Not my story, but I once found a reddit story where a lady bought a wedding dress online. Dress came out great, but somehow the system bugged out and they never charged her.
She tried to call them to tell them what was up, but as soon as the manager who took the call heard it was about pricing he stopped listening and just kept telling her "Should've checked the price before buying!" over and over again and not letting her speak.
She eventually gave up, hung up, and enjoyed the wedding with her free wedding dress.
Just maybe, the manager twigged she'd got it for free, and was trying to keep it that way. Less trouble for him/her, too, paperwork etc etc. Just maybe doing her a solid. Because she was honest :) (and he/she hated their own company lol)
wow that boss should have listened to her the boss could have had a bigger paycheck
My guess is.. that maybe many people have purchased from them and after they used it for the event try to return it as if something was wrong
@@Kayenne54 they* not he/she and them* not him/her but yeah maybe
@@kuddekudde6000 He/she and him/her is still correct
damn the russian one is badass. something everyone “dreams” (for lack of better words) of doing in that situation but very few can actually do it in the heat of the moment. that’s fecking bravery right there😅
I was at a salvation army store looking for cheap furniture, I'm not typically knowledgable in this regard other than a few select brand names like flexsteel but I notice this couch and chair combo being sold together with a 10% discount for 80$ and immediately ran to the front to buy them because I recognized the chair as an eames chair. Wasn't sure yet if it was a replica or knockoff but either way would still be a steal. I tell the clerk that it's also got a 10% discount so she rings it up and says that'll be 8$ and I say to her are you sure that's right? In my head I'm like shit why did I say anything that was practically free. So she calls her manager who then proceeded to do the same thing again and now says it's only .80 cents. At this point 2 people have charged me 10% instead of a 10% discount and one is a manager so I don't correct them I pay the less than 1 dollar and pull the car around as fast as I can trying not to shake with the adrenaline rush as I load up what turned out to be an authentic eames chair and an 8,000$ couch that was practically new for less than 1$
That's incredible, cost you less than a 2" model of an Eames chair
69 likes too, nice.
I would've shit myself had I even been able to touch an Eames lounge, let alone bought it for
And I thought I was good at thrift shopping.

As a TSA agent, the airport body scan one made me feel an emotion I've never felt before
I'm just imagining everyone's faces as he sauntered by
Stop willingly destroying America just for a paycheck. Checkpoints everywhere and 99% of what they do is harass normal people. Hell, the TSA isn't even the worst, but it has to be said.
What emotion would that be lol I’m curious to know the other end
That would piss me off as a airport worker cause now we have a security breach
When I was around 13 we had this guy who sold pirated games for PS1 and since we did not have internet back then let alone a CD writer we bought games from him for a reasonable price of 3.5$
So one day I went to buy a game and he did not have it yet so I came home dejected and without my parents permission I decided to buy some ice cream for myself and my friend who tagged along with me.
The total came out to be 1.5$-ish and the cashier gave me 2$ back then proceeded to hand me back my 3.5$.
My friend almost told her but I hushed him and we left top speed.
That's how I bought ice cream for -1.5$
My mom was really surprised too.
Guy who sold us games was later arrested for software piracy.
That was a ride
Wow. Ice cream AND you get payed for it? Awesome! You successful scammed someone! *nudge nudge wink wink*
@@ribosome1681 Well I was already acting without my mom's permission, I was a kid and I was kinda confused on what to do.
I never really thought: Yeah let's steal.
And it's not my fault that the cashier was a dumbo.
...okay so I did something like this once from the cashier side of things.
I was having a bad time with my period and gave a lady the change as if she gave me a $20 when she gave me a $1
I was wondering about it when she brought it back minus a dollar she gave her mom.
@@Simmlex So that's taking advantage of people as well. So from your logic if someone with a mental impairment dropped their wallet and didn't realise it it's all the more reason for you to take it from them.
I somehow managed to change my grades on my online home school database at 10. I have know idea how, as I wasn't able to read properly until I was 12 because of my dyslexia and had only stated to use a computer for more then Putt putt games before then.
My mom figured it out when she was signing me up for public school. She said that she was more impressed than mad at me.

In elementary school, I think 5th grade, we had a report we had to turn in and I never did mine. So I offered to bring up my classmates reports to turn in and pretended I added mine to the stack. When the teacher asked where my report was all my classmates backed me up saying they saw me turn it in and the teacher thought she lost it on her own so she gave me a C.
Lmaoooo G.O.A.T👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
When I still lived at home, it was a running joke that some of my teas looked like they could be weed. They legitimately were just harmless herbal teas, though. Lol, I never thought that there was that much of a resemblance.

This might seem grandiose or a “one ups man ship” but I was in Afghanistan just minding my own business, everything was calm, and a bullet whizzed by me so close I swear I felt it’s breeze and heard low pitched kinda... whistle or .. wish?
Hard to explain.

Glad you made it through it. Stay safe, brother.
Wow thats crazy! Thank God it missed you!
Did you live in Afghanistan, if you were a soldier, not all that suprised they would have shot at you.
Once, as a teen, I somehow managed to crack one of my bedroom windows (I was probably being stupid). When Dad asked wtf, I blamed it on the cat. IT WORKED.
Of course, I couldn't come up with an excuse when I, pretending my flute was a lightsaber or something, swung it and sent the head joint flying through my other window....
…what…. How do you manage to get the head joint of a flute flying at your window…. Serious bad luck mate
@@heyo8228 If you're gonna swing your flute around, don't play it first. Saliva can be a lubricant like any other liquid.

Years ago, I had to drop out of college 1 semester short of graduation. I was lucky and return after 6 years to finish my BA. Unfortunately, in those 6 years, the course catalog & graduation requirements had changed. The new requirement was for 2 math courses, I had passed Algebra I & now had to take Algebra 2. Since I was rusty after 6 years away, my plan was to retake Algebra I, then take Algebra II at the local community college, take a placement test & have the requirement waived since I would have enough units for graduation. Finals were over & I called the Registration Office to find out what my status was & the lady on the phone told me "Congratulations" you graduated. I couldn't get there fast enough to get a copy of my transcripts for my work file. Turns out that Algebra I in the new catalog was a different course number, so looking at my course work I had met the requirements of 2 different math classes:)
Lol, nice to hear annoying system changes actually working in someone’s favor!
That's great!
