Student Wins Art Contest to Spite Rude Art Teacher

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Couple Gets Fed Up With Roommates, Move Out With Everything

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

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

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

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

4.

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

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

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

Man, in terms of all the kinds of choosing beggar cases that we encounter, some of the worst must be the ones involving choosing beggars offering exposure instead of actual payment. In this case, that was only made worse by the fact that the choosing beggar proceeded to dish out the threats when they were rightfully rejected. Check out another wild choosing beggar scenario, with this choosing beggar who wanted a free VCR, but only if it was new.

Craziest Things Deep Sleepers Slept Through

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

Groomzilla Is The Choosiest Of Beggars

Man's Translation Fail Results In Hilarious Misunderstanding

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

Dumb Ways People Got Scars

There's no reward without a little risk, but sometimes we take huge risks for to prospect of no actual reward. Understandably, there are a lot of stupid ways people injure themselves. Sometimes people get caught up doing a dumb thing, and other times it's total chance, like biting into a particularly sharp waffle. Come to think of it, there aren't a whole lot of smart ways people injure themselves.

Tumblr Thread: Hitting Terminal Meme

Memes are a sort of ephemeral form of communication. Most of them need some sort of context in order to operate well. As this tumblr thread shows, the further we get from some, understanding them becomes a form of cultural anthropology. These ones still mostly make sense though so it's still pretty funny. For more tumblr stuff, here are some random tumblr gems to tumble through.

YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1) this first lyric replacement ("take the breadsticks and run") is a reference to the tumblr meme 'stuffing breadsticks into my purse'.

IT Guy Takes Revenge On Sleazy Brokers

We love a good old IT revenge. Especially when it involves some shady brokers that took their IT guy for granted, as they ran their firm like a candy store, and ultimately learned IT guy was absolutely crucial. Plus, the fact that they ended up having to pay another guy on contract basically a year's worth of IT guy's salary was truly the icing on the cake. 

Check out some more juicy IT revenge drama with this story about a military IT guy getting back at a meathead mercenary with an epic revenge.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/Floridatrashburner • 2y Lie, Cheat, Layoff and Gamble with our wages, enjoy no IT department. Lurker finally coming out to share. Years back, I worked as the IT Director for a small brokerage firm. These types of places try to run lean so I was also the ONLY IT personnel. I took the job, but was a bit under-qualified if I am being truthful. The reason they gave it to me was because I was young, and they thought they could underpay me. They were right, it was 10k more

2.

Text - I struggled and had to do an endless amount of learning on the job, but I made huge improvements. The day to day was sketchy there. We only had 5 employees, supporting the 4 partners and the 70+ brokers. Brokers didn't really work there, they rented a desk for a percentage, so they didn't care how many brokers there were on staff. There were a couple of gems, but ultimately we were understaffed because they looked at full time employees like we were stealing from them. They made us work l

3.

Text - One partner would take money from broker commissions and go to Vegas with it. If he lost the money, we are talking 100k+ per trip. He would just let the brokers know there is a hold from the bank and their commissions are coming in slow. Another broker asked me straight up how to hide his affair from his wife. Another had me come to his house on company time and install some audio/video equipment after hours, without paying me. When I came on board, they were 10 years out of date on techn

4.

Text - Then the partners started doing REALLY sketchy stuff. They had me open employee exchange mailboxes and run mail queries on email addresses, turns out they were lawyer email between the lawyer and their client, a broker or employee. They had me do this all the time for anyone. I would have to collect it all then they would fire them and keep their clients. It is illegal in the brokerage firm to look at them, I didn't know that at the time. They somehow convinced a lending company to merge

5.

Text - I found out the plan was to fire everyone from the firm and just steal the name and the client list. They had only been there a few months. Long enough to learn their business. I also found out they were gonna fire me now that everything was more reliable. Guess how I found out? During an email query one of the partners had me do on another partner.

6.

