BarbeQSauce speaking of that, a buddy of mine has a chronic habit of falling asleep in class our freshman year and our bio teacher asked him to explain how something worked. The kid right next to him tapped him on the shoulder. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and explained everything in perfect detail. He even corrected a mistake she made.

One time, I was late to my class in college and once I started walking to my table, the teacher asked me a question regarding what he was teaching the class the moment I had walked in. Joke was on him because I had been studying that section in my car for the last hour before I went in. I answered his question correctly. I thought, "Yeah, you thought you had me, didn't you, beech?" It was glorious.

I've done taekwondo for the past 8 years, am a 3rd degree level 4 black belt, and am one of the highest ranking students where I practice. A few years back, my studio got a guy who had transferred from another studio. He thought he was the sh*t, even though he was just a green belt. When it came time for sparring, we got our gear on and the instructor put me and this guy together since he was new and I knew how to take it easy on new people. He starts talking smack about how he'll easily come out on top and blah blah blah. It is worth noting that I am a girl and was shorter than him even though I was older (curse you short genes), but, dude, do you not see the belt I am wearing? I decided I needed to put him in his place (in martial arts, you can never get away with bad-mouthing your senior). Instructor starts the match, and I immediately kick him in the head. Not hard enough to hurt him, but it was enough to make him realize he had made a horrible mistake. I then proceeded to lay him out for the rest of the match. He never talked crap ever again.

[@shambolicrhetoric6143]

LOL I did the same thing in college. I was assigned to a bunch of lazy aholes who didn't care about what score they achieved, so long as it was a pass. The kind of people who will not end up working for a good company in my field, that's for sure. I took that sht over and scored 96%. The rest of the group were astounded. The score was so high that, due to assessment weighting, they only needed 4% on the final exam to pass. I didn't even get a thank you though.

[@sleepy_koko]

Ok so I did this project made like this There are three jobs that people need A B and C so we needed a three person group for each person to do one job, I, having no friends and too anti social to ask anyone to join their group had to work alone. I was actually really panicking that I wouldn’t have enough time to finish so I cut a few corners and didn’t go as crazy as I would have wanted too, (I was doing a project that was meant for three people to do) but I finished it first of all the people and got a perfect grade on it (really loved seeing the perfect on “group collaboration”) in any group where I have to work with people I never get along with them, I always do most of the work, and is one of the last people done. “You can’t avoid group work forever” well I damn well will try

[@ABEL-cd2sp]

Sleepy just do what I do if this situation presents itself. If a teacher puts you with the lazy motherfuckers and forcefully wants you to do the work, just lead with an iron fist, force them to work, scare them and make them catch up if they get lazy just shove your fist up their ass. It’s technically teamwork and if anything they’ll be the one who want to leave the team so you can just do it on your own. In my case though I do work with people but I’m still an iron fist person it just makes the workflow better and all my teammates in Uni know and have seen me act like an asshole even if I’m normally quiet and anytime we start a new project I let em know that I’ll get on their ass if they get lazy and they normally accept because it’s university we all gotta bust our asses to be there at times. But yeah either keep talking to ya teachers and remember use that strategy if a teacher is forcing you to work in a team forcefully, they can’t avoid teamwork forever and they gotta learn to deal with people with high expectations

So I stutter, severely, and in general I'm a quiet person. A while ago I was taking a a class to be a pharmacy technician and we had a substitute teacher who was an actual pharmacist. When he met me and heard me speak he immediately dismissed me. Then he asked someone a fairly simple question( to me anyway) and the girl he asked got it wrong. My hand shot up and I answered correctly. And the next question, and the next while everyone else fumbled over their answers. And pretty soon he's looking at me to answer all his questions. I'm not a know it all, I don't generally like doing that. But I don't like being immediately dismissed,passed over, thought as an idiot because of my speech, etc. It might take me longer to say what I want to say but I have a brain.

