Someone got away with $1,500 in cash trivia winnings at a metro Detroit bar by…cheating at trivia. I recently learned this from a Facebook comment thread.
I have no idea how this person cheated – aside from the garden-variety means – using a smart phone to look up answers. The place was in a Detroit suburb- and the thievery apparently took place over a couple of years before he got busted to by the bar’s management. The trivia spot – which I will not name here – gave away cash prizes for first place.
Now, the bar has the player’s name posted on the wall in the offices and I presume he’s banned from the place.
My own trivia team has been in a bit of a slump lately. But when we do manage to do well, gosh darn it – we come by our answers honestly!
Years ago, a trivia “comrade” sent me a photo of players who were busted for cheating in trivia. Seriously, why do people think this is worth the risk? Maybe I’m too much of a Girl Scout for my own good, but…it’s just so…wrong! Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout.
SMH at the audacity of these people! Shame on you lousy cheaters! May my fist get tired from shaking it at you! Then I’ll switch fists!
