Anyone else notice how he said ‘less than three’ instead of heart? 3:07
I thought I was the only one who saw that and thought it was a new trend or "nerd" language that has somehow passed me AGAIN 😂 I liked it though
HAHAHAHAHA I'm so glad you found this!
@@evan this reminds me of you saying lamow instead of lmao
I'm confused why would he say heart?
someone explain it to me im feeling dumb
The true UK school experience: learning to go the entire school day without needing the loo
My brother holds it in and literally runs home at half 3 to go 🙃😂
Sophie Melissa why does he hold it in? he can just go at break or lunch
I go to school in the UK and when u ask to go the teacher just
says u should have gone a break
It's really annoying
mostly not even because of the bathroom rules... the school toilets are just manky
I can go without using the bathroom for 10-12 hours whereas some people in my class have to go every 15 minutes
UK teachers when you ask to use the toilet: YoU shOuLD hAVe GoNe aT LuNChtiMe ! ! ! !
I didn't need to go otherwise I would have!
@@winnielewis1749 ohhhh I'm always so tempted to tell her that😂
School teachers: if you're that desperate, you can pee yourself.
Also school teachers: WHY DID YOU PEE ON THE CHAIR? GET OUT!
Needless to say, that teacher never gave me any issues after that. Year 7 was a weird time.
That's Australian teachers too
That phrase is drilled into my brain from year 3 onwards
Favourite line for UK teachers: THE BELL IS FOR ME NOT YOU
polish teachers: same ;)
German teachers also
Uruguayan teaches also
Favorite line for US teachers: THE BELL DOES NOT DECIDE WHEN YOU GET TO LEAVE, I DO
(I heard this exact phrasing from so many different teachers)
Omg. Every South African teacher ever
And seriously the only reason our school in England started putting soap in the toilets was because there was a pandemic
Literally same
felt this
My school had an outbreak of flu(?)(we weren’t sure what it was) where about 150~ of us got it and only then did they restock some of the soap (what was left of it had been there so long that it’d crystallised), we still don’t have soap in the science building, where we work with dangerous chemicals, there is no soap in the vicinity of dangerous chemicals, if we get any on our hands we have to go to another building to wash our hands properly
So true.
Once my school ran out of water ..
we had to go home because it's a safety violation
Teacher: “why didn’t you go during break or lunch?”
*me at break and lunch finding EVERY cubical full of year 10’s smoking 🍁*
Mooood
Same tho
and year 7s eating their lunch in the toilet for no reason
Or kids just hiding from the teachers cuz they either did something bad or they just going on their phone's and they don't want be seen
or kids avoiding lunchtime detention
In the uk if you ask to go to the toilet the teacher will say, “oh, but you just had break/lunch you should have gone then” or another thing they say is “theres 10 mins left until lunch hold it for then”
Oh Well • 7 years ago Or my teacher’s personal favourite, “No”.
This always annoyed me in school. I would always mutter under my breath something like "sorry I can't control my bladder" 😂😂
also the classic "you're not allowed to go during exams so I'm not letting you now" (or something along those lines I don't exactly remember the phrase)
Some of our teachers said that too, so every student when they had to go would just ask exactly halfway through the lesson, so that those arguments weren't valid anymore.
My school locks the toilets during lessons because the teachers kept letting the students out when they weren’t meant to
I'm never sure how to pronounce the 'g' in Edinger, then in the first 2 sentences of this video he pronounced it both ways 🤷♀️
You’re the first person to notice! Haha look at my face as I do it
I'm from scotland and when we need the bathroom we:
-have to wait until break/ lunch
-are told "should have gone before class"
-denied in general
-if you are allowed the teacher must give you a note to make sure you arent stopped on the way there
US here, but I went to a high school where you just get up and go, no questions asked. When we had substitute teachers who'd never been to our school before, they had a hard time believing us and demanded that we raise our hands and ask permission first.
Elementary and middle school, we had to raise our hands and get a hall/restroom pass.
I used to go to school in Scotland. We never needed a note or anything. We just raised our hand and asked and then were allowed to go.
@@rachelcookie321 maybe my school just sucked lmao
I'm British and yeah, in my school, even secondary. Teachers would legit just say "no" or "no, you should've gone during break", unless you had a medical pass which you had to get a doctors note or a note from your parent to take to the nurse to get one. But most of the time the nice teachers would let you go.
Bruh. Here if you say can I go to the bathroom, they say yes or how bad? And all you have to do is pretend it's pretty bad. You might get 1 teacher saying not until you finish your work
The only time I saw something like this is when I was a hall monitor (a thing for the really good 5th graders (year 6 i think) to skip last of class and montior other kids for teachers) a teacher saying no to a 1st grader to go to the bathroom. NO TO A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD. Yeah, fuck her. He and his group asked me from then on, and of course, I let them. Their 7 Karen.