Really liked the one from the 65 year old lady. My grandad is in his seventies, really oldschool kind of bloke in some ways. But he started and runs a computer club at his facility, and he was the only teacher to help the little old folks play puzzle games, set up Facebook, and send emails. My sister and I would help out sometimes. I saw one of his mates, who was also in the woodturning group my Grandad loved to work in. He had goddamn AutoCAD open planning out some new project of his, navigating the menus and shortcuts with ease, leaning back to look at the screen because he wouldn't wear reading glasses. His workflow was a hundred times smoother than most of the people I'd gone to TAFE with, for animation and game design, primarily using Autodesk 3D systems. These older folks are still bright, most of them just take their time to decide what they want to adapt to and whether it's going to be a good investment of their time. Getting access to hundreds of free puzzles is much easier than buying, storing, and not losing pieces for all of their real world ones. But some folks love the feeling of clicking the piece into place. Hey, I prefer a physical book to a digital one, and I'm a tech baby. It all comes down to how much they're willing to put into it.

[@reallynotbob6]

Actually with most older people and technology, what holds them back is they're afraid to touch something because they think they might break it right away. The ones who aren't actually develop smoother workflows than the younger people I see. Why? Some of the workflowing that they've learned from years in industry on paper applies to the computer screen as well. And in some ways paper workflows aren't as forgiving as software ones.

Couple of times actually. I used to play chess back in high school during study halls when I had no homework. My math teacher challenged me to a game, the same math teacher who’s class I was failing and would later barely pass. We made a bet out of it. If I won, she would buy me and my friends pizza for lunch next week. If she won, I’d have extra homework due at the end of next week. She was so cocky, she even printed it up and brought it with her. I checkmated her in less than 45 minutes. Few moments in high school were as satisfying as seeing the dumbfounded look on her face before she tore the homework up in front of me and dumped it in the recycling bin. Needless to say, lunch the following week tasted that much sweeter. Ironically enough, I’m pushing 23 now and I’ve still yet to beat my dad in a match. He’s a cab dispatcher.

I’m autistic so I have lots of stories lol The most memorable one was when while playing A.F.L ( I’ve been playing for ten years ) we had a new coach because our old one moved to America. I told the coach that I have severe anxiety which sometimes caused me to be emotional about things that aren’t even relevant *. Apparently this was enough for her to think that I needed to be put in the special ed team. Later that year I won about 5 or 6 awards for A.F.L because I was the only person on the special ed team that could play well. * While I was at a friends birthday party I was playing on the trampoline and all of a sudden I got really scared that I would get salmonella from eating exactly 84 bricks.

Then it was 4/11/2020, the day where it happened, he then got mad and then bluntly told my crush I liked him on discord. *We both started laughing.* Crush: *..I know.* My friend: W-what..?! Me: FOOL!

My school recently started giving self defense classes. On the first day, all the guys were excited to punch each other without consequences, and girls weren’t that excited because they were all friends with each other. I got paired with the worst school wide bully. When I say worst, I mean bad. Even the other bullies thought this guy was going too far. Nobody except my friends and the instructor knew I had already been trained in BJJ and kickboxing. We circled each other for a bit, and he smirked and shifted his weight. I went in and we grappled for a few seconds, then he threw me off. Circled a bit again, went for the grapple, and now that I knew his shitty technique, I used his weight and momentum to flip him over my shoulder and slam him on the mat, hard. Put him in a chokehold and he tapped out in 4 seconds. Instructor called it off, but he went it for seconds. Went for a punch to my face (face strikes were off limits until we could get proper protective gear), I caught his punch, twisted, and broke his wrist, elbow, and dislocated his shoulder. Onlookers went apeshit, and I wasn’t punished because everybody knew about the crap he was pulling. He bullied kids who didn’t deserve to be bullied (the other “bullies” would only bully people who deserved it), and he fought with no honor. It felt incredible, and after he came back to school, he apologized to every single person he had ever bullied (that still were at the school) and is now one of my best friends.

