Re 1st Story: My freshman year of high school I had a biology teacher who was just... odd. He was the in charge of the school's Adventure Club, basically long hikes, cliff climbing, and nature stuff. I couldn't join, you had to be a sophomore, but he would allow freshmen in his classes to tag along. I went on a hike with them to the bottom of the Hoover Dam (the high school is in Henderson, NV) and the group was like 30 total. The hike down was fine. The hike back, in 110°F of the Arizona desert wasn't as great. A lot of us ran out of water on the two hour return trip, I got heat stroke. But worse was two kids were missing when we got to the pick up point. My teacher pulled a ham radio out of his pack, called the ranger station and informed them of the issue, then told the drivers to get the rest of us home. That was when I found out this goofy biology teacher was also a former park ranger. He refilled his canteen and went right back out. The two lost students were found and brought home with little more than dehydration and sunburn. He was weird, really weird, but he'd be damned if he lost a kid.
I'm just embarrassed on the behalf of Mr Frost that he either literally never noticed or he noticed and then did nothing. Like, it wasn't even a blip on his radar when he realized that none of the kids had asked him to drop them off at Jon's house? Jon and OP mean so little to him that he didn't feel their lack of presents sooner or later? He never realized and turned around to go back for them? I think that the mistake your teacher made was human and he rectified it immediately by turning around to go back to get the two kids.
@ArcanineEspeon part of our problem was we were broken into about 4 smaller groups and spread out over about half a mile. Different experience and fitness levels. My group was towards the back because we all stopped to let me recover in a drainage culvert. But I have nothing but find memories of that intensely weird man.
Biology teachers are ALWAYS weird and usually the good kinda weird. We had a teacher who had some weird questions the first day and opened up with "Yes I was on TV, if all of you pass your exams we'll do a day talking about it at the end of the year-- please just wait til then" Turns out he got LOST IN THE AMAZON and was on I Survived. We had a lockdown one day as everyone was leaving for busses/pickup and he took the time to fish kids outta the hallway before putting all of us back in his storage cupboard while manning the door with a fire extinguisher as a weapon. 10/10 teacher, never felt safer than in his class. He also jumped on his desk and shouted "Mitochondria in the powerhouse of the cell" which is a core memory.
Bathroom story: 🤣 Dude released a pressure valve!!! That secretary needs to grow up. People excrete substances from their bodies, liquid, solid and gasses and have since the beginning of the species. What's offensive. I would be more concerned about making employees turn on and waste the water because someone is offended over a natural bodily function, such as taking a leak.
if i was the manager, i'd be more concerned about the employees who are focusing on someone in the bathroom over anything else. talk about a perverted action.
I've heard this one before; it's been theorized that the secretary just wanted the bathroom to herself and was harassing people with complaints to that end.
Like, your job is to pass students, so why are you so proud of failing them? All this tells everybody, including your bosses, is that you're a terrible teacher and you shouldn't be teaching impressionable young kids...
Yes, it is the nobody gets an A on my tests teachers that annoy me or they knock points off for the most ridiculous reasons - you wrote in black ink not blue, your tie is not properly done up.
If they were bragging about a 30% pass rate ya that’s awful and means you’re bad at your job. The AI story isn’t oh look at me my class is so tough it kids cheating the system by failing them now the worst the get is a bad mark and maybe fail a class that costs them nothing. If they try that at a collage level and get caught they risk getting kicked out due to misconduct or something like that.
This is not really a major story, but one time at an outdoor bazaar I saw a middle aged veteran wearing a Gulf War army veteran baseball cap at a sticker table. The proprietor lady, completely out of nowhere says she has the right to refuse servicr to anyone, including muderers and oil profiteers such as him. He took it completely in stride and walked away. Only a couple of minutes later and completely unrelated to him, the management of the lot where the swap meet took place confronted her about why she wasnt displaying her peddlers' license whixh was required of all kiosks and stalls. Turns out she didn't pay it for over two months and was illegally squat-selling, so now she's banned. A couple other unpaid stalls from orher sellers also got shut down so it's not like she was being personally targeted. Still, good for her. I hope army guy got stickers from a store that actually values his business. Oops.
That Elara story reminds me of a story my dad told me. He had a teacher who handed out a quiz where the first instruction was to just sign your name and turn in the paper for full credit. My dad was the only one to follow the instruction, while the rest of the class ended up taking the full quiz.
I used to do a similar thing, I would give a out a test with the first instruction to first read all questions carefully before starting. The test started fairly normally before becoming more and more strange as it got towards the end of the test (Which is heavier 1kg feather or 1kg lead? - How long does it take to dig half a hole? Put your left shoe on the table etc). The last question said - Now you have read all the questions write your name at the top of the paper in the space provided and put your pencil down. There were many students who got to the very end before they realized they had been had.
A lot of people skimp in school. Sometimes I understand it, but most of the time it's laziness. People really need to avoid AI though. I'm in grad school. There are graduate students using AI for their work, too. People really need to learn that AI is super detectable, especially now that it's been out for a while. Humans are really good at pattern recognition, and AI has all the same patterns. Every model out there winds up doing almost the same things because it's all trained on the same material. There are words, phrases, and names it likes to use. Also, natural human writing is unique to the author. We all have the same dictionary and grammar, but how we each use it is different. Your writing style is like a thumbprint. But when you use AI, you don't have your own style. You're using a synethic thumbprint that doesn't quite sound human and is identical to the other multitude of users who decided to get AI to write for them. So, not only are patterns recognizable, readers wind up getting that lizard brain tickle of uncanny valley when they read AI content, because it all has that same robotic thumbprint.
When I was in college we had an assignment for a collection of stories. The book was less than 100 pages and had 11 stories. All we had to do was focus on any of the 11 and creative write. Mine was about a woman from that time period coming forward 100 years and getting culture shock. Some students did a "what happened next" type story, one took the story into the modern day, and two went to a certain bookselling website and copied word-for-word the blurb for the book(which they could have done with less effort if they just wrote what was on the back of the book). The teacher gave them a choice, drop the class or be expelled.
I'm a teacher, and that thing BRUHs me up every time. I have two rules. "I can't tell you to can it. You're kids, you won't do it and I don't have that will or energy. Two things. One, check yourself for sound and content. I want no insult nor shouting. Two, not when I talk because I get these teenage cracking voices throwing 'idk what to do I don't understand' after I explained what you can't even read on the paper."
My dad actually had a very similar experience to the story told by the commentor on the last story. He has a degree in computer science, and teaches programming classes. He is well aware that there are places where you can buy and sell other works to students who want to cheat, and apparently, some of his own programs were on those sites. He found this out when he gave a basic programming assignment to his class, and one student turned in a program that my dad wrote (And has used as a teaching example), passing it off as his own. He kept insisting that it was original when my dad gave him a couple chances to fess up, so my dad shut down his whining by saying "I know you plagiarized this because I WROTE IT. And because you refused to be truthful when I gave you a chance to, I will not only give you a failing grade, but also report your actions to the department head and dean." Pretty sure the dude got expelled.
I never understand those phone reps that go: "Nope, sorry, rules are rules!" I work in a field where I'm also regulated by strict rules and guidelines, and my go-to response to those situations is, at *worst*: "I'm not able to do that, but I'll get you the information for someone with more authority than me that might be able to make an exception."

