Class Bully Gets Exposed For Cheating and more...

Bullies are the worst. This particular scenario involving a class bully has that sweet, fairytale ending though. The bully gave their classmate a hard time for a monologue that took quite a bit of courage to present to the rest of the class. The thing is, the bully very clearly took a shortcut on their own book report, and only watched the movie. So, their classmate asked just the kind of question that exposed the bully's cheating to the rest of the class. Everyone just needs to play nice.

1.

Text - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/georgiemaebbw • 30d 1 1 Nice "book" report class Bully. I'll expose your cheating. So this happened in the early 90's. I was in high school and there was a girl who decided I was easy pickings to bully, let's call her Becky. I was shy, naieve, didn't have the wit to say anything back. I didn't have a lot of friends (I spent most of my spare time reading in my bedroom). So she was constantly saying stuff derogatory to me within ear shot to hurt me.

2.

Text - In English class, we had to pick a novel and do a presentation on it. I read "I know why the caged bird sings" by Maya Angelou. I did a monologue in first person. I thought it was great, it took A LOT of courage for me to do that monologue. I did ok. Teacher gave me a high score. Enter Becky. This was a year or two after the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was released. Becky did her presentation on the book she read, "Dracula". It was very obvious that she didn't read the book, only watche

3.

Text - At the end of the presentation, we were allowed to ask questions. She'd already planted questions with her followers, the Becky Posse. They asked, what she thought, would be great thoughtful questions that would show how well she knew and understood the movie, ahem, I mean book. I raised my hand, she rolled her eyes. "what did you think of the importance of 'The Bloofer Lady'?" (I know Lucy was the Bloofer Lady, but I didn't recall it being mentioned in the movie, only the book.)

4.

Text - She went as white as Vampire Lucy, then as red with anger as Gary Oldman's armour. The teacher, having already known she was presenting the movie and didn't read the book, did a poor job at hiding her smirk. It was awesome. Becky stammered out a weak generic answer, having no clue who The Bloofer Lady was. Then sat down. I could feel the daggers in the back of my head. I didn't care. The knowing smirk of the teacher gave me so much empowerment. I never let anything Becky said after that g

5.

Text - =Epilogue= She tired once more to intimidate me. She told a Posse follower, within ear shot of course, that she was going to beat me up after school. A boy (handsome, popular) informed her that I was a martial artist, who had won competitions. She huffled that she could still take me. I'm guessing she second guessed herself, and asked around and confirmed that I was indeed a martial artist. She never bothered me again.

Double-Take Inducing Images of Warped Perspective

With a mirror here and a shadow there, just about any scene can take on new life as a double-take inducing photo of intriguing perspective.

Entitled Mom Demands Art for Cheap, Doesn't Get It

Sometimes entitled people have a hard time understanding that other people's time is valuable, or that they like to be paid for their work. In this case it was an entitled mom who thought she could get a wall painted for free just because this person did the same thing for a closer person. For another one, here's an entitled mom who lost it over some free seashells.

1.

Text - Hey! This is that you were the one wno painted the lovely art in said room I showed it to my daughter and she really loved it. It would mean so much to her if you would be willing to paint one for her too I'm glad she liked it 1 And I would love to I hould have some time free next weekend if that works for you? This weekend would be even better I'm sorry but I have work this weekend Couldn't you do it after work? is really excited. I promised it would be done by the time she gets back fro

4.

Text - Thank you so much No problem From what I can see it shouldn't take me much more than 6 hours but since 4 it would take be around three hours travel time I will have to break it up into two days if that is okay? No that is fine as long as you get it done Since I already have the paint I won't charge you for it But you will need to cover my time and fuel tho What no that's not right said you did hers for free I did but daughter and I did it for her birthday is my God

5.

Text - Plus she only lives a few minutes away from me That's not fair Do you still want it FINE How much £165 should cover it That's ridiculous! Way too much It would cost me about £65 just on travel cost alone £100 is for my time Il do £65 And that's be being nice That should be more than enough just to paint some flowers on the wall

6.