Text - So, the ONLY nice people at this shit-hole were getting locked out of their offices over the weekend, I was getting fired now that I had essentially made myself redundant, in their mind. Well, let me tell you about the red folder. The red folder was locked in my file cabinet. It contained every password for admin access to every system. It also contained the fireplan, or downtime plan of every system in the company. My boss didn't really understand why we needed one, and he never really l

7.

Text - I told them that I was quitting and not to mention me. He said he understood, and thanks. I changed the only other admin password that my boss had access to. I shredded the red folder. T emailed my resignation. They begged me to come back. They offered me a 30% pay bump. They said they were shocked I was so disloyal. I heard years later from a secretary that worked there at the time it took them 4 months to get all systems under control again. They had to use a contractor they had relied

8.

Text - tldr; A group of sleazy brokers run their firm like a candy store. They eat up anyone nice and good and shit them out while stealing and cheating. They planned to fire me afterI made improvements to their infrastructure in IT. Well good luck getting anything working again with no passwords. Dummy Account 6.5k 254 1 Share

Tumblr Thread: Extreme Analysis of the Ratatouille Timeline

Tumblr has a love for delving into Pixar movies, specifically Ratatouille and The Incredibles. For example, here's Tumblr's deep look at The Incredibles as well as Tumblr's look at the significance of the Ratatouille Chef Boyardee scene. To give credit where credit is due, they're good movies worthy of attention. That said, Tumblr gets extreme with its analysis of this kind of stuff.

1.

Text - thestuffedalligator "In what year did the events of Pixar's Ratatouille occur?" They do not give a specific year, but the film offers a lot of information if you look. There are no computers, celphones, or internet, so we know it takes place prior to the PC revolution of '95; it is not contemporary with its release date of 2007. Skinner and Linguini share a bottle of "61 Château Latour", so we that is the absolute earliest year the film can take place in. Rather than go down the list of c

2.

Art - Bomb Voyage... in Ratatouille. Image from Imgur.

3.

Text - Canonically (according to the producers), this mime seen in Ratatuille is Bomb Voyage, the supervillain seen in the first act of The Incredibles (I). This is good, because we know with a fair degree of certainty when The Incredibles takes place. Wwwvn Metrauille Tribune SCIENTISTS F THE MISSING LIN Meirovine Critu. Crinma MONDAY MAY 16TH 1962 ISTS FIND CATASTRO AS CRISIS May 16th, 1962, in Act II of the first Incredibles film. Image from Imgur.

4.

Text - As seen in the newspaper, the date of the second act is 16 May 1962. Now we need to figure out when the first act took place. 15 YEARS LATER Image from This Insider. We know that Act II starts fifteen years after the events seen in ACT I. Violet's age of 14 is consistent with this timeline.

5.

Text - 1962 - 15 = 1947 If we assume that superheroes and ultratech existed in 1947, that would explain the (in our eyes) anachronistic car designs seen in Act I. Looking at the Bomb Voyage pics, we can see that the face (and body) has not changed much, but by the same token, neither has Mr. Incredible, so this does not help much with the date... so let us look at other clues. Paris has no modern buildings, so this fits well with a time frame closer to the end of the Second World War. Pantry che

Text - Colette wears her hair in a style popular in the late 1950s and early 60s but practically non-existent in the late 1940s and early 50s. Colette's motorcycle looks anachronistic, but can be explained by the existence of superhero tech... if contemporary fairing designs are not convincing. All TVs are B&W, with only a few color cabinet models seen. All product packaging is contemporary with the late 40s to early 60s timeframe. So everything is pointing to Ratatuille taking place in the vici

Stingy Boss Skimps On Employees, Ego Takes Hit With Taxes

The human beings that insist on being jerks deserve to pay those taxes. Love to see a stingy and toxic boss get their comeuppance. If you enjoyed this fine tale of revenge, check out another recent story of petty revenge with a dad who took down an inconsiderate county mower with a rebar.

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/anonymous_bun • 194d Stingy, narcissistic boss negs and skimps on employees, so I damage his ego with some asshole tax Let's call my asshole boss Eugene, since his stinginess reminds me of Eugene Krabs from SpongeBob Squarepants, except Krabs is nowhere near malicious. In order to display the full satisfaction of this revenge, I will have to describe a few (but not limited) things Eugene did that entitles him to being a complete jackass.

