Today, after finishing a huge French essay, I realized my printer wasn't working. So, I emailed it to a guy in my class to print and then give to me. When I get to French, he said he had already turned his in early and never got my email. It turned out he used mine. I got an F on the essay. FML

WAYS TO AVOID THIS SITUATION: Take the paper with you to school, print it out at a lab. Take the paper with you to Kinko's, print it out there. Finish and print your paper earlier than the night before. Email your paper to French teacher. Go to a neighbor's house, print it out there. Email it to a REAL friend outside of your class, ask them to print it out and get confirmation that they are. WAYS TO SCREW UP: Email it to a guy in your class and assume he'll get it and dutifully print it out. Don't follow-up over the phone or anything. You're welcome.

i call fake. or you're an idiot. you'd have be an idiot to let that slide. go put it on a flash drive, show the teacher your email to the guy. anything. you can prove you wrote it. it's not like you can accidentally have a verbatim copy on your computer.

Or, you could have finished it early and not on the last minute and then put it on a USB to print at a library.

#2 has it on the nail. This is completely your fault. However, as stated earlier you have proof. Use it.

Yep, you should still have the e-mail which probably asked him to please print this and bring it to class for me or something along those lines. This should be easy to fix though. I've known a**holes that have tried to pull stuff like this before and it sucks.

Wow, that's... If you haven't already, I'd contest the grade with proof of your sent e-mail (if your e-mail saves them, I know some don't) and the essay on a flash drive, because that's not right. Or did your teacher think that you were the one who plagarized when you handed it in at a later date? WTH is everyone saying this is her fault? Maybe the OP and this guy were friends - it could have been quite late when she (sorry if you're male) e-mailed him. Yes, okay, maybe it's a lesson in why procrastination doesn't work, but it's not like she knew he was going to turn out to be an asshole who is a cheater.