From texas.
Yeah same, it's horrible. When I have my period I don't ask to go to the toilet even when it's very heavy because it's just ingrained in me after years that I won't be allowed to go to the toilet by my teachers.
I have teachers that are the nicest people in lesson but still wont let you go, same with taking blazers off
lnfc rgv Oh my gosh yes why is this a thing. Teachers so obsessed with uniform and everyone looking the same. In our school we didn’t have blazers but they wouldn’t let us take our jumpers off in assembly (unless it was really fucking roasting) and we had school branded hoodies which they encouraged us to buy when they were introduced but then they introduced a policy that we weren’t allowed to wear them in class????? Why???? It’s literally school uniform???
@@nyx.8254 Yeeeeeeees.
When you get that one teacher that doesn't say anything but when one person asks they go,
"Thank you *name* for ~ASKING~ to take your blazer of."
“I don’t know, can you?” - your English teacher
*MAY I?*
Then you say 'yes' and walk out
Alice M My head teacher said if you needed to go to the toilet to just bring a bucket and mop. But he also put his hands down the younger girls skirts if they rolled them up to make them shorter. And creeped over me a few times.
@@noahfarr2524 if true, how the fck was he not reported and fired?
Jacqueline Farr Oml we had a couple of teachers like that in my old school. I remember every year students would make a petition to fire one specific teacher.
Me: Can I go to the toilet?
Teacher: I don’t know, can you?
Me: May I go to the toilet?
Teacher: No, you should have gone in break!
Me: Screams internally
See you should have replied yes then just left.
*Does a posh English accent* "does that sound British?" I can feel the pain of other regions in britain right now. - sincerely a northerner
I also see so much people having the UK flag, and then saying England. Like, i kinda get it, but at the same time not really
@@swisinwisin1746 that's the whole reason I would never fly the union flag at home -it doesn't feel like it actually represents what it's meant to
It really annoys it when people say 'british accent'
as a southener i agree
@@02ladydamned I could, but no-one does that anyways. The union jack is just a flag, it's not anything special as it is in America
In the UK it's just
"You shouldve gone at lunch/break"
Or
"Wait until lunch/break"
No matter how close to lunch or break it is
Even if you had triple lesson
1st half of class: should have gone at break
2nd half: you can wait till break
It was the same for us in New Jersey (at my school at least). So then at lunch the lines for the bathroom were so long you had to make the choice of what is more important, peeing or eating
For me in ireland, Every 3 seconds on the way to the loo
we don’t even get breaks in between periods. you just sometimes have to turn up late to class if you really had to go. The teachers don’t usually let you go to the toilet when you ask because they think you’re trying to “skive” but if the teacher does let you out- a lot of kids do skip class and hang out. No the british kids don’t respect the teachers lol .
so basically you have to wait until break or lunch :)
I go to this next messed up girls school in Birmingham, and I swear to god they have a page in your planner called 'Toilet Breaks' where you have 20 toilet breaks a year, the teacher has to sign the page, write what time you left the class and then what time you come back. Then theres the OG teachers like Ms Whybrow that dont give 2 fucks and let you go regardless
I'm in the UK and this once accualy happened in my physics lesson...
Boy: can I go to the bathroom
Teacher: No
Boy: please
Teacher: you just had break
Boy: I need to go
Teacher: you should have thought about that
Boy: I didn't need to go then
Teacher: I said no
Teacher *starts lesson again*
Boy: okay I'll just piss myself
Teacher *ignores him*
Boy *stands up, walks to teachers palm tree*
Boy: I'll go in your plant then
Boy *starts to get his d**k out*
Teacher: OKAY GO TO THE BATHROOM, YOU HAVE 3 MINUTE'S
You had bathrooms at your school? l feel even more underprivileged now.
r/thathappened
if that happened at my school the kid would have been reported.
I thought that was going to be a girl asks and gets to go story
if this happened at my school, he would have gotten isolation(basically like American detention)
1:40 that "wot?" is the most British he has ever sounded and ever will sound. He did it. He's finally British
Not only that, he's posh British!
I had to rewind it
Omg I just thought that 😂
@@rockracingfan Ok I dont understand the 'posh' thing cos that's how I say it and I'm in no way 'posh'..
@@daringd5 you're posh if you pronounce the 't'
Thems the rules
"May I go to the toilet?"
"No, you should have gone during break!"
"But I didn't need it then!"
EDIT: I forgot to say the toilets are absolutely GROSS because people throw wet toilet paper at the ceiling, block he toilets and there is always one cubicle with poop or blood on the walls. People also hang out in there so I can never pee
Allana Giles sums up the uk pretty good
My life completely
Same in Switzerland
I have heard this so many times
If I (a secondary teacher) am not allowed to go during lessons, then I'm not sympathetic to letting teenagers go then either! So unfair...
