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…

Discovering your roommate is cheating you out of money leads to a very certain kind of righteous fury. How dare they do something like that? You're living with the person, so there is no escaping these feelings. You see them on a day-to-day basis, and you know they won't pay you back. One person took to r/mildlyinfuriating to describe a very frustrating discovery they had about their roommate. Firstly, they were both college students and had agreed to split the cost of take-out food because acc…

Teachers are the compass by which students can find their way through the vast seas of human knowledge. If you're lucky, your teacher is a trustworthy guide and can help you discover every corner of our universe. But sometimes, your assigned teacher is a total dud who can hardly point due north.

'When you're one whistleblower away from being caught, the sensible thing to do is to NOT antagonize people', said one commenter on a post by u/Agreeable-Key3914, who shared a story that happened many years ago, back when they were working at a pizza shop in college. People have all kinds of college stories to share, but this one is nothing like the others… I bet not a lot of people can say that they have done what this OP did. It definitely takes some courage to call welfare officials on a cow…

Nobody likes an unreasonably noisy neighbor. Renters with thin walls and even thinner patience have struggled for millennia against inconsiderate neighbors and there's a point that they start to think that the neighborhood is simply improved with the surgical removal of disruptive folks. One grad student spent one too many sleepless nights with rage in his heart that he finally took (semi unethical) action against his neighbor...

College students are often blessed with teachers who like to go on tangents about their personal lives, ‘forgetting’ to relay the actual material they're supposed to be teaching for the students final exams. We all like to think we're interesting people, special even — but the fact of the matter is, nobody really cares about the time we found 20 bucks on the pavement, feelings aren't facts, and unlike Harry Potter, we're not the Chosen One. In this case, OP was a college student who got stuck w…

Getting into the University of Cambridge is a pretty big deal, but not everyone thinks so. This father holds quite a few misconceptions regarding what ‘foreign’ means, and also has a stigmatic stance against his own daughter. Taking to r/AITA, he asked Redditors if he was in the wrong for refusing to pay for his daughter's education, based on the grounds that she ‘wasn’t as bright as her brother' and because the University she got into was ‘foreign’. Imagine calling one of the best Universities…

The woman let her niece stay at her home for two weeks as she studied for her final college exams... Her niece's husband stopped by to drop off a report she had forgotten at home, and she was LIVID.