Text - I'm sorry I really can't do it for £65 Your so selfish You know I'm a single parent and you try and charge me £165 for painting a wall It is because I know your a single parent I didn't charge you for the paint aswell With the paint it would have been closer to £200 Bullshit Your just being a bitch £65 final offer No were done here

Uncle Bankrupts Previous Mean Employer

Oh man, this guy literally brought the walls in around his previous employer, until he'd basically starved him of hiring opportunities. This revenge seems cold and calculated, and like it wasn't rushed. Patience can absolutely pay off in the long run.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/bleedybutts • 2y Uncle bankrupts his previous employer Not sure if this is petty or pro or whatever. You be the judge My uncle is an Indian doctor. In the 90s there was a massive doctors shortage in Australia so the government gave him citizenship. Unfortunately you still had to sit 3 expensive exams to work as a doctor in Australia. These exams cost thousands of dollars, only happened twice a year, had limited sitting spots/times and had arbitrary pass/fail marks. S

Text - He decided since he was already pushing 40 + had a family, he would apply to become a GP (family physician) instead of applying to be a surgeon like most of his teachers had suggested. At the time many desperate foreign doctors where applying for GP residency. They would essentially get treated like crap. They would be forced to work unpaid overtime. They would not be given proper study time or leave to sit mandatory exams. They would pocket the meals/ accommodation/study/leave allowances

3.

Text - When my uncle graduated, he applied for GP training in a practice that is located within an Indian ethnic enclave so that he would have access to religious food/ schools etc for the kids. Sure enough this practice engaged in all of the above fuckery. My uncle would work every single Saturday shift. During his dedicated 'study' time he would have to come into work. He got reprimanded for not overcharging patients in line with their framework. Worst of all, when my aunt was really sick and

Surprise, surprise foreign trained doctors actually work well and care about their patients if you actually care about them and give them appropriate wages/li

His old teacher tried to sell up his practice to other doctors but no one would purchase it given how successful my uncle's 3 surrounding practices were. He then tried to sell it to my uncle who refused to buy even at a ridiculously low sale price. Instead he waited for the bank to re-possess his old teachers clinic and then purchased it for a bi

6.

Text - Edit 1: Thanks for all the comments and the gold. Im happy my uncle has brought happiness/justice (+/- lady) boners to you all. He is such a generous guy in real life. Im sure he'd be really happy if he knew what reddit even was. As for a follow up. He didnt even expand any further apart from those 3 clinics. Im pretty sure the land value of the clinics is worth more than the doctors business in them nowadays. Sorry if I didnt read comment. There are so many discussions your going on. For

Petty Injustices that People are Still Salty About

As an adult, you have to deal with some pretty disappointing garbage, but for some reason the real stuff that keeps you up at night, seething with rage, is the thought that in 4th grade you got pinned with calling another kid a butthead when in fact it was actually Dylan.

Mechanic Won't Do His Job, Man Takes Revenge

This guy's a genius. To make matters even better, it sounds like him and the mechanic ended up sorting out their differences and actually working well together. Love to hear that.

I don't follow this subreddit regularly but he is an avid follower and stated my story is worthy. So l'm here to see if he was right. Intro and Backstory My dad was a mechanic for 20+ years, and for as long as I can remember, I drove him nuts because I would go around the house with a screw dri

2.

Text - computers and electronics, which led me to be "that kid" in High School who changed his grades, crashed the school districts servers, and used the NET SEND command with great success. I would spend my weekends either with my grandparents and uncle working on science projects or dragging my dad outside to help me fix my car (which consisted of him telling me that he would help once I got it taken apart). Those "figure it out" lessons were the probably the greatest gift he could've given me

3.

Text - Commo vs. Mechanics As anyone else that was in the US Army can attest to, every Monday is/was "Motor pool Maintenance", which essentially means, go make sure all the Tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles (BFV), or anything else with a motor works the way it should. This included testing all the radios and communication equipment as well. If it didn't work, we filled out the maintenance forms with the correct shop and have them fix it. All the issues would later be consolidated into a report th

Text - I ran my shop using the same approach my dad taught me, which was "figure it out" and don't come to me with a problem unless you have a solution. One Monday morning shortly after taking charge of the commo shop, one of my soldiers came to me with a problem he couldn't figure out and asked if I could come help him. I agreed and followed him over to the BFV that was giving him problems. After a few hours of troubleshooting we finally traced the problem to the BFV's slipring. We double and t

5.