She wasn't a weirdo, but a malicious asshole. She literally wasted tons of hours every day to harass and make official complaint about everyone using "her" toilet. She literally just tried to bully everyone to the point that she'd get that washroom all for herself.
As a 14yo about to be in Year 11 (NZ school system, birthday mid-school year and skipped a year), I am genuinely terrified of the day when a teacher claims I used AI to write an assignment. I developed a writing style based mostly on Russian literature for sentence structure, and relatively old English books for vocabulary. Some of what I write ends up giving off the appearance of text written by AI and slightly edited by a human to make it believable. So, I am spreading the word. THE KNUCKLEHEADS FROM THE LAST STORY DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE TEENAGE HUMAN POPULATION. IT IS POSSIBLE TO CORRECTLY USE CAPITALISATION AND PUNCTUATION WHILE YOUNGER THAN 16 WITHOUT FOREIGN ASSISTANCE. IF A PARENT-TO-BE OR PARENT WITH A CHILD THAT CAN BARELY READ FINDS THIS, *SHOW THE CHILD BOOKS THAT HAVE ACTUAL WORDS, OR IDIOTS LIKE THOSE DEFAMING US WILL KEEP APPEARING*. My rant is now over. Thank you.
I am not a naval officer or any other kind of military officer, but I trained as a civilian ship's officer for the merchant marine and got some basic leadership training as a part of that from Navy and Marine Corp officers and NCOs and one of the most basic things was to always know how many people you were responsible for, where they were, how to contact them, what they were supposed to be doing etc. A huge reason for this was so we wouldn't leave anyone behind in a fire or abandon ship scenario.
In my college days, two seniors got caught cheating. Stupid thing was, the assignment was read a 4 page article and write one page ish (handwritten) opinion on the article. Two seniors had copied the same online paper, which included the original author's own stories. 🙄 The irony is that the class was "philosophy of moral issues" 😂
In regards to the first story, I've got my own story to it as well. Not really a Malicious Compliance, but a sign of how you do not mess with the kids of vets. In 7th grade, my Geography teacher was...well he wasn't exactly the best. This guy would randomly punish me for doing even slightly minor things and would constantly make me sit in detention in his class. This was like an every other week thing, and when I told my parents each reason, sometimes they figured I deserved it for being disruptive, but other times they were just confused about what was going on. Both my parents are former military, and my dad served in Vietnam, but my mom was just as much of a fighter as well. One day, when she knew I was in detention, she went to the principal (who had a slight military background and worked with veterans before he became a principal) and TOLD him, not asked him, to come with her to the classroom I was in. She marched down to my Geography teacher's class, barged into the room, and told me that we were leaving. When my teacher tried to stop her, she looked him right in the eye and told him to sit down, shut up, and leave me alone unless it was for actual class. When my teacher asked the principal if that was allowed, the principal merely said "If there's one type of parent you don't mess with, it's a military parent". I never got detention from that teacher again while I was in his class, though that year wasn't exactly great for me considering how I had a mental break down in school.
I used to be an English teacher, the best way to catch someone using chat gpt writing is just to criticize the hell out of it and give it a failing grade, when you are conferencing with students or after grades are posted many will ask why they are getting a failing grade and ask to redo. Grant the redo and they usually do it themselves
The downside is from what I've seen, a lot of AI "detectors" often unfairly target neurodivergent students. Imo the best way to combat AI use is to get students to do it for an essay...and then prove how completely wrong it is. Unfortunately some institutions recommend you use AI now... it's icky
@ that’s why you assign a paper timed write as the first assignment to gauge writing styles. Also everything I would comment on with the AI paper would be true so even if they wrote it (which since I knew the style of my students writing, I could tell), they would just end up with an A paper. I actually had very little issue with it with neurodivergent students because I would check in with my students (especially the diverse learners) throughout the writing process and could tell that the ideas where their own by how well they understood them. If a student when conferencing had an overly grammatical perfect, but poorly analyzed and weirdly laid out paper with no outline to be found and cannot answer questions about their analysis or expand upon the ideas, it is a safe bet that it is AI. Like I would point to a weak piece of analysis and ask a student questions about it, if it was AI, they wouldn’t be able to tell me anything more than what was written, if it was actually their thought, they could explain the reasoning. What I liked about my method, is that it was non punitive because they could revise without penalty and was a teaching moment. Even if I miss flagged something (which I don’t believe I ever did because every time I did this the revised version was written in a completely different voice) it was a learning moment where the student had the opportunity to think through their thoughts. AI essays really aren’t that good to begin (they are grammatically perfect and look impressive to the untrained eye, but their analysis sucks and they will often provide incorrect information with no citation) with so I could usually give them a bad grade legitimately. It was the most fair method I could think of, but requires knowing your students and putting a lot of effort into feedback, there was a reason I burnt out after 2 years
@@AnUmbreonNamedRaire - Lot of AI detectors cant even tell if something is AI generated or not either. I know this because I've tested a few with roleplaying material which I generated through ChatGPT, I went in and added some extra lines and such as well as some other words. All of the detectors I put it through said that only 2% was AI generated and 98% was human, meaning that it didnt pick it up as such. I even tested them on an indepth character background wrote 20+ years ago and was never put online anywhere and had many of the detectors claim it was 100% AI Generator. Even fed it into ChatGPT and asked if it it was written by AI or not and it came back saying that it was 95% AI generated..