When people underestimate you in pvp focused mmo's based on what your character looks like. Because they can generally tell what weapons you use and what class you are on sight, and can combine that with knowledge of what is considered the "meta." In one instance, I broke the meta so hard for what it came down to using for my class, the entire server had changed to my build within a month, because it was in fact statistically stronger when strategically applied, and pretty easy to learn. In the other instance, I had a different class, but it was a completely solo style build, which beat literally everyone that tried to fight it 1 vs 1, with one player being the exception, they lasted 10 minutes straight and we couldn't kill each other and called a draw. This same character was constantly fighting small groups of 1-4 people in pvp dungeons while farming better gears, until someone got fed up with me and sent 3 of the best players of the class that supposedly countered mine, to clear me out of there. I sent them packing. They learned to start sending raid groups of 10 players with people of every class, down to kill me. I could avoid them with a stealth mechanic, but for fun I decided to kill as many as I could one day. I killed 2 of them before the sheer amount of damage overwhelmed me. I saw that game differently than most people I guess, since it always seemed like I was one of only a few innovative players that could look at what was available and make the best out of it. I was hated by some, to the point the reports of hacking had mods look into me a few times to confirm my legit play, but I had nothing but respect from my friendships there, and trust that I knew what I was talking about. Some of them even wanted me to teach them why things worked, and even some mods openly respected me by asking for help understanding game breaking bugs. I still think about those days all the time. I wish people were more like that in real life.

18 years ago there was this gorgeous young girl that on account that she was very pretty, and had a tendency to speak candidly, everyone kinda thought of her as a ditz that would need to marry rich to get anywhere. Well since we were in the same circle, I never got to actually talk with her as a person, as she was generally put down by the guys for being dumb and not thinking before she speaks. So when I did get to hangout with her alone, I found out she wasn't dumb. She actually had a very high social awareness, and what was worse is that she believed she was dumb because our friends kept telling her that she is. So she goes off to college, drops out because she realised she didn't want that career (that is a smart move), and became a receptionist, then is now a 60k a year secretary with healthcare, retirement, and dental at 30 years old. What of our old friends? Still working whatever job will pay the bills this year. Sadly I don't keep in contact with her, mostly because she does keep in touch with the former circle and I don't want them knowing anything about me.

nunya bisnass Woah. You don’t know how much this touched me to read. This just goes to show how the opinions of other people can affect the life of someone, whether people think they’ve done something crucially wrong or not. That woman’s friends spent their whole friendship limiting her, and in turn, she limited herself and ended up being blind to her own intelligence. Even in a teasing way, even when it’s “just a joke”- labels stick. That’s a lesson I wish everyone in my high school could learn... honestly. I’m a freshman, and I’m doing my best to try and lift everyone else up, to tell all my friends about the best qualities in themselves, to tell them some of the things they never tell me. Even if I overdo it, I don’t care... because there’s so much negativity in high school, it’s insane. A lot of it is disguised as playful teasing, but we all know everyone kinda believes it deep down. I know how much it hurts to be condemned by the way other people label me- being called “oblivious” “socially inept” “terrible at communicating” and so much more... at one point, I believed it all. It hindered me because I believed it, not the other way around. “Harmless” words from other people made me feel like I had some sort of language barrier with the world, like I’d never be able to understand everyone the way I should. Took me way too long to realize that the way I understand people is just that... the way I understand them. It’s how I see them. How I communicate. And I’m not trading my own mind for the world. I’m so happy for the woman in your story. She inspires me to keep being confidently me and to pursue my dreams. Thank you for understanding her.

