Square dancing. I didn't like having to do that. It didn't help that there were times when I was paired with girls who were like "Oh my god!" when I had little-to-no interest in them like that.

Cross-country, which we seemingly did whenever the teacher felt like taking a lesson off. Running two miles along a muddy track and two miles back, usually in the rain, with no warmup time was unpleasant, to say the least.

Well I hated PE so … all of them? To be more specific, any game that involved a ball coming at me, like volleyball or dodge ball. I suffered a stroke as a newborn, leaving me with no peripheral vision in my left eye and practically zero depth perception. So yeah, those sucked. I’ll also mention the three-week swimming unit in junior high. The pool was in the senior high building next door, meaning we had to run over there with all our stuff, have class, then quickly dry off, get dressed, and run back to the other building for our next class. Teachers were understanding if we were a few minutes late but still, those three weeks were hell. Now when the girls’ class joined us in ninth grade? THAT was fun! (I trust I don’t have to explain why.)

Giant laps, run across the whole gym including up the stairs and the stands. And if someone wasn't paying attention or speaking up the whole class had to do another one.

Either volleyball or running on the track, especially when it was hot as Hell itself. There were a few times I got heat exhaustion from that.

But between a pile of the kids belonging to churches that don't allow dancing,and a bunch that didn't faking notes from their parents saying they did,there was 5 kids left out of 30. Besides that PE wasn't bad. Lots of time we played football or kickball. Then PE in jr high was basketball,volleyball and bad mitton.

Usually along the water heading out of town.

I generally didn't mind the running, and after finishing school took to running the same track in my free time. The bait-and-switch was the real ball-ache, though – expecting to have football (soccer), rugby, or hockey and being told we're doing cross-country was never appreciated. The first time I watched Band of Brothers I really empathised with Easy Company being ordered to run Currahee at a moment's notice.

The times we had to do anything involving paperwork because it basically just made for a second health class.

All it did was damage my knee enough it gave out on me not long after I turned 18. I can barely outrun a sloth now.

Did Basketball,Cross Country and Track 9th thru 12th grade. Cross Country was a I need something to stay in shape cause I eat too much and I got long legs lets try this. And I found it relaxing. Even now at least a few evening a week I go out walk 2 to 4 miles while listening to music or a podcast.

There were a few times I subbed for PE and the school had a projector, PS2, and copies of some DDR games. That was a fun thing to put on lol.

We had to line dance for the first few weeks every year in middle school. I honestly think this was just to waste time until our uniforms came in instead of having them ordered ahead of time.
We also had team sports every Friday. Some of them were fun. But then you'd get something stupid like "Sitdown Volleyball" which was very difficult to take seriously.