My school hated calling my mom. She did not put up with their bs. 3 occasions that I remember from high school. 1. Debate teacher found a deleted note where I ripped on him because rather than following the rankings on who he picked to go to state as we could only send so many of us who qualified he picked students that were his favorites that were at bottom of 20 possibles to be part the 8 sent. Only 3 the top 10 people went. He tried to get me expelled for it. Didn't happen as my mom wanted to know how following taught procedures by the school for anger can be punished. 2. Teacher ripped me in front the class for having a C- in her class. I called school and filed complaint she tried to get me thrown out her class. Mom went ballistic as she didn't even make allegations she just said she couldn't teach me if I was going to be hostile and file complaints, mind you discussing a students grade in front other students violates our state school board ethic guidelines. 3. I was assaulted by a girl in middle the cafeteria. They wanted to suspend me for a week. I had turned around after being punched in back the head with a fist raisedand lowered my fist and walked away upon seeing it was a girl. She wanted to know if I was being suspended for just raising a fist in self defense what was happening to the girl, she was being given 1 day in school suspension. That caused a nuclear meltdown which ended up involving school board and threats of my mom suing everyone present as they had let me be assaulted did not call the cops or have me checked by nurse.
I've been a Girl Scout Camp counselor briefly and my mom was a Girl Scout Troop leader for 5 years (I was usually the oldest and had to help her herd kittens; it kind of sucked), so I'm familiar with the trials and tribulations of keeping track of kids and I don't think we ever lost anyone, even briefly. The more I think about this Mr Frost character, the more embarrassing of a human being he becomes. The fact that he either literally never noticed, or he noticed and then did nothing. Like, it wasn't even a blip on his radar when he realized that none of the kids had asked him to drop them off at Jon's house? Jon and OP mean so little to him that he didn't feel their lack of presence sooner or later? He never thought, "Oh no, I better turn around to go back for them?" I was 18 and super overwhelmed being a counselor, but I still counted my girls bunches of times in a day. If I left two of them somewhere, it would probably still keep me up at night six years later.
(Elara) LOL. When I taught high school, I would also give 1 point instead of zeros. I said that ones are easier to write. One Karen mother was outraged and said it was "sarcastic" and I needed to change the grade. So, I changed the "1" to a "0". She left looking smug, as if she'd just won some major battle. I just shook my head in bewilderment as she left.
I was in BoyScouts and later became a leader. We did head counts all the time, and each scout was given a number at the start of each trip. We would call out the number, and if someone didn't call out, they weren't there. Never left a single scout behind. Did chew a few out for not telling anyone they went to the trading post, though.
What that teacher did to mess with students using AI is what teachers should have done decades ago. Give students assignments designed to actually get them to use their brain. But then many teachers seem unwilling to do that either
Last story: In high school, for a summer program in the 80s, I had a college professor teaching the science elective (chemistry). He handed out a lab assignment, said to read it and then we could ask any questions about it. Immediately, hands went up (i.e., with no time to actually have read it). He didn't respond, just walked around the room saying "R. E. A. D." So, nerdy socially awkward introvert me *read* the assignment (shocking, I know), found all but one of the chemicals I needed but was stumped as to what "Ag" was - I had never taken chemistry before. I was terrified to raise my hand, but I finally did. He did, in fact, respond, since I had read it, and I walked him through my steps before getting stuck. He gave me a hug. 😄
On the cheating story: I'm a flutist and taught Band for many years. At one of the high schools I assisted, the students were all assigned to make a tape of themselves playing the music our State uses for All-Region, Area, and All-State band competitions. These state wide competitions are a big deal because our yearly music professional conventions showcase the best students in the state. Colleges offer scholarships to the students who make the All-State organizations. Some colleges will even offer professional recordings and tutorials of their music department professors playing and discussing the etudes. Now to the story. We encourage all of our students to try out for All Region Band, the 1st step into making the All-State Band. We take a grade on it. We do an excerpt that starts somewhere in the middle and ends a few measures afterward because we know kids usually start at the beginning and won't practice beyond the first few measures. So I get the tapes, and I'm listening to the flutes, and they are pretty much all over the place when it comes to grades. Some are good, some are godawful. Then I get this tape from a girl in my lowest band, and it's amazing--amazing that she would cheat so blatantly. Remember how I said colleges would put out recordings of the All-State music? Yeah, she just clicked in the middle of the recording (not even where her recording was supposed to start) and clicked off in the middle of a note, causing the sound to dip. And the piece de resistance was that the recording was of MY COLLEGE FLUTE PROFESSOR. I knew that style and tone anywhere! I had arranged to get the recordings to help our kids. The flute player insisted she was the one playing on the tape and got her mother to come in for a meeting. I asked if she could play it live then. She couldn't play then insisted she was nervous. Her mother was mad, but of course, mad that we, the band staff, had embarrassed her daughter. Administration actually backed us up, and the girl received a failing grade.
Phone story - sometimes they’ll rethink their “judgment calls” when they realize what it’ll cost them. Not quite the same … 2005, my apartment was burglarized and my cell was stolen. So I went to the provider to see about getting an upgrade a day later. This was right before providers started offering early upgrades. They didn’t outright say “no”… just that they’d ask the manager. I kinda felt like they wanted to turn me down though. But what I didn’t point out - and maybe the manager noticed? - was that my 2 year contract was going to expire in 3 days. So if they’d denied my request all I’d have to do was wait 3 days and then drop them like a hot potato without any penalty. Surprise surprise they said “yes”. I didn’t even have to fight them on it. 😃
Guys, ChatGPT caught on. I asked it to tell me a story, to see if it would give me the Elara story. But it gave me a story about a girl called Astra who lived in a quiet town at the edge of a wide green sea...

Had a teacher in trade school spring a surprise quiz on us one day. He made sure to emphasize that we read the instructions on the quiz before starting. I had been warned about this ploy from my brother who had taken the same course and the instructions were to "write you name in the top right corner and turn over the page". I did this and me and the teacher looked at each other with knowing grins for the next 15 minutes as everyone else in the class feverishly answered questions.

Oh, gee, are you sure that was Mr. K in the first story and not Ms. Smith? That happened to me in high school too, except that my parents were deceased and my legal guardian lived in another town.

Had to chuckle at the intro. I know I’ll find out what you mean, but I’d rather not mess with any military veteran! Mind you, both my parents were veterans, but A. they were Air Force veterans B. my mom was discharged when she got pregnant after marrying my dad (1950s) and C. my dad served long enough to get retirement benefits for our large family, and while he went to many places… Greenland, Morocco, Guam… his main duty was radio dj for easy listening music! His most exciting military stories, that he told me, anyway, were about why he preferred eating crusts to eating the soft part of the bread (this had to do with eating Moroccan street bread, and tbh you don’t want to know. Let’s just say that any vermin in the flour usually tried to get as far away as possible from the heat before they died) and that he testified at a murder trial on Guam… because witnesses based the time they heard the shot on when the dj signed off at midnight. So he had to testify that he signed off… at midnight. Super dramatic, I know! Still, I was interested to hear it. Point is… even them I didn’t want to set off, if only because they were seasoned by my many older siblings. But anyone who went through basic training successfully has already scored points with me. Then again, so does anyone who has survived working retail or waiting tables.
Chatgpt story In my school they used Saxon math which has the answers to the even numbered problems in the back. This ensured you'd never get below a 50% Now the school went off an honor system, you weren't just supposed to write the answers down you had to show your work for full credit.

He waited a day or two, then put it on crushed rock and drove over it. Busted everything that it looked like someone chewed it up and spat it out. Yep, new phone.

I had a boss like Tom, who did not understand the concept of coming in early to be able to leave early. I got in the office at 7 and left at 15:30. I simply told him that we have flexible work hours and I spend 8 hours + the mandatory 30 minutes lunch break in the office, and I did not want to change. Hw said something about talking to my line manager about it (he was my project manager). Never heard anything about this from anyone. Probably someone explained to him how maths works.

My mom told me a story that taught me to read papers: She and the rest of her class were once given a quiz and sat down to take it. My mom, like the others, started answering the quiz which was full of silly questions such as "what's your favorite food" and "is the moon made of cheese" and such. She was still answering when she noticed that a few of her classmates got up and left fairly quickly, so after the fourth or fifth silly question, she read the rest of the questions without answering them and the last question was "do not answer any questions. Write your name at the top of the paper, hand it in and then leave". That is what my mom did.
My neighbour is a professor and has two PHDs. He was marketing a PHD as the final step before it got approved. The student from overseas (studying in Australia) plagiarised a large section and because my neighbour has a photographic memory he instantly recognised his own work and the book it was published in. This was before good plagiarism software existed so if he hadn't be the final assessor the student probably would have been given the PHD. Over the last 20+ years I've learnt that you're never going to get one past him because he remembers every book, every video, every news article he's ever seen. He also uses a lot of words I don't know and have to come home to look up.
Last story: I'm a big science fiction reader. In 1970, when I was a college senior, an English professor who knew about my love of science fiction, called me into his office and showed me a short story that had been turned in by a student who was normally a poor writer. The story was brilliant, and the professor wanted to know if I could show that it was plagiarized. I read the first page, then told the professor to turn to the last page. I then, without looking at that page, recited the final two sentences of the story. I told the professor the student had copied Isaac Asimov's best known short story "The Last Question:, which built up to those two sentences: "And AC said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light---" Hey, if you're going to plagiarize, steal from the best.

