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.

Financial gain through embezzlementWhen I was about 16/17, my parents kindly moved from within walking distance to school to about 5m away. Fantastic I thought, as I would no doubt be given a lift to school instead of being forced to walk.
My mother, on the other hand, had a different opinion. I would be using the local bus service, although to soften the blow she did provide me with the bus fare on a daily basis.
So cash in hand, I'd walk around the corner to the bus stop and wait for said bus. Only before it arrived, I would be picked up by another child's mother who clearly thought it would be too cruel to force her offsrping into using public transport.
Naturally I never let on the fact that I got a lift to and from school everyday and instead pocketed the bus fare for about two years...