When I was in High School, I managed to get around doing a presentation in French class, and then succeeded in avoiding every opportunity to redo it. Round came the end of year review, where the teacher in each subject would sit us down, tell us our final grade, and motivate their choice. I sat down with my French teacher, and she started going through the grades I’d received on my various assignments. Then she got to the presentation, and went: “oh. how strange. I haven’t put down a grade for you here. you were doing your presentation on [French 18th century actor], right?” and I said “yes, that’s right” and she said “well, I distinctly recall you making the presentation. you did quite well! I think C would be a fair grade, what do you think?” (C is a good but not great grade in my country, so more akin to an American B). And I did the only reasonable thing I could possibly do in that situation, and went: “yup, I think C sounds about right.” To this day, I have no idea what it was she was actually remembering-best guess is that she constructed a memory based on presentations from previous years, mixed with her knowledge of my general French-speaking abilities. Still insane that I got away with it though, bc we were only eight people in that class. It’s not like I got lost in the crowd.
meh, she liked you as a person. I got through Italian class in college by flirting with the Italian teacher. I never passed any test with anything higher than a 'D,' and most tests were 'F's.
@@workingguy6666 No, trust me, she really was that absent-minded. Terrible teacher, one of the reasons I don't speak a word of French today. I think she constructed a memory based on the 20 previous presentations she'd heard about the same dude, since I'm pretty sure she hadn't updated her syllabus at any point in the previous two decades.
@@hanna-writes Those are some of the worst teachers to have. Even worse yet, I was asked to be an emergency replacement for an English teacher who was going senile her last year or two of teaching.

I was in 5th grade, just move to the us and didn't speak English. In the morning the teacher would sit us together and I didn't understand what she was saying, so I saw a paper with abcd answer on it and copy it, leave it in my desk. I got a 100% while not speaking the language and she even brag about it outside during a drill, they should've known.

In my 11th grade English class I did do a major essay because I was sick on the day it was assigned and the day it was due. I found out about the easy 2 weeks after. I went to the teacher asking about the essay. Before I could explain what happened he said "I remember your essay it was one of the best in class." I have an uncommon name in my school.
You just learned that what the English teachers have to grade takes up far, far more time than what math, science, and other teachers have to grade. We really didn't read all the assignments - we had to try to have our own lives after work.
29:58 (vaguely related to this story) - When I worked in hospitality, some guy came in and told me how he ended up in the same town he'd spent two hours driving away from. I'm like "Huh?" and he said, big day at some convention/fair for his work; he'd booked a motel in the next town about three hours away (because it was closer to home for the next day's driving stint) and he's just cruising along (it was dark by now); apparently it had rained heavily about 10 minutes before. He hit a huge puddle, his car spun out and went 'round and 'round about four times, straightened up and he kept driving...Ended up in the town he'd left two hours prior. Decided to Heed The Universe, cancel his other motel booking, and stayed there the night. The confusion....lol.

Once I was standing with a friend in a very dark park after hours with a full bottle of vodka. A no-no. A local cop walks up with an extremely bright flashlight. The light was so bright that it increased the contrast of light and shadow such that merely placing the open bottle in the shadow of my leg hid it completely. Had he used a less-bright light he would have likely seen the contraband. We got off with a warning about being there after hours.

This is good, so please use it. I was driving my convertible around NYC one afternoon. I turn onto an entrance ramp for the Van Wyck Expressway, and don't notice that it's a backed up "parking lot" until most way down. I say oh crap, and put the car in reverse. As I get back to the street a cop stops me. He's really angry that I was backing up, screaming and yelling. He takes my license, and brings back a ticket. I say oh well. I read the ticket and it charges me with "Unsafe Backing" I plead not guilty and to to traffic court. I tell the judge that my backing could not have been unsafe because I was the only car on the ramp. He said I was "crazy, but not guilty"!!! The cop started complaining.loudly to the judge, but I got off. I really was surprised that worked. The cop.should have charged me with backing down a one way, but was so angry he made a mistake.
My own story happens on the release night of Skyrim, was in line with a group of friends and then shortly discovered they were actively carding people to check for ID, I didn't have one at the time but I did have the money to pay for the game.
So here's the miracle as I call it, I go up and have my money ready, then all of a sudden the other cashier on the opposite side of the counter behind the person who would hand me the game accidently drops someone's money and then at the same time locks themselves out of their till by shutting the till itself with their elbow which they had to summon a manager to come in and help who directed the two cashiers to pick up the mess that was caused and then proceed to hand me a copy of Skyrim without checking if I had ID, just took my money, assuming I had already been carded probably, and off I went.
I wasn't going to ask questions or raise any alarms I just accepted the game and bid them thank you then walked away with a copy of Skyrim Scott free.

I remember when I was around 7 or 8 I used to live in apartments where a lot of my school friends also lived. One day me and 6 of my friends were playing tag or something going in and out of a laundromat through a window and the door, and the security that works at the apartments caught us and confronted us. Being kids we were terrified that are parents would know what we were doing so as he was asking my friends questions I managed to sneakily slip away and run to my apartment building as fast as Usain Bolt. The best part was that none of my friends were aware that I escaped while they got in trouble and they didn't snitch on me. I'm almost 17 right now and often think about this everyday and wonder how I even escaped. God speed
I have a similar story as the short one at 29:55 about the OP that lost control of a vehicle in snowy conditions but managed to not crash. I was on a steep mountain road in Colorado. The road hugged tight on the side of the mountain, so there were a lot of incredibly tight turns and switchbacks. I went into an area that never got any sunlight during the day so the ice couldn't melt and built up. This was after dark but not too late, and the ice wasn't visible. I started spinning and sliding and the next thing I knew I went over the edge and down the cliff. Well, I couldn't really say how far my car went, but the next thing I knew I was back on pavement. Apparently, I was just a little ways above a switchback and although I went off the road, I ended up BACK on the road just a little further down. This was in an area where it COULD have been 100-200 feet and I doubt I would have survived ... but not only was I not hurt, but there wasn't even any damage to the car.
If you're wondering why I didn't hit a guardrail, in many parts of the mountains there are no guardrails because if there were, snowplows wouldn't be able to operate. This was a primary route between two populated areas where only one had a hospital, so keeping that road open was imperative. I never told my wife because she would worry too much. And I never told my boss because I was driving a company car and I didn't want to look bad. That was 15 years ago and to this day I can't believe my good luck.
OMG...and didn't land on top of anyone else either...The Protection is strong with this one.
@@Kayenne54 I hadn't seen any other traffic for hours at that point. Or maybe it was only 45 minutes, it's hard to say because I was white-knuckling it and every minute seemed like forever. That was a rough trip.
When I was a kid my mom would take me and my siblings to "lets play" occasionally. I would always play a few games in the arcade and then get some silly prizes like candy or rubber figures. The machine for counting the tickets fascinated me and one time as I was feeding tickets into it I noticed that if I pull back on the tickets the machine would count them again as they went back in. So as long as an employee wasn't directly watching me I could add maybe 20% more tickets to my total without looking suspicious.