I used to teach at the local college. My son’s elementary school does summative projects that they work on for the year. One student in my son’s year (but not his class) did a project on Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC). My specialty. I go to see all the projects (think science fair but much broader topics). I look up and see a bunch of my presentation slides on a poster. Fortunately, they were properly cited. The girl doing the presentation started talking, and I had to interrupt her. “Um, that’s my work you’re quoting.” It took several back and forths for her to process what I was saying. She had gotten the slides from one of my former students, but hadn’t realized who I was. It was quite fun!
On the scoutmaster story, always verify YOURSELF that you have all of your kids. Don't trust your parent chaperones with roll call. I did once, and we left a kid at the waterpark. We had checked roll at the front of the gate, and somehow, this kid didn't get on the bus. The chaperones had thought that just because we had checked roll five hundred yards away that the kid was automatically on the bus. Argh! Luckily, the kid had a cell phone (just at the beginning when cell phones became ubiquitous) and called his best friend who happened to be sitting right behind me on Bus #1. We had to travel back and pick the kid up--all four school buses. The kid rode back on MY bus sitting next to ME so I could make SURE he got home! And from then on, we checked roll in the classroom, in the bus, going into the waterpark, at lunch in the waterpark, at the end of the day at the waterpark, back on board the buses, as each kid got picked up by his or her parents. My chaperones and I always had a meeting about this from there on out. Never lost a kid.
Classic teacher move: Test with long complicated instructions. First instruction is "Read all instructions before beginning the test." The last instruction says "Ignore all the previous instructions and the test questions. Sign your name and hand it in, and you get an A." 😈
Kids not reading instruction is definitely real. I had a teacher who periodically for his weekly test put in the test instructions "write your name on the top right corner. Sit for at least 10 minutes before you turn in the test. If anything is written on the paper other than your name, you get a 0." Me and one other kid got it the first time. Only took 2 more before everyone was reading instructions on everything.
I was an asshole as a kid, worst in highschool, I was also taking Marine corps JROTC and the lieutenant colonel teaching the class was one of the ONLY teachers I respected. My mom called him ONCE cause I was refusing to even get up for school, that man had me at FULL ATTENTION on the phone and every time I got in ANY trouble he'd just appear to scare the attitude right out of me.

lol is anyone else bothered that the IT OP somehow can't do math. 6:30 - 4:30 is 10 hrs, he worked a 10 hr shift but kept calling it 9, then he said he was gonna stop working overtime and only do 8, but if he's leaving at 3:30 then he's still working a 9 hr shift so he's still working overtime
@historiclift27 Fair, I'm just the type to include lunch as part of my shift even if I don't get paid, because I'm gonna be in or near the building for the full 10 hrs, so even if I'm only on the clock for 9 I'm still gonna say I worked a 10 hr shift
How my wife deals with AI cheaters it's pretty easy. Ask them to define a word they wouldn't use if they use it the prompt. Works every time. Why did you use this word if you don't know what it means?
Before the rise of AI when we hadn't even dreamt about something remotely like Chat GPT, I wrote an essay for my English class and used words like "audacity", "Cornucopia" and "mellifluous". I live in a country where English is one of the two official languages, but barely more than half the population can boast to having a tenth grade level understanding. This was in college. Teacher demanded to know in front of the entire class how it is I know such "bombastic words", precisely what she called them. just stared at her and went, "I read a book." "All of these words in one book? And you understood them?" I read many books. I also have a dictionary. I never need my dictionary. Inferring from context is highly possible and very effective unless you are a stupid person." Needless to say I was not a very humble 16 year old. But I could boast to not being a stupid one.
Story 5 is refreshing. I've had a few ridiculous people getting pissy because I came into work later than them and they assumed I left just after they did. Nope, I usually did longer days than them and their brains couldn't fathom the fact that me and the rest of the later crowd also had to take it on trust they were coming in at 6 and not just before we arrived. Thing is, the boss didn't care. We all got our work done, so it didn't matter. (This was back in the days when I looked for extra jobs, thinking it would get me promoted. Spoiler alert, it didn't)

For the cell phone story. Early 2000's I had a Razer flip phone when they were all the rage through centinnal wireless before they were bought out by A&T. They were POS's, every month something broke and I had to get a replacement. Screen cracked, screen wouldn't light up, and twice it even made a popping noise when I went to pick up a call and it want to a black screen and a little smoke came out of it. One time I stop at a store to get it replaced as the screen was cracked. They wouldn't replace it as it was not "broken enough". In front of them I spiked it on the ground and shattered it, then they replaced it because it was "broken enough". Idiots. One year of this an they upgraded me to a better phone at no cost as I was killing their overhead. Best $3.96 a month of insurance I ever spent.

Re 1st Story: My freshman year of high school I had a biology teacher who was just... odd. He was the in charge of the school's Adventure Club, basically long hikes, cliff climbing, and nature stuff. I couldn't join, you had to be a sophomore, but he would allow freshmen in his classes to tag along. I went on a hike with them to the bottom of the Hoover Dam (the high school is in Henderson, NV) and the group was like 30 total. The hike down was fine. The hike back, in 110°F of the Arizona desert wasn't as great. A lot of us ran out of water on the two hour return trip, I got heat stroke. But worse was two kids were missing when we got to the pick up point.
My teacher pulled a ham radio out of his pack, called the ranger station and informed them of the issue, then told the drivers to get the rest of us home. That was when I found out this goofy biology teacher was also a former park ranger. He refilled his canteen and went right back out.
The two lost students were found and brought home with little more than dehydration and sunburn.
He was weird, really weird, but he'd be damned if he lost a kid.
I'm just embarrassed on the behalf of Mr Frost that he either literally never noticed or he noticed and then did nothing. Like, it wasn't even a blip on his radar when he realized that none of the kids had asked him to drop them off at Jon's house? Jon and OP mean so little to him that he didn't feel their lack of presents sooner or later? He never realized and turned around to go back for them?
I think that the mistake your teacher made was human and he rectified it immediately by turning around to go back to get the two kids.
@ArcanineEspeon part of our problem was we were broken into about 4 smaller groups and spread out over about half a mile. Different experience and fitness levels. My group was towards the back because we all stopped to let me recover in a drainage culvert. But I have nothing but find memories of that intensely weird man.
Biology teachers are ALWAYS weird and usually the good kinda weird.
We had a teacher who had some weird questions the first day and opened up with "Yes I was on TV, if all of you pass your exams we'll do a day talking about it at the end of the year-- please just wait til then"
Turns out he got LOST IN THE AMAZON and was on I Survived. We had a lockdown one day as everyone was leaving for busses/pickup and he took the time to fish kids outta the hallway before putting all of us back in his storage cupboard while manning the door with a fire extinguisher as a weapon. 10/10 teacher, never felt safer than in his class.
He also jumped on his desk and shouted "Mitochondria in the powerhouse of the cell" which is a core memory.
@@ashsuna7774 I love that! ❤️
that is a hell of a teacher and a good one for such a role.
Bathroom story: 🤣 Dude released a pressure valve!!! That secretary needs to grow up. People excrete substances from their bodies, liquid, solid and gasses and have since the beginning of the species. What's offensive.
I would be more concerned about making employees turn on and waste the water because someone is offended over a natural bodily function, such as taking a leak.
At 67 years old, disabled with many health problems, I can say that a good long fart is one of life's truly great pleasures. 😅
if i was the manager, i'd be more concerned about the employees who are focusing on someone in the bathroom over anything else. talk about a perverted action.
I've heard this one before; it's been theorized that the secretary just wanted the bathroom to herself and was harassing people with complaints to that end.
God as a teacher I hate teachers who treat students failing as a badge of honor. It’s a reflection on how shitty you are as a teacher.
Like, your job is to pass students, so why are you so proud of failing them? All this tells everybody, including your bosses, is that you're a terrible teacher and you shouldn't be teaching impressionable young kids...
Have a good day
Okay, your job is to teach students, but if you're constantly failing them, it just means you're awful so my point remains.
Yes, it is the nobody gets an A on my tests teachers that annoy me or they knock points off for the most ridiculous reasons - you wrote in black ink not blue, your tie is not properly done up.
If they were bragging about a 30% pass rate ya that’s awful and means you’re bad at your job. The AI story isn’t oh look at me my class is so tough it kids cheating the system by failing them now the worst the get is a bad mark and maybe fail a class that costs them nothing. If they try that at a collage level and get caught they risk getting kicked out due to misconduct or something like that.
This is not really a major story, but one time at an outdoor bazaar I saw a middle aged veteran wearing a Gulf War army veteran baseball cap at a sticker table. The proprietor lady, completely out of nowhere says she has the right to refuse servicr to anyone, including muderers and oil profiteers such as him.
He took it completely in stride and walked away. Only a couple of minutes later and completely unrelated to him, the management of the lot where the swap meet took place confronted her about why she wasnt displaying her peddlers' license whixh was required of all kiosks and stalls.
Turns out she didn't pay it for over two months and was illegally squat-selling, so now she's banned.
A couple other unpaid stalls from orher sellers also got shut down so it's not like she was being personally targeted.
Still, good for her. I hope army guy got stickers from a store that actually values his business.
Oops.

