I did the same in 8th or 9th grade, but on purpose and I sent a crap ton. The admin stormed in and yanked the laptop out of my hands and revoked my PC privileges for ~3 months. Fun.

You where NOT taught to check that you are not turning into/across some one? WTH? When doing a maneuver you check your mirror AND turn your head. If you are not taught this I shudder to think what else where left out of your so-called