Well I took this a step further, technically at that place an employee doesn't even need to be present for you to use the machine, you just wait until they show up around the counter and have them look at the machine and write down your count. So as long as an employee didn't see me I could pull back the tickets as often as I wanted.
It got to the point where I had my younger brother distract the employee around the corner of the counter by taking his sweet ass time deciding on an eraser to pick for his winnings while I turned a strip of 10 tickets into 400. Over the course of a day at "lets play" I turned what I figured to be 100 authentic tickets into a total of 5000, the prize was a mini remote controlled helicopter.
I still have that thing to this day as a personal trophy of my mischievous youth.
I like your style Devon!
my story: i was on college campus (i lived in a dorm) and my bf and i had been drinking that night (i was only 19 or so). so obviously not legal for me to be drinking. well i wanted to smoke a cigarette before heading to bed so i went out to the parking deck to sit in my car to smoke (can’t smoke inside the dorm building obviously). i planned on turning the accessories on in the car so the ac would turn on to blow the smoke out but not actually going anywhere. i was drunk as a skunk. thought i’d be in and out fast enough but then the campus police drive by and see me sitting in my car at like 1-2 am. i’m thinking oh shit i’m gonna get a dui for sitting drunk in my parked car. he came up and asked me what i was doing. i told him i just wanted a cigarette but that i was drunk so couldn’t drive off campus to smoke one and didn’t wanna smoke inside the building. he asked if i was a student, i said yes and showed him my id card. i followed it up with telling him i had absolutely no intention of actually driving and was only out there to smoke (which is true, i do NOT take driving drunk lightly and have never done that and never will). he told me to go inside and to go talk to the counselor tomorrow about whatever i was going through to be drinking (i think he thought i was drinking alone lmao). so i marched my drunk ass back inside still shaking from thinking my life was going to be ruined from this dumb mistake. in the end i got away with: being in a car while drunk and underaged and smoking on a tobacco-free campus.
That fella seemed understanding and sweet for all intents and purposes.

I have one, though it's more of a "I got away with it because of a technicality."
I went to Job Corps out of High school and spent a year doing a carpentry pre-apprenticeship. One of the tests we had was following a diagram of shapes and drawing them exactly geometrically correctly on a piece of plywood using nothing but our speed square and math (this was basically an intro exercise teaching us how to read prints and diagrams) there were triangles, a trapezoid, a hexagon, and an octagon, and basically we had to create the shapes with perfect angles and sides.
I did the triangles and trapezoid easily, the Hexagon was tougher, but easy enough if you think about it like a bunch of triangles put together. The octagon is tougher though. You could think of it as 2 trapezoids, but the measurements would be wrong if you wanted to get it perfectly "regular" which in math terms means that all sides and angles are the same. I struggled to get this correct but got pretty damned close. I called my teacher over to check the work, and he mentioned that the octagon was not perfectly regular. I was about to nod and scrap it and do it over again, but then I noticed that the paperwork did not say that the octagon had to be regular. The hexagon and triangle diagrams specifically said "Draw a regular shape" but the octagon didn't. I pointed this out to my teacher and made the argument that if the octagon needed to be regular, it would have said so. I mentioned that if something was wrong with the diagram that it was not my fault, I simply followed it to the letter, and if it needed to be regular it was the fault of who made the diagram, not me.
He listened to me and actually agreed that if I had to make it regular, it would have said so and praised me for catching that on the worksheet, showing I was paying close attention to the instructions. This pissed off everyone else in the class who had made it perfectly before, but my teacher defended me when confronted by them.
I know it's minor but it was the best technically the truth/got away with it loophole ever to me.
When I was 21 back in late 90s, me and a buddy of mine (who was 23) were leaving a friends house driving a friend of a friend home (she was 20). We had been drinking and smoking and were pretty lit up.. My buddy is driving and we get about a mile into the trip and run into a DUI checkpoint, and get told to pull into the lot. We park and my buddy looks at me and says "SHUT THE F UP, DONT SAY A WORD" (I tended to talk a lot and say stupid sh*t when all tuned up, plus we had under age in the car as well). The cop comes over to the car and shines the light in the drivers side and starts to ask the normal questions. On my side a cop comes over with a K9. I look at the dog and blurt out "that dog doesnt look like a normal K9, his snout looks different". My buddy looks a hole through me like he is going to literally tear my head off. The cop then begins to tell us how the dog was a different breed of German shepherd from a different part of Germany than they normally come from. He continues telling us more about it for about 2-3 minutes before finishing up and saying "OK guys, be careful out there and drive safe". No more questioning, no breathilizer, nothing. We then pulled out and went on our way, dropped off the friend and headed back to our friends house, laughing and cheering about the close call we avoided. I told him "See, at least someone listens when I ask random questions......"
I was driving back home one Saturday night on a rural highway, leaving a party with my extended family. I get pulled over by a state police SUV. They ask if I was drinking that night, but I didn't have a drop 'cause I had to get back home and all. Found out I was pulled over because I'd been veering off the right side of the highway like five times, over the white line. I expect to get a ticket for this. Or at least a warning. To my surprise, I get neither. The state trooper understood my explanation that I was just overcompensating to try and stay out of the way of oncoming cars who wouldn't turn their damn brights off, making it very hard to properly make out the road lines. Satisfied that I wasn't a drunk, and glad that I wasn't going over the *yellow* line in the middle of the road, he sent me on my way and left my driving record as spotless as it still is today.
The reason I'm surprised I got away with the veering is that my area is notorious for having some real leech cops sometimes, looking for excuses to make tickets. I was very lucky it was a state and not local police officer.
My senior year of HS I figured out that I could just skip classes. I started out going to class then leaving when the teacher was distracted so I was on the attendance. But one day I said fuck it and just left right after the second to last class of the day ended. I was fully expecting to get called into the office the next day. When I did it a few times and never got in trouble I started skipping all the time. Some of the early classes I could sneak out and go walk around the halls talking to my friends or girls who I convinced to do the same. I took blow off classes like crafts and radio so I could do the work quickly and never got behind. The only time I got caught was when someone snitched on me. But it was a new, fresh out of college teacher who I just lied to and didn’t get in trouble.
When I was in middle school, there was a science project that I had, but I did not want to do it. At all. I kept procrastinating until the day it was due. I figured I could probably get a late grade or something, but I was still too lazy to do it.
