This wasn't petty at all. We're talking about someone with a major transgression that had the audacity to steal someone else's hard-earned research. Cheaters never win. It always catches up to them in the end. In this case, the ex-advisor gets rightfully exposed, and that goes on to cost her her job. 

Can't imagine what was racing through this girl's mind when she was trying to make sense of that Punnet Square. At least she uncovered the ultimate truth thanks to a handy lesson on blood types. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the absolute worst field trips that people have ever been on. Many of us have been there as miserable students, stuck fulfilling an obligation to go to some boring place because it's related in some way to the class's material. 

This quick and entertaining Tumblr post highlights just how silly kids can get in the classroom. Can't blame them for taking a liking to Fweej the Overseer. Dude looks too cool for school. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this post about the cold-blooded freak devil cave goat.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the funniest and most ruthless reviews that students ever left for teachers. Students can get real creative with the rare insults when it comes to their final words on a particular teacher. Would expect nothing less. 

This aunt sounds like an absolute nightmare. She proceeded to move in with some family, and mooch off them to such an extent, while being a genuinely toxic disturbance, that the kid was left with no other choice but to take revenge. It really was more of a well deserved scenario of karmic justice. For another story about an aunt being a nasty person, check out the time Auntie Karen offered exposure as payment and got called out.

Sounds like Mrs. Smith brought this on herself. She should've just kept it legit. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most useless bits of information that students were taught in school. We've all been there. Just muddling through the academic grind because we have to, and already aware enough to know that so much of the mind numbing information we're being force fed won't actually end up serving a purpose out in the real world. 

This nostalgic Twitter thread very successfully hits on many of the iconic memories from muddling through elementary school. Whether it was trying to make sure you didn't get caught by those chairs' ferocious static electricity, or fall victim to the terrible taste of those wooden spoons; these are sure to bring many folks back to those strange olden days. 

Some folks might connect with this Quora post that aims to break down the implications of the assigning the word smart to different individuals. Seems like there are a whole lot of "gifted students" out there that suffered the fallout of fielding so much pressure at a young age, just cause tests in class were a bit easier. 

Students will go to extraordinary lengths to not have to study for that next, dreaded exam. Seriously, it's remarkable. We're talking devious kids printing out fake Snapple labels with answer keys on the labels; we're talking students collaborating to cheat off each other's tests by using M&M's; we're talking students tapping their fingertips on their desks to create some kind of morse code. There's some kind of brilliance interwoven in acts of academic cheating. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various stunts that teachers pulled that people are still mad about. Honestly, with some of these it's understandable. Like, the teacher that was clipping his toenails in class. What's that madness about? There's a time and place for everything, prof. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest lies that people heard about college. As it turns out, sometimes college isn't as tough and completely soul-grinding as it's made out to be. Or, on the flip side, folks share that it's not necessary to go to college to avoid finding oneself in an unwanted life situation. In fact, so many are out there crushing it with no college background. It ultimately comes down to what one wants to do. No telling what the final outcome will be. 

This guy got a quick lesson in physics, and that is that physics ain't tossing out any freebies. 

Sometimes folks on the internet step up to deliver the enlightening, necessary, thorough callouts that the internet's clueless individuals basically ask for. In this case, we have a "master" in Animal Sciences receiving more of an education on how horses and their legs work.