I find the irony of the USA's obsession with their flag and how they say it represents their culture and those who have died etc. but when the LGBT community want their flags, their usually met with disgruntled straights who say they find the need for flags unnecessary and annoying.
About the toilet situation in schools, as a welsh teen I can verify that we a) have to put our hand up and ask, and b) probably won't be allowed. And as a country with another language, in primary school and comprehensive we have to ask in welsh... if you're wondering what that's like to say as a young child, here it is, "ga i fynd i'r ty bach os gwelwch yn dda?" Please try and say this evan!
I am also welsh and can confirm!
+1 for "asking in Welsh and maybe still getting rejected"
Omg same only the Welsh wasn't mutated
i’m from america and I’ve seen plenty of lgbt flags in public being represented, even in school.
In regards to flags, moved to USA from Europe, house had a USA flag on it so we replaced it with an EU flag, confused all the neighbours 😂
Lisa k , totally reasonable and they should’ve expected it!
That's funny! But as another EU citizen... I wouldn't even know where you would get one 😅
In school most of the time the teacher will say “you should’ve gone at break” unless you explained that you’re desperate
Even if you said you were desperate you'd get "well I can't leave the classroom to go if I needed to" or from some teachers you'd get "I taught when I was pregnant and I didn't leave the class"
pretty much
Olivia Street they can leave the classroom though. Just need someone to cover them
Yeah that reason was so stupid though.. not everyone actually needs to go at break.i swear most teachers think that as soon as you leave the class to go to break you instantly need to go to the toilet
I just didn't go, unless I was going to die..
YOU SAID “wot?” LIKE A BRITISH PERSON AND IT TRIPPED ME OUT
1:40
I heard this too hahaha
I had to listen twice... he is becoming one of us
He's been here too long
thought it sounded more Australian tbh
I live in Maryland and one time in third grade I got up, grabbed the hall pass, and went to the bathroom. Then when I got back to class, my teacher said out loud to everyone, “And see, Olivia is being rude by going to the bathroom in the middle of reading time.” And I cried because I was embarrassed, and my dad called the school that evening and made an administrator cry lol
When Evan said WHAT at the beginning he literally sounded sooo British 😂
"You should've gone a toilet during break"
"WhAt iF i DoNt nEeD tHe ToILeT DuRinG BreAK"
Basically teachers straight deny you to go to the toilet. Our solution in an emergency, pray
In my school we couldn't go to the toilet during class. I remember when I was in year 8 this one girl was begging the music teacher to let her go to the toilet, and she ended up wetting herself in class. But I went to literally the worst school in Westminster at the time, so I don't know if sadistic teachers was a normal thing. 😂
And as for the time between classes, it was a pain in the arse at my school. The teachers wouldn't let us leave their classroom until the bell went, but then we'd get to our next class, and the teacher would shout at us because we should have been at the door waiting to enter their classroom when the bell went.
Did they expect us to Apparate? Or be in two places at once?! I honestly hated that school so much. 😂
This is literally what happened at my school 😂 people saying they had a few minutes in between classes, our teachers would make us use a time turner if they could to make us get to that next class before the last class had even ended 😂
Lmao yeah. A ton of times the teacher carried on teaching the class about 3-4 minutes after the bell, but when we showed up to our next class the teachers blamed it on us for being late.
As a UK teacher, I have taught kids that ask to go to the toilet just to avoid a particular lesson (they will take 20 mins to walk round the corner). I also have had girls who would ask me and the TA separately so they could "hang out" in the toilets. I have also had kids go to the toilet and then get brought back by the Deputy Head or some other senior manager because they had been messing about in the corridor. Last year we also had a "phantom shitter" who was smearing poo on walls and pooing on the cistern - we tightened up on children going to the toilet during lesson and they stopped/didn't have the opportunity. So I try to strike a balance. I remind the class (Year 6) when they arrive and before/after break and lunch. Then it depends on the time and the child (are they a work avoider who becomes incontinent when they have to put pencil to paper?).
Notice how the voice of reason gets the fewest likes?
1:41 that 'wot' was fully british
He slowly turning to the Tea side!!!!!!! We have biscuits. And of course tea.
Crispy creme anyone?
Yeeeessssss
My schools has 5 minutes between each one hour lesson. About the toilet, we have to ask ofc, but they have so many fking rules. Like teachers will be like
“You just had break/lunch”
“The lesson just started, should’ve gone in the 5 mins”
“There’s 10/20 minutes left just hold it” (that one in particular is rly frustrating)
“Someone else has just gone”
“it’s MAY you go to the bathroom not CAN you, so no you can’t.”
Oh and my favourite-
“No.”
We do love that immediate ‘no.’
