What was your weirdest locker room experience?

Not locker room per se but wrestling related (nobody is going to believe this but it’s true) short version is

We finally win our little league championship with a last match pin (newer young wrestling team, only in existence for 4 years). We decide to try to do a friendly prank on our coach by having someone hiding on the low roof leaving the locker room with a cooler full of ice water (like you would douse a coach in football). Coach gets wise to it and runs around the other exit. Cooler is passed down and most of team is running around “quad area” chasing coach trying to get him wet with the the water cooler. Last maybe 3 minutes and coach seems visibility agitated, and is very seriously trying to dodge us getting him wet, by the end of that time and things start looking/getting weird. He runs off campus and a smaller number of us give chase. He’s seen seriously running away, scaling fences. My friends older brother rolls up in a car and tells me and two other friends to hop in so we grab the cooler to give chase. We find him down the street a few blocks walking quickly with a Broken bottle in his hand pacing heavily the opposite direction. Coach notices the four of us in the car and yells “if anyone gets out of that car I’m crackin skulls!”. He continues “just try it Bobby (fake name of my friend who was an OG on the wrestling team and a definite jokester, has a love hate relationship with coach), I’ve been dying to get a piece of you!”. We drive off, my friends older brother laughing his ass off and us laughing nervously in total disbelief

He was an ex marine and an eccentric guy (ex marine rumored to have seen some action in the Panama conflict) his time was pre 9/11. Our hypothesis is he must have had some form of ptsd and kinda snapped when we jokingly tried to ambush him and pursue him.

We still tell that story amongst ourselves and it’s definitely one of the weirdest but most hilarious ones (in retrospect) becuase it was so bizarre and wildly inappropriate (the three of us in the car were 17 at the time, along with his older bro who was in his early 30s at the time).

Like I said , nobody is gonna believe this one but it’s 100% true, hope my story painted a coherent picture