Fast forward to a few days after it was due, and he was calling names for people that didn’t have a grade on the assignment. When my name was called, I just said that I had turned it into the tray, and that I had gotten it back. And then something amazing happened. Thank the lord for Isaiah, (one of my friends) because he confirmed that I DID turn it in, and he added that I got roughly a 95% on it. The teacher Believed him, so he out my grade in as a 95%. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. And the crazy part is, Isaiah thought I ACTUALLY did the project. A few months later I told him the truth. He was really surprised.
I started a two person food fight. Everyone saw me start the two person food fight. We ran around the entire cafeteria. The other guy, that I targeted, got in trouble. Not me.
Honestly, this made me really hate zero tolerance rules. He should never have gotten in trouble.
Some things should have zero tolerance.
Long story short, I ran a red light near a cop
Got into a major amusement park for free. My friend wanted to crash the gate, I said let’s get in line for people returning from their car and swipe our hand under the black light to show the invisible ink stamp. Sure enough, the kid checking stamps didn’t even look!
Oh my gosh. I have a story for this.
So, in freshman year of Highschool (long before the pandemic) I had a quantitative literacy class (pretty much just teaching the basics of many different math subjects) where we did all of our work through an online learning platform. This was during the second semester, and because a lot of the online modules were self paced, I struggled. My teacher was very lazy during the second semester and spent most of class time talking about tennis players. I had 3 or 4 required chapters left to get through, which is several hundreds of questions and reading, and I knew I wasn't going to pass the class in time. I told my teacher, and she said that if I did the trigonometry chapter (which was an optional chapter because it was very difficult) then she would assume I passed the other, required, course chapters.
So, I get to working on the trig chapters and I only get through about 3 modules before I notice a problem. She had marked all the required chapters as zeros, which made my grade drop to an F in her class. My school had a mandate where if you are failing a class for more than a quarter you will be put on academic suspension, so obviously this was a problem. I asked her if she could remove them from the grade book until I did the trig chapters which was a part of our deal, and she did me one better.
She said that she would put all the REQUIRED chapters in as 100s until I finish the trig chapter, where she would then change all of the previous grades to match the grade I would get on the trig one. She did this so my grade wouldn't be affected in the mean time and so I wouldn't be suspended.
This was all the set up. Because only a few weeks after she did that, she was fired because of some student drama.
Because of this, my grade in her class was 100%, and there was no one there who knew of our deal. In the gradebook, all of the chapters were marked as 100s. So, as far as anyone else could tell, I had just worked ahead and completed all the course requirements.
For the last quarter of the school year I goofed off in class everyday because I had *passed* all of the required chapters.
Many of the substitutes questioned me, because I was never doing any work in class, and I simply showed them that I had already done the work
Obviously, this happened just out of coincidence and the kindness of my teacher (or more accurately, laziness) to keep me out of suspension. But, I definitely used this to my advantage and I had a very fun time in that class playing videogames. 10/10 would recommend.
TL;DR - My teacher put my grades in as 100s until I did a difficult chapter of math so I wouldn't be suspended, but when she got fired, my grades remained 100s despite me not doing the work.
One more story... I got my mom to take care of my marijuana plant that I was growing in her attic. Told her it was corn
The one where he forgot to queue up for the body scan at the airport all the officers were like “I’m not even mad I’m impressed”
I work in a huge hospital, and if employees want to use the parking garage it costs a whopping $24 a day. I was working 12-16 hour shifts every day for a week, so one of those days I decided the time savings was worth the money and parked in the garage.
Well, when I got back to the garage after one of those 16 hour days my car wouldn't start. My work schedule was so brutal I wasn't able to meet the AAA tow truck for four days, over the whole weekend, so it just sat in the garage accumulating over $100 in charges. When I finally met up with AAA the car just needed an (expensive) battery replacement, and when I drove up to the pay station I was planning to plead my case to get the price reduced...the guy just waved me through. I actually rolled my window down to double check because I couldn't believe it, and he told me the payment system was down and to have a good night.
The first story though- holy hell
The other day I got a double steak burrito and guac at chipotle, and they only charged me regular burrito price. Might as well have been highway robbery.

So ... Guac *isn't* always extra??? 🥑
Oh man, that reminds me of my old local burrito place! I lived in a little town with no store or restaurants or anything except a burrito place and basically a gas station convenience store without the gas station. Those two were in the same building at basically just a bend in the road, and besides that everything in the town was citrus groves and an occasional house.
Anyway, we had a primarily Mexican community, many/most of which didn’t speak English, or only spoke a little. Needless to say, communication was interesting being the one weird white guy who knows barely any Spanish, but I got along fine regardless.
Anyway, I learned, that if I ordered a burrito with/con (fill in ingredients here), it was a lot cheaper than ordering a burrito and add (same ingredients). Turns out there were two different buttons on the register, and depending on how you phrased it, the employees would choose a different button. One button counted the additional ingredients as extra, and charged varying prices for them, the other counted them as a custom order with the same base price, and added them for free. Thanks to that, I got many burritos chock full of tons of ingredients for the same price as a plain bean and cheese burrito!
I ate burritos nearly every day for probably two years of college because of that place, and it was delicious!

That first one was insane
I've spun out twice, first time was a sharp exit ramp I think on I40 toward Jacksonville NC and I slid and spun off down a hill with like a 30 degree slope. Thankfully no trees in sight... Second time was on 74 through Lumberton or somewhere and was going way too fucking fast, at least 80, lost control and swung around a pickup, spun a full 720 across three lanes of empty highway in the middle of the night, and wound up about six feet from the median facing perfectly the correct direction. Dude in the truck was just minding his business doing the speed limit when my dumbass uses Franklin's ability and narrowly misses him and the sign of the nearby gas station, then wildly spun around across the road in front of him... now I hardly ever go over 60 period. Amazing what not being an idiot 18 yr old anymore will do...
Also, while I was in the middle of typing this, my mother informed me that my grandmother was just given two days to live
Moral of the stories: don't drive like a jackass, be grateful for what you have, and never miss that opportunity to call, because you may miss your last chance and not know until it's too late
I remember hot boxing a porta john with my friends when I was back in high school, we didnt think much of it but after we got finished smoking we tossed the still lit joint into the toilet portion. Apparently it hadn't been cleaned in awhile and the toilet must've been drowned in toilet paper. As we started walking back home from the park we noticed an orange glow and smoke coming out of the john. We got scared and called 911 then bolted so we wouldn't get caught. Fast forward a few years later I joined the volunteer fire dept and I saw a hilarious article posted on the station wall that had the porta potty incident. I began to laugh nervously and the captain noticed and said I dont know why you're laughing we know it was you who did it. He said they all thought the incident was hilarious and decided not to rat us out. Apparently we thought we weren't caught but my friends brother saw us and spread the story around and one of his older brothers friends was already working for the fd at the time. Needless to say I thought I'd have arson charges but we all ended up getting off free. Props to the gentleman at the firehouse for having a good sense of humor.