I've been really bad at school my whole life. When I was in primary my mom was told I'd never amount to anything. Many people did not believe in me even then. Never turned in homework because I felt it a waste of time that I should be spending with family and unwinding from the daily stresses. Never did exercises or revision because I thought it was boring and they were useless (spoiler alert: they were and same goes for 90% of all school subjects) and the teachers would never teach anything I found interesting. There were a few exceptions, namely English and even though I despised Shakespeare it was still one of my favourites and I was really good at it. I managed to soak up all lectures like a sponge. Just absorbing everything and comprehending everything quite easily (even the ones I wasn't even remotely interested in). I was very interactive during class and I pretty much dominated the whole thing most of the time by constantly asking questions and not giving a fuck that other people laughed at me for it. We also had a subject called 'CAT' which I took because I wanted to code. Big mistake, it was just microsoft office every day and I hated it. I actually asked the teacher to teach some code and she said no one was capable enough to learn it (LOL). At the end of it all when I graduated high-school I came 4th in my entire district (that made some people really mad XD). I still revel in the fact that I got one of the highest marks in one of my worst subjects and my old teachers sheer look of disbelief when he found out. Glorious. And now? I got my diploma (one of the best in class) and now I'm doing my degree; learning about microprocessors and Artificial Intelligence and Big Data and breezing past everyone in my year. Coding away like it was no big deal and teaching my peers what I already know. Life is pretty good right now.

I was fit and athletic in school. I started gaining weight after graduation due to developing a rare disease. It went undiagnosed for 2 years. Some family and friends were criticizing my weight and pressuring me to lose it. They hadn't seen me in a while and thought I gained it from poor eating and being lazy, which was not true. The ones who know me, suspected something wasn't right with my health. I ate very little and had no energy, these were symptoms of the disease. I find it ironic that the people criticizing my weight were not in the best shape themselves and regularly ate junk food. Their insensitive words pissed me off. After I saw the proper doctors and was prescribed medication, I naturally dropped the weight in a year. I got down to a size 2, while they are still out of shape. Now they are coming up with excuses as to why they can't lose their weight. I don't care what they say anymore. This disease would've took my vision if I hadn't gone to the doctor on time.

The “I was considered the dumb one” is almost the same thing that happened to me. I was in a group of friends that all of them had good grades, but not me. Then... I failed a year, and for me was the best thing that happened, ‘cause those “friends” just stopped to talk to me, because in that time, failing a year was considered “oh you are so stupid” and nothing more and nothing less. Long story short. I passed in two of three exams to enter in two different and very good universities, and those friends that I was so stupid to be a part of, didn’t passed in any - they continued to make courses to try again in the end of the year. My mainly lesson was not to make all the year again (i got good grades, my teachers helped me a lot this time, because I searched for help) but to know who were my truly friends in a time of difficult. They were “so good for me”. Then I turned so good for them. The only sad topic was that I liked them so much. But those stories are always like that.

I told him how impressed I was by some of the "Letters To The Editor" in the previous days edition. We had a nice little chat in which he reminded me that many members of the public were doing ordinary jobs but were extremely smart. He was also very smart and could have run the editorial offices of any newspaper in the country but really liked small town life where he knew most of the community leaders.

