What's The Worst You Ever Cheated?

[VeeJay]

My senior year in high school, I took a course in Bookeeping. Boring stuff. And if you got behind you'd never get caught up.

Our answer was a guy we affectionately nicknamed "Ed" whose mom had taken a Bookeeping course using the same textbook and study material we were using in our class. The teacher was too lazy or naieve to create tests using his own abilities. Before the year, he simply tore out all the self-tests at the end of each chapter. Every Friday those were our tests.

Ed would bring in the answers every Friday morning and five of us would huddle together and memorize the answers.

A couple of the guys in my Cheater's Club were on my baseball team and not exactly Honor Roll material. Yet, they were consistently turning in 98's and 100's on the tests while the Class Valedictorian struggled to get C's on the more difficult material.

In that same class, we had a project to complete as our final exam. I struggled with it because I really hadn't had to study much to make glowing grades. Toward the end of the project, one of the guys on my baseball team had gotten his girlfriend's project answers and shared them with us. She was one of the ones who had a clue.

So my project was turned in with errors and wrong answers in the first half, yet miraculously morphed into a fine piece of work at the end with all the right answers. The teacher was as clueless about what was going on in his class as I was about Bookeeping.

I saw that teacher a couple of years ago when my daughter graduated from HS. We talked for a little while and I couldn't bring myself to tell him what a dummy he was.

Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat.

[SicEmBaylor]

I've never cheated on school work, but I did cheat a student council election by "fixing" the results.

[Boomer.....]

I always used to type equations in my calculator. Too many to learn!

[sooner_born_1960]

Instead of learning to spell, I just memorized the spelling of the words on the test.

[Mjcpr]

I once hosed Oklahoma on a replay call.

[royalfan5]

I've never cheated for my own benefit, but I have always been willing to whore my intellect for the right price. My favorite example was the President of FCA paying me to get him through a Christian Religion Class.

[fadada1]

one of my best friends swiped the physics final the day before the exam (my last test ever in high school). needless to say, 4 of us studied it all night, finished the test in about 10 minutes, and still only got about an 80 on it. apparently we weren't very good at physics.

[SicEmBaylor]

I used to write reporters for people for a price and the weird thing is that I put twice the effort into writing papers for other people as I did my own. In high school this chick (she was hot) asked me to write a report for her so I did and she made me a cheesecake. Well, anyway she entered this paper into an essay contest and won $100. How much of that $100 did I see? Nadda.

[crawfish]

Once in English class, the teacher fell asleep while we were taking a test. We very quietly - and by "we", I mean the entire class of 25 - passed the test key from off her desk around so everybody got the right answers. She didn't even question why the entire class got a 100. :D

However, cheating is wrong and I am ashamed of myself. :O

[Howzit]

I never cheated, but I did realize early on in Physics 2 that I could show up and put all one letter on the multiple choice exams and still get a C with the curve.

So I did that.

you were that unprepared for the first test? :texan:

[SicEmBaylor]

In a freshman english class at Baylor we had this prof who was ALWAYS late to class. She'd get there just before the 10 minute grace period. So one day some guys in my class got the bright idea of taking the clock down and moving it forward 5 minutes. So the grace period came and went so everyone left the class early. Anyway, the next class period she comes in and doesn't say anything about us leaving the previous week but we had a test and then she tells us, "You must turn this in 15 minutes prior to the end of class since you guys love to get out of here early."

[colleyvillesooner]

heh

[GottaHavePride]

In eighth grade I turned in the same book for a book report six times in a row. The teacher never noticed.

[Hatfield]

i turned in someone else's take home final once. teacher called us out on it since it had the same typos and everything, to which i replied, well you said we could work on it together right? she did the first half and i did the second half...then i left.

i rule.

[colleyvillesooner]

We had a clueless teacher for History Part 1. We had to do two book reports. Two girls in the class each wrote 1 book report, and when it came time to turn in the second one, they just switched and turned in the others first one.

Got 100's both times.

What does this have to do with you? :confused:

[Petro-Sooner]

Had a prof that would leave class during exams. Only checking in once or twice for the hour and fifteen minute exam. Made a small cheat sheet and put it between the TI85 calculator and the cover.


It was wrong yes. But this class was my kryptonite and I didnt care how I passed.

Why isn't anyone here saying "well this one time I had sex with .......?"

One time at a casino I had split 8's four times, and doubled down on a couple of them. It was a $25 table, so I had a couple hundred bucks playing. The dealer drew about 5 cards and actually hit 21, but couldn't count for **** and thought she had busted, so she paid the table. None of us at the table corrected her. Of course if it had been a $5 table and a single hand I'd probably said "uh that was 21 there."

[RacerX]

I don't recall, I can't remember.

