Student Wins Art Contest to Spite Rude Art Teacher


Sometimes teachers misjudge their students, like this teacher who underestimated their students during a social experiment. Other times, the powers that be can be mistaken and disrespectful, like this staff who made a student wait to report a fire. In this case, it was an art teacher who was soundly put in their place after handing down some harsh criticism. Art is subjective, anyway.

Text - O r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/ADrunkenScott 2 days ago My teacher called my work bad and my attitude even worse, it then got featured in the biggest art gallery in the country. oC L I might not be in the right sub, my art teacher said i wasn't good enough so i worked my damn hardest to prove him wrong is the summary. Context: The school i go to is well respected in my country, so it was not uncommon for venues to request to display a students work or to ask for students to sing li

Text - We had just finished a project where we had to mix different pigments to create our own unique colour. Being colour blind i struggled a lot as i literally could not differentiate between half of the pigments. I gave it my all but ended up giving up half way through the project. My teacher hated me for giving up. in his defense he had tried to make it as easy as possible for me, but i hated the subject and saw a way out so i took it. My teacher was beyond mad. When we went to hand the proj

Text - Once that project was finished, my teacher told us that gallery X has asked that we create some 'inspired art'. We were basically shown 5 different paintings that we were supposed to recreate in our own way. There was a big fuss about this. People were saying that art schools would be giving out scholarships, that there was a $10,000 reward and other nonsense that 14 year olds make up. But never the less everyone wanted to be the one have their painting in gallery X. So for the next month

Text - I drag myself to each lesson, quietly working my self to the bone, counting down the days until the deadline of the project. After what seemed like a year to 14yo me, the second last lesson arrives. This lesson was not for final touches or anything like that. My teacher had decided that he should review what each student has done well and where they could have improved. He walks round the classroom, complementing everyone's work, until he gets to mine. I don't remember exactly what he sai

Text - The last lesson finally comes and i cant wait to be over with this stupid project. This lesson was the big one too, the judges from gallery X were coming to school to judge all of the work. They come into our class, do all the formalities, 'These all look so good! i have no idea how we can decide on only one!' ect... Then they start walking around the room muttering to each other. The whole class is stood silently at the back trying to hear what they are saying. They do a full lap of the

Text - I look on at them in shock, then yet again smile politely and say thank you. i cannot begin to describe the look on my teachers face. I don't think i have ever seen someone more confused, angry and disappointed all at the same time. My teacher then begrudgingly thanks the judges and walks them to the door. He thanks them again as they leave then stumbles back to the class. He doesn't even congratulate me on my work he just defeatedly says, 'Good work everyone. as a reward ill put on a doc

Couple Gets Fed Up With Roommates, Move Out With Everything


Many of us have experienced bad roommates at some point in our lives. It sounds like these particular roommates were all kinds of toxic and passive aggressive. So, when the couple could put up with their antics no longer, they decided to up and move out with all of their belongings. Thing about taking all of their belongings, was that meant that the old roommates were left with pretty much nothing.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/ElectroBonuzz • 1d + Join I'm not gonna pay for your comfort This happened last month. By some universe coincidences, me and my girlfriend ended up living with another couple in a rented house to split costs. It was a big house so each couple would have their own bathroom, bedroom and we shared the common places like the kitchen and the living room. The house was originally rented by a co-worker who by the time of this story was no longer in the house anymore, but all the

Text - This other couple was really annoying, they would leave their dirty dishes in the sink with rotten food and only washed them until the weekend. or leaving their dog to poop all over the house. One time the guy was cooking in a torn out shorts and his underwear was very visible, this was really uncomfortable to my girl. Any time I talked to them about all the issues that bothered us, they used to change their habits for a few days and then it was all the same. But the house was rented and

Text - Ok, I did my best to wear a hoodie and sleep with my winter clothes in the middle of the fucking summer inside the house, just so they would be comfortable and for the sake of saving a few bucks in rent money. And of course the innevitable happenned. The electric bill came and it was 4 times higher than the usual, and it was a lot. So I talked to them about how their use of the electircity was out of control and why we should split the bill 25/75 since me and my girl are almost never home

4.

Text - After this bastard and his girlfriend made me pay for their comfort, they started doing a lot of passive agressive stuff like throwing out my unspoiled food while they would leave their rotten food on my fridge, or using their TV at the highest volume while I tried to sleep (I get up really early to excercise before work, so I go to sleep really early). And a lot of things like that in a very childish manner. In addition of still leaving on every kind of electrical device in the house whi

Text - We talked to the owner of the previous house about us leaving and he had no problem at all, so it was all set. We waited until the other couple were out of town for the weekend and took every last thing we owned out of that house and moved out. I left them without any furniture, I mean no stove, no microwave, not even a table to eat. I left my keys at the entrance of their bedroom door and a note that said "We couldn't bare your attitudes anymore so we left with our belongings, have a nic

Choosing Beggar Offers Exposure For $30K Sapphire, Gets Rejected, Makes Threats


Man, in terms of all the kinds of choosing beggar cases that we encounter, some of the worst must be the ones involving choosing beggars offering exposure instead of actual payment.

Check out another wild choosing beggar scenario, with this choosing beggar who wanted a free VCR, but only if it was new.

Craziest Things Deep Sleepers Slept Through


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the craziest things that people have slept through. Many of us have known (or are that person ourselves) someone who has an uncanny knack for being able to drift off to the dreamland, and remain there, through moments of absolute chaos. Could be sleeping through multiple fire alarms, or maybe something like remaining unstirred when a literal lightning bolt strikes the airplane.

My girlfriend woke me up at about 2am saying how scared she was of the storm and that the power went out and she was worried. I told her while half awake to "leave me alone l'll deal with it in the morning" and that "it's just thunder I don't know why you are freaking out" she was fuming at me when I woke up the next morning and found out that a tornado destroyed a high school not to far away.

If you were not aware, cats get very loud when they fight. My brother , who was in high school at the time, jumped out of bed shouting "it's kitty

I got up and went to the bathroom and confirmed that my water had in fact broken. Got a towel and went back to bed. Woke up at 5:30 in the morning with some big contractions and figured I better get to the hospital. Went to the hospital dilated to 9 and baby was born 20 minutes later. So labor. I slept through my labor and transition. Highly recommended. Reply 2.

Groomzilla Is The Choosiest Of Beggars

Man's Translation Fail Results In Hilarious Misunderstanding


Man, oh man, we love a good old translation fail. Due to this guy's poor ability at speaking Chinese, he ended up in a hilarious misunderstanding with his mom and sister. Poor dude thought his sis was in real hot water. Fortunately, the truth came to light, and all the laughs were had.

The word she used for "to fire" (si) sounded like the phrase used for "to give birth" (si kah). I dont know pinyin Chinese sorry. In my Kindergarten level Chinese brain, I took this to mean that my brother in law has 5 children outside his marriage to my sister and that's the reason she and her kids were staying at our place. What was actually happening was that my