Text - So, I went to the mechanics to get there help so we could fix the problem. This is when I learned the mechanics didn't like the commo shop. I was essentially told by the motor chief to f-off and the slipring is a commo issue and it's the commo shop's job to fix it, not theirs. I was pissed at the response and tried to insist we needed his help. However, I was promptly shut down and told to pound sand. At this point, I was beyond pissed, I tried the official way, I even swallowed my pride

6.

Text - Once I got back to the motor pool, I had my guys locate every extension cord they could find around the office because I could only find one in my garage and help me run power out to the BFV that we were going to have to fix ourselves. Meanwhile, I also had 2 of the guys run to the HQ and find me two of largest empty coffee cans they could find. Tended up having to tell them twice because the first time they thought I was joking.. they couldn't understand why I needed a coffee can of all

7.

Text - When they returned with coffee cans I had everything in place. I had power, compressed air, tools, and a place to neatly put all of the bolts, nuts, and washers I was about to remove. Under normal circumstances I would only remove the things that absolutely had to be removed, the fewer things to put back together, the better. But these weren't normal circumstances, and I had absolutely no intention of putting anything back together. It was about lunch time and I decided my way of fixing t

Text - Everything that I had taken out of the BFV was then gently and neatly stacked in the interior of the BEV.

Once everything was tidied up, I went off to find the owner of the BFV and let him know his commo issue was fixed but he should probably have a mechanic look at his BFV because I had to disassemble some (and by some I meant "most") of the vehicle in order to get to t

However, I was having none of that, I simply shook my head and told him "It was a "mechanical issue" now and it wasn't my job, I asked for your help in the beginning and was told no because it wasn't your job. I'm just a commo guy I didn

Girlfriend Complains About Looks, Man Suggests Surgery

The folks of Reddit have spoken and are in collective agreement that this dude was out of line. Not only did he suggest that his girlfriend use makeup, but he also threw out a bit about her getting very serious surgery on her face. That's just making her insecurities all the worse, man.

1.

Text - Text - 61 1 AITA for suggesting to my girlfriend she start wearing makeup again? Asshole My (24M) girlfriend "Maya" (26F) is the most beautiful woman on Earth, literally perfect from top to bottom. She was drafted by a really big modeling agency in LA while we were in college (how we met) and she made an unbelievable amount of money, enough to pay off all her student loans and buy us a house. We also have a 1yo son.

2.

Text - Text - Like I said, I love everything about this woman – the way she dresses and does her hair, her perfume that smells amazing, and the confidence in how she carries herself is just so attractive. She's also incredibly smart, much smarter than me. Last year, though, Maya's parents died in an unexpected accident, and while it wasn't surprising to me that she was grieving at first, I was, however, surprised at just how bad it was, and before you call me TA for saying that, I had reason for

3.

Text - Text - The main issue here is normally when Maya is upset about something, she will dress up and do her hair and makeup and go out to make herself feel better, but since the pandemic started, she hasn't been able to go out, and so she stopped doing her makeup entirely. She'll still braid her hair and wear nice outfits around the house, but I am concerned about her not doing her makeup.

4.

Text - Text - Another concerning thing, too is she basically stopped eating. Once I realized that she wasn't eating any of the lunches I was packing for her work, I started making more heavy dinners every night like pastas, jambalaya, enchiladas, etc. otherwise she will try to live off nothing but peanut butter and celery. I can't make her eat at work, but I can at least make sure she eats dinner every night.

5.

Text - Text - This all came to a head just a few hours ago - I made her steak and potatoes, and as we were eating, she started talking about how she wanted to get cosmetic surgery to get rid of the bags under her eyes. I told her she could always just start wearing makeup again, because she knows how to conceal that issue, anyway, right? I also suggested that if we were gonna pay for plastic surgery, why not something like the "mommy makeover" package l've heard about, because that would actuall

6.

Text - Text - Maya just got really quiet, and after a really long and awkward silence, she told me she wanted to go to bed. After putting our son to bed, she went into our room and locked the door. When I knocked, she yelled at me to leave her alone, so I went to sleep in the guest room. When I tried to get her to eat this morning, she just snapped at me to leave her alone, and then went for a walk. I need to know, AITA?

