This Troper's father was a AAA hockey player for several years, and he has numerous stories about referee blindness. His personal favorite is an inversion: in one game, an opposing player knocked Dad's helmet off while checking him. Noticing that the ref didn't see it, Dad threw himself to the ice as if he had been shot. The ref looked over and slapped the opposing player with a penalty. You better believe he was mad.

This troper's brother found an unbeatable strategy in Madden NFL 11. It involves stealing the opponent's signals by turning the commentary off, allowing him to listen to the opponent's strategy through voice chat. Only one of his opponents has discovered the strategy, and said opponent was leading 14-0 at the time. Unfortunately, my brother was playing as the Eagles, and ended up winning 31-20 thanks to Michael Vick's GameBreaker status.

I volunteered with a political campaign years agoin, the candidate has since passed on. We were told to (illegally) put posters on lampposts and electrical poles. If spotted they'd be taken down, if not, well ...

This Troper witnessed a rather impressive version of this in (what else?) ''Munchkin''. After a player had just played all of the cards in his hand, he proceeded to pull out another card ''from his sleeve'' and play it, earning himself widespread applause from our group.

Standard procedure in this troper's family, combined with rules lawyering and RefugeInAudacity. A particularly funny instance happened during a game of Liaralso known as "BS" in some circles, when this troper's uncle played his entire had at once and deadpanned "Two aces" (for those unfamiliar with the game, each player is dealt a fraction of the deck; a normal hand is ~20 cards). This troper called him on it... before ''switching hands with his mother'' and winning seconds later.

This troper once had a group project in English class where we all had to read ''TheBrothersKaramazov'' one of those thick Russian novels on top of all our other assignments. This troper was the only one in the group actually ''reading'' the book, the others just moved the bookmark forward two hundred pages or so every night. This troper got yelled at for "reading so slowly."
