Group project partner refuses to do any of the work, even when the member doing all the work falls ill:'He acted as if he was entitled to get an A like I did'

That kid in your group project who didn't do any of the work, instead deeming their membership to be enough contribution to qualify them for a good grade, gives off exactly the same energy that a lot of managers do… taking credit for the success of their subordinates' efforts purely by merit of their presence. In fact, a lot of them probably go on to be managers who do this, their confidence propelled by that earlier undeserved success with a lack of effort or accountability. Disappointingly, t…

'I purposely picked all the wrong answers': Student sabotages cheater by feeding him incorrect answers, switches to correct ones when he's not looking

Most high-achieving students have had to deal with slackers in the class. They might ask for your input on a writing assignment, only to try to get you to write the entire essay for them. They might mooch off of your study guide. They might contribute next to nothing on a group project and attempt to take all the credit. And of course, they might look over your shoulder during a class test. Here, we have a student who understandably had enough of the slacker who sat next to him in class and rep…

Live-in Landlord refuses to return deposit, inspiring tenant to win it back in court: 'I just wanted my deposit back'

It's always best not to let money come between friends, and it's even better not to let money come between distant acquaintances because, in those situations, you don't even have that tight of bond to keep things even-keeled when the going gets tough. Making matters worse is the fact that you're not complete strangers who can handle business without letting it get personal. You're better off not knowing them at all so that all parties can remain objective because you're never going to look at f…

21-year-old university student wonders if they're wrong for refusing to contribute to expenses while living at home with her parents: 'They feel that it is my duty to contribute to the household...'

Whether or not you're still in school, you're an adult at 21 years old, and as such, it stands to reason that you should be significantly contributing to your living situation. There may be some situations where your family might be wealthy enough that you can get away with not contributing, but for most, the reality of most family situations will be that this is not the case, and at 21 years old, you will need to be contributing. Readers here voted for the university student not to be in the w…

Students stand up to landlord for refusing to repair heating, withholding rent and later winning lawsuits against them: 'The judge finds for us for double damages'

For some reason, there's a log of predatory landlords going on in and around universities. Something about the melting pot of higher-density areas, where tens of thousands of desperate students are vying for limited accommodation. The entire system further holds student tenants hostage based on the fact that they need references from previous landlords to get accommodation for the upcoming year. The problem is that, as a young student, you're very limited in your options for previous references…

Students get terrible teacher fired by doing exactly what he says: 'He was fired later that day...'

It sometimes happens in life that there's a discrepancy between your own abilities and what you imagine them to be. This overestimation can have wildly different repercussions, but sometimes, it just earns you a role in management. See, that unearned confidence seems to translate really well in interviews with people who have no idea that you don't know what you're talking about, meaning that the false bravado can land you a job you were never really cut out for.

Not one of us is as infallible as we'd like to think. Draw a line in the sand for where you think you've been right or wrong in disagreements in your life and then take a couple of steps backward. That perspective will probably show you that you're not really as “corect” as you might think and that line is probably closer to where you're now standing. After all, we're all determinately fastened into our own narritaves and tend to have

'Have fun failing the final': Dedicated student gets petty revenge on classmate who demands their notes

'Have fun failing the final': Dedicated student gets petty revenge on classmate who demands their notes

This student is getting really fed up with their classmate's annoying habit. The student, u/chewy200, is in that awkward position of being the person who gives notes to their classmate . They always take plenty of notes on the lesson (oh, and they regularly show up to class, which their classmate can't seem to do either). They shared that their classmate isn't very appreciative of the work they do, either. But how does one get out of sharing notes? After all, they already have to be in the clas…

'At the age of 11 I received a speeding ticket... on my bike': 20+ Nonsensical reasons people got in big trouble

I think everyone has at least one time they got in trouble for reasons that completely baffled them. As a kid, you put a lot of trust and faith in your teachers and parents . So when your favorite third-grade teacher suddenly punishes an 8-year-old you for doing something ordinary, it's quite confusing. It startles you and makes you question authority. Although the reasons make no sense to the kids involved, maybe the adults in the room are just having a bad day. Especially when the person is a…

18-year-old daughter changes name without telling parents, Mom and Step-Dad learn at her graduation: 'I never wanted to be his kid'

Names are a personal thing… A personal thing that you traditionally have no control over—yet that defines your life before it even begins… and forms the basis of how others shape their understanding of you. It's understandable why we need them. The whole thing just makes sense and would be a little confusing if we didn't have ways of categorizing and referring to one another—even in the simplest means of communication… Imagine a world without names where you had no way of identifying who a mess…
