education

Honestly, these students got off lightly. Things could've ended up much, much worse than they did for them. This definitely isn't the first time that we've come across a revenge that took place within the realm of education. There's just something about people not wanting to do their tests/essays/etc that results in acts of truly glorious revenge. 

Unfortunately, a fair number of us have encountered a rather nasty teacher while muddling through the education system at one point or another. Some teachers are certainly worse than others. It's like some of them will have some strange vendetta against you from the moment you walked in, for some unfathomable reason. Well, the teacher in this scenario sounds like she was way outside the line. Fortunately, the student's mom was ready to unleash a righteous revenge. 

There's something innately satisfying about seeing some pure ignorance come face to face with its rightful comeuppance. In this case, we have a dude get nothing short of a proper schooling on just how car safety and physics works. Suffice to say, it's immensely satisfying.

Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before.

Schools and their armies of teachers can end up getting pretty carried away when it comes to the kinds of ridiculous rules that they enforce. Maybe you were one of those unfortunate students who ended up being punished for breaking a "rule" that you honestly couldn't believe existed in the first place. 

The world's just never going to run out of terribly entitled, delusional, and downright cheap individuals that insist on wasting the time of sellers just trying to have a rational negotiation. It sounds like this choosing beggar wanted 22 homework assignments done, but without having to worry about paying for all that hard work. Yeah, good luck. For another ridiculous choosy beggar scenario check out this dude who complained about a $1 taco, and proceeded to get set straight by the owner. 

Man oh man, let a story like this serve as a cautionary tale to anyone out there that's naively, proactively underestimating the importance of making sure that their backup files are in check. Fortunately, this student was able to eventually get the work that they needed to get done, done, and look back on their blunder with humor. For some more gold from the tech support world, check out this story about a customer who didn't trust a tech support employee's advice, and lived to regret it weeks later. 

School can get to be a very boring obligation, and it's only a matter of time before mischievous students end up stirring up some trouble to keep themselves entertained. With that being said, some actions absolutely don't warrant the punishments that they're met with. The folks in this AskReddit thread describe the most mind blowingly stupid things that they ended up getting busted for. Like, yo, let the kid look out the window and stare at the birds for a second. 

Someone's chopping up some onions in here, man. I swear. These aren't tears from sadness. Just a simple biological response to some fresh cut onions for an afternoon omelette. That's all. Alright, seriously though, this story from Twitter user @thomas___mcfall is making the rounds again, and it serves as quite the powerful example of the importance of not making assumptions about people that you don't know. In this case, the setting is a classroom, and the characters involved are a couple classmates from different corners of the world. One classmate mistakes another classmate's completely genuine niceties for selfishness/insensitivity. It turns out that he couldn't have been more wrong. 

Bart Simpson gets an F, and all of a sudden Tumblr goes full on debate mode. Seems about right. If you're looking for more fun from the wild world of Tumblr's obsessive and creative minds, check out this Tumblr thread of a dude getting schooled on physics and car safety.

Let this be a lesson to all of us that the power of gummy bears should absolutely never be underestimated. Gummy bears can motivate someone to dig deeper than they otherwise would never will themselves to go. Good for the teacher for using something that they already had to improve a situation from the unwanted place that it otherwise was stuck in. 

While it is a teacher's responsibility to know things, they're still human and are capable of getting those things wrong. It's when a teacher says something wrong and doesn't own up to it when things get weird. What's the value in lying to kids just so that you can maintain a false sense of authority? Sometimes teachers don't give their students enough credit, like this tumblr thread about a teacher underestimating their students for a social experiment. With the veritable weirdness some educators display, luckily there are also teachers who pulled total bro moves.

Some people get horrendously nasty when they're rejected. It's as if they've led lives in little obnoxious bubbles where they haven't learned that some people in the world are just going to tell you no, regardless of what you try to offer them. Suffice to say, mom comes out of this conversation looking like she really let herself go in the worst way possible. Check out some more entitled folks and their astounding boldness over here. 

Bullies are the worst. This particular scenario involving a class bully has that sweet, fairytale ending though. The bully gave their classmate a hard time for a monologue that took quite a bit of courage to present to the rest of the class. The thing is, the bully very clearly took a shortcut on their own book report, and only watched the movie. So, their classmate asked just the kind of question that exposed the bully's cheating to the rest of the class. Everyone just needs to play nice.
