3:55
i do fight but very dirty story two the senior project
4:02
standoff have you ever been told to do something completely pointless with an equally pointless threat if you don't
4:08
comply our next story takes us back to high school where a transfer student found himself in a battle of wills over
4:15
a stupid senior project our storyteller let's call him Alex transferred schools
4:20
midyear missing out on AP classes and their mandatory summer projects then
4:25
came the dreaded senior project tied to some acronym like impact representing the school's values the kicker if you
4:34
did not do it you could not walk at graduation alex having just arrived found the whole thing ridiculous the
4:40
acronym meant nothing to him when he voiced his concern the response was a dismissive "Figure something out or
4:47
don't walk." He checked with his dad who did not care if he walked or not so he
4:52
decided not doing it simple right oh if only the school administration was
4:59
obsessed with this project first a check-in where he calmly stated he was not doing it confusion from the staff
5:07
then a pull out of class meeting with the vice principal Ms jenkins who thought he just misunderstood he
5:13
corrected her explaining he understood perfectly he just thought it was stupid and was fine with the penalty more
5:19
confusion the best part the school tried to strongarm him by calling his mom
5:25
"your mom really wants you to walk," they said alex's response a dead pan um
5:32
I live with my dad miss Jenkins's face described as a dialup tone was priceless
5:38
this crossing of the line especially using a parent he was no contact with solidified his resolve
5:45
f the project f the school f the weird tactics he thought but why did they care
5:51
so much about one student not doing an optional assignment the principal Mr thompson a superficial
5:58
overly friendly type tried to offer a modified project just one letter of the
6:03
acronym alex's answer still no mr thompson's smile faded then came the
6:10
silence as the principal tried to formulate an argument while Alex made the iconic Jim Halpert face the context
6:17
eventually came out the principal was set to switch schools and had a grand plan to leave with 100% participation in
6:25
the senior projects even though they did not affect final grades he was using the threat of not walking
6:32
at graduation to bully everyone into compliance almost everyone Alex stuck to
6:37
his guns and after the deadline passed the school proudly announced 99.6%
6:43
participation they were hoping for 100% but Alex was that stubborn 0.4% 4% the
6:50
absolute dumbest part despite his refusal they still offered him five tickets to walk at graduation he laughed
6:57
walked out without the tickets and did not attend his own graduation a true legend of defiance

knew better than the experts only for it to spectacularly backfire

our storyteller an IT professional worked for an IT company that managed servers and email services mr bigwig a
7:34
client went on holiday and set up an automatic out of office reply standard practice right but here's the catch the
7:42
system was designed to send the reply only once per sender when Mr bigwig returned he was
7:48
infuriated he called yelled and cussed his way up the hierarchy until he got
7:54
our storyteller on the phone he would not listen to explanations insisting he was right it went all the way to the CTO
8:02
who with a shrug and a smile gave Mr bigwig a waiver to sign removing the limitation but absolving the IT company
8:09
of any liability mr bigwig thought he had won fast forward to December 29th the phone rings
8:17
it is Mr bigwig and he is not happy he is blacklisted on every email blacklist
8:22
cannot send or receive emails and his inbox has 50,000 unread mails and there
8:28
were another 150,000 pending delivery because his inbox was full he was the
8:34
laughing stock of everyone he respected what Mr bigwig did not know and the IT
8:39
company had not known was that he was part of a very exclusive mailing list of high-ranking business owners and
8:45
politicians when his automated out of office reply started bouncing back and forth with the mailing list saying "Hey
8:52
guys Mr bigwig is on holiday he will reply later." It created an endless loop
8:58
of replies imagine the chaos not only was Mr of Bigwig's inbox
9:04
flooded but so were the inboxes of all his fancy pants networking contacts
9:10
he raged threatened to sue for millions and tried to end their business the company's founder after listening to Mr
9:16
bigwig's rant sent him two documents the signed waiver outlining the consequences
9:22
of disabling the out of office restriction and a new service contract this new contract allowed the IT company
9:28
to fix the problem with no financial budget limitations but with a really nice red enormous estimated budget