That Elara story reminds me of a story my dad told me. He had a teacher who handed out a quiz where the first instruction was to just sign your name and turn in the paper for full credit. My dad was the only one to follow the instruction, while the rest of the class ended up taking the full quiz.
I used to do a similar thing, I would give a out a test with the first instruction to first read all questions carefully before starting. The test started fairly normally before becoming more and more strange as it got towards the end of the test (Which is heavier 1kg feather or 1kg lead? - How long does it take to dig half a hole? Put your left shoe on the table etc). The last question said - Now you have read all the questions write your name at the top of the paper in the space provided and put your pencil down. There were many students who got to the very end before they realized they had been had.
@@36ydna That's awesome. 😂
A lot of people skimp in school. Sometimes I understand it, but most of the time it's laziness. People really need to avoid AI though. I'm in grad school. There are graduate students using AI for their work, too. People really need to learn that AI is super detectable, especially now that it's been out for a while. Humans are really good at pattern recognition, and AI has all the same patterns. Every model out there winds up doing almost the same things because it's all trained on the same material. There are words, phrases, and names it likes to use. Also, natural human writing is unique to the author. We all have the same dictionary and grammar, but how we each use it is different. Your writing style is like a thumbprint. But when you use AI, you don't have your own style. You're using a synethic thumbprint that doesn't quite sound human and is identical to the other multitude of users who decided to get AI to write for them. So, not only are patterns recognizable, readers wind up getting that lizard brain tickle of uncanny valley when they read AI content, because it all has that same robotic thumbprint.
When I was in college we had an assignment for a collection of stories. The book was less than 100 pages and had 11 stories. All we had to do was focus on any of the 11 and creative write. Mine was about a woman from that time period coming forward 100 years and getting culture shock. Some students did a "what happened next" type story, one took the story into the modern day, and two went to a certain bookselling website and copied word-for-word the blurb for the book(which they could have done with less effort if they just wrote what was on the back of the book). The teacher gave them a choice, drop the class or be expelled.
I'm a teacher, and that thing BRUHs me up every time.
I have two rules. "I can't tell you to can it. You're kids, you won't do it and I don't have that will or energy. Two things. One, check yourself for sound and content. I want no insult nor shouting. Two, not when I talk because I get these teenage cracking voices throwing 'idk what to do I don't understand' after I explained what you can't even read on the paper."
My dad actually had a very similar experience to the story told by the commentor on the last story. He has a degree in computer science, and teaches programming classes. He is well aware that there are places where you can buy and sell other works to students who want to cheat, and apparently, some of his own programs were on those sites. He found this out when he gave a basic programming assignment to his class, and one student turned in a program that my dad wrote (And has used as a teaching example), passing it off as his own. He kept insisting that it was original when my dad gave him a couple chances to fess up, so my dad shut down his whining by saying "I know you plagiarized this because I WROTE IT. And because you refused to be truthful when I gave you a chance to, I will not only give you a failing grade, but also report your actions to the department head and dean." Pretty sure the dude got expelled.
That's what one of my programming teachers told me about one of his students. His uncle wrote code for him and he kept turning it in.
I never understand those phone reps that go: "Nope, sorry, rules are rules!"
I work in a field where I'm also regulated by strict rules and guidelines, and my go-to response to those situations is, at *worst*: "I'm not able to do that, but I'll get you the information for someone with more authority than me that might be able to make an exception."
Because those *are* the rules, for better or worse, and they don't have the authority to override them.
@ For sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t non-snarkily direct them to someone WITH that higher authority.
@@ColArana I suspect, in many cases, it's not 'snark', its that every escalation to a manager is a ding on their performance review and thus a threat to their job.

As a 14yo about to be in Year 11 (NZ school system, birthday mid-school year and skipped a year), I am genuinely terrified of the day when a teacher claims I used AI to write an assignment. I developed a writing style based mostly on Russian literature for sentence structure, and relatively old English books for vocabulary. Some of what I write ends up giving off the appearance of text written by AI and slightly edited by a human to make it believable. So, I am spreading the word.

I am not a naval officer or any other kind of military officer, but I trained as a civilian ship's officer for the merchant marine and got some basic leadership training as a part of that from Navy and Marine Corp officers and NCOs and one of the most basic things was to always know how many people you were responsible for, where they were, how to contact them, what they were supposed to be doing etc. A huge reason for this was so we wouldn't leave anyone behind in a fire or abandon ship scenario.

In my college days, two seniors got caught cheating. Stupid thing was, the assignment was read a 4 page article and write one page ish (handwritten) opinion on the article. Two seniors had copied the same online paper, which included the original author's own stories. 🙄 The irony is that the class was "philosophy of moral issues" 😂
In regards to the first story, I've got my own story to it as well. Not really a Malicious Compliance, but a sign of how you do not mess with the kids of vets.
In 7th grade, my Geography teacher was...well he wasn't exactly the best. This guy would randomly punish me for doing even slightly minor things and would constantly make me sit in detention in his class. This was like an every other week thing, and when I told my parents each reason, sometimes they figured I deserved it for being disruptive, but other times they were just confused about what was going on. Both my parents are former military, and my dad served in Vietnam, but my mom was just as much of a fighter as well. One day, when she knew I was in detention, she went to the principal (who had a slight military background and worked with veterans before he became a principal) and TOLD him, not asked him, to come with her to the classroom I was in. She marched down to my Geography teacher's class, barged into the room, and told me that we were leaving. When my teacher tried to stop her, she looked him right in the eye and told him to sit down, shut up, and leave me alone unless it was for actual class. When my teacher asked the principal if that was allowed, the principal merely said "If there's one type of parent you don't mess with, it's a military parent". I never got detention from that teacher again while I was in his class, though that year wasn't exactly great for me considering how I had a mental break down in school.
I used to be an English teacher, the best way to catch someone using chat gpt writing is just to criticize the hell out of it and give it a failing grade, when you are conferencing with students or after grades are posted many will ask why they are getting a failing grade and ask to redo. Grant the redo and they usually do it themselves
The downside is from what I've seen, a lot of AI "detectors" often unfairly target neurodivergent students. Imo the best way to combat AI use is to get students to do it for an essay...and then prove how completely wrong it is. Unfortunately some institutions recommend you use AI now... it's icky
@ that’s why you assign a paper timed write as the first assignment to gauge writing styles. Also everything I would comment on with the AI paper would be true so even if they wrote it (which since I knew the style of my students writing, I could tell), they would just end up with an A paper. I actually had very little issue with it with neurodivergent students because I would check in with my students (especially the diverse learners) throughout the writing process and could tell that the ideas where their own by how well they understood them. If a student when conferencing had an overly grammatical perfect, but poorly analyzed and weirdly laid out paper with no outline to be found and cannot answer questions about their analysis or expand upon the ideas, it is a safe bet that it is AI. Like I would point to a weak piece of analysis and ask a student questions about it, if it was AI, they wouldn’t be able to tell me anything more than what was written, if it was actually their thought, they could explain the reasoning. What I liked about my method, is that it was non punitive because they could revise without penalty and was a teaching moment. Even if I miss flagged something (which I don’t believe I ever did because every time I did this the revised version was written in a completely different voice) it was a learning moment where the student had the opportunity to think through their thoughts. AI essays really aren’t that good to begin (they are grammatically perfect and look impressive to the untrained eye, but their analysis sucks and they will often provide incorrect information with no citation) with so I could usually give them a bad grade legitimately. It was the most fair method I could think of, but requires knowing your students and putting a lot of effort into feedback, there was a reason I burnt out after 2 years

