True story:

In high school, I learned how to type very fast because I was also a pro video game player.

My English class had an in-class essay test.

Everyone else's essay was 1-2 pages.

Mine was 10.

I wrote so much, so fast, I was accused of emailing it to myself.

My teacher threatened to fail me for trying to "pull a fast one on her."

When I argued that I hadn't done anything wrong, I got sent to the principal's office.

My punishment?

I had to re-take the test in the library the next day with my teacher hovering over my shoulder.

So the next day I showed up at 3pm when the bell rang.

Plopped down at one of the computers.

And started typing.

After 10 minutes, I'd already written a handful of pages.

My teacher, clearly not happy, stopped me and said I could go home.

"Now do you believe me?" I said..

She did not.

She claimed what I had written today was worse than what I'd written the day before and there was "no way" I could have written what I did in 1 class period.

But she couldn't prove it.

So I got a C.

For not "following directions."
