ridiculous

Doing a group project and presentation is hard enough, but having to prove that each person did a totally equal amount of work during the presentation? These guys figured out a stupidly genius way to handle it. Reminds us of this lazy genius approach to a school project. As annoying as this teacher's rule was, many teachers manage to say much more wild junk.

Sometimes people think it's the students that ae the most challenging part of a teacher's job. That's only true most of the time. It can actually be the parents trying to interfere too much with their kid's education. Sometimes a teacher can just look at a finished project and go, "looks like dad did a great job." Sometimes it goes the other way. Sometimes teachers have no faith in students but they succeed anyway, like this student who won an art contest to spite their rude teacher.

Sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction. This AskReddit thread pays homage to the absolute wildest excuses that ever came across teachers' desks from students. If anything it's threads like this that can once again awaken us to the reality that we never really know what's boiling underneath the surface of someone's otherwise, seemingly pleasant life. Whole lot of crazy stuff going on in this world. 

Talk about some pathological lying. This Karen sounds like just a bit of a nightmare to end up working with. And after she gets herself fired from her old job she has the audacity to list her old employer (that she screwed over) as a reference? Someone's got to give Karen the reality check moment that not showing up to work has consequences, and her ridiculous storytelling is completely transparent. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about how a bridezilla Karen ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Someone on AskReddit asked for teachers to share the worst examples of "my child can do no wrong" that they've encountered in the classroom. The entitlement flowing through these parents is obnoxiously strong. These teachers must've had a truly saint-like level of patience to deal with these kinds of parents. 

Man, what compels a person to go through all the trouble to win a dang auction and then refuse to pay up? Just not cool, man. Well, this auction winner ended up learning their lesson the hard way. Well played on the part of the person who went ahead and won all those other auctions. A nice mix of petty and pro revenge if we do say so ourselves!

Revenge is most certainly sweet, and best served by FERPA. Karen and Karen Jr. thought that they were so sly. The mother and daughter team had worked out a system where Karen (the teacher) would pull the necessary strings to get Karen Jr. (her daughter) all the accommodations one could need to ace a test without any effort at all. Of course, cheaters never win, and someone always finds out in the end. The Karens ultimately had to pay the price for all their BS. 

We love nothing more than a good old fashioned language translation fail. Languages can be wildly confusing, and sometimes that goes on to inspire absolutely hilarious misunderstandings between people that would otherwise be getting along just fine. In this case though, we learn that this particular misunderstanding was the straw that broke the camel's back, and apparently this guy was a dang "side guy." 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most impressively dumb things people did that inspired them to question their own intelligence. Sometimes you lead a life where you worked 10 years in a kitchen, and still end up trying to microwave a saucepan. Or maybe you find yourself mindlessly blaring your car horn at the guy who you already knew was deaf, but somehow forgot because your brain decided to take a catnap. We've all been there caught up in the middle of an impressively mindless moment, at some point in our lives. 

They thought they'd just pop on in and go about stealing some poetry. They must be especially challenged when it comes to writing poetry if this is how they thought they'd be able to get it done. 

Whether they were trying to keep the classroom bearable through being hilariously unpredictable, or just plain weird, you've gotta give it to them. They definitely tried...in some capacity. 

Now that's a beautifully executed pro revenge. The guy managed to bring on his roommate's downfall, without the roommate even having any idea about how that happened in the first place.

You can't sit down and make everyone spell the way you'd like them to, so you're just kind of left with seeing the mistakes where they arise and laughing about them when you can. Who knows what the cause is for all of these spelling fails. It could be public schools, sheer ignorance, aggressive autocorrect or a combination of all three.
