Starting a feud with one's neighbors is never a good idea. This tenant started receiving pizza deliveries intended for his neighbor, who was a college student. It was an innocent mistake until the tenant discovered that this was not a one-time occurrence. It happened repeatedly and incessantly. To make matters worse, the tenant later learned that this same dude was also using his internet instead of paying for his own service. This epiphany would lay the groundwork for some much-needed petty re…

Academia doesn't like liars, as one student found out the hard way. Colleges love to talk about how much they value original work: no cheating allowed! It's never been easier for students to lie about their work, letting computers write their papers for them. And a lot of those students get caught too, flunking their classes and sometimes having to drop out over that indiscretion. This student also lied to his professor, but it wasn't about a paper. Instead, this kid had gotten into that bad ha…

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…

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. (Cue managers everywhere lookin…

In every high school, there are a handful of students who not only do the bare minimum when it comes to work, but they're also pretty lame when it comes to cheating. Look, no one is going to outright condone stealing someone's answers on a test, but if you're going to be the fool that does it, at least be less obvious about it. This Redditor figured out that his classmate had been stealing his answers for the past few exams and was starting to worry that his teacher would think that the wrong p…

How can students be expected to follow the rules when their teachers refuse to do the same? Learning should be a two-way street, am I right, folks? Here, we have a student who promptly submitted their assignment 13 minutes prior to the deadline, only to discover later on that he was given a late penalty on his final grade. After confronting the professor about what he assumed was an innocent grading mistake, the professor dug his heels into the ground and refused to budge. In fact, he claimed t…

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

This one goes out to all the folks who were picked on in school and who dreamed about the consequences for their high school nemeses. As some folks suggested in the comments section, perhaps this student took things a bit too far, buy I guess it goes to show that picking on other classmates is a dangerous game. One should never underestimate how they might get back to you, even if they are smaller and more shy. In this instance , the two students attended a school with a strict attendance polic…

Being the nerdy kid in school had its pros and cons. It usually meant that you were smart, and did well in school. You actually enjoyed reading books and had no problem doing homework or studying for tests. Yet being the nerdy kid also meant that you weren't all that popular, and we all know how mean kids can get when they see something they don't like. Luckily, popularity in school doesn't really get you that far in life, but being smart and actually succeeding in school does, and this petty r…

Every business has a different hierarchical structure that is exclusive to it. The account provided in the story below comes from a former student. The original poster (OP) was a university student majoring in English. During her time as a student, she launched the department newsletter and helped with the editing and publication of the annual literary journal. She significantly improved the newsletter and the magazine, but since she was still viewed as a junior editor, she was expected to perf…

Sometimes, the most rebellious folks in a school are the teachers. Here, we have one teacher who managed to successfully avoid a school tradition for over 30 years at the institution. That silly tradition involved a member of the faculty delivering a speech to the entire student body on significant historical dates. During said speech, the students were also forced to stand still in formation and in silence throughout the duration of the oration. This one teacher, whom the Redditor nicknamed Me…

This is what it looks like when justice is served. This law partner may have been working in the industry for decades, but his outdated way of approaching workplace dynamics became a major problem. It seems like he's the kind of boss who chooses one lowly employee to direct all of his anger and frustration toward, as if there is nothing said person can do to meet his desires sufficiently. Unfortunately for this summer associate , they became the target of all his antics. Most of this unfair tre…

Everyone has that one teacher who gave them a hard time in high school. If life were a movie, there would be some sort of inspirational and emotional arc to that teacher where the two of you come to understand, appreciate, and respect one another. However, in reality, there usually isn't much of an arc at all. Most of the time, the two of you end the year still resenting one another. The only real ending is one of you leaving the school and no longer being a part of one another's lives. This th…

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…

If a teacher is unwilling to give their student feedback, why should the student have to put in any effort? Clearly, this terrible educator had it out for this student despite the fact that he had been completing all of his assignments on time and to the best of his ability. When he received his essay back, he got a D with absolutely no explanation. Meanwhile, every other student in the class was given specific comments and instructions for their required revisions. The student even asked his t…

Don't mess with college kids–what they lack in financial resources, they make up for in social alliances.