This year in highschool, I had an assignment on CAD that I had to turn in during an online meeting. The assignment was complicated, and I kept making errors. After almost a hour(maybe even more) of redo's and my mom trying to help, she says to turn in the unfinished project, so that the teacher would verify if I was doing it correctly. So did I do. However, when my teacher was checking it(while having shared screen on) I noticed that the assignment wasn't the one I thought I sent. Turns out that when I was selecting the files from the recent tab , one file for the same assignment from one of my classmates somehow reached the top of that tab, even though it was a week old. The teacher says that is decent, and that I would an even better grade if I finish it and show it up in person next week. Not only did I get away with accidental plagiarism, but also she didn't say to hand in the homework the following week. In the end I got a 9(B) for nothing on a important class. Even then, RECENT TAB MY A$$!!!
Edit: I forgot to mention that my device got the file from our WhatsApp group, as the app had storage privileges, as well as the fact that I was lazy, and didn't do it early.
I was an RA in college, and I can tell you that the RA’s were being cool. I can tell you that I ignored things that folks did when I had a good reason for doing so. I even threw a party on my floor when my sorority had initiation because it had snowed the night before, and I didn’t want anyone to be driving under the influence. Surprisingly, I wasn’t fired for that when I was called out for it by both of my bosses in HR.
I once got off with no charges of a DUI with a drink in my center console by absolutely saying nothing. They used the evidence of the cop car cam to see me walk handcuffed to the back seat of the car. Public defender said I walked perfectly and that was the only evidence they had, so I got off.
One time when "cruising" on my motorcycle I passed a cop doing probably around 150mph and just stayed on it all the way to my house, me not realizing I passed the cop I pulled my bike in to my back room and as I was shutting the door a couple of cops fly past my house followed by phone calls of friends yelling at me to get the f'n f off of my bike that the entire country was looking for me lmao. Can't believe I didn't get yanked for that one
At one point I got some vapes off a guy while I was underage, no longer am, and there were some house occupants who lived by the park who were outside while I was waiting and did the deed. I walked past them and he stopped me
"What was going on out there?"
me: "Oh, my friend was bringing me my charger."
"Where's the charger?"
me, panicking the fuck out but I'd hidden the vape so you couldn't see it in my pocket: "He dropped it off at my house, and just came down here to let me know"
"Seems unlikely. Where do you live?"
I was flipping the fuck out and was just like "fuck it I'll tell the truth" so I tell him where I live.
"Who are your parents?" he asks. I tell him who my parents are. "Oh, I know them. If I call them and ask, they'll say your friend dropped off your charger?"
me: "Yep, cuz that's what happened. sounds fake but what can you do?"
"Just making sure nothing is happening that shouldn't be happening. I'm going to check, and I got the plates of his truck down."
me: "ok, you do that" and I walked home. I was having an anxiety attack basically, and took a 3 hour bath so I didn't have to talk to my parents before going to bed
AND I DIDN'T HEAR SHIT ABOUT IT
Nothing
And I think one of the people at that guys house was a teacher who I was friends with, so I think he told the owner of house that I was a good kid and he just was like "ok"
I saw him a few months later and was terrfied, HE SAID NOTHING
Anyway that's over now and I'm never speaking to him again- XD
Back in secondary school (high school in America) I was in IT class and we had this really miserable, obnoxious teacher who I hated. She scared me and so I never felt comfortable asking her anything. Well we were all supposed to sit and do a test of some kind on the computer but I didn’t know the password to sign in.
Everyone else managed to log in and start the test because they had been given the password but I was too scared to ask for it because the teacher had the terrible habit of being mean to anyone who asked her the most basic questions.
Long story short, I sat there the entire time staring at the login screen while everyone else did the test. I got away with it, no questions asked. Teacher didn’t seem to take the slightest bit of notice. Other students made comments to me about how I didn’t even do the test and I was sure I was done for.
But nope! The teacher never found out and I still can’t believe it. She never even expressed any curiosity about where my test was on the system. I think that proves what a shitty teacher she was tbh 🤣
You know, this sounds like how all actual nightmares start. Everyone is busy tapping away, and you don't know why you're there, can't get into the computer...don't know any answers...an actual nightmare. You poor thing.
On the midnight release of skyrim I got away scott free with buying a copy of the game with no ID on me after one of the two employees working a register spilled their tray all over the floor, they had to phone in a manager to help them cover a lane so the manager comes to my lane and scans my copy of the game without asking for an ID because they were in a rush. So I got to pay and walk out with my buddies and I've never forgotten that night ever since all these years later.
For the first story. How did they not kill him when they found out he wasn’t really with them?
One time in school, our class was getting really rowdy and someone had the idea to throw baby carrots whenever the teacher did not look. After a few days, it was going well, and someone got one kid covered in juice because they threw something else. So then, I (the good kid) got the idea, "what if I throw a carrot?" so i did and I surprised everyone.
So we were doing it one day and my favorite teacher (who had no clue I was a bad kid in disguise now) watched me as I, unknowing of his presence, threw a carrot full-force at a kid. Some extra context: 1. This was during quarantine, so we had plexiglass on our desks, 2. we ate lunch in the classrooms to prevent cleaning the lunch tables everyday, 3. Private school, so we were at school instead of remote. So, when I threw the carrot, it slammed this kid's plexiglass and made a loud, deep thump. the teacher watched me throw it and asked if I did it. What was so ironic about it was that we had been told that SAME DAY that we would get a saturday school if we were caught throwing ANYTHING, especially food. I think his surprise was so great that he just gave up and left me without punishment. I was good for like a week and the food throwing stopped for about a month.
When I was in high school, i received an assignment in history class. It was a simple one, something along the lines of "write a paragraph explaining the cuban missile crisis" or whatever. So I turned in a 3 page description of act 1 of metal gear solid 3. My teacher gave me an 85 for sheer guts. She also offered me the chance to redo it but I wasn't going to do the same assignment twice.
I joined the US Navy on the delayed entry program. This gave me time to get in shape so boot camp wouldn't be so difficult. I found out those of us that could pass the fitness test could join the drill team . The test was going well I passed everything...but not the running. Those of us that couldn't run the distance had to go sit down , which I did. My friend that joined on the buddy program saw me in the middle with the others that could not run the mile and a half. He hollered at asking what happened , I told him I didn't make it . He called me over where the ones that made the run were walking to prevent cramps , then he told me to keep walking . No one saw me , which was really good because I never was a good runner.