in front of the class said they would just give him an A assuming he had done well this was not unusual in her
30:18
conservative area but usually teachers still graded fairly the biggest obstacle
30:24
this chemistry teacher was tenured making him virtually impossible to fire
30:30
jessica felt bad for the bitter old man who was in constant pain in teaching to pay for his son's college but at a
30:37
certain point it was affecting her chances of getting into college so she looked up recording laws in her state a
30:43
one party consent state for a month with her grade tanking she recorded him his
30:49
fireworks his misogynistic comments his crying in the chemical storage room his
30:54
leaving them unsupervised and the three times he left campus inexplicably
31:00
she then created a throwaway Gmail in Dropbox uploaded everything and emailed
31:05
it to her superintendent Ms evans with an ultimatum if something was not done she would
31:11
email the recordings to the local news within a day Ms evans responded assuring
31:17
her she would not be punished her parents Ms evans and she met they
31:22
reviewed her grades unmarked tests and the damning videos they asked her to talk to the teacher first but she
31:28
refused citing his treatment of female students miss Evans agreed not to reveal her name
31:35
but said they had to speak with him the next day Mr harrison cornered her after class accusing a student of bringing
31:42
unfounded concerns and lies to the administration hoping she had not done that to him jessica still recording lied
31:49
through her teeth denied everything and explained he was making her uncomfortable by blocking her exit he
31:55
did not deny her accusations only offered to help her specifically since she was struggling so much she emailed
32:03
Miss Evans immediately copying her furious parents a liability lawsuit was
32:08
clearly on the superintendent's mind since they could not fire him due to tenure he was put on immediate permanent
32:14
medical leave with full pay the school brought in a series of unqualified substitutes but two months before the
32:21
national exam they brought in a retired female teacher Ms rodriguez who had taught advanced chemistry for years she
32:28
was a godsend holding 8-hour Saturday classes in those two months they covered
32:34
enough material for a 50% pass rate significantly higher than previous years
32:40
ms evans also wrote Jessica a thank you college recommendation letter partly to keep her quiet and partly because they
32:47
had been trying to get rid of this teacher for years her little sister a few years later had a competent teacher
32:53
and the same 50% pass rate this is a story about a brave student who used her
32:58
intelligence to expose a dangerous and ineffective teacher ensuring better education and safety for those who came
33:04
after her story 12 the fashion designer's sweet revenge in the
33:10
cutthroat world of fashion design plagiarism can be a career-ending move
33:16
but what happens when the plagiarist is the chairman's daughter our next story shows how a brilliant student with the
33:23
help of a strategic professor brought down a lazy entitled classmate our storyteller's friend in Korea Grace
33:30
studies fashion design specializing in handbags and purses she had met a
33:36
classmate Jane and they became bffs grace confident in her incredible
33:42
detailed sketches showed them to Jane who was very impressed
33:47
grace got a high mark on their first major exam while Jane struggled
33:52
jane then started following Grace everywhere for pointers grace trying to be helpful quickly
33:59
realized Jane was one of the most entitled lazy and selfish people she had ever met
34:06
jane was inattentive late unappreciative never paid for coffee and complained about how hard drawing was
34:13
grace quickly gave up on helping her outside of class for their midterm everyone presented their designs grace
34:20
was shocked to see Jane had stolen one of her designs luckily Grace had multiple designs so there was no
34:26
conflict when it was her turn she was seething though grace had a meeting with the professor Professor Lee who knew
34:32
what was going on but could not do anything because Jane was the daughter of the chairman or a major investor
34:39
turns out the chairman had blackmailed Professor Lee into giving Jane good grades however Professor Lee helped
34:46
Grace devise a plan for the finals professor Lee announced the final presentation would be three designs
34:53
judged by industry professionals and attended by the head of the department and the chairman
34:58
grace who had a separate sketchbook of designs for major brands she used as inspiration pretended to be friendly
35:04
with Jane again she brought the inspiration sketchbook to their meetings
35:10
secretly working tirelessly on new designs keeping them a secret from Jane the day of the final presentation
35:15
arrived grace presented first and received high praise then came Jane her
35:22
presentation was another copycat copying designs from three different companies
35:27
after Jane's presentation the judges went in for the kill "so you are saying
35:32
you designed all these by yourself?" "I swear," Jane said "are you aware your
35:37
designs are from three brands are you aware that these are on the market right now and some of the most popular
35:43
designs?" Judge 2 chimed in "Did you honestly think this would work we have
35:49
been in the industry for over 10 years we know a copycat when we see it." Jane
35:55
panicking blurted out "But these aren't even my designs they are from Grace."
36:01
Judge three turning to Grace confirmed the truth that Grace had used them as inspiration but never claimed them as
36:07
her own after the presentation the chairman screamed at Professor Lee in front of everyone unknowingly revealing
36:13
all his blackmailing and the secret grade deal jane tried to slander Grace
36:19
but no one listened she was kicked out of school the chairman lost all support and had to resign replaced by a far more
36:26
honorable and confident one this is a classic tale of how true talent combined
36:32
with strategic planning can expose fraud and bring justice even against the most well-connected individuals story 13 the
36:40
scammer who got scammed this is a satisfying story of a hobbyist who turned the tables on a scammer getting
36:45
his money back and then some with a side of unexpected karma our storyteller let's call him Tom was deeply involved
36:52
in an online community of analog audio hobbyists where people bought and sold hardware he had been looking for an
36:59
extremely rare piece of hardware for years never sold in the US then one
37:05
popped up from a not very active member let's call him Mark mark had convincing
37:10
fake pictures and a fake Japanese bill of sale tom believing it sent the PayPal
37:16
payment then came the excuses busy out of town assistant shipped it but no
37:22
tracking then a fake tracking number finally Mark just stopped responding he
37:27
had used his real name and PayPal account but disappeared from the forum tom filed a PayPal claim but they denied
37:34
it on a technicality mark was banking on this this is where the revenge began with an unintended
37:41
bonus Tom wanted to ensure Mark knew he would be found he called the police but
37:46
they could not have given less of a damn so he found him himself
37:52
an old wedding announcement led him to Mark's wife's name Sarah and then to mention of her being on leave to give
37:58
birth to their first child on her work website bingo he sent a small gift to
38:03
her workplace with his name on it calling to say he was an old friend wishing congratulations and would visit
38:10
soon he envisioned Sarah asking who he was spooking Mark it worked a cashier's
38:17
check for the full amount showed up what Mark did not know Tom had already filed
38:22
a chargeback with American Express after PayPal denied the claim he had no idea if AMX would overturn it or if the
38:29
cashier's check was even legit counterfeit checks can take 45 days to return he truly did not intend to profit
38:37
but AMX resolved the chargeback in his favor clawing the money back from Mark's PayPal and the check was good the kicker
38:46
mark had the gall to email and threatened to charge him with fraud for the chargeback after sending the check
38:52
tom's response hey great to finally hear from you glad you're doing well how's the baby listen
39:01
I'm sure there's just been a mixup and I'll be happy to pay everything just as soon I get the machine i'm sure you
39:07
understand why I want to receive it before I pay at this point of course if you do want to call the police you're
39:13
welcome to explain to them how you attempted to defraud me by selling something you never possessed in the first place your call he never heard
39:21
another word he just hopes Mark's kid did not have to go without diapers this
39:26
is a masterclass in turning a scam into a profit with a side of delicious karma
39:32