It was the same at my school, we had 4 1.25 hour lessons a day, with a 15 minute break between 2nd and 3rd and an hour fir lunch between 3rd and 4th. We had like 2 minutes between 1st and 2nd you physically couldn’t go to the loo. People could only go during class if they had a toilet pass which where given if you had medical issues that hindered your ability to hold your bladder.
Sound like Denmark, minus the no. No one want pee on the floor....
Are you from the Netherlands, because this sounds so Dutch!
may just go to my school lmao, it’s exactly the same here
I remember being whole thing about toilets in school (being from the UK), and people who would drink nearly nothing during the day and not go to the loos. Teachers seemed to basically judge who was asking and decide if they were likely to be faking or trying to skive the lesson and therefore decide if they'd let you go. As a severely bullied kid, my way of coping with that was burying myself in school work and being a bit "goody two shoes", so teachers pretty universally let me go. I also observed the kids who were refused tended to be the ones who were very disruptive, and they'd tend to ask to go in groups, seemingly so the group of them could bunk the class for a while. So teachers would send them one by one each one only allowed to go when the other got back. Seemed to be pretty much entirely based on the teachers judgement of whether or not you would be the type of person to skive the class.
When he says he has a beard but it's really his side burns high fiving under his chin
🤣🤣
Hot take: I think denying someone the request to go to the bathroom is a violation of human rights and should not be allowed.
I'm German and at my school we always had to ask if we could go to the bathroom up until a certain a age. After that it was more of a "letting your teacher know" so they know what you're up to.
FleurDeCerisier most of the time the teachers say yes. It’s for the same reason, Incase there is a fire etc and they need to know where you are. However, some entitled teachers take it as a genuine question and say no. they’re pricks.
Alyssia Shale feel sorry for the kids who literally peed themselves in school cause teachers wouldn’t let them go
Aw lucky! We have to ask but sometimes they say that you can go if you're desperate which people often do to avoid lessons
There were girls in my school that had to be very upfront about needing to go to the restroom to change their pad or tampon to be able to get a pass from a teacher and maybe still be denied. Some would just walk out and get in trouble anyway.
(hi from germany too whoop) could never imagine the school actually hiring a teacher or somebody to check the people wandering around.. also because they'd always be mixed with the people how are just not in a classroom coz of a free period...
1:42 that was the most British "what?" That exists and im british
Yeah I though the same thing, I’m British too
1:41
Yes! So true!
WOT
In my British school we don’t even have soap and water in the toilets - and this didn’t change when covid became a thing. We are supposed to go back on the 15th of June and they probably still won’t have soap and water because the schools are so underfunded
Wtf
Also you've practically received a blessing from above if you find a hand dryer that works, toilet paper in the holder, or a toilet seat without some mysterious liquid on it in a British school.
Or the soap dispenser would be full of soap (FOR ONCE) but just didn't work
What?? My elementary school had *very* clean toilets! Oh wait- I just remembered we were funded by David Ross
I’m so lucky my school the toilets and shit are horrible and stuff but we literally get ipads (our parents have to pay for them but still) although not that long ago half of the roof collapsed and destroyed a lot of the school
"Can I got to the toilet?"
"I dont know can you?"
"Yes"
Stands up and leaves
How have I never heard/thought of this response before?
"London is a different country" it's funny cuz it's true 😂😂
It’s like how Amsterdam is nothing like the rest of the the Netherlands. Even tho all expats seem to think it is. For some reason.
that's kind of the opposite of "england is my city"
@@frogandtoady not really.......Technically the City of London is separate from London and the Queen isn't allowed to enter without permission. It's kinda wierd, I think it's a Principality or it's a holdover from the Roman Empire or something. I don't really know or understand why I just remember that the Queen needs permission to enter lol.
Yeah whenever I go traveling to another country, I always remember to visit both a big city and the more rural areas, it gives a more complete picture of the culture
We don’t even have periods between classes and teachers would always ask why are you late? And they you have to respond ‘sir let us out late’.
They made our break time shorter at school because you apparently can’t walk from one side of the school to the other in five seconds
@@pesticideistheonlyoption4304 yeah at my school they'd expect you to leave lunch, which is already fairly short (35 mins) when you are queuing, especially chip day, and break (15 mins) 5 mins early so you weren't late for your lesson. Break was annoying because sometimes you could be let out late by the teacher so you'd only have 5 mins. It was even worse when your break was after the lesson and you were going back to a different lesson, rather than the break being in the middle of the lesson, because if it was in the middle of the lesson then the teacher would often allow us to get back into class a few minutes late to make up for us having to stay behind. My school also had a 1 way system so it could take even longer to get to class.
