Other people's diariesNever read other people's diaries and email - you'll never find anything nice in there. If it's not just slagging you off, it'll be sordid fantasies you really didn't want to know about, yet have to keep to yourself so as not to reveal how you found out.
So. What have you read 'accidentally' recently?

Not a diary, but an examGreek kids are the biggest cheats in the world. I discovered this while teaching them English a few years ago. We used to joke that if you gave the class a piece of paper and asked them to write their own name on it, you'd collect 15 pieces of paper with the class swot's name on it.
Nothing I could do would stop them copying. Even the intelligent ones would copy from their stupid neighbours because the culture dictates that copying is better than knowing. It's their way of beating the system. So I decided to get my revenge.
I gave them an end of term exam and 'accidentally' left a fake answer key on my desk. Then I read a magazine. Naturally, the kids at the front started to pass the answers around in whispers and on pieces of paper. Even the clever kids gave the stolen answers more credence than the obviously correct answers.
Everybody failed. When I told them of my ruse, they were outraged that I had cheated them. The school made me re-do the exam, this time allowing the students to cheat properly.