Just recently when I was buying a couple of bottles of liquor paying with a card I was only charged for one bottle, the cheaper one . There wasn't any charge for the Pussers rum ,saved $32 . I feel guilty every time I take a sip . I'm learning to deal with it. This is the Gunpowder proof 54.5% ALC/VOL
Once in my AP World History class I cheated on an essay we had to write. The essay/question was practice for the actual AP test but we had a week to prepare. My teacher gave each student a (online) graphic organizer to write in notes about what we'd need to answer the prompt (something about decolonization in Asia & Africa in the mid 1900s). She gave us the organizer because we weren't allowed to use our notes for the essay. I completely ignored the graphic organizer and procrastinated on filling it out whenever I did remember it.
The day of writing the essay came (you had to write it during class and turn it in at the end) and I panicked because I had yet to fill out the organizer. So in the class before Ap WH, I had a few minutes of free time at the end. I used that time to copy and paste my notes about the prompt straight into the organizer.
I went into the AP class nervous as hell and began writing my essay. As I wrote it I deleted notes that weren't necessary to the prompt, just in case she asked us to turn in the organizer. I turned it in at the end and closed the organizer hoping she wouldn't ask us to turn it in. She didn't, just asked people how they thought they did on it as they left.
About a week later I received the essay back with a 100%. I had never seriously cheated on something before that and I still can't believe that I managed to not get myself caught.
I just love how Tony is the thumbnail because “I have no idea how we got away with that, but OK” is basically the Avengers’ modus operandi from a legal standpoint.
4:48 idk where you live but literally the whole point of getting your beginners license is so you can have your full fledged license at 17 not 18 (this is the case where I live) I actually recently got mine about a month after I turned 17.
I was going to visit my sister with my Mum and daughter in the country. There were gravel roads on the last leg and going down a hill, I lost control of the car. I slid out of control all the way down where there was a bridge across a large river. the car missed the bridge and landed on a pile of soil that jutted out over the river and got bogged. I was so thankful to have missed the banks on either side of the road and going into the river. Some farmers going past on a tractor rescued us but at first they thought we were just having a picnic. There was no damage to the car.
Mine is this:
When I was in second grade for like hour a week we had to go the a computer lab to do stuff, I don’t really remember what. But the website we used had codes for different activity’s, each different activities has a different code, anyways this one girl saw it on the board and told everyone about the code. We all typed it in and played the new game(which were more fun) eventually I get bored of this code, and stop using it, a few months to by, and our teacher told us that someone in the 3rd grade uploaded a virus using a code.
Apparently almost everyone in the 3rd grade did this, our teacher asked us if we did the virus thing too. We shake our heads, not knowing that the code we put in was same one the 3rd graders put in, the next day we go back to the computer room, and do the same thing, our computer teacher told us where the virus code was( we all freak out,) on the way back one of the girls started talking about the hacks, and we try to quiet here but we get caught.
We were going to get a slip that was like a detention slip but like, worse. I didn’t want to get in trouble, but pretty much everyone in the class has been caught. Minus a few people. I do the reasonable think and fake sick so I don’t get the slip, and in trouble. But I didn’t want to be a bad person, so I got myself sick, I got a very bad fever, and when I went back to class a weeks later my teacher seemed to have forgot, 5 days later and it’s Christmas break, after that a few months go by and kinda forget, and I don’t get in trouble.
In my desk I found the papers taking about the illegal stuff I did(it was illegal). I shove it in my pocket and at reassess I threw in the garbage.
"I felt like a ninja"
my favorite part.
In 3rd grade I caused a huge school scandal and got away with it. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to write cuss words on the wall in the bathroom, so I did. At 1 point one of the custodians went in to clean it off and I was there, with a pencil doing my thing right after she left.After a few weeks the teachers gathered the whole grade (around 200 kids) and said in an extremely agitated voice that they knew one of us 3rd grade boys had been writing bad stuff on the wall, and said for anyone to come forward if they had a lead. One of my friends went to a teacher and said that they saw me with a pencil entering the bathroom. The teacher then asked if I had done the deed, and I simply said I didn't I just forgot to leave my pencil. It worked, and I was never caught. I do regret it a lot however it still makes me wonder wtf that teacher was thinking. Only explanation I have is cus I was a good kid, and never got in trouble once.
Mine is when I got my class A CDL I went to a trucking school that trained in automatics, if you take your DOT test in an automatic you get a restriction on your license that says you can't drive a manual. When we got done they told is to go home to our local dmv back home (we stayed in a hotel for a month) to get our paper copy printed and hard copy mailed to us. By then I had heard of the restriction and the only way to get it taken off was to retake your cdl test, pretrip backing and all. Well when I we t to my dmv the clerk asked if I had any restrictions and I said only corrective lenses. The automatic restriction didn't get put on my CDL and I didn't have to retake my test In a stick, now I work for a company that only has manual transmission trucks and no one is the wiser. It does help that I grew up on a farm and knew how to drive a stick from when I was 15.
When I was in 6th grade I needed to use the restroom, my ELA teacher told me that I couldn't until the constructive response for a test was done. I SPED THE HELL THROUGH IT AND APPARENTLY GOT ONE OF THE HIGHEST ELA GRADES I'VE GOTTEN. I told her that I kinda rushed and she looked surprised (I did in fact get to go to the restroom) TL;DR Had to use the bathroom during test, rushed and got good grade.
Also two more ARE ALSO IN ELA, I had ELA projects (both at different times) I had to draw 3 pictures from a book that had absolutely no images. As well as write TWO ESSAYS. (Island of The Blue Dolphins) and for the second one it was Wonder, I got a side character so it wasn't easy. I ended up sneaking in a Rick Roll which my teacher added a point for. I DID BOTH THE DAY BEFORE THEY WERE DUE. That was fun.
@34:00 Plot twist: They new it was weed. They wanted you to keep it in the cabinet so that they can smoke it as well...
On more than one occasion, I've received goods that have been, in effect, faulty and had the full amount refunded, following by me finding a _work around_ that got them fully working.
However ... I was once arrested for smuggling tobacco into the UK. I was interviewed, under caution with a lawyer present, and finally released 'on my own recognisance' to return at a date/time to be relayed to me later. It was decided that their duty of care required them to take me back to my vehicle along with my luggage. Being disabled, the cop carried my luggage into his car and even transferred it to my vehicle back at the docks. Within hours of returning home, I had sold the _seized_ tobacco (still in the suitcase) to my contacts and the charges were later dropped due to 'it not being in the public interest to continue them' (no evidence!). I don't bother with that crap any more as I have a legal way of getting cheap tobacco from the Continent now that doesn't pose any risks to me. Perhaps not as much savings, but the lack of legal repercussions more than make up for the financial losses.