Lisa Henry yeah that’s what happened at mine. The one way system was just annoying and instead of “saving time” it just made you slower
We had a 45min lunch, queue's could get up to 30mins long. Then the corridors are small so theres 'traffic'. Then you get asked by the one teacher that lets us out late every day, 'why are you late'. Like whaaa, they end up segragating lunch time so only certain years could eat at certain times. But then you just jump the queue
@@lisahenry20 ours got a one way system, tweaked it, removed it, then brought it back. Like whaat.
My god, i remember in high school i asked my teacher if i can go to the toilet and i got detention
Heres how it went
Me: sir can i go toilet
Sir: its may
Me: its January, whats the months got to do with it?
It took me a while to understand that 😂
Lesson learnt. Don't be a smart ass. 😂
Can someone tell me why I actually leaned in closer to my laptop when he said to come closer.
I live in the UK and basically this is my timetable: lesson, lesson, break, lesson, lunch, lesson, end and you can only go to the toilet when there's not a lesson going on and the toilets are disgusting so I learnt not to go to the toilet for 6 hours
Mine is lesson lesson lesson lesson break lesson lesson lunch lesson lesson, my lessons are 40-45 mins long
A Floating Pineapple mine is lesson lesson break lesson lesson lunch lesson lesson end. classes are like 50 mins long
Lesson, lesson, lesson, break, lesson, lesson, lesson, lesson, lunch, lesson, lesson, lesson, end.
You only went to school for 6 hours? I started at 8:30 and finished at 4:30 D:
Mine was lesson lesson lesson, 15 min break, lesson lesson, 1 hour lunch, lesson lesson lesson. So yeah you have to ask to go for a wee and are punished if you're gone too long or go too often 😂😂
why is no one talking about evan pronouncing his surname two different ways within the first 5 seconds?
Jack what the shit how are you the third heccing comment. What a coincidence
I was literally looking for this comment like what how do you actually pronounce his surname???? Does he even know????
Ugh! I know Evan talked about this before in a video, but I can’t seem to find it! I think it’s, like, there’s the proper way to do it & the more Americanized way, and so he kinda switches between the two.
lol i was wondering abt that how do you pronounce his last name i can’t figure it out
he just does that :(
Also about going to the bathroom in sweden: I feel like they've understood the part that there are several reasons you might have to go to the bathroom and we deserve to do so without being questioned. Also just generally you're TECHNICALLY free to do whatever as long as you're not bothering your classmates. Yes, they'll nag you and so on, but they still will prefer that you leave the classroom and stretch your legs instead of being distracting in class. Kind of like "you're free to ruin your own future, but don't ruin everyone else's."
The lighting feels more...living room comfortable to me, instead of harsh filming performance type lighting, and I like the comfy version very much!
1:41 your ‘wot’ is perfect. GIVE THIS MAN CITIZENSHIP
"scuse u, wot" evan you're starting to get a british accent... heheheheh

Picky Brit here. First, there is no such thing as a British accent. Second Britain is written with a capital B.
U dizzy m8? Wot? Ur mum
My science teacher once told a student that she couldn't go to the toilet unless she was having her period.. Thus making her have to basically declare to the class if she was on her period, based on whether she sat down or not. She did in fact go to the toilet, and looked very embarrassed.

bathroom?
At my school most teachers didn’t let you go to the toilet and hall passes didn’t exist, you NEVER just left the room randomly. You had to either get lucky with a nice teacher who let you go when you asked, or you held it until the 5 minute break in between lessons. There were a couple of awkward times over the years where people would have to make a huge fuss shouting in front of 30 people that they were going to wet themselves and making a scene before they were allowed to go, and even then they were given strictly 2 minutes with no phones allowed.
you have 3 minutes between lessons.. we don't have a break between lessons we just gotta kinda sprint across school and hope a teacher doesn't complain we took to long, as they sit happily in one classroom all day
The toilets were so bad at school that I'd only go if I really had to
there were toilets that were hardly ever used and I would walk there to go every time. i showed like three people of their existence
Can relate
there was like one specific toilet that was bearable so i'd use that one as much as possible but sometimes it was really far away and i'd get in trouble for being gone too long lmao
ugh they took the door off the toilets (door-not stalls) in one of the buildings and it was so awkward whenever you accidentally made eye contact with someone inside
We had one set of toilets that were accessible to all the girls - that is, about ten stalls for about 600 girls. If you were really lucky, you'd get a locking door, loo roll, soap AND paper towels but most days we kept the doors closed with our bags, had our own tissues and air dried our hands. I've never forgotten the total lack of pupil care at my school. Thankfully the Head Dragon has retired and the school has progressed with the times, but the 1980s and 90s were dark ages...
Funny story:
I was in year 1 or something. This girl asked to go pee. My teacher said no. She peed on the chair.
Hey Samara that happened to me except it was in year 10 and the teacher refused even when she said she thought she was on her period so she wet herself and ran out of the room crying and pissing,, not good Mr Flanagan I hate you forever
Happened to a girl in my school I felt so bad for her, watching her run out of the class she was so upset & embarrassed.