Text - RB1327 • 1d • Pooperintendant [67] YTA. She sounds depressed. She needs therapy, not jambalaya or makeup. Reply 718 ...

Text - Text - bobi2393 • 1d • Asshole Enthusiast [6] 1 Award Lol, YTA bud. Your headline buried the lede; suggesting "mommy makeover" surgery to your partner is a sensitive topic at best, and suggesting it to someone in the midst of depression, who already sounds like she's suffering from insecurity...hoo boy! The only mitigating factor in your favor is that you might be so idiotic that it's hard to hold you fully accountable for your insensitivity. Reply 878

9.

Text - athshe2 • 1d • Partassipant [2] YTA. You didn't just suggest she wear makeup again. You suggested she have a much more serious plastic surgery than what she suggested. She's obviously feeling concerned about her weight and you just validated all her insecurities. Reply 3.3k ...

10.

It is completely understandable for her to not wear makeup if she cant go anywhere in it any way. Her not eating, however, is concerning. She is grieving. Even if somone didnt have a good relationship with their parents they may still be incredibly upset about their death. Everyone reacts differently and it seems like her grief may be causing

I think your heart is a tiny bit in the right place, especially since your trying to get your girlfriend to eat. However, that should be your only priority not suggesting a mommy makeover and that she wears makeup. She opened up to you about her insecurity and you told her forget about that worry getting other parts of her body done. Even if she hadn't tragically lost both parents and ha

Her and her parents had a bad relationship but she is still entitled to grieve, as she is grieving the possible future relationship she could have had with them. 2. Hey I've been working from home for 6 months and wear PJs all day and don't brush my hair or wear a bra. Why does she have to wear makeup? 3. Being stuck inside does take a toll on someone's mental health, and on top of grieving more than likely makes it worse. 4.

Text - Text - calyxium • 21h YTA - You didn't say "hey why don't you try wearing makeup again to make yourself feel better?" Your girlfriend expressed an insecurity about a physical flaw she feels she has and you basically said "Oh no you should fix this WAY BIGGER flaw instead!" You did a lot of work to convince us you think she's beautiful. Time to apologise and go convince her. Her not wearing makeup and eating less could be a sign that she's struggling with depression but it could also just

Business Associate Won't Pay Personal Loan, Gets House Taken

It's stories like this that can make people feel like the only people they can trust are themselves. This guy was borrowing money from tons of people, with what would seem to be no genuine intention of actually paying them back. Unfortunately, this guy's tactics didn't get the guy to reconsider his approach to life and finances. Oh well.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/TheBreakUp2013 • 4h + Join Business Associate Won't Pay His Personal Loan, So I Take His House This happened 13 years ago, but the details remain as clear as the average post-COVID day is long. For background, l'm an attorney and have experience in commercial lending. A business associate who had struck out on his own real estate development company approached me about borrowing a substantial sum of money (low 6-figures). I had it, but was hesitant. He was trustworthy, but

2.

Text - So, I asked for additional collateral. I put in the note that he would give me a mortgage on his commercial land and a mortgage on his $3 million house. I also put in that he would sign a quit claim deed to me on his house, but I wouldn't record it until he defaulted. He did all that I asked. For information, a quit claim deed transfers an interest in property like a regular deed, just without warranties regarding title, etc.

3.

Text - So the time came to pay off the loan (it was short term - 2 months), and he didn't have the money. I was understanding, but only gave him another week. In that week, I asked around and it turns out he borrowed substantial money from others and was living a high lifestyle off of the borrowed money while nominally keeping his development projects afloat. When a week came and he still didn't have the money, he gave me the sales pitch. He also told me he wouldn't be able to pay back all inter

4.

Text - As you can imagine, that set off a $hit storm. His lender on the house freaked out on him, he freaked out, and I got my money back, my interest, all of my costs, and a little bit extra for my time in less than 24 hours. Of course, I released the deed on his house as well. I was fortunate to get my money back. A lot of his other lenders, who didn't have my background and ability to navigate the situation, ended up with nothing. A few years later he ended up in prison for financial fraud. I

Photographer Offers Free Shoot, Still Isn't Enough

These choosing beggars just keep on coming with their unyielding, wildly irrational demands. This time we've got a particularly gnarly choosing beggar with formidable levels of entitlement that managed to pitch a fit about a free photo shoot. I mean, come on. Check out another choosing beggar case with this choosing beggar who wouldn't pay for a site to get developed because it was free to visit.

