes, and the school is making her replace them OUT OF POCKET! Microscopes are EXPENSIVE MAN! Like, $1,000 a piece sometimes
In my middle school, people stole soap/soap dispensers, and in the restrooms, people all hated how it got stolen, so in a way, I kind of found it as a bonding moment between students, since we all got to have something in common that we all hated: Having soap/soap dispensers stolen. But it was also annoying, since people just wanted to wash their hands, but it also meant an increase of hand sanitizers being available in classrooms, so that was good.
And I just realized, at my middle school, there was a time where someone stole the math teacher's phone. No one knew who did it, but the teacher ended up buying a new phone. It became the talk of the school year.
I remember when I was in high school we had a gun threat at one point, where we were stuck in our classes hiding out for hours then all led to the gym. Once it was starting to clear up, our principal spoke and said that we did a really good job and showed that it "was great to be a beaver" (our school's mascot). I just thought, similar to the principal in the morning announcements, that it's such a strange place to bring in school spirit. Like, that has nothing to do with the matter at hand and kinda trivializes it.
shit, I actually had a really similar experience!! it was after a bomb threat, and the principal kept saying how well we handled it and 'go abes' on the announcements. it felt like satire in real time
Usually when you see news stories about the latest "dangerous trend all of the teens are doing", the dangerous trends are either complete hoaxes or only one or two people actually did the thing and the news is sensationalizing. This seems to actually be spreading though which is crazy.
100%. I always hate it whenever the news has an upcoming story where "experts warn that new viral tik tok trend is dangerous", and it's fucking two people that would do something dumb and everyone online was already jumping on them. like teens don't need experts to inform them that using magic erasers to brush your teeth is bad. but this genuinely serious, and it's frustrating that the 24 hour news cycle has completely watered down what a dangerous trend is.
@@slightlyoffensivedadjokes Remember that whole (racist) myth about how people in Africa would defecate in bags or bottles, let it ferment, and then huff the fumes to get high? They called it "jenkem". I remember a news channel reporting on it as if it was the hot new dangerous drug craze that parents needed to protect their kids from. That never happened.
As a high school student…. I honestly think that this epidemic is a result of the sudden realization among students that soon they’ll be adults with ACTUAL consequences to their actions (e.g. jail time) and wanting to do something about it. Unfortunately, these students have found probably the worst way ever to deal with that feeling
the "funny" part is they can still face charges if they're old enough, so there's going to be consequences - legally, as opposed to the consequence of you not being able to even use the restroom or something.
Much agreed. At that age, I didn't commit any questionable actions or even get in fights. When ever I think about it, I feel a borderline fucking panic attack, realizing that I my opportunity to have fun and do questionable shit is all dead and gone. Years of wasted opportunity
@@houselightkell - meh, don't feel bad about not "taking the chance" to be a piece of shit. Honestly this points to widespread stunted emotional development in these kids, which isn't something to be proud of.
Actually it's because teenagers crave attention so bad they'll resort to anything to get it. I was one I would know haha I mean even the angsty ones only act that way when people are watching
As a teacher in school during a pandemic, this trend DEFINITELY makes me feel appreciated and DEFINITELY not even more stressed than I need to be right now🙃
I'm a student and I just wanna apologize, teachers right now are just working their asses off and then not getting paid a fraction of what they deserve. thank you so much for spreading knowledge even though the world is just crumbling to pieces
Theres a chance a metior will strike in which case all sims would run out the building apart from scholl where the children stay inside and will always die
i'll be honest, i was and still am extremely surprised this trend didn't spread to my school. i went to an EXTREMELY southern vocational high school, and i'd often hear a lot of talk in the halls about "man i wonder when the trend will start here" and surprisingly enough it just never did.
the way I heard about this challenge was when my principal came over the intercom to explain the damage and then said “so I’m starting a new tiktok trend: principals issuing suspensions; and in this case snitches do not get stitches, they get free tickets to football games and letters of recommendation”
I'd love to see "Devious Suspensions" as the next Tik Tok trend. Make them pose with their Licks like those pictures of Dogs next to the thing they destroyed.
Someone at my school tried to steal a urinal and ended up causing 50,000 dollars in damage. Now their parents have to deal with it because the school is suing them. They are now going to be tried in juvenile court aswell. 😃 It really isn't worth it, it inconveniences everyone around you, it's not funny you're just a nuisance.
My school got a whole sink and the dividers between bathroom stalls stolen last week. So now the only boys bathroom on the second level is closed for god knows how long
@@Kid_Blue yeah, normally it would be partially the parents' fault, but there really is nothing you can do about having a stupid tiktok kid. that sounds miserable, never have children.
I’ve been out of high school for a year now and I’m honestly amazed at how intense my school was about this. My school district just opened a brand new campus my senior year so when this trend started my high school’s building was two years old. As you’d imagine the administration was very protective of the campus they just dropped millions of dollars into and were baffled to find all of the bathroom stalls, the mirrors, a sink and even some security cameras stolen among the licks. Apparently it got so bad that my principle actually started bribing the students to give names of who was stealing shit. He would give them $50 in cash or let them get a free day of school if the name they dropped actually was found to have stolen shit.