I remember when I was in year 1 and 2, I had bladder issues and physically couldn't hold it al day. Teachers never let me go to the toilet so one day I just stood up and pissed all over the carpet like a dog. Another girl also wasnt aloud to go so she stood in the corner and pooed. School was a wild time
when i was in year 4 i had my hand up for about 20 minutes really needing to go to the toilet and then did wet myself (because i was 9 and couldn’t hold in a pee for the whole freaking hour) also the toilets were literally at the back of the classroom but we weren’t allowed to go without asking. i then told the LOVELY teaching assistant and she was going to take me to the office to get me a change of clothes but my teacher tried to not let me go without announcing to the whole class what had happened so i cried
@@cicelyamelia that's genuinely traumatic 😔
Thank you for your videos! They make my every Thursday and Sunday (also every day when I'm watching your older videos) so my brighter. I want you to know how much you influence some lives. Thanks to you I started learning German and meditated (and learned some much more about the UK and USA, greetings from Poland) and it really increased how I feel every day (especially in lockdown). I really really appreciate what you're doing ;) (also the lighting is amazing, matching orange with blue was a good idea)
i recently rediscovered your channel (love love loved it in middle school and for some reason youtube stopped showing me your videos and started show them to me again a couple weeks ago) and it brings so much joy to my day i love your content
Aww welcome back :) I’ve been making videos for ages!
It’s funny bc as an American we were so drilled that we are the freest country and we can do anything but when you look at it we aren’t even ranked in the top 10 for personal freedoms around the world 😬
I told this to an American before and they said that communists had made the rankings that’s why the USA isn’t at the top of the list for anything. At that moment I lost all faith in America

my French teacher from a few years ago used to have a calendar and when someone would ask to go to the toilet she would let them go but write their name on the day in the calendar and if u asked again the following lesson she would be like nahhh u urinated last week stop interrupting my lesson and avoiding French. this is in England (Liverpool specifically) but the teacher was northern Irish if that changes anything. I didn't like her hahah.
my primary school maths teacher used to do that too... extremely weird now that i think about it
My science teacher used to do that but you were only allowed to go twice a year.
the "breakfast- meat, lunch- meat" song omg and the "ya mum" was so funny- loving these new community driven videos!
i’ve been loving your videos recently! i pretty much watch all your videos anyway but i especially enjoy this style :)
Loving the video, here's just a few thoughts:
1. In the UK, saying 'Bless You' is a throwback to the bubonic plague (Black Death), as sneezing was one of the symptoms and someone saying 'Bless You' was their way of asking God to grant you his grace and to help you get better. I'm not saying that nowadays people think you have the plague when you sneeze and they say 'Bless You' (although where I live we also say 'Gesundheit' if someone sneezes), we are just being polite...but I think deep down we Brits are still hedging our bets!
2. I live in the North of England, and I had a complete culture shock when I went on public transport in London for the first time. Up here, we often chat at bus stops and train platforms with our fellow passengers. They are often complete strangers but we still talk to each other, and we always thank the bus drivers and train conductors when we leave the bus/train. I thanked the bus driver down in London as I got off, and the poor man looked at me like I'd grown a second head!
3. In my secondary school (I think that would be high school to you?) we were not allowed to go to the toilet during classes UNLESS you had a medical reason to need the toilet regularly. I sadly did, so I had a little yellow medical card issued which embarrassingly had my reason printed on it which I had to hand to the teacher to get out of the classroom. Then I had to go and ask for the key to the toilets, which were locked after break-time and lunch, for which again I had to present my yellow card of shame to the Caretakers to get the key.
Skyla123 Thanking the bus driver happens in London. Usually it’s only worth doing if you’re exiting the door by the driver or in a relatively empty bus otherwise there’s a dozen people coming on the bus and you’re exiting the bus by the middle door where your polite ‘thank you’ would just get lost in the ether. But thanking the driver is by no means unusual in London.
@@emmaburns7566 normally i barely hear people say thank you
yeah in Wales it's considered rude not to say thank you to the bus driver. I've started doing it in Germany. Only smiles so far ;)
Where in the UK are you from? I'm pretty sure "Gesundheit" is German, but I'm not sure
@@bakes887 Gesundheit is German and literally means 'health'
Also, check out the poem “Flag” by John Agard: “What’s that fluttering in the breeze? It’s just a piece of cloth, that brings a nation to its knees”.
I've had to read that poem way too many times ahahhaa
I feel like I probably read that poem in english lit in high school - honestly have no clue.
Omg I’m getting flashbacks to GCSE English...