A lady who was being discharged was going to be sent home w/o an essential piece of equipment b/c it couldn't be delivered for three days. The family, & patient were freaking out. The Social Worker tried for days ahead to get her the item. A hour before the patients discharge, she says to me "What am I going to do?" I told her give me a minute, I'll be right back. I went to another floor and when no one was looking took the needed item from their stock. Came back upstairs and placed it on her desk. She asked "How did you get this?" I acted innocent, but she wasn't buying it. I stole it, if course. For some reason hospitals will send an orthopedic patient home w/o the proper equipment to use the toilet, be it fracture pan or commode. Our ward didn't stock them as it was Internal Medicine. It's a disgusting practice! The Social Worker was cool, so I didn't get in trouble.
On a recent essay, I couldn’t find any decent sources during I minimal time I dedicated to the research. Hopefully it’s not plagiarism, but I decided to cite a fake source. Thankfully, MLA format does not call for working links to websites, so it would be quite easy; all I did was write the website title, name, article, and link and stuff, and format it correctly.
I got 91%, 10% more than the class average. Never got caught.
Dude the guy sleeping in at basic training could have gotten into serious trouble lol
I once came to school with my backpack completely empty, only to realize that I didn't even need it that day
I got a ticket for truancy in my senior year of high school. I had to go to my county courthouse to get my sentence ( I had gotten a ticket for the same thing in junior year and had gone through the same process in order to get a sentence to get a set number of hours of community service). My court date was in June. I was late and by the time I got there the door to the court room was closed. I was such a meek, antisocial, "I just want to go home and nap", person that I didn't know what to do. I sat on the bench outside the door for 15 minutes, then I said "fuck it" and just opened the door. The judge stopped mid sentence as he was dressing down the other truancies down and looked at me.
"Why are you here?"
I told him why.
"Did you graduate already?"
I had walked graduation and gotten my diploma the month before, so I said, "yes."
"Go home then."
I just left.
The story at 14:00, I find it very cute. A kid just looking at a tub of tickets, looking at the employees leaving it, back at the tickets, and then taking them. Talk about an opportunity 😂
BOOOOOYYYYY do I have a story for you. Buckle up folks, it's a juicy one.
I was in my 1st year of uni studying Screenwriting (writing for film/Tv). For one of my modules my assignment was to write short summaries for an entire season of a sitcom - 6 episodes, by uk standard. I write everything up, submit it, no prob. The due date passes. About 1 week after the due date, ny teachers emails me "you were supposed to write 6 episodes, but from what I can see there's only 5". I open up the document and, sure as hell, I forgot to write one episode. However, a bell dings in my mind.
I write back to the teacher saying that the last episode I wrote was, in fact, two episodes, as evidence by the higher amount of lines (the other 4 episodes had a summary of 6-7 lines, this one was about 20). Therefore I mean this as a season finale written as a part one and part two, but didn't actually separate it so I wouldn't break the "narrative flow".
And it freaking worked. My teacher was like "sure, i can see that, I'll note it down so the other marker is aware"
I can't believe I got away with that.
That first story is just gold. 🏅
This was in middle school, 6th grade. I don’t remember what the class was about exactly, but it was near the end of class and we were all standing with our backpacks waiting to leave. The teacher said we weren’t leaving yet and to sit down, and that anyone who left early would get a red card (basically meaning you would get a referral to the front office and a call home).
Well, I didn’t heed his warning and just slipped out the classroom door to start walking to the bus bay. Later, a classmate of mine caught up to me and said “dude, Mr. Kutzmer said you got a red card.”
At first, I was like “well shit”, but not really wanting to deal with it, I just continued on and went home like usual. The next day, I show up, expecting to have to visit the office or be pulled aside for leaving early, but nothing happened. It may be insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but 6th grade me felt like such a badass for getting away with leaving class and getting no punishment.
This might qualify so here's my story:
I was working on a college math test and the teacher was grading everything at the front of the class. I've always been a long test taker. One by one all students hand in their tests and leave. Soon I am the last one in the class still working on the test.
Out of the corner of my eye I see her lean back in her chair.
"Mark stop ✋"
"No I'm almost done!" I say
"Everyone failed! I'm throwing this test out!"
0:10 the Chechen genocide was a disaster, those poor Chechen people :((
when i was in kindergarten, i was picked on relentlessly by some of the boys from how easily i cries & gets angry, easy target for them.
the seats gets rearranged sometimes, one of them got assigned to sit right in front of me, that gave him the chance to just turn around to mess with me or scoot his chair right into my desk whenever he wants.
on one afternoon class, the teacher was walking past us, then she just started yelling at him with no warning. woman acted like he commited unforgivable crime just for some bits of rice stuck on the back of his chair, probably accused him wasting/playing with food or smth. didn't even bother to hear his plead, only stopping and moving on with her teaching when she was done with him and left him crying.
it was probably me, somehow getting those onto his chair by accident during lunch. that could've been me, being violently shamed during class. but i got away scot free with the teacher apologizing for scaring me with the yelling.
i should've felt bad, i really should've done something to help him.
but i also really didn't want to get obliterated in class, and the fact that he(alongside all the other boys) never got into trouble for picking on me + he didn't stop after this just about killed any guilt i had for him in my less than 10 years old brain.
so eh.
I was in some kind of Patriotism class in my 1st semester at uni. The lecturer only gave mid-exam, final exam, and 1 final project in a group. I remembered doing very poorly on the mid-exam (my score was only 60s or 50s compared to my friends whose 80s and 90s, would get me to fail the class if I continued doing the exam this bad). My final exam was worse than 50s I guess, cuz I cannot even answer basic questions (my mistakes actually for not studying at all, this subject was a bit boring to me, the lecturer was awesome tho).
So I figured that I absolutely need to ace this final project to get out of this mess. Turned out I overslept the due time, and my group didn't write my name cuz... yeah I didn't send them my part and was unreachable af. I was sure that I was gonna fail this class and was so helpless I just prayed that at least I can get a D so that my GPA wouldn't be so low. Well, I think God demonstrated His almighty power to me when I checked my grade was marked an A! Then I proceed to check the details of my grade but it shows nothing at all, just a letter A... I didn't talk about that to my friends until we got to the next semester (when it was practically impossible to change the grades), and one of my friends in my group who was doing quite the work got a C+
Also in the 2nd semester, I took a Fluid Mechanics class with this quite old professor. He was a very great teacher, but very stingy on grades, and never interacted with him. I remember getting below 30s two times, acing the mid-exam but got 23 on the final. Then I got a C, which was impossible since I would be getting either an E or D at max. Several people got a straight-up E despite having better grades than mine. There is another dude who got the same case like me, and we decided to never talk anything about it.
we had this event in school where everybody has to do shit to promote the school cause all the schools were having a competition, everyone from the canteen cooks to the faculty members and even the guards at the gate of the school had to participate in the competitions. This is the time for low grade students to raise their grades.
