    I have had uni professors sign books to make sure people actually bought new books and not used ones (he wrote them); unfortunately for him i had access to toluene to get pen ink off; did the same to all of my peers; Fuck those kind of professors

        He threatened you to either buy a new book or he would make your uni career hell, one of my mates did it, at the last exam he sent him back 5 times, the last time he went to take the exam the coordiator said “what else have you got to ask to him; he told you everything in your course; [insert name] give me the paper” he signed the paper and sent him off; the prof. Still gave him only 60/100.

        I still want to slap that piece of shit.

        After that i taught other people in the uni to do that; he tried to mitigate by writing over the printed title of the book; hoping that any tampering would be evident; toluene didn’t touch the toner, so it didn’t work

        Edit: grammar mistake (thanks mac)

          Sounds like a pos.

          Also that sounds very illegal, no complaints have been filed or anything?

            Here in italy no one gives a quater of a fuck about that kind of shit. Good thing is that the same can be said when after the last exams he always needs to call a tow truck since he won’t have tires, not even cameras were able to stop them, and i’m quite sure other professors turn a blind eye to them since they also hate him.

          hi 👋

          just fyi:
          “teach” is one of those words in English that has a different suffix for it’s past-tense: it is “taught”.
          Eg. “They taught me to sew.”
          “teached” is improper.

          Note: not to be confused with “taut” which is pronounced the same.

          :)

            I had originally wrote taught but i confused it with “pulling something tight” so i went with what would get the point across even if it was wrong.

            Edit: fixed it now

              No judgment, I think its interesting the little high-stakes decisions we make like this though.

              “Oh no which spelling is it? Is there time to search it up? Oh no my train of thought is fading! Send send send!”

          Do Italian professors know their students’ names? Over here, two countries to the North, no professor knows anything about their students.

            If you mean Germany: Depends. At my smaller university quite a few professors knew my name and others had something I would consider a friendship.

      Buy/collect used books off students after they finish the course… Remove the ink, resell undercutting him by a ton and make a huge profit!