My school hated calling my mom. She did not put up with their bs. 3 occasions that I remember from high school.
1. Debate teacher found a deleted note where I ripped on him because rather than following the rankings on who he picked to go to state as we could only send so many of us who qualified he picked students that were his favorites that were at bottom of 20 possibles to be part the 8 sent. Only 3 the top 10 people went. He tried to get me expelled for it. Didn't happen as my mom wanted to know how following taught procedures by the school for anger can be punished.
2. Teacher ripped me in front the class for having a C- in her class. I called school and filed complaint she tried to get me thrown out her class. Mom went ballistic as she didn't even make allegations she just said she couldn't teach me if I was going to be hostile and file complaints, mind you discussing a students grade in front other students violates our state school board ethic guidelines.
3. I was assaulted by a girl in middle the cafeteria. They wanted to suspend me for a week. I had turned around after being punched in back the head with a fist raisedand lowered my fist and walked away upon seeing it was a girl. She wanted to know if I was being suspended for just raising a fist in self defense what was happening to the girl, she was being given 1 day in school suspension. That caused a nuclear meltdown which ended up involving school board and threats of my mom suing everyone present as they had let me be assaulted did not call the cops or have me checked by nurse.
I've been a Girl Scout Camp counselor briefly and my mom was a Girl Scout Troop leader for 5 years (I was usually the oldest and had to help her herd kittens; it kind of sucked), so I'm familiar with the trials and tribulations of keeping track of kids and I don't think we ever lost anyone, even briefly.
The more I think about this Mr Frost character, the more embarrassing of a human being he becomes. The fact that he either literally never noticed, or he noticed and then did nothing. Like, it wasn't even a blip on his radar when he realized that none of the kids had asked him to drop them off at Jon's house? Jon and OP mean so little to him that he didn't feel their lack of presence sooner or later? He never thought, "Oh no, I better turn around to go back for them?" I was 18 and super overwhelmed being a counselor, but I still counted my girls bunches of times in a day. If I left two of them somewhere, it would probably still keep me up at night six years later.
(Elara) LOL. When I taught high school, I would also give 1 point instead of zeros. I said that ones are easier to write. One Karen mother was outraged and said it was "sarcastic" and I needed to change the grade. So, I changed the "1" to a "0". She left looking smug, as if she'd just won some major battle. I just shook my head in bewilderment as she left.
I was in BoyScouts and later became a leader. We did head counts all the time, and each scout was given a number at the start of each trip. We would call out the number, and if someone didn't call out, they weren't there.
Never left a single scout behind. Did chew a few out for not telling anyone they went to the trading post, though.
...except when #4 calls out "here!" for #13, just to be a nass wipe, when #13 is off galavanting somewhere.

Give students assignments designed to actually get them to use their brain.
But then many teachers seem unwilling to do that either
Last story: In high school, for a summer program in the 80s, I had a college professor teaching the science elective (chemistry). He handed out a lab assignment, said to read it and then we could ask any questions about it. Immediately, hands went up (i.e., with no time to actually have read it). He didn't respond, just walked around the room saying "R. E. A. D." So, nerdy socially awkward introvert me *read* the assignment (shocking, I know), found all but one of the chemicals I needed but was stumped as to what "Ag" was - I had never taken chemistry before. I was terrified to raise my hand, but I finally did. He did, in fact, respond, since I had read it, and I walked him through my steps before getting stuck.
He gave me a hug. 😄

