hello i spent all weekend studying for finals. however it caused me to forget that on the inside of the front cover i wrote "[bleep] teachers name" in pen. its worth mentioning that these are new textbooks. i just realized it tonight and i have to turn my book in tomorrow. so first i used an entire eraser trying to erase it.. a little bit came off. then i decided that i would pour water onto it. so i poured a little water onto a bottle cap and put it on the effected area and the water didnt penetrate it just beaded up and sat there. so then i decide to go grab some lemon juice. my mom has one of those lemon-shaped containers that contains strong citrus.. i was sure it would work. so after i found that in the pantry and after i went to the bathroom i came back to find the water had not only soaked in but had bled through to the front cover. not only did it bleed through but the ink or whatever material was printed on front of this $80 textbook had faded in large, uneven blotches. it also stained my computer test (my computer desk now has reverse print reading "AMCAN NATI "(american nation). i got a few napkins and tried to dry SOMETHINGup. nothing really worked. so i finally think "AHA! ill just use my thumb and rub off the graffitti now that its soaked. it worked perfect! it really just took so much weight off my shoulders.. until i realized that i also rubbed off the book number, which i needed to hand to book in. fml.

 

moral of the story: don't write stuff about teachers in books.. at least not in pen.

[i agree, your life sucks] [you totally deserved it]

So many things I could say right now. I'm sure one of these would suffice.

 

:huh:

:|

:?

:unsure:

:mellow:

:roll:

 

 

Firstly, an eraser specifically designed for rubbing out ink could have come in handy. But considering you were foolish enough to not only write what did, but then try and...soak the ink out. Bravo Sir =D>

Yeah......Karma sucks, doesn't it?

Funny, same exact thing just happened to me.

=D>

Just explain to the teacher that the number is rubbed off. Instead of looking for your number on the turn-in sheet, your teacher will check you off by name, and tell you the correct number to re-write in your textbook.

 

Or you could just steal someone else's textbook, sell both yours and theirs online, give the school the money you owe them and have some money leftover for a pretty pair of shoes.

 

If it were me I would have just used sharpie to cover up the words in the first place.

Or, say you left it in the cafeteria for a few days, and accidentally switched INSERT CLASS NEMESIS HERE's book, and your book. Infact, this just happened last week! What? Someone cussed you out? IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE CLASS NEMESIS.

 

 

Now, since you're posting on tip.it I will assume you're a genius. And I will now assume your nemesis (if you have one) is a deadbeat. He just failed, you just didn't pay $80.

This is really specific advice for a very general thing (exams).

Me? I would have just killed it with fire... but I guess the next time I have the urge to curse my teacher in one of my books I'll remember what I learned today and avoid the whole situation!

Do they not have white out in your country?

1. Don't write something stupid like that in the first place.

2. Scribble over it in pen, say your young cousin did it or something.

3. Cover over it with tipex.

 

A few sensible steps you missed out there :rolleyes:

 

Should have used this.

hello thank you all for your kind words. today i checked the book and it was completely dry but the front cover was still discolored in spots. i told my teacher that it fell into the sink in the bathroom sometime during the year and, since i had a book cover on it, i didn't notice until now. she bought it. though on the inside it was obvious that the book number was rubbed out, i told her that i was sure it was my book and offered no explanation. she doesn't like me too much (she was a little pissed off but obviously preoccupied), but i was surprised that she told me i would be off the hook if EVERYBODY handed their books in and nobody reported a missing/stolen book. she told me to wait for announcements at the end of the second exam, and if my name was called, there was a problem. after my bio exam my name wasn't called on announcements. thank god. i even went into her room later to tell her to have a happy summer. phew

unfortunatly i could not do this because on the back page of the book (which she checks aswell) is an obvious list of everyone who has had the book. of course, only my name was there so that wouldn't have worked. i think the combination of the fact that i had a booksock on it and that she was too busy to care greatly helped me out.

I just broke down into tears reading this.

*Guides noble_aloof to the "Intelligence Blunders" thread and locks the door*

 

 

You thought of lemon juice before you thought of white out? :-k

 

Hmm...

Good luck on those finals, you're gonna need it.

Tipex. Why in the world did you not use tipex.

...wait.

I'm still trying to figure out what this has to do with finals.

White out? Just scribble it over with a pen and pay a small 5 bucks fine? WAKE UP DUDE.

Looked over this thread several times because I don't have finals, but damn, I do not regret coming in here.

That'd be suspicious as hell, considering the book was new... But he could always say someone else wrote something bad and he just covered it up, lol

 

I never like telling someone what they SHOULD'VE done, cuz you can't go back in [bleep]ing time, and they sure as hell won't do it again, so...

 

noble, I liked the story. I'm glad you didn't end up in deep [cabbage].