[TexasSooner01]

Sorry, I dont kiss and tell. :O

Nobody else had gone there so I figured I'd leave that one be. Plus, we start to get a little too real for a messageboard.

[Pricetag]

During my fifth grade year, I went on an incredible streak on spelling tests, never missing a question. Well, as the year went on, the teacher and other kids in the class began talking about what a big deal it would be if I was perfect for the year. The pressure became incredible toward the end of the year, and I eventually ran into one that I didn't know for sure. The opportunity to glance at the spelling presented itself, and I took it. I finished the year "perfect" on the tests. I even got an award for it at the end of the year. It's stupid, but I'm still ashamed of it.

First time I had sex... I wasn't cheating but she was. Found out after we were done that she was married. A few years later we had First Aid class together at Rose State. She was happily remarried by then and we became friends. Nice girl.

[usmc-sooner]

this one time at Camp Lejeune, when I was a boot. We were running races to see who was stuck with cleaning and who had the latter half of Friday off. Well to make a long story short I took off early ( I cheated) I won.

Adapt, Improvise and over come. If you aint cheatin you don't want it bad enough.

Not doubting your story, but how do you become "friends" with a former lover without wanting just a little for old time's sake?

I do apologize if I appear crass in my quest for an understanding of the human psyche.

We met at a party when we were both drunk - me 16, she 18. Next time I saw her I was 19... the drunken lust was done by then.


She was still hot though.

[VeeJay]

Truer words were never spoken. And let me add there is a fine line between cheatin' to accomplish one's goals and cheatin' for greed, to harm someone, or to tarnish one's reputation.

[VeeJay]

Years ago, I cheated a major tobacco company out of $32,000 on a promotion, but my sales rep. agreed to and approved the cheat. So, is that cheating?

[VeeJay]

Ya know, come to think of it, I really get mad when I see liberals cheatinig.

[critical_phil]

i cheated a couple of times (that i remember) in college.

one time was in biochem I, where 50% of one exam was drawing all 20 amino acid structures. i didn't see the point in learning that, so i carefully drew them on a piece of paper and taped it to my pencil. turns out i was right in not seeing the point to that whole exercise. i've never had anyone ask me the R group of isoleucine.

the other time that i distinctly remember was in statistics. i didn't do so hot on the first exam, but i noticed that some of the problems looked familiar. i looked at the chapter reviews, and the problems on the test were the even numbered problems from the reviews - which were not in our solutions manual. i went to the math lab, "borrowed" the tutor's copy of the solutions manual, and photocopied it.

i ended up doing o.k. in that class.

IMO, that's not cheating as long as you didn't take the copy in with you to the test.

That's called being prepared. :)

Regarding KCMO's comment about the drunken lust being done, and being friends - well, I've never known the drunken lust to actually end.

[C&CDean]

Oh nay mon ami.

A year or two later, I'm in Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut and was having a real good blackjack day. So, I decide to play a $200 hand. Guess what? That's right, 8's. Four of them. Now I've got $800 out there. First 8 gets a 3, so that's right double down for $200 more. Next 8 gets a 2, so another double down for another $200. Next 8 gets another 3, another double down. If you're doing the math, that's $1,400 on one hand. So, she throws another 2 on the last 8. I only had $65 left in my pocket, so I give it to her and I double down for less. I had hands of 18, 20, 20, 19.

I've got $1,465 dollars riding, the dealer has a 6 up, and nobody else takes a hit. She turns her down card and it's a 10. We're all going YES! Then the spawn of Satan's loins turns her hit card..........and it's a 5. She pulls a 21, swipes my chips off the table so fast my head swam and was ready to deal again. I said "give me a marker" and walked over to the magic money machine and got another $200 out. I went back over, played it all, got two 10s for a 20, and the dealer drew 6 cards to 21. I left.

As I was walking out, it felt like the atmosphere had gotten a little heavy. And I'm working in NYC, so I've gotta drive a couple hours back south. It's about 11 pm, and I get to the Whitestone Bridge. A $5 toll. I had .37 in my pocket. I had to turn around, go back and find an exit where there was a convenience store with a machine, got $20 out and finally got to my hotel at LaGuardia at about 1 am.

So, like I said, cheaters never win. Karma ALWAYS catches up.

[frankensooner]

I sat next to Chu Kennedy during a final in a criminology class. When I finished he turned to me and said I did a very good job, only missed two.

Heh. I'd say it has more to do with math than karma.

Play the house over time, and over time, the house will come out ahead. Every time. Unless you have more money than the house does, it's pretty much a mathematical inevitability.

The guy in the UK who went down to the Casino with his $100k, and bet exactly once on red had the right idea. Your odds of coming out ahead are highest if you bet against the house exactly once in your lifetime. The more times you bet the worse it gets... and fast, too.