1.

Text - Hi how are you? I really like you images and l'd love if we could do a collab? Hi, thanks for reaching out ! I'm glad that you like my iamges ! Are there any specific shots that you were looking for? I currently have a special for 3 looks and 9 edited images for $175! Lmk if that's someting you'd be interested in

2.

Text - Oh really? I was mostly looking for something that I wouldn't have to pay for, which is why I said collab! I currently don't have funds and would appreciate if we could just work something out and both be happy! Got it. I'm not doing free shoots at the moment as I'm very busy. But you seem to be genuine so I just thought of something. I got this camera from my grandfather that has been sitting here for a while and I think this is going to be a great

3.

Text - opportunity for me to test it out and maybe we could do a trade as you mentionned ? I also have this really cool backdrop that I wanted to use...So let's say we do a TFP shoot where I try y new backdrop and new camera on you (probably an all white outfit would work for what I have in mind; can be a dress, a wedding gown or anything, just white ) and we do 1 or 2 additional looks where you get to pick whatever outfit/image style that you want, free of charge 9 ! How does that sound?

4.

Text - Hmmmm. I am not really into being used as a "test out" sorry! this soudn like something you'd hire a model for and pay them? so I got a ! Since you're trading with 2 "free looks" | can make you pay me just half of what you'd pay a regular model if you were yo hire them for your test needs! better deal And for the white outfit that you wanted I could find one online and send you the price for it? or also I could rent my mom's wedding dress and have you pay a very low fee

5.

Text - for it ? l'd be honored to wear my mom's wedding gown ona shoot! I think that you misunderstood the word "test". I'm not using you at all, I'm actually doing you a favor since you're the one needing pictures. That "test" as you mentioned can be done anytime and I also can do it without a model. Why would I pay you if you were the one who brought up the "trade" part ? And also l'm not providing any funds for the white outfit, as I said it could be anything white,

6.

Text - if you don't have someting white send me your measurements and l'll try to see what I can get from a friend of mine who is a stylist ! I also have a local make up artist who I work with, she only charges $45/ hour for a shoot if that's someting that you'd be interested in ( ar your own cost of course) if not you can just do makeup for a natural look! hope that that's more understandable!

7.

Text - Wow ! You seem to be veery demanding for what you call a "trade". I have to pay for my make up too? Is this a modern type of slave labour ! Come on man, now why don't we just put the tst thing aside to make things less complicated because you said that that's something that you don't need a model for ? You could just do the shoot for free and I can bring all 3 looks of my choice? I don't have too many outfits, so having your styist friend would also be appreciated !

8.

Text - As for make up, how about you choose the make up that tou want for me ( not too muc make up of course) and you get to pay the Make up artist, since you're gonna pick up artist, since you're gonna pick the one I should have? I think thi will make things easier Did you just said my that I was too demanding after all these things that you want done at no charge lol?

9.

Text - You know what I don't think that this is going to work! I'm pretty sure that are other photographers out there who'd be willing (maybe) to prove what you're looking for, but not me! I'm gonna pass on this "trade"! Good luck Really ? I need these pictures and you should help me! You know that I will look beautiful in all of them and that'd be great for you! Hello?

10.

Text - Can you please respond rather than leaving me on seen? Never mind ! It's your loss anyway! Just know that if ou get any negative review, you know where it's coming from Unprofessional Aa :)

Professor's Greek Beach Tale is a Crazy Close Call

Apparently the moral of this story is that tight pants can save your life? Maybe it's an exception to the rule. Either way you wouldn't expect this from an 80 year old history professor. For some more close calls, here's a dad whose instinct save his daughter, as well as some creepy paranormal stories from night shifters.

Martial Arts Academy Skillfully Shuts Down Helicopter Parent

People that go out of their way to leave blatantly false reviews are the absolute worst. They're consciously working to bring down perfectly good business' reputations. It's garbage. Fortunately, this martial arts academy was ready to address the lies with pure masterful class.

