Cheating

<p>Cheating is wrong. And there are plenty of people who cheat and then get caught, and in doing so, they learn a lesson about why they shouldn&#39;t have cheated in the first place. But this post is not about those people. This post is about people who cheated and got away with it. So don&#39;t read this article if you&#39;re thinking about cheating, because it&#39;ll make you want to cheat even more.</p><h2>Someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kbzco4/reddit_when_did_you_cheat_something_and_get_away/" target="_blank">asked</a> people of Reddit: &quot;when did you cheat something and get away with it?&quot; These 18 cheating cheaters share their stories of times cheating worked out for them:</h2><p>1.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/PM_ME_UR_TUMBLR_PORN/">PM_ME_UR_TUMBLR_PORN</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I was the top of my class in chemistry, but something was wrong with my brain on our fourth exam; couldn&#39;t think to save my life. I was so frustrated that I crumpled my test and threw it in the trash at the end of the hour. Next class, the teacher asked me to stay behind, apologized for losing my exam, and averaged my previous exam scores. I feel bad, but she saved my ass.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/WinstonChurchillin/">WinstonChurchillin</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I hired some (truly random) guy at a pub to write to my final exam paper for a media studies class because I had too many advanced courses to study for. Not only did he not f**k it up, but he earned such flawless marks (unlike me), that the professor made a special note of its quality, &ldquo;Brilliant work. This was unlike anything you&rsquo;ve ever written before.&rdquo;</p> <p>Ouchandthankgod.</p> </blockquote><p>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/CleaningMySlate/">CleaningMySlate</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I have submitted corrupted word documents and gotten A&#39;s for them.</p> </blockquote><p>4.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Mayosj/">Mayosj</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>In high school government class we had a final exam I really wasn&rsquo;t prepared for. The day of, I wore ripped jeans and wrote notes on my thighs in spots I could see by just pulling on a hole a little bit.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>5.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Sandman1031/">Sandman1031</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>My senior religion class had quizzes every week. I wrote down answers in eraser on the desk. It could only be seen from a certain angle, and could be wiped away quickly. I cheated almost every quiz and never got caught.</p> </blockquote><p>6.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/darkandcurly/">darkandcurly</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>High school gym class. Had to run the timed mile. I am not fit nor athletic. We had 2 days of exercise challenges for a grade, day one being push ups, sit ups etc., second day was the mile. I was absent the first day when my teacher had paired the class up into partners that would help each other keep track of stats etc. Being an odd number of students, when I returned the next day the only person left to be my partner was my old, rude gym teacher. We head out to the track to run the mile, teacher says one partner from each group go first, when you are done we will have the second group go. The first group went and I just stood behind the teacher. The second group went and I did the same. Then I waited until she looked to her right and I came up from her left, breathing heavy, acting exhausted I gave her my &quot;time&quot;, perfectly happy with my shitty time and not even running a step!</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>7.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/EverywhereINowhere/">EverywhereINowhere</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>Acting like I know what I&rsquo;m doing at my job and continuing to get promotions.</p> </blockquote><p>8.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/xxzaif/">xxzaif</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I had missed the original date for my math final before christmas. So the day i got to take it was when everyone was watching a movie right before break so the lights were out and the teacher sat me at his desk so I wouldn&rsquo;t get distracted. He then went and sat at desk with a student so he could watch the movie too. I was moving around on the desk looking at things and I noticed he had left the answer key to the final underneath some papers. I would just move it slightly down to see the answers and then put it on my test. I was lucky the test was all multiple choices and you couldn&rsquo;t have work on your final paper so when you were done you just threw away your scrap paper with your work on it. Easiest A of my life. Sorry Mr. Lieber I know you thought I was some genius.<button></button></p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>9.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/llcucf80/">llcucf80</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I started college in the early 2000s, had to drop out, and went back near the end of that decade. A lot changed in those intervening years, including sites like turnitin not existing my first go around. I had an essay I got an &quot;A&quot; on my first start at college, and I still had it on a floppy disk.</p> <p>When I returned years later I had another course that had an essay due. I wasn&#39;t feeling doing it, but I remembered this old essay I had from before, and I knew that turnitin didn&#39;t exist them (I only turned in a paper copy that time), so there was no online presence of it nor would it get flagged as unoriginal. So I got my disk converter out, got that old essay out, changed the date/course number, and turned it in on turnitin for this other course, and as I knew would happen it wasn&#39;t flagged. I also got an &quot;A&quot; on that paper too.</p> <p>Yeah, you can&#39;t do things like that now.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>10.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/DontShowMomMemes/">DontShowMomMemes</a>:</p> <p>In high school chemistry we had to memorize some poly atomic ions which was just tedious because each had a different charge that I keep getting mixed up. On the final exam we could use the periodic table he gave us from the start of the year as long as there are no notes on it, which he quickly checked. The page was a grainy photo copy and every student had specs of dirt or eraser bits on their sheets. On the main atoms for each of the ions I penciled in tiny dots to tell me the charge for that ion. I got away with it and it probably got me 2 question on a 50 question test.</p> </blockquote><p>11.)

From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/conan145/">conan145</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>In college I worked for campus police as unarmed security, and while I was assigned to the library, I realized that the traffic officers couldn&rsquo;t possibly enforce 30 minute short term parking spots littered across campus as they simply didn&rsquo;t have the manpower to check them multiple times a day. Anyone could park in these spots so for the last year of college I unregistered my car with the school and didn&rsquo;t buy a parking pass but got the best parking on campus.</p> </blockquote><p>13.)

I took the final exam using a bootable Red Hat Linux live CD and used whatever default browser came with that OS. The online test was such that the controls weren&#39;t nearly as locked down as with a Windows-based browser, so I was able to copy and paste text from the course to a text editor and then search it while taking the exam.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>14.)