Well, I just didn't go to school and somehow I still graduated.
It's not much, but I once got away with sneaking into the boys bathroom because one of my little brother's friends said that he was in trouble and none of the teachers would listen to him (it was the first day of school). Apparently my brother had secretly been staying up all night for the past few weeks watching shows and not sleeping, so what his friend found was him sleeping like the dead on the floor of the boys bathroom
First thought that came to mind... "Story of my life"
I was hanging out at my Nana’s (Mexican slang for Abuela if you didn’t know) and she had this candle that smelled like vanilla. I thought it was pretty far down and my Nana was in the other room, I got close to the candle wick and blew the candle out as quick as I could, still being close to the candle when my Nana walked in the room. She didn’t notice me being so close but instead thought the candle went out. I didn’t say anything because I luckily got out of an ass-whooping from my short, Mexican Abuela over my mischievousness. A few years later, I told my Nana about what I did. My Papa (Slang for Abuelo) was in the room and he couldn’t stop laughing, but my Nana got so mad but didn’t do anything because it was in the past. I got away with no ass-whooping that day.
I probably shouldn’t even be admitting this but I told my bank I had my money stolen from me online through a PayPal account and the reimbursed me $400 or so. I spent all that money on FIFA coins. This was over a decade ago now and I still use the same bank
Have a great story. Was in the Navy basic training for officers. It was the last week and things were winding down so we didn't have anything scheduled so my roommate and I decided to take a nap since we didn't get sleep for a long time. We woke up and everyone was gone. Roommate and I were freaking out since we were going to get eaten alive by the chiefs. Didn't know what to do so we stayed in our room and kept our eyes out the window since chow was scheduled in about 30 minutes. We see our class coming back in their PT's covered in sand so we know they got the pit (sand pit where they made you do a hard workout as a punishment.) So he and I put on our PT's to blend in. Everyone ran back in the halls of the barracks and we acted like we were scrambling to get ready like everyone else. They knew some people were at medical so they weren't triggered by realizing the count was off. A friend realized we weren't there and we had to tell him to shut up and we will tell him later when we were in line to go to chow. Everyone in our class got a vicious workout and covered in dirt where my roommate and I took a nice nap. Told the chiefs after we graduated and dismissed, they laughed. Couldn't do anything to us at that point!
These stories are great 😌
15:30 That story got my blood pumping! Mike really is a G! 😂
In October 2016 I bought my first car (used rental) and paid it off by 2019. Well back in may I was in an accident and totalled both cars. It was the first accident I've had (been driving 15 years). Well it took forever for the the towtruck to arrive 2+ hours while it was ar night it was in town next to the highway. When I finally got the paperwork and discovered it was totaled I was sad because it was just over the cost of repairs. However I did get $3k more than what I paid for it.
Also last night my sister, her fiance and ordered curbside pickup from Olive Garden as I was across town and could pick it up. After an annoyingly long wait I got the food and headed home. I was almost there were I got a call saying my order was ready. They had given another person's order. I went back and got my order and they said I could keep the wrong order (they can't take it back) and gave me a gift card for the inconvenience. So instead of having 1 appetizer, 3 salads, 3 entrees and a dessert we ended up with 2 appetizers, 6 salads, 6 entrees and 2 desserts with no duplicates.
Was on an aircraft carrier. I told to move baggage pods (2 large empty cylinders that fitted onto pylons) from one end of the hangar onto a lift.
The captains Range Rover was parked next to the stack of baggage pods under a tarp.
I lifted out the 1st pod and for some STUPID reason I placed the pod against the passenger door - as I turned to pick out the 2nd pod I heard the 1st pod slide and hit the deck behind me.
I obviously panicked, looked under the tarp and sighed in relief as I saw no damage.
Just as I was about to leave I thought I’d check under the tarp again just to be sure the car was ok, thinking I’d let someone know in case there was a search I didn’t see, but then my heart sank… I saw the wing mirror dangling against the door.
There was a massive uproar about it and apparently the Captain was fuming - I was asked about it and only after I denied anything happened, I was told that the Range Rover was out of all the hangar camera’s views and cause they didn’t know when it happened they blamed the hangar crew for the damage…
I have one!
At my old elementary school, if you were riding the bus home you would have to line up and walk down this really long hall to the front of the school, where the buses were waiting.
When I was in 3rd/4th grade there was this girl with a really pretty flower necklace that she wore often. So one day I'm standing behind the girl, staring blankly at the little hook part of her necklace. I reached up, unhooked her necklace, and let it slide down to the ground, then picked it up as I walked by.
To this day I have no idea how no one noticed-it wasn't like I was at the back of the line, and there were tons of teachers walking around making sure we were in a line.
In junior high, a friend and I got into a physical fight in one of the hallways; I have no recollection as to why. Next thing I knew, the fiercest teacher in the school, Mr. Conrad, had both of us hanging nearly off our feet by our shirt collars. He told us both to report to the principal's office, and then went on his way. My friend and I looked at each other, then ask each other if we wanted to report to the principal's office for what would have been the definite receiving of detention. _"No"_ was both of our responses. So we both went to our respective classes, instead.
Now, we both figured we'd get called down later that day or week to answer for not reporting to the principal's office, but nothing. Mr. Conrad never mentioned it to either of us as well. Cool.
When my grandpa was at bootcamp (this was during Vietnam), on Sundays they had maybe an hour or 2 of actual chores (laundry, &c.) but still had to do busy work the rest of the day, except during church services, so he went to & slept in every service to get out of it.
i was away drinking with a couple of my fellow soldiers (German Bundeswehr) and it was a wild night with several locations... at about 4am we stopped at a gas station, bought us a 1 ltre bottle of booze and placed ourselfs on a Aldi-Parking lot across base. After awhile someone asked about the time. It would be 45 min till wakeup. So we scrambled through the gate to our barracks gave us a quick shower, changed in our uniform and hurried to grab some breakfast at the chow-hall. Be reminded we were still pretty loaded at this point. So when the Platoonleader held his Morningspeech, 5 of us, including me, stand there like trees in a storm, swaying from side to side and back and forth... Somehow they failed to notice that and we got away scot-free. The only "casualty" was another guy (who wasn´t part of our little group) who got catched drinking a beer while cleaning our platoon-bar in the cellar of the barracks