This is honestly my favourite one of your videos! This is so funny and you are only going better and growing the more you post and make your videos, practice your editing, and all the other wonderful skills you are learning which will only improve your videos EVEN MORE! Also, yes your lighting was very subtle but well noticed, very nice! You are doing great Evan!!!! Thank you for being my source of delightful entertainment whilst I procrastinate my dissertation and final year essays
Evan, there are a lot of insights and "ahh, that makes sense" moments reading
"Worth dying for: the power and politics of flags" from Tim Marshall.
You guys have a whole chapter just for America.
i love how literally all of the comments he replied to were ones i’d seen and liked
I try to start with all the top rated comments so it continues the conversation! :)
@@evan Good idea
@@evan gang lad, come up manchester way, you will see the real uk
In school teachers would always say ‘no’ straight up or say that we should’ve gone during our break or lunch. However I used to say I just started my menstrual cycle and was always allowed to go since they found it so awkward loool
Here we (teachers) just say okat and allow them to go (as long as there aren't too many already out).
I tell my students that the reason they are asking is just to make sure I know where they are
my friend once told the teacher that (she acc had started her period) and he was just like no, wait till in end of the lesson like ????
At my school that doesn’t work with any female teacher and some of the male teachers are catching on to it
Periods can be a superpower sometimes
I love that a lot of these videos is you talking and making jokes to yourself. Makes me smile.
also Sheetz is better than Wawa FIGHT ME
UK teacher here. I've worked in several schools where we're told not to let kids go to the toilet because "They should only go during breaks". Sometimes the lessons are 100 minutes. I always let them go anyway.
"You should have gone at break/lunchtime" was the common response. I bleed through a skirt once cause one teacher wouldn't let me go... So that was fun. Catholic school man. Oh yeah there is a whole part of the house for removing shoes! xx
Ooh that's rough! In Australia we were allowed to go to the bathroom during class (we had to ask, but we didn't need a hall pass like in the US), which is really lucky for me since (TMI warning) my very first period started during a class, and I didn't know what was happening but I asked to go to the loo and I was able to fix the situation before I bled through my clothes 😅
I was made to do a class presentation while my flow was HEAVY (turns out I had an actual medical issue going on) and I could feel it leaking out of my pad. I asked to go to the toilet before I did the presentation and my teacher said no because lunch was in 20 minutes. By the time lunch had come I was actively leaking and I ended up crying in the toilets for 20 minutes before calling my mom to come and pick me up because I was such a mess.
oh, ive walked out of the lesson or look at the teacher with pleading eyes.
My teachers always tried saying no but i told them if I didn’t go id leak on their chairs and theyd have to clean it up because i wouldnt, then theyd let me 😂
I'm Welsh and we really like our flag because it has a dragon on it
HaZaaR_ damn now I'm jealous
Fellow Welshie, can confirm.
I like your flag too. That's why I have a tote bag with it on that I bought on holiday last year! (I'm also a quarter Welsh - but only been to Wales twice lol)
i like it but drawing it for the eisteddfod suckss
Northern Ireland also really love their flags ... but god forbid you display the wrong one 😂
Love the new lighting! Really gives that spotlight feel
Setup looks great! Love the vibe, the colors are gorgeous. also I wish I could comment with a tiny snapshot of my brother who just watched with me as you explained wawa and hoagies. He yelled in my ear right afterwards and said, “okAY, HOAGIE-WAWA” and I just
me miss i need toilet
her you just had break
me i didn't need it 40 minutes ago
Tammy Babes still can’t go
Her: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 well then you can wait
The worst part of this is when it's for your period. Like sorry. I can't control that I'm fucking bleeding
"Germans make up words for everything" I mean yeah, and that's cool and all, but we literally have a word for tricking somebody into watching the music video of Rick Astleys iconic song never gonna give you up
Meehhhhhh, that's more 4Chanian than actual English 😃
oh yeah! I loved this Tom Scott video on the creation of that word: ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html
@@PixelatedH2O yeah that's the point it's an English word, I'm not american but that's unimportant when talking about a word in english
Evan Edinger how did I actually fall for that 🤦🏻♀️
Brenna same lmao
@ 13:55 it’s an Aussie hot 37c today. Bloody cooking outside. And here I am sipping a hot cuppa tea. 🤪
I'm really enjoying seeing your content twice as often lately!

We've done it lads. He's finally brittish.
Looking for this comment 😂
Usually the uk toilets are so grim you don’t want to be in there especially due to the locks not working. Also NEVER EVER EVER EVER DO YOU GO FOR A NO.2 AT SCHOOL.... EVER
Yeah I had to once and I’ve never been the same since...
Our school toilets r decent ngl
I used to not drink enough so I didn't need to go til I got home cuz the toilets were that gross
Emily Ruxton lucky. Ours are really mank and pretty much all the cubicles have broken locks which the school just refuses to fix
Unless its unavoidable, but those are dark days
I noticed how the quality and lighting is so good in this video as soon as I clicked on it. I do photography so I know a bit about lighting, so maybe its just me, but I think its great.
