hello and welcome back to the kcc channel i'm rob and i hope you're having a wonderful day today
today we're jumping into some pro revenge before we start make sure you check out that kcc discord
linked in the description down below it's a free place where you can go and talk with me
and a bunch of other kcc fans our first story today comes to us from cmsrn cheating student
thought he had me fooled fell right into my trap let's jump right in so i am a cancer researcher
and a guest professor at a university school of medicine teaching my specialty imaging besides the
usual acquisitions of medical images using mri ct etc imaging has a lot to do with image processing
some days i am just a glorified programmer and i.t guy and as anyone who has ever programmed
anything will tell you coding is a very personal activity with enough experience you can tell who
wrote what just by looking at the lines i am also in my late 20s and i am not native to this country
and it's my first year as guest professor so some students look at me as this inexperienced gullible
foreign guy as part of my module's grading the students have to submit two reports that weigh 10
each of their final grade these reports are about image processing and they have to code a fair bit
as usual there are students that make an effort some do minimal work and then some cheat or copy
as i was grading the reports i noticed a small group of students who found reports from previous
years online and literally copied and pasted those reports changing only their name it
was a facepalm moment because those reports were not even good and had a lot of errors
you see in order to establish a baseline for my grading i browsed previous year's reports
so i knew what to expect from the students of this module naturally i graded them all with xero and
kept working my way through grading the reports i had left meanwhile the students casually asked
me in the halls how were the reports of course i can't comment on that until i release the grades
one time this dude who had copied from another report 98 match on plagiarism checker asks me
when i will release the grades and comes with this story that he worked really hard on his reports
that his exam hasn't gone so well and he is hoping that the grade on his reports are enough to get
a pass i mean submitting another person's work as your own is very wrong but it was an online
submission and impersonal right now he was just lying through his teeth and to my face
i could feel my blood boiling but i didn't lose my composure and decide to come up with a plan
i knew that my exam was the last exam of the semester and that after that the students
usually go home or family vacations while they wait for their grades to be posted online
so i graded the exams and input their grades into my excel with their report grades four
students had zero due to cheating on their reports and if i graded their reports with 50
of the max grade they would barely fail the module but they would fail nonetheless so it was
on in order to be fair i bumped everyone else's grades a bunch of people with miserable reports
ended up barely passing because of my grade bump but even though their reports were bad
it was their own work and not copied from anywhere you see students are entitled to make appointments
to review their grades after publishing and before the grades are locked for the year basically they
sit with me we go through their exam and reports and their goal is to convince me to give them
extra points in hope that they pass the module i knew the cheaters would come after all they think
they fooled me once already and they still have half the reports points to bargain for
so i just waited for their emails lo and behold they write me the same day the grades go online
saying how hard they worked on their reports and that they don't understand how they only got 50
and that they wanted an appointment i was ecstatic sure let's review your grades do you remember that
my exam was the last one well they were already on vacations some very far away and begged me for an
online appointment no can do university policy moreover you have three days to show for your
appointment otherwise the grades are locked also university policy so here they come cutting their
vacation short and catching planes some spent hours in buses and trains to make it on time
i know what many of you are thinking they come i show them the plagiarism checker results
and reveal that i know that it is not their work and send them on their way
well i considered it but i had something better in mind those appointments usually take 10
minutes i show them their work with my notes on what's wrong or right and they try to find some
inconsistencies in my grading and bargain for more points i ain't giving you the opportunity
so one by one they sit with me individually and i go through their exam and reports remember that
they copied the reports and copied bad ones with a lot of errors i ask questions lots of
them why did you do this what is your reasoning for this they don't know it's not their work
they mumble random stuff because they don't know what to answer point by point mistake by mistake
i explained why it was wrong how it should be done lecturing the same material that they had
already been lectured on during class i make it long i make it boring i make it painful
i spent hours with each one of them throughout those three days they always came with the same
i worked so hard on this and a little smirk on their face because they thought that it should be
really easy to fool me the gullible foreign again as the hours go by and i am walking through the
errors one by one i could see their expression change little by little their hopes of passing
being slowly crushed and when they realized that i knew they cheated and i wasn't going
to give up any extra points at this point they tried to cut short their appointment and leave
i wouldn't let them we need to finish the review of your grades it's university policy and i just
kept going extending their misery for one more hour or two it was legal torture plain and simple
it was glorious at the end every single one of them left with a crushed soul look in their eyes
and a fail in my class they knew that i caught them that i baited them and they fell for it
they ruined their vacation and their family's vacations spent money to travel back and forth
wasted precious summer time got bored to death and have nothing to show for it and next year
they will have to repeat the module with me i hope you enjoy your summer see you next year there's a
comment down below this one that says my dad's colleague marked an essay and found her words
were used extensively but not credited the student didn't know that the lecturer was divorced and the
plagiarized stuff was written under her married name could you imagine saying to a student yep
i know you stole this work wanna know why because you stole it from me dumbass this reminds me of a
situation that's not quite related but then again it is i was working at a gas station and i had a
guy come in to buy cigarettes and he hands me his id i look at the idea and i go yup this isn't you
he says yes it's me and i say no this definitely isn't you because i went to school with this guy's
