Sorry if this isn’t exactly malicious but it kind of is, also I’m writing this on my phone and my autocorrect hates me
Short but funny story from college. I was taking a science class back in my college days. I had a ti-89ish calculator for all my classes. My professor apparently a rule where you couldn’t use scientific calculators, you can only use a basic one. Well, on a test day I brought in my regular ti calculator and the professor came up to me, saying I can program that and to use my phone instead. The funny part, I’m a software engineer (I was going for a computer science degree at the time of this) who probably could figure out how to write a basic calculator app with anything I could have cheated with. From then on out, I just used my phone, knowing that I could secretly cheat if I really wanted to just because you can program your ti but not your phone apparently.
