Times People Cheated and Got Away With It


Cheating on tests or in life is dishonorable, underhanded, and inherently compelling. People are fixated on bending the rules in clever ways, and there are some loopholes people exploited for years. For an amazing loophole there's this person whose dry ice loophole made a mockery of a robotics competition.

Text - WardofromB 65 points · 4 days ago Accidentally cheated on a subject I hated. An arts teacher had us draw bulks upon bulks of A3 sheets of paper. I had done ~20% of the end of semester quota, but I figured I'd deliver those anyway. I accidentally left around 50 blank sheets in the delivered bulk (which was inside a plastic organizer). To my surprise, I got a full grade, A+. Bastard didn't even look inside, probably looked at one or two and figured I had drawn on all of the papers. I didn't

Text - WinstonChurchillin 2.2k points · 4 days ago · edited 4 days ago 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 fuck it up, but he earned such flawless marks (unlike me), that the professor made a special note of its quality, "Brilliant work. This was unlike anything you've ever written before." Ouchandthankgod.

Text - SailorMars1996 2.1k points · 4 days ago In university, we had an exam that was online and during the exam, we weren't allowed to have any other tabs open. I had a study sheet that I created on word beforehand, and I copied the whole document and pasted it into one of the short answer boxes. My professor walked around the lab to make sure no one was cheating, so every time he walked by, I scrolled up to the top where the multiple choice questions were, and when he left, I would search for

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.

Text - llcucf80 850 points · 4 days ago S I've told this story before: 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 "A" on my first start at college, and I still had it on a floppy disk. When I returned years later I had another course that had an essay due. I wasn't feeling doing it, but I remembered this old essay

Text - Red_Danger33 529 points · 4 days ago S So there was this place called Discovery Zone when I was a kid. Usually had birthday parties there as it was a mix of a jungle gym with slides and tunnels along with an Arcade. Think Chuck E' Cheese with a big playground. Like most places that had arcades for kids, you earned tickets and could cash them in for prizes, but like all these places the good prizes cost a shitload of tickets. My parents, being sensible, wouldn't give me unlimited money to

Text - writing the ticket. To my dismay the number of tickets he puts down is in the tens of thousands. I thought for sure it was way too much to be believable, but his argument was that it has to be a large amount for us to both get something good, and we won't be able to use the trick too many times. I agreed and figured we didn't have much to lose. We waited until the staff member who's signature we forged went on break and got to the counter while they were away. The staff member looked at o

Text - darkandcurly 435 points · 4 days ago 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

Text - TCMenace 315 points · 4 days ago My last paper that I had to turn in for my bachelors was a group paper. We were writing the paper on a google doc, and I was the last one to submit my portion. As I was reading the paper, preparing to begin typing, I realized that one of my group mates had written what was supposed to be my part, and had written it better than I did. So I just left it. I didnt tell the group what happened, and just submitted the paper. We got an A, the degrees on my wall.

Text - drkesi88 267 points · 4 days ago - edited 3 days ago In high school (around 30 years ago), I and the rest of the student council were counting up the votes for the new members, including the votes for the new president. I didn't like one of the candidates for president (a dumb jock), and the other candidate was one of my friends. The guy I didn't like was clearly winning, so I counted their votes as votes for my friend as the Principal and Vice Principal "observed". I didn't want it to be

Text - conan145 156 points · 4 days ago 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't possibly enforce 30 minute short term parking spots littered across campus as they simply didn'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't buy a parking pass but got the best parking on ca

Text - 2ndHandJockStrap 121 points - 4 days ago Back in the 90s when some of the earlier "win a free 20 oz" drink gimmicks were starting up, I was able to see enough of the letters on the lids by tilting the bottle and squinting to determine which bottles were the winners. I was like 8-9 at the time and was on a road trip with my family, every gas station I got another free drink. This continued for years. ↑ TheBladeRoden 41 points · 4 days ago So you're the reason we have to enter bottle cap co

Text - crogers2009 99 points · 4 days ago We used to take the online tests back in high school. The website wasn't very secure. The email address of the teacher that the results would go to was hardcoded into the source code of the page. So I'd copy the code, change it to my email, then take the test as many times as I needed to to get the right answers, then submit it officially after I knew.