All mine are gaming related. - Was talking with a friend online. Somehow Chess came up and I was like "Yo, wanna play a match for fun?" and he accepted. We're having a nice back and forth and I make a "mistake" (I knew it was a bad move, I just wanted to see if he'd capitalize on it) and he took advantage, then mentioned that his roommate in college had been a Chess player and he sometimes managed to beat that guy, so my friend "was pretty good". A few turns later he made a stupid move for some reason and I saw the line to crush him, so I did. The match didn't last long afterwards, I completely dismantled him until he only had a few pawns left and gave up. Then I told him "I once accidentally beat a guy in 6 moves and neither of us realized it until 4 moves later". He was FUMING, lol. - Another was in HS when I used to play casual MTG. It was a big 7ish player match and I hadn't been playing for long and didn't have much of a collection, so my deck was pretty dookie (it was W/G weenies basically) and I couldn't really follow any of the plays that were going on around me. Thankfully the rest of the board was taking it easy on me and focused mostly on killing each other because I wasn't much of a threat, so they whittle each other down and finish each other off and the board is left with me and a friend of mine who's a real competitive Spike. His turn comes, he goes all in on his attack to kill me because I barely don't have enough blockers to cover his damage output. Everyone else is packing up and he's confident he's won and has already started holding his hand out for a shake when I look him dead in the eye and ask if he's locked in his attack. He's confused, but he says "Yeah". So I go "Great", tap the green land I'd left untapped last turn after summoning my dude, declare no blockers, and drop Fog onto the table (I'd kept it from literally the start of the match and it was the first time I'd ever played the deck so no one knew I even had one, let alone ran it). The table fucking exploded. My friend was so shook. I asked "Anything else?" and he goes "No", so the turn passes and I all in and kill him from like 15 HP. - The final one is LoL related, which of course means it's the dumbest. On a message board I developed a reputation of being a snarky low elo player who'd constantly argue with plat+ players about champs and matchups and things. I was infamous among the "high elo" players on the board, and surprisingly respected by the rest. So one day back in like, season 5 I wanna say, there's this thread a guy in high plat - low diamond made about how Syndra has no bad matchups and she can just run over every midlaner. I come in and say "There's no way she's killing Morg", and things snowballed into me and him 1v1ing. The rules were simple. First to get 3 kills, or first to take second tower, best of 3. He thought it'd be easy because I was just some low gold shitter with a big mouth, meanwhile he'd hit diamond in multiple seasons (also he was just an arrogant douche in general). People were jokingly taking bets on who'd win, and the high elo players were all dumping on me and vouching for the other guy because they'd played with him a few times. TL:DR, I 2-0'd him, on stream, without dying once, while a high diamond Swain onetrick on the board was in the match to confirm. "Go (name!)" - Random board user. "I already won, we're doing the next." - Me. "Oh. I believe in u again." 10 minutes later. "I won again." 30 seconds later. "Yeah, time to uninstall." - The guy I 1v1'd. The guy stopped being a dick to me at least, and my infamy grew ever larger. We had a new healthy respect for each other after that, it was anime AF in retrospect tbh. He even let me borrow his PBE account a few times, and he duo'd with me to help me do my placements later that year. God the internet is stupid, lmao.

My first job out of college I ended up being analyst for a luxury italian clothing brand. I barely received any training, pretty much taught myself excel and laid out the blueprint for an entire department (that was just me) and even took on the roles of a second job title. They had me telling people making 2-3x what I was how to do their job. They even had me train the two women who would become my manager and supervisor. Those women made myself hell, one was incompetent and the other was forcing me to take deadlines I was telling them were impossible. It all came crashing to an end when I was working 60-70 hours a week for almost a month to try to get the impossible task done. They thanked me by writing me up for accruing too much overtime and not being able to meet my deadlines. I started looking for other work. They started forcing me to come in on weekends, the absolute last straw. One day it was 7:30 and my boss was trying to get me to stay and do something that would take me an entire day. I laughed in his face, walked out and put in my two weeks in the morning. Within 6 months of leaving, both financial controllers I reported to were fired, the manager I trained ran for the hills without a 2 week notice and my former supervisor who I also trained was demoted to my position after the company failed to fill it. Note to employers: Don't stress your talent, especially when they repeatedly tell you something is impossible and you're paying them below average wage for only one of their job titles.

Best example I probably have is when I enlisted in the Air Force. Originally took the PiCAT (effectively just an ASVAB you do at home instead of at MEPS and you take a confirmation test later to confirm that you didn’t cheat) and when the day came for the confirmation test, the test proctor informed me that there wasn’t any test information under my SSN. I had scored 90+ on all four sections, with a 97 on the General section, which is the one that mattered since I wanted to be a linguist. Man told me that I’d have to sit down for an entire ASVAB again. Looked at me and said “good luck cheating on this one”. That pissed me off. Took the whole test again. Improved all scores by a couple points, with a 99 in General. When I came up to tell the proctor I was finished, he took a look at his screen, looked back at me and said “it appears I owe you an apology”

When I was a kid ADHD kids were thrown into special ed and forgotten. Used to get yelled at in 2nd grade for reading books on a 4th to 5th grade level instead of the assignment. I moved and they put me in spec ed. Half way thru them testing were I was academically the state test was given. I was told not to worry about it because they would ignore my test score anyways. A day later I'm pulled out of spec ed and all the teachers glared at me. The next year I was a freshman and they left me somewhat alone despite hating my whole group of friends. Some one had to prop up the school's TAKS test scores.
