One of the more annoying parts of working hard at school is having to deal with people who don't take it seriously and just try to skate through without learning anything. The world has a lot of entitled morons that seem resistant to caring about the people around them. The fact that this person doesn't do their homework and just expects notes is frustrating enough. Maybe it's for the best that they probably won't end up as someone's doctor...

School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.
This guy just wanted to help out some "family friends" who very well might've been gangsters. He ended up volunteering his services for taking one of the guy's daughters along to a frat party. The complication in that plan was that she was notorious for being "boy crazy" and he didn't end up keeping a close eye on her. Fortunately, his moment of panic when his life likely flashed before his eyes, gave way to a simple joke. Phew.
College can have weird and rigid rules, but sometimes there are ways to fight back within the confines of the system, like this guy who complied with his school's unfair printing fee by using every printer at once. In this case, a class wouldn't let him get out of the final for being sick, so he decided to play it up.
With all the stuff we've heard of and experienced with helicopter parents in the last few decades, it's refreshing to see someone actually stand up to their mom who's trying to control their social life while not under their roof. Hell, dude, it's college. You don't want to experience college life while your mom watches.
The following collection of tweets are all kinds of relatable for anyone who has ever muddled through the often disorienting, exhausting, and generally ridiculous college years. This just further deepened my sweet relief that I'm done with school. What a rollercoaster that whole college thing was.
The lesson was supposed to be "things aren't always as they seem" but based on the results, it seems like this class might be a waste of time. We've had "mindblowing" ideas like this in the past, but almost no one does them, because if they don't go perfectly, as this professor demonstrates, it becomes very awkward.
It's known that everything about college is way too expensive, but charging a fee for a service that no one will fully use is pretty much stealing. It's like if a company offered coupons for free kicks in the crotch. Who's gonna redeem all of them? Anyway this guy decided he wouldn't make the college waste his money, so he wasted it in a way that he at least had control over. People often come up with solutions to problems foisted on them by large institutions, like this guy who was told he had to work on vacation.
Nothing gets the blood boiling hotter than seeing some rich kid get a better opportunity with the help of daddy's money. Here are some of the more entitled and out-of-touch applications people have reviewed. Luckily, most of these spoiled kids didn't get in. For more stories of rich kid syndrome, check this out.
All I'm saying is if this kid took that silly little lie that far, how do we know what's being put out right now as a story grounded in truth, isn't just another work of fiction? That being said, the creativity is still on point, and to imagine such a scenario actually happening, is WILD.
Academia sometimes draws absolutely ridiculous people. That being said, you have NO IDEA just how crazy that professor's life could be outside the classroom. They seem a little haggard or distant on a particular day? Hopefully it's not like the one dude we read about in this list, who had his family being held hostage. Want a bit of a lighter read? Check out some of the most ridiculous questions students have asked their teachers over here.

The sweet golden sound of awkward silence after this man's inspired speech, is a thing of BEAUTY. As is his bold courage in the face of an indifferent class just trying to suffer though another test. You might've failed in the eyes of the world, but we will proudly support your effort back here, man.
