Cheating cheaty cheatsI'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

victory over evil maths teacheras I was a bit of a wimp and also fairly brainy, a typical bully bloke decided to try and copy me in our end of year maths test. He intimated that if I didn't let him do so, he'd make things very hard for me.
The maths teacher, however, had it in for me, and was completely blind to my then braininess (don't know where it all went, 'cos it ain't there now). He thoght I was quite thick, and only did well because I cheated.
Because of this, in the test, the teacher was watching me like a hawk, and when thicky bully bloke tried to get me to show him an answer to some sum or other, he managed to misread the situation as me copying from thicky bully.
So, my test result was disqualified, despite my protestations of innocence, and I was forced to sit the test again (different qestions) on my own. My results from this test were ,of course, loads better, because I didn't have a thick bully breathing down my neck.
I'll never forget the teachers face when he had to admit that I obviously wasn't a cheating little rat, and he had to retract all the nasty comments he'd made about finally catching me out. He still used the result from the first est though, just because it was lower.
