Perfect Results, No Effort
U/LittleMissFirebright: “So at my high school we had a packet system in place as a kind of safety net for failing students. If you failed a class, they’d let you do a packet to earn a better grade, with a final test at the end. Turns out, the packets were easy. Your final grade depended on your score on the last test…The test was an absolute joke…Naturally getting a perfect score was easy.
Here’s the best part though. It wasn’t just a system to give you a credit, it actually replaced your failing grade on the records to an A. I stopped attending classes that bored me, except for tests and review days. For two years, I only attended classes I enjoyed, like ceramics and creative writing, failed most of my classes, and then ‘fixed’ the grades within a single week. Straight As, practically zero effort.”
Gravy Train
“A man in China purchased a first-class plane ticket — and used it to eat a year’s worth of free meals at the VIP lounge at Xi’an International Airport. The frequent diner purchased a first-class, fully refundable ticket aboard Eastern China Airline. He used the ticket to gain access to the airport’s VIP lounge, where high-rolling travelers dine for free…The man re-booked his first-class ticket over and over again and kept the gravy train rolling.
Eastern China Airlines officials only recently figured out the man’s scheme after noticing his single ticket being re-booked 300 times over one year…Airline officials admitted there was nothing they could do to stop the frequent diner. The freeloader ended up cashing in his fully refundable ticket and getting back all his money.”