On the cheating story: I'm a flutist and taught Band for many years. At one of the high schools I assisted, the students were all assigned to make a tape of themselves playing the music our State uses for All-Region, Area, and All-State band competitions. These state wide competitions are a big deal because our yearly music professional conventions showcase the best students in the state. Colleges offer scholarships to the students who make the All-State organizations. Some colleges will even offer professional recordings and tutorials of their music department professors playing and discussing the etudes. Now to the story.
We encourage all of our students to try out for All Region Band, the 1st step into making the All-State Band. We take a grade on it. We do an excerpt that starts somewhere in the middle and ends a few measures afterward because we know kids usually start at the beginning and won't practice beyond the first few measures.
So I get the tapes, and I'm listening to the flutes, and they are pretty much all over the place when it comes to grades. Some are good, some are godawful. Then I get this tape from a girl in my lowest band, and it's amazing--amazing that she would cheat so blatantly.
Remember how I said colleges would put out recordings of the All-State music? Yeah, she just clicked in the middle of the recording (not even where her recording was supposed to start) and clicked off in the middle of a note, causing the sound to dip. And the piece de resistance was that the recording was of MY COLLEGE FLUTE PROFESSOR. I knew that style and tone anywhere! I had arranged to get the recordings to help our kids.
The flute player insisted she was the one playing on the tape and got her mother to come in for a meeting. I asked if she could play it live then. She couldn't play then insisted she was nervous. Her mother was mad, but of course, mad that we, the band staff, had embarrassed her daughter. Administration actually backed us up, and the girl received a failing grade.
Phone story - sometimes they’ll rethink their “judgment calls” when they realize what it’ll cost them.
Not quite the same … 2005, my apartment was burglarized and my cell was stolen. So I went to the provider to see about getting an upgrade a day later. This was right before providers started offering early upgrades.
They didn’t outright say “no”… just that they’d ask the manager. I kinda felt like they wanted to turn me down though.
But what I didn’t point out - and maybe the manager noticed? - was that my 2 year contract was going to expire in 3 days. So if they’d denied my request all I’d have to do was wait 3 days and then drop them like a hot potato without any penalty.
Surprise surprise they said “yes”. I didn’t even have to fight them on it. 😃
Guys, ChatGPT caught on.
I asked it to tell me a story, to see if it would give me the Elara story.
But it gave me a story about a girl called Astra who lived in a quiet town at the edge of a wide green sea...
Mine was this: One cold, moonlit night, a young wanderer named Kael arrived at the edge of the forest. 😂 Chat gpt 1st asked this: Sure! What kind of story would you like? Adventure, fantasy, mystery, or something else entirely? Let me know, and I’ll craft something for you!
I got the one about the lantern keeper.
And then I asked for another and got the clockmaker's apprentice.
The third was The Whispering Well.
I think it's learning to avoid pedantic English teachers :D
0:10 was his first name John? 👀
Funny 😂
HA! Typical army Parent 😄
With you: I love you honey! Don’t mess up again, I forgive you!
To anyone else: *Raw fire and brimstone reaming While not raising their voice above a whisper that would make even a pissed off Honey Badger run away and hide*
If those students are anything like me then I 100% do not blame them for trying to cheat I mean how else are they supposed to do English assignments?
Telling me to do an English assignment was like walking up to a blender and telling it to mow the lawn.
Hey, my name is Elora. How did they know I lived in the woods 🤔
On the phone repair story. Best way to put it is he gave them the ultimatum of replacing a popped tire vs replacing an entire new car
Had a teacher in trade school spring a surprise quiz on us one day. He made sure to emphasize that we read the instructions on the quiz before starting. I had been warned about this ploy from my brother who had taken the same course and the instructions were to "write you name in the top right corner and turn over the page". I did this and me and the teacher looked at each other with knowing grins for the next 15 minutes as everyone else in the class feverishly answered questions.
I love it when I actively do research for something, build a plan to prevent a thing with said research and bring it to a superior.
Superior did no research and says they know more than me.
Time passes and what I told the boss would happen happens.
I laugh and point at stupid since I left months prior with my plans.
I love watching Malicious Compliance in the morning ❤❤❤
Story 4 plot twist: the fart gods wanted to help OP get back at Amanda, so they blessed OP with a loud party popper of a massive FART 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She should complain to the building management people that have the bathroom soundproof or something put on the inside of her cubicle or something to make it less noisy.
15:12 Not anymore...
To quote my grandfather "it is the duty of adults To prevent children from suffering the consequences of their actions" His logic wasn't children shouldn't have consequences it is that it is the duty of adults to make sure that children don't suffer because of their Dumb actions because kids are stupid, They are going to do dumb things And it is the duty of adults to make Share that No permanent damage is done
It took me way too long to realize why he kept calling the Scout Master " Mr. Frost " in the Boy Scouts story 😂
Oh, gee, are you sure that was Mr. K in the first story and not Ms. Smith? That happened to me in high school too, except that my parents were deceased and my legal guardian lived in another town. Despite my A in the class and my special circumstances, I still had to serve detention for not getting it signed. No repercussions for Ms. Smith, though.
Had to chuckle at the intro. I know I’ll find out what you mean, but I’d rather not mess with any military veteran!
Mind you, both my parents were veterans, but A. they were Air Force veterans B. my mom was discharged when she got pregnant after marrying my dad (1950s) and C. my dad served long enough to get retirement benefits for our large family, and while he went to many places… Greenland, Morocco, Guam… his main duty was radio dj for easy listening music! His most exciting military stories, that he told me, anyway, were about why he preferred eating crusts to eating the soft part of the bread (this had to do with eating Moroccan street bread, and tbh you don’t want to know. Let’s just say that any vermin in the flour usually tried to get as far away as possible from the heat before they died) and that he testified at a murder trial on Guam… because witnesses based the time they heard the shot on when the dj signed off at midnight. So he had to testify that he signed off… at midnight. Super dramatic, I know! Still, I was interested to hear it.
Point is… even them I didn’t want to set off, if only because they were seasoned by my many older siblings. But anyone who went through basic training successfully has already scored points with me. Then again, so does anyone who has survived working retail or waiting tables.
If R slash Only Made R/maliciouscompliance videos I would not complain.