Text - 2 reviews 2 weeks ago Horrible experience! My son (3 years old) has been going there now for three months and everything was going great. He loved the coaches and was really enjoying himself. Then out of nowhere the Main Guy Bob pulls me to the side and tells me that my son has been disruptive the last few weeks. My son is 3 years old and at times doesn't put his %100 effort but he was never disruptive. He was acting like every other child his age. It's unfortunate that this place claims

Text - opposite. Bob pulled my son off the mat and started to yell at my husband and very dramatically said to him he will no longer be able to come to the facility... he did all of this right in front of my three year old. His little heart is broken because we really enjoyed coming here. They really need to look in to retiring Bob from the 3-6 year old class because he doesn't know how to work with kids in the age range. The general manger is a nightmare too. Don't waste you time or money bring

First, we try our best to work with every person that walks through our doors. Be it child, teen, adult or pro. Bob (the instructor) had to spend time out of every class with your child because he didn't want to take part in the beginning portion of the drills. Instructors can only do so much to motivate a student to participate. Bob explained prior to that day's class that

Text - the know. Class begins and the same routine happens. Bob takes your child off the mat and explains you need to take your son home, as previously discussed. Your husband, who has never been here before or saw a class, yells at Bob that he needs to show patience with your son. That is exactly what Bob and the other instructors have done the entire time – which is work around and try different things. Bob and your husband adjourned to the office where they spoke, along with another staff mem

5.

Text - plenty of people who were witness to Bob being patient and polite throughout. You wanted to speak to someone and left a message on the GM's vm , which you spoke to the following morning. It was explained in a polite manner that this isn't working out for your son or us, and we feel the best thing would be to move on. We can revisit at a later date and would keep the door open for your son to come back. The bottom line is, he wasn't ready for the class.

6.

Text - There was no arguing. We simply explained what we thought was best at this time. Again, the door was open for your son to return at a later date. We said we'd refund you the month, which we immediately did. You then called back an hour or so later and said you wanted to speak to someone above the GM and if not, you'd tell all your friends how Bob yells at the kids and put it on social media.

Tumblr Thread: Women Should Rule The World

This fun Tumblr thread shines light on the inner workings of Shakespeare's comedies. The deeper point of the thread would seem to suggest that when equality is achieved, the rest of the show flourishes. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about how the infamous Violet Beauregarde got robbed.

Text - e penfairy Women have more power and agency in Shakespeare's comedies than in his tragedies, and usually there are more of them with more speaking time, so l'm pretty sure what Shakespeare's saying is "men ruin everything" because everyone fucking dies when men are in charge but when women are in charge you get married and live happily ever after zetsubouloli I think you're reading too far into things, kiddo.

The dogma, thanks to the church, had always been "durr hburr women are evil sex is bad celibacy is your ticket to salvation." All that changed in Shakespeare's time, and thanks to him we get a view of the world where marriage, women, and sexuality are in fact the key to salvation. The difference between the structure of a comedy and a tragedy is that the former is cyclical, and the latter a downward curve. Comedies w

Text - or if they are morally sound, they are disenfranchised and ignored, and refused the chance to contribute to the society in which they live. Let's look at some examples. In Romeo and Juliet, the play ends in tragedy because no-one listens to Juliet. Her father and Paris both insist they know what's right for her, and they refuse to listen to her pleas for clemency. Juliet begs them - screams, cries, manipulates, tells them outright / cannot marry, just wait a week before you make me marry

This society is unsustainable. King Lear - we all know that this is prompted by Cordelia's silence, her

Text - society cannot renew itself. Now we come to the comedies, where women do have the most control over the plot. The most powerful example is Rosalind in As You Like It. She pulls the strings in every avenue of the plot, and it is thanks to her control that reconciliation is achieved at the end, and all end up happily married. Much Ado About Nothing pivots around a woman's anger over the abuse of her innocent cousin. If the men were left in charge in this play, no-one would be married at the

At the end, happiness and harmony comes when the women are allowed to marry the men of their choosing, and it is these marriages that are blessed by the fairies. What of the roman