brother do me a quick favor have a look down below the video if that subscribe button still read it

daily reddit stories our second story today comes to us from a quiet borderline what happens when
engineering students are asked to truck proof a mailbox let's jump right in yes i know there are a
lot of mailbox stories on here but i just learned this story from my dad involving my uncle dale a
friendly friend who passed away a few months ago and figured you guys would get a kick out
of it years ago back when uncle dale and dad were university students their engineering professor
came to their class with a problem that needed solving his mailbox was getting broken by someone
driving by every night he and his wife had put up something like four or five mailboxes and all four
or five times the mailbox had been knocked over by someone driving a red truck this professor
offered extra credit to any group of students who could come up with a truck-proof mailbox that not
only fit with city regulations but within a budget of 20 which back then was a good sized
chunk of change well if anyone here knows anything about engineers as dad puts it they love solving
problems and if it's engineering students they'll make it an experience to remember dad and uncle
dale got together and got to work they found a steel bar that fit within a mailbox regulation
posts have to be a specific height width and depth and filled the inside with a mixture of concrete
and steel rebars once the concrete had cured they welded eight rebars to the sides of the bar
bent them in half and stuck them inside a bucket to add extra weight they filled the bucket with
the heaviest rocks they could find as a finishing touch they painted it brown and black to look like
wood and put the ugliest mailbox we could find on sale on top welding it down for good measure they
brought this monstrosity into class moore dragged it because it was so heavy and told the professor
to bury the bucket where the mailbox stood since they were the first to turn in their project the
professor agreed to give it a try that night the professor and his wife were awoken by a metallic
bang followed by a lot of cursing they went outside and wouldn't you know it there was that
red truck speeding away the mailbox still standing at the base was a broken wooden baseball bat
two days later the professor gets a bill in the mail for a hospital visit
turns out when the passenger hit the mailbox he did some serious damage to his arm and shoulder
they were planning on suing the professor but the professor hired a lawyer who basically told
the plaintiffs you're just going to admit that you were vandalizing the mailbox multiple times that
shut them up to the best of my dad's knowledge the mailbox is still standing the other students who
still brought in mailboxes had theirs gifted to different professors throughout the town and are
also still standing while it's true that there are a lot of mailbox stories on reddit there actually
was another one down in the comments that i thought was really good it says as a mail carrier
i've heard a few stories and have seen examples myself of mailbox ingenuity one that stands out is
an unusual and obviously very old box out in the country way back when i was training i asked the
regular carrier about it who told me that a farmer on my route had trouble with one of his neighbor
kids constantly bashing in his box so finally he bought the largest mailbox he could find and put a
regular mailbox inside of it he then proceeded to fill the empty space inside with concrete
so it looked like a normal large country mailbox but when you opened the door you just saw a small
mailbox encased in the middle of a solid wall as a final touch he painted a big target on the side
the regular said that the neighbor kid tried to smash it just once that thing outlived the farmer
by years so another thing we've learned from all of these reddit stories is there's a list of
people you should never mess with it starts with it and now we can add on farmers and engineers
our last story today comes to us from yoshua 82 party every night for a year okay
let's jump right in so i was told this story might fit here sorry for the poor grammar i
went to school in california in the 90s i bought a house four years ago in a quiet neighborhood i
had wanted to get into that neighborhood for years my best friend lives there it was a couple blocks
from my kid's school it was a good neighborhood then covet hit my neighbors across the street were
forced to move at the beginning of the pandemic before the eviction moratorium was in place they
were really good neighbors we were friendly with each other and we were sad to see them go
so when the property owner rented to a new family we were hoping we could cultivate a friendly
relationship unfortunately that was not the case about a month after they moved in the lockdown
started and that's when things went from 0 to 100 real quick for the next year every night there was
a huge party cars down the street music so loud you could hear it over regular house noise
in every room in my house my friend in the next cul-de-sac would tell me regularly if the music he
was hearing was my neighbors we tried to be civil i asked politely i brought them beer and i offered
some killer 420. eventually they threatened me and my wife so we started calling the police
almost every night for four months we organized with the neighbors and they started calling the
police as well eventually the others gave up and started selling their houses because the
renters were just that bad we were still upside down on our place so it wasn't an option for us
eventually the police told me that i needed to stop calling and that it wasn't their issue to
deal with that i was a bigger nuisance than the renter's music it was at that time the housing
market was taking off houses were selling in my area for 40 to 50k over appraised value my wife
and i looked at what we needed to make so we could move and listed our home for that in three days we
had a handful of obscene offers to choose from but it was the lowest offer that stood out to us
the most their offer was a good 20k under the next lowest offer but they sent a letter i'm a sucker
for a letter especially one with a picture of a young pregnant couple and a dog and a patrol car
turns out the young man is a police officer newly appointed at the local pd and he takes his patrol
car home i knew at that point that this was the family to sell my house to money be damned i
moved out as the neighbors were throwing a huge party the next day the police moved in and they
haven't had another since i drive by regularly on my way to my buddy's place they just sit quietly
in their garage looking bored i make sure i honk and wave every time gotta be honest i couldn't see
myself taking that much of a financial hit just to get back on some neighbors that aren't even going
to be my neighbor soon considering i'm moving somewhere else i just don't get that this sounds
a little fishy remember to check out the kcc discord linked at the top of the description down
below i'm in there all the time thank you to all three ops for posting their stories they're linked
down below as well and i thank you for watching everybody have a wonderful day and we'll see you
tomorrow