Chatgpt story
In my school they used Saxon math which has the answers to the even numbered problems in the back. This ensured you'd never get below a 50%
Now the school went off an honor system, you weren't just supposed to write the answers down you had to show your work for full credit. One year my friend just wrote them all down and was caught so couldn't go on a field trip that year
6:23 honestly I assumed OP would intentionally drown their phone
Ohhh, phone insurance plans... ☠☠☠
A bud had something go wrong with his phone, forgot exactly what. "Exclusions"... they didn't want to pay out for a repair. He looked at the policy, noting exclusions as well as explicit coverage. Again, been ages, forgot details, but irreparable physical damage would net him a whole new phone. He waited a day or two, then put it on crushed rock and drove over it. Busted everything that it looked like someone chewed it up and spat it out. Yep, new phone.
I'm also a high school English teacher, and today I used ChatGPT to write a short story that included all the steps of the hero's journey. Elara was the name of the main character.
in undergrad we had a classmate infamous for cheating. the professors knew. not sure how she coasted through. anyway, while waiting to enter the room for our engineering _ethics_ exam, she snuck in and wrote notes onto a desk. I really have no idea how she wasn't expelled for many offenses.
I had a boss like Tom, who did not understand the concept of coming in early to be able to leave early.
I got in the office at 7 and left at 15:30.
I simply told him that we have flexible work hours and I spend 8 hours + the mandatory 30 minutes lunch break in the office, and I did not want to change.
Hw said something about talking to my line manager about it (he was my project manager). Never heard anything about this from anyone. Probably someone explained to him how maths works.
As the son of a career military office, allow me to say that no one can have you in greater fear for your future wellbeing than an angry superior officer. I don't know if there's some course they take to perfect "the look", but that look could melt steel. And you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of it.
XD 2nd story, bear papa showed his claws, good on him... safety first
My mom told me a story that taught me to read papers: She and the rest of her class were once given a quiz and sat down to take it. My mom, like the others, started answering the quiz which was full of silly questions such as "what's your favorite food" and "is the moon made of cheese" and such. She was still answering when she noticed that a few of her classmates got up and left fairly quickly, so after the fourth or fifth silly question, she read the rest of the questions without answering them and the last question was "do not answer any questions. Write your name at the top of the paper, hand it in and then leave". That is what my mom did.
My neighbour is a professor and has two PHDs. He was marketing a PHD as the final step before it got approved. The student from overseas (studying in Australia) plagiarised a large section and because my neighbour has a photographic memory he instantly recognised his own work and the book it was published in. This was before good plagiarism software existed so if he hadn't be the final assessor the student probably would have been given the PHD.
Over the last 20+ years I've learnt that you're never going to get one past him because he remembers every book, every video, every news article he's ever seen. He also uses a lot of words I don't know and have to come home to look up.
Last story: I'm a big science fiction reader. In 1970, when I was a college senior, an English professor who knew about my love of science fiction, called me into his office and showed me a short story that had been turned in by a student who was normally a poor writer. The story was brilliant, and the professor wanted to know if I could show that it was plagiarized. I read the first page, then told the professor to turn to the last page. I then, without looking at that page, recited the final two sentences of the story. I told the professor the student had copied Isaac Asimov's best known short story "The Last Question:, which built up to those two sentences: "And AC said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light---" Hey, if you're going to plagiarize, steal from the best.
On story three I thought the dude was going to mid call punch the phone and then report there being new damage
"Mr. Krabs" would've been hilarious lol
6:30 that was exactly where I thought it was going, too.
Am I the only one heard "Blue Ridge Mountains" and was promptly triggered into singing Take Me Home, Country Roads?
4th Story: If I was that manager, I would've simply swapped the washroom roles. There you go Karen, you won't hear anyone pissing again.
Story 5: I'd have just not gone to the meeting. Sure, they require you to be there, but you have a ton of evidence that you've been trying to book this hotel and everyone's been ignoring you and making you wait, preventing you from being there. Just tell them you got the message and were waiting for their approval. It's not your fault if they refused to look at it until after it was too late, you weren't allowed to book a room without their approval!
Story 1: my father would have done a similar thing (my dad wasn’t in the survise his father was so it was ingrained in him) so i don’t blame ops mom and the comments story my dad would say learn this lesson and i would have said the same
Story 2: I understand rules are rules but yike this is stupid glad it got fixed
Story 3: that’s a stupid rule and that’s great comeback
Story 4: ok that’s crazy and that must make things crazy
He should purposely not have the test signed, and go to school with a phone and start calling with speaker on.
I used to teach at the local college. My son’s elementary school does summative projects that they work on for the year. One student in my son’s year (but not his class) did a project on Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC). My specialty. I go to see all the projects (think science fair but much broader topics). I look up and see a bunch of my presentation slides on a poster. Fortunately, they were properly cited. The girl doing the presentation started talking, and I had to interrupt her. “Um, that’s my work you’re quoting.” It took several back and forths for her to process what I was saying. She had gotten the slides from one of my former students, but hadn’t realized who I was. It was quite fun!
i miss malicious compliance stories
On the scoutmaster story, always verify YOURSELF that you have all of your kids. Don't trust your parent chaperones with roll call. I did once, and we left a kid at the waterpark. We had checked roll at the front of the gate, and somehow, this kid didn't get on the bus. The chaperones had thought that just because we had checked roll five hundred yards away that the kid was automatically on the bus. Argh! Luckily, the kid had a cell phone (just at the beginning when cell phones became ubiquitous) and called his best friend who happened to be sitting right behind me on Bus #1. We had to travel back and pick the kid up--all four school buses. The kid rode back on MY bus sitting next to ME so I could make SURE he got home! And from then on, we checked roll in the classroom, in the bus, going into the waterpark, at lunch in the waterpark, at the end of the day at the waterpark, back on board the buses, as each kid got picked up by his or her parents. My chaperones and I always had a meeting about this from there on out. Never lost a kid.
Classic teacher move: Test with long complicated instructions. First instruction is "Read all instructions before beginning the test." The last instruction says "Ignore all the previous instructions and the test questions. Sign your name and hand it in, and you get an A." 😈
Kids not reading instruction is definitely real. I had a teacher who periodically for his weekly test put in the test instructions "write your name on the top right corner. Sit for at least 10 minutes before you turn in the test. If anything is written on the paper other than your name, you get a 0."
Me and one other kid got it the first time. Only took 2 more before everyone was reading instructions on everything.
I was an asshole as a kid, worst in highschool, I was also taking Marine corps JROTC and the lieutenant colonel teaching the class was one of the ONLY teachers I respected. My mom called him ONCE cause I was refusing to even get up for school, that man had me at FULL ATTENTION on the phone and every time I got in ANY trouble he'd just appear to scare the attitude right out of me.
The teacher story: the teacher is the lazy one to start with
Malicious compliance:
Find all "Elara" in the story, and replace with some other name 🤓
You always know when RSlash posts his “day off” video (video uploaded on his days off) because its stories I’ve heard on other channels WEEKS ago. So enjoy your time off, RSlash! 😊
lol is anyone else bothered that the IT OP somehow can't do math. 6:30 - 4:30 is 10 hrs, he worked a 10 hr shift but kept calling it 9, then he said he was gonna stop working overtime and only do 8, but if he's leaving at 3:30 then he's still working a 9 hr shift so he's still working overtime
Not necessarily probably has 30 mins to an hour lunch. I myself am at work 9 hours but only work 8 due to an hour lunch break.
@historiclift27 Fair, I'm just the type to include lunch as part of my shift even if I don't get paid, because I'm gonna be in or near the building for the full 10 hrs, so even if I'm only on the clock for 9 I'm still gonna say I worked a 10 hr shift
How my wife deals with AI cheaters it's pretty easy. Ask them to define a word they wouldn't use if they use it the prompt. Works every time. Why did you use this word if you don't know what it means?
Before the rise of AI when we hadn't even dreamt about something remotely like Chat GPT, I wrote an essay for my English class and used words like "audacity", "Cornucopia" and "mellifluous". I live in a country where English is one of the two official languages, but barely more than half the population can boast to having a tenth grade level understanding. This was in college.
Teacher demanded to know in front of the entire class how it is I know such "bombastic words", precisely what she called them. just stared at her and went, "I read a book."
"All of these words in one book? And you understood them?"
I read many books. I also have a dictionary. I never need my dictionary. Inferring from context is highly possible and very effective unless you are a stupid person."
Needless to say I was not a very humble 16 year old. But I could boast to not being a stupid one.
@Mariamunro95 she teaches in a place that 75% of high schoolers can't read on a 3rd grade level. It sticks out pretty hard there.
Story 5 is refreshing. I've had a few ridiculous people getting pissy because I came into work later than them and they assumed I left just after they did. Nope, I usually did longer days than them and their brains couldn't fathom the fact that me and the rest of the later crowd also had to take it on trust they were coming in at 6 and not just before we arrived. Thing is, the boss didn't care. We all got our work done, so it didn't matter. (This was back in the days when I looked for extra jobs, thinking it would get me promoted. Spoiler alert, it didn't)
I hope that everyone is having a good Tuesday!
I hope you’re having a good week!
The f was that first story teacher: call your parent because you didn't get them to sign something you shouldn't need them to sign seriously what was that teacher thinking
For context, a navy captain is the equivalent of an army colonel.
what the hell omg the part about "tell me a story" always writing a story about Elara living in the woods is actually true, it worked for me first try. go try it yourself
Heard a story of my University professor finding someone wanting to hire on as a Uni lecturer and was passing off my professor's work as their own. As she was teaching a course in a rather niche industry the plagiarizer got blacklisted.
This is why cadets dont lose anyone bc we number.
Two minutes - a record for getting notifs, damn.
I missed maliciouscompliance, glad to see it back!
14:31
I use gpt for cleaning up my fics, cause i write good. But its not readable much. But i dont use it as a "write for me" i use it as, basically a better grammerly.
Three important lessons: Never mess with the IT guy, a veteran or a Vietnamese woman.
I wonder when RSlash gonna say “Our next Reddit post is from our next Reddit post is from…”, if not on April 1st ;P
I saw an RSlash listener in the wild today while I was working my job in the Drive-Thru LOL
Whatever Admin pushed the Purchase Order system should have been fired. Especially considering they cost the company a bunch of money, and they should have just addressed it as soon as possible, not sit on it. Also, offset schedule day, Tom is a muppet.
the single time i have used an ai for anything in regard to university was for a course where we was suposed to use it for something specific in regard to a ia related game where you wrote a direction you would walk in and the bot would tell you some information about a imagtiend world then repeate etc. was some special things you could discover etc for instance. i have never in 8 years at uni asked a ai/bot to writh anything for me or find any sources for me, (they have a tendensy to invent sources that dont exist)
For the cell phone story. Early 2000's I had a Razer flip phone when they were all the rage through centinnal wireless before they were bought out by A&T. They were POS's, every month something broke and I had to get a replacement. Screen cracked, screen wouldn't light up, and twice it even made a popping noise when I went to pick up a call and it want to a black screen and a little smoke came out of it. One time I stop at a store to get it replaced as the screen was cracked. They wouldn't replace it as it was not "broken enough". In front of them I spiked it on the ground and shattered it, then they replaced it because it was "broken enough". Idiots. One year of this an they upgraded me to a better phone at no cost as I was killing their overhead. Best $3.96 a month of insurance I ever spent.