2.

Text - For the context, Eugene owns a small company that provides artistic services of some sort and never hired full-timers (which I later learnt that it was due to his stinginess). Initially, when I saw the open part-time position, I thought it was ideal for me as I had external commitments, and needed some sort of income. The job offers about 550USD per month (I don't live in the US, this is a rough conversion), but only required me to clock in about 90 hours a month. It wasn't a very good of

3.

Text - The first couple of months was fine, I worked the hours I was supposed to and got paid accordingly, occasionally extending my shift at my own time due to the nature of the work, but I didn't mind. I guess Eugene saw this as an advantage he could exploit later on during my employment. It is also important to note that Eugene would often ask about my well-being, how did I spent my weekends etc. At this point in time, it all seemed like courtesy talk so I didn't pay much attention to it. He

4.

Text - Eugene gradually began to grow more impatient towards me, often blaming me for not being able to match up to his ability. Remember when I was inexperienced thus the payrate? Eugene had over a decade of experience in this expertise and he expected me to be at his level when I was only 3 months in. The stress was intense and I began working longer hours just to keep up and produce work at the best quality I could. I was under the belief that if I worked hard enough, my effort will speak. Ev

5.

Text - Eugene pulled me into his office and lectured me on my work etiquette, saying that I wasn't putting enough effort he was considering letting me go. At this point, I was beyond confused. Did he really not see the effort I put in? Was I delusional in thinking that I was actually doing well and my work had been improving? I tried speaking up but he quickly diverted the topic, telling me he knew the reason why my previous employer hated me. It was because I was lazy and uncommitted. To say I

6.

Text - Now, if you read my title, you will see that Eugene was not only a narcissist but also stingy af. Eugene is obsessed with maximising his profits. Any business owner would love that, I agree, but Eugene is down to every cent in immoral and even possibly, illegal ways. He would sell a service to a client, and upon receiving the deposit, deliver something else. He was smart enough to keep his contracts vague (for both clients AND employees) so that nobody could not take legal actions against

7.

Text - So in my country, employers are required to pay a certain amount of tax for every local employee they hire. While it is not exactly tax, it is obligated by law and negligence will result in a hefty fine and possibly jail time. These "taxes" are technically contributions for the employee's retirement funds, which is payable by every employer. Employer can deduct a certain percentage of the contributions from the employee's wages. This law has its own complications since there are a certain

8.

Text - I stayed in Eugene's company for about 4 months, before I felt too mentally overwhelmed. On the day that I left, I called in to check on my Contribution account and just as I had expected, Eugene hadn't paid a single cent over the past 4 months. The officer on the other end of the line asked if I would like to report this as a case, guess my answer.

9.

Text - A week later, I received an update from the Contribution Board, saying that Eugene had disputed my case, claiming that I was only an intern and thus, exempted from the law. This jerk was playing dirty as a last attempt to steal from me. As I had mentioned, Eugene thought of himself as a smart man, and probably felt that the officer would rule the case in his favor since he had world-class convincing skills and his vague "contract" would have protected him either way. Fine, Eugene. So you

10.

Text - I didn't hear from the Officer for 2 weeks and when I finally did, he informed me that Eugene had agreed to pay my contributions. Remember when I said employers are permitted to deduct a certain percentage from employee's wages? Due to his negligence, Eugene could no longer do that and had to pay the full amount, on top of the fines that incurred along with it. If he had dutifully abide by the law, it would had only costed him a third of what he had to pay. So that's a bit of asshole tax

11.

Text - A ex-colleague of mine, NJ, who is still working for Eugene told me that during the 2 weeks I didn't hear from the Officer, Eugene was busy fighting for his stand by giving every reason that I an exempted individual. The officer, having seen my email, soon got tired of his nonsense and gave him a deadline to pay up or he'll be brought to court. NJ said he had never seen Eugene so defeated before. To top it off, it seemed like karma had finally caught up to him as he started losing more an