Hey Evan, my Name is Caden and I come from Wales. I have 3 heart conditions and have a few other complications (leaky heart valve etc). I just wanted to say thank you because UA-cam has always been an escape from me since I can’t do normal things like play sports. Thanks 🙏
🙏🙏🙏
When Evan mentions the scooter with a belt all I can imagine is some kid duck taped to scooter whilst scootering around decathlon.😂
Where are you from and is Decathlon culture a thing there as well lol. It is the go to place if you want middle to low quality (aka cheap) equipment for any sport in Turkey.
Toilets: No locks, sometimes no doors. No soap or handles on the taps. The cleanest toilets become staff only lmao
If I hadn't already been subscribed, after that Estonia pun? I definitely would clicked! 🤣

Dropping some science in here: hot tea does cool you down eventually - it makes you warmer which causes your blood vessels to dilate and appear closer to the surface of the skin allowing more heat to escape and bringing the blood closer to cooler air outside the body 😁
Your comment helped me win an argument with my sister bless you 😁 x
It also makes you sweat more, which, if the sweat is able to evaporate, cools you down as well.
@@laurahanson1506 Haha glad to be of help even when I don't realise it 😂
Its the same reason why theres such a huge hot soup culture in SE Asia esecially in hot humid climate. It also helpes you with mineral(salt) balance.
They actually tested this theory in "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor" and it turned out to be false information. Drinking something hot in summer doesn't cool you down. At least that's what they said. 🤷♀️
Sort of going off of the bread thing, it made me remember about how different yogurt is in Europe. I'm from the U.S., but my mom is Czech, so every once in a while we travel over to Europe for a month or two. Usually we go and buy our own groceries and cook our own food (saving that cash), and our groceries usually include yogurt. Basically, when I get back to the U.S. yogurt is SO SWEET. I assume its because of how it's made in the U.S., and it really puts me off of yogurt for a solid month until I re-acclimate to my american ways.
I noticed the new lighting when the video started!! I like it, ur looking good man
The lighting is fabulous Evan
Evans hair is so shiny and healthy and I just cannot understand how. I’ve bleached my full head twice and it’s as dry and dead as the leaves in autumn
I think he’s done something with the lighting and colour gradient. It looks very colourful today
Well you hair could be thinner or more dry. The more oil in your hair, the more it is protected from damage. And he may be doing some sort of hair care. Idk.
It probably helps it looks like it's his natural hair colour, so no bleaching was involved.
The worst is when it's that time of the month but you have a male teacher😬
(I'm referring to when you realise you started your period at school rather than at home and usually I'm too awkward to say anything if it does happen)
Walk out! I highly recommend it, the outrage is laughable and u can say u r a proper feminist
Yeah, that was basically the only excuse you could use that they would allow you to leave the classroom for. Otherwise you could only go during breaks.
Whip out a pad, u will terrify them so they will let u x
I found female teachers had zero sympathy whereas (if you stared at them long enough) male teachers would just assume a girl must be on her period every single time she asked to go to the loo and so let them go.
I remember a guy asked a male teacher to go to the bathroom and got told no. I asked like five minutes later and was allowed. Was very funny
I'm loving the content and u are honestly hilarious. I'm also loving the t-shirt
Before you even said it I noticed how gorgeous the lighting is in this one 😍 Also surprised you weren't cancelled in Estonia at the end there
Never been to Panera but every time I hear the name, I think of a guy I met on a bus in San Francisco who told me all about it. That passion is so raw and real.
it's GOOD
From my experience: going to the bathroom in lesson technically isnt allowed, but some teachers let you.
Most use the "you should have gone at break" excuse or "wait until lunch" or "class time is for learning. You can wait"
Theyre not supposed to, but some let you go, but only 1 person at a time.
No hall pass but sometimes you are timed so that you dont take too long wandering.
If people have a medical issue with their bladder they are given a red card that they need to show the teacher to be let out.
As for periods, if you have the guts to tell a teacher that then they might be more lenient with letting you go
Love the new lighting! Easier for my eyes to focus on while I am all comfy in my pyjamas and not wearing glasses :) Also makes the background colours feel more muted by comparison, but in a good, less-busy way.
I laughed so much watching this, one of your funniest videos I think. 😀
I remember that they made a really big thing about the flag when I was still in Boy Scouts and there was this whole process of how to fold the flag properly to give it the “respect it deserved(????)” but also how to “retire” the flag by burning it if it got too weathered and that only a trained scout, a police officer/fireman, or military officer could “retire” flags and just now when I think about it, I realize how cultish that was.

I honestly look up to Evan so much in the sense of content creating. I feel like he is one of few youtubers I watch that have a very good connection with his audience, and these weekly community videos have only made me feel that more.
