University student tries to plagiarize classmate's work, classmate turns the tables and makes her look like a fool: 'Five years later, I discovered [the professor] routinely showed it to students as a warning'

When one university student reached out to a classmate for help with her paper, she had no idea she was about to walk right into an epic prank. Desperate to finish her report before the deadline, the student asked for a look at her classmate's work, claiming she just needed some guidance on structure and presentation. What happened next was nothing short of astonishing.

After receiving the original paper, she sent back her version for proofreading—only to have her classmate discover that she had essentially plagiarized the entire thing. Rather than confront her directly, the classmate decided to get creative. She went through the paper and made some hilarious changes, swapping out key terms with vulgarities, turning the methodology into a Bolognese recipe, and even inserting recent NFL scores in place of the data table.

To top it all off, she changed the references to characters from Harry Potter and rewrote the conclusion as a confession of plagiarism. Little did the would-be plagiarist know, she didn't even notice the changes and submitted it as is. Cue the spectacularly embarrassing lesson in the consequences of cheating!
