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.

UniThe end of year union party was always the biggest and best event at university. Everyone tried to go, but with the union capacity at about 3,000 and more than 10,000 students, obviously most people weren't going to get in. The tickets were sold out within an hour of them going on sale, and my best mate and I didn't manage to get hold of tickets.
Because the union was open all day, when holding a ticketed event, they would kick everyone out about 15 minutes before the start time so only people with tickets were admitted.
Hiding in the loos was no good - that was the first place the stewards would look.
So my mate and I hatched a cunning plan! We scoured the union for a suitable hiding place, eventually discovering a broom cupboard in the basement. For a whole hour before the event started we crouched in the darkness, in between the hoover and the mop bucket. It was very uncomfortable!
But we got in! Not only did we not pay to get in (everyone else had paid a tenner - huge sum of money in student terms), but everyone we told the story to was so impressed they bought us a drink!
You've either got it or you haven't!
