As we all know, schools can be ridiculous when it comes to money. Not only did this school have what appears to be a steep tuition, but it also overdoes it with all the fundraising requests. In a particularly unethical move, they required students to write letters to their grandparents asking them to donate money…for a grade!

So what did this student do? She shared via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit that although she did have one living grandparent at the time, that grandparent was a bit out of it at that point. So, the Redditor decided to write her letter and address it to her favorite grandmother's cemetery. She submitted the letter, got a 100, and no one figured out where exactly that letter went.
