'My paper isn't long enough? K': College student gets back at rude professor by writing extra long paper and getting it published

'My paper isn't long enough? K': College student gets back at rude professor by writing extra long paper and getting it published

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977 , a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair si…

'My husband hadn't checked in at all': Husband goes to college reunion, his phone dies during a family emergency, wife loses it

The selfie from the husband's friend was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/PrettyHateMachinexxx , the mother of a one-year-old who stayed home one weekend while her husband was in another state partying with his college friends. Granted, this was planned months in advance, and her frustration was not a result of her husband's choice to attend his college reunion. No, her frustration instead began after he neglecte…

We've all had that dream where we're wandering around school, trying to find a classroom . In the dream, maybe you're in your old middle school or your college campus , carrying your backpack. As you wander the halls, they all look the same and they stretch for miles. Maybe you enter a room, but it's not the right one! In this nightmare scenario, you're late for a test and cannot possibly find it. Then, you wake up in a cold sweat, thankful to know it's just a dream. Well, not this person! I gu…

'We're not bringing our butler on vacation': 25 Entitled and snobby people who think the world revolves around them

Entitled people just live in their own world. If you have enough money, you can live life exactly as you wish, from the moment you wake up in the morning to the minute you go to bed each night. Many wealthy people become sheltered from the realities of everyday life. After all, while it's convenient for them to have an entire team of people at your beck and call, like personal assistants, nannies, chefs, or chauffeurs, the rest of us trying our best to get by without the extra help.

‘I Won’t Sign Your Weird Contract’ : College Student Dodges Unfair Grading via Malicious Compliance, Professor Left Speechless When She Can’t Fail Her

‘I Won’t Sign Your Weird Contract’ : College Student Dodges Unfair Grading via Malicious Compliance, Professor Left Speechless When She Can’t Fail Her

Study guides are basically the hail mary of every student, but there are professors who don't believe in this practicality — because they would rather encourage their students to read the entire material, adding to the sublime mountain of headache they already have. In my opinion, any professor who does this is simply lazy. Why don't the students just buy the books and not pay for classes? It would certainly be much cheaper. Thanks for adding to the small fortune I owe to the banks called stude…

'Why does it make a difference?': Introvert's BF didn't invite him on trip to see college friends

'He had no intention of going': Introvert is hurt that his BF didn't invite him on trip, BF says it 'doesn't make sense'

Although this couple has been together for a while, they seem to have some communication issues that need addressing. In a post to r/amiwrong, a guy going by the name u/blunderous wrote to get some opinions on the relationship blunder he's currently going through.

'She refused to pay, and stopped answering my calls': Web designer creates website, pivots to malicious compliance after entitled owner won't pay the bill

This website designer took malicious compliance to a new level with this stunt. There's often a lack of appreciation for the arts, whether you're a painter, dancer, writer, or filmmaker. Even for this person, a web designer who created an entire website for a client, the task went unappreciated. As u/shady_emoji shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, they were a college student trying to make a few extra dollars when they accepted a gig designing a website . This client wanted her website to show off…

'I have proof that the money was mine': Great-aunt wills money to fund family's education, family spends the money on a wedding instead

I don't blame this woman for airing out her family's business after what they did with her education funds. For most people, family comes before all else. You want your loved ones to be happy and thrive, and have all the tools they need to succeed in the world. It seems like this woman's great-aunt really wanted that for her own family. She specifically set aside money for the women in her family to get an education. The OP, u/Accomplished_Bar5656, writes that her aunt helped numerous members o…

'I was excited for the challenge': Professor receives schedule change, but two coworkers claim the professor 'shouldn't be teaching...those classes'

Who knew college professors could be so petty? One professor ended up in a malicious compliance situation after their coworkers tattled on them! Every professor has a different style of teaching. Some have been around for decades, and teach the same lesson plan every semester without fail. Others are newer to the job, and with many years of teaching ahead of them. At this college, in a story told by r/HeWhoMustNotBeNamed, a tenured teacher and a new teacher teamed up to blast the OP. It seems q…

'I obviously submitted subpar work': College student proves professor wrong by following their own grading policy

Grading policies are meant to be followed; after all, that's all this student was doing! This college student had been performing well on all the previous assignments for a project and knew that the lowest grade would be dropped as that was what was written explicitly in the syllabus. Because of other upcoming finals, he had to make a tough decision and submit a subpar assignment (by subpar, we mean literally just the title page and a brief summary of the project) in order to prioritize the mor…
