Faked proof that I had a flat tire so that the lazy people in my group project would have to do the presentation themselves therefore likely will fail

'I got stuck with possibly the worst 3 people to be in a [group] project': One student's tire-less pursuit of petty revenge

No one likes group projects, especially not the person pulling the weight of the entire presentation . One unfortunate Redditor, u/grapeicecreamfloat, got stuck in that situation, but luckily they were able to enact some satisfying petty revenge! As they shared to r/pettyrevenge, this student got stuck with slackers in a project that was a big percentage of the overall grade. The OP ended up doing so much of the work, and the professor wouldn't help the OP improve the group's dynamic, saying th…

AITA For pulling my brother aside and giving him a reality check that he needs to get over high school or else he will end up alone?

'I... told him that he needs to get over high school': Smug dude stuck on high school stereotypes gets rude awakening from sibling

For some people, high school never ends. That's definitely the case with Geoffrey, whose sibling is concerned about the way he's been treating everybody around him . As the u/aitaGeoffreyEmma wrote to the r/AmItheA****** subreddit, their brother didn't have a great experience in high school. Even a decade later, he's still making fun of people's appearances and projecting where he thinks they'll be in their career. It sounds toxic and unbearably cringy to witness ! This concerned sibling ended…

The principal of the school asked everyone to be 30 min early for the exam. 30 or so hours of overtime were paid, and she had to monitor students herself.

'Most of us simply ignored her...But a dozen of us decided to comply': Principal ignores teacher's schedule, ruins her own Friday

School testing is an important part of a student's year, and these tests have to be administered with exact time measurements. This teacher shared their experience with this on r/MaliciousCompliance – they got to talk to their boss in a way that most people only dream of! As u/Djorgal shared, they work part time as a math teacher in France. Since they only work part-time, they kept telling their principal that they wouldn't be able to cover the entirety of the student's upcoming tests. With the…

What's a rule that was implemented somewhere, that massively backfired?

'They removed the trash cans... The amount of litter skyrocketed overnight': 30+ Real-world examples of new rules that backfired hard

'What's a rule that was implemented somewhere, that massively backfired?' The question was posed to the r/AskReddit community, and they really delivered with some outrageous tales ! Whether at the workplace or at school, when new bosses come in and make changes, they often don't know what they're doing. You have to be super careful not to accidentally incentivize your workers to get into bad habits. As for students, they're even more crafty, like one kid who avoided an iPod /MP3 player ban by b…

Want to put my kid in detention for farting. You can pay for the cost of getting him home

Terrible Teacher Gives Gaseous Teen Detention, Mother Goes to Principal and Makes Her Pay, Literally

Sometimes people need a little bit of monetary consequence to let them know that their actions have been bad; it's the only stimulus that a lot of entitled, narcissistic, or power-tripping people will respond to. And, while I can't agree with the notion that a teacher should normally have to pay for punishing their student's poor behavior, in this instance, it's clear that this teacher was just abusing their power and really mistreating and harassing this poor student. It's incredibly dishearte…

TIFU by holding a grudge for 29 years against a kid at school who called me "Carrot Boy"

'Carrot Boy' returns to his high school reunion and has a cringey carrot meltdown, fulfills his own prophecy

Well, if he wasn't going to be remembered as Carrot Boy before, he certainly is now; there's no walking it back from this one, folks. As commenters have suggested, if he had merely approached the conversation as if it was an old inside joke rather than something that he was harboring deep resentment over, he could have won his old classmates over and finally been rid of his demons in one swift stroke. Instead, the monkey's paw has curled—and the prophecy comes to pass. He is now, and forever wi…