Honestly, I'd find it to be a successful job to hand to kids. Bribing them to find the thieves stealing stuff can actually encourage kids to help while making money.
We have a dog at our school, she's our mascot and comes class to class for treats and support. There's been rumors of people that are going to try and steal her,,, that's just messed up at this point, traumatizing a dog just for a trend
@@thepinkestpigglet7529 Oh they do, my English teacher warned us about it. And if we take the dog, we must suffer the wrath of her she says, which I can see
people who steal from teachers/schools never made sense to me. like how would you feel if you were trying to do your work and someone just came up and yoinked your pencil case or your computer or something
In my day we just bullied each other (aka senior pranks), and actually the seniors in my class got all kinds of flak for the way they treated the kids when we did ours. Otherwise it was stupid stuff like moving all unsecured bicycles to the roof or chalking the principal's windshield.
during lunch, this kid named Mike, walked up to get a napkin, he grabbed one, glanced around, and proceeded to pick up the *entire* napkin dispenser, and just bolted past the security guards and out of the cafeteria. The security guards just stared at eachother, looked at the kid running away, and started jogging after him. 3 hours later and there's a picture of the napkin dispenser on Mike's snap story, he got it home. Now we get handed one napkin as we walk into the cafeteria.
Some kid at my middle school slapped an exit sign off the ceiling and ran off with it. I almost got in trouble because I was standing right next to him.
My girlfriend is legit a bathroom security guard and has to check every stall after someone has used it. She said that she’s caught people that have just peed all over the walls. Not many people are willing to admit that they did it even when she checks every bathroom every time.
@@engineerbot I really do be wondering who be doing this kind of stuff. People are leaving their poop and urine in the bathrooms, and it really is getting me wondering how tf you don't remember to flush.
@@MauveMimi we just LOVE doing it for the SAKE of doing it!! pissing on the walls is so FREEING. throwing my shit on the walls and smearing it all around is ARTISTIC.
Last week, my school had a whole announcement about this trend and how people need to stop doing it. I didn’t completely hear it though because I was in the locker room and it was really loud, I heard about it from a friend. That same day as I was about to walk out, I literally saw the front of a soap dispenser in the sink, and to no surprise, the bag of soap inside was gone. Another time, I was walking through the halls with my friend and she pointed at an open bathroom. The paper towel dispenser was gone. I hope it doesn’t get any worse even though I’ve only seen it twice, but I’m already tired of it lol.
Yeah same. Kids are doing this at my high school. The principal yelled over the intercom in the middle of 7th hour. Now if we go to the bathroom for over 5 minutes we immediately get sent to the office and get detention.
@@lulucool45 I have lost all faith in humanity, including the next generation. If they really think this is funny I think you should to lose faith in it too.
For me, I’ve always had to fill out passes to go ANYWHERE in school. In middle school, we had to fill out these logs of where we’re going and at what time, and then take a pass with us after filling that out. In high school, we have to create these virtual passes that have to be approved by the teacher before we go. About the whole bathroom thing, someone clogged a toilet with paper towels, making it so that paper towels were BANNED IN THE BATHROOMS, so after we washed our hands, you either dried them off onto your pants, or got paper towels from the classroom. People just don’t care about the consequences of their actions as long as they think what they did was funny.
like three kids at my school have been arrested for stealing things from bathrooms. mostly soap dispensers but a guy has gotten a toilet seat and some girl somehow stole a toilet apparently.
In my school my friend hit a hand sanitazer dispenser that it started to shoot out the hand sanitazer until it was empty and yesterday it was replaced and he Turned it off
As an ex-high school teacher, I'm quite surprised to learn that some hs boys do, in fact, USE the soap dispensers in the bathrooms. I'm happy to have learned this.
I always used it as a teen in high school, but a lot of guys didn't and I think much of the time a lot of them only did it when there was someone else in there with them and they did it because of social pressure. Someone else in the bathroom washing their hands makes it more likely others will because they don't wanna be seen not doing so lol
Totally agree, thank you for talking about this. As someone who intends to be a teacher, it saddens me a bit that this sort of energy these kids are displaying isn't productive. As upsetting as it is, I think the story that made me the angriest was the one a teacher shared on Reddit about their corn snake being stolen and let go by a student all for some "clout." I really hope some closure can be brought to the teachers that had their stuff stolen and the students not supporting blatant theft and vandalism.
@@Origoclient they’d probably find a way to post that on TikTok for clout too. “Look I got put in after school prison for freeing a captive snake. Top that.” Then the next trend is seeing what you can do to land in detention for the rest of the year
I want to be an ece teacher and i totally agree with you. Why not put this energy into sports, art, or school work? Why ruin something that affects everyone (including the person who did it)? Bathrooms are necessary and these kids ruined it for 5 seconds of fame. The kids at my school who did this got reported to the police, fined (800+), and suspended
Wait holy shit that happened at the middle school my Little sisters are attending rn!!! And i went to it as well! I loved that snake and i loved the teacher that had it man and when my sisters told me someone had let it loose i lost my shit. I had no idea it was a devious lick!!!
the first two or three were pretty funny but as it progressed and escalated, i just felt frustrated especially for the teachers. good thing there’s a new trend arising called the angelic yield and i find that to be the better trend out of the two