39:38
fighting for what is right even when the cost seems disproportionate to the gain

39:52
let's call him Michael tired after working late hailed a cab the ride was short and aggressive with
39:58
tailgating honking and swearing the fair was 6:40 he gave the cabbie let's call
40:04
him Stan $20 and asked for $12 back stan with a giant wad of money gave him $10
40:12
and said he had no ones stan thinking Michael was intoxicated from being picked up near a bar clearly thought he
40:19
deserved a better tip for a 3minut ride michael was not having it what do you mean you don't have anyone's you're a
40:26
cabbie and I just saw your giant wad of cash he demanded to be driven to a pizza
40:31
shop for change stan refused refused to give his name and then with a menacing
40:37
look told him to get the f out of my cab michael caught the cab number as it sped
40:44
off it is the principle of the matter he thought this cabbie was likely doing this to
40:50
intoxicated kids all night michael called the cab company and after a bunch of harassment over several
40:57
months finally got his full $10 back but that was not enough the company director
41:04
could not care less and flat out said he believed the cabbie michael realizing this was a systemic
41:10
issue of enabled victimization threatened to take it up with the city's transportation oversight commission
41:17
the director basically dared him so began a ridiculously arduous process he
41:23
researched local laws wrote a major complaint requesting the company be fined under specific articles
41:30
months later a response letter arrived the cab company had hired a sleazy ass lawyer Mr thompson who claimed Michael
41:37
was lying demanded ones and was fueled by malicious intent

the letter was amateur laughable and full of transparent lies
41:48
at the preliminary hearing everyone was there stan the bedraggled secretary who
41:53
sent the refund the cab company's director Mr thompson a court reporter and a judge stan gave a terrible
42:00
rehearsed story stumbling over his facts mr thompson tried to poke holes in
42:06
Michael's simple and coherent story michael basically learning on the job
42:11
how to be a hacked lawyer even took jabs at the cabbie for lying on the stand the judge relatively young extremely polite
42:19
thoughtful level-headed and patient ruled months later that the cabbie was clearly not credible and ordered the cab
42:26
company to pay a $1,500 civil penalty to the city for fraud and other infractions
42:32
but it was not over mr thompson issued an exception at 9 p.m on the due date
42:38
bringing up new reasons they should not be fined and attacking Michael's credibility again
42:43
michael notified by email frantically wrote an official response before midnight
42:49
months later a total of 1.5 years after the incident after several filings and
42:54
correspondences the judge examined the new material and ruled that the $1,500 fine stood
43:01
got anyone's now but hole michael thought this is a testament to the power of perseverance and fighting for what
43:07
you believe in even when the odds and the cost seem against you
43:13

46:13
their talk she did however ask that if he leaves he stay gone to avoid future
46:19
