Schedule conflicts can be frustrating.

This man shares a story about his special someone who was taking up her master’s degree.

She was also taking paid language classes.

When a schedule conflict arose, she tried to reschedule but the school wouldn’t let her.

Instead of accepting the loss, she came up with a clever workaround.

Won’t move my classes and refusing to give me back my money? Fine by me, I’ll just use your procedures

This is my SO’s story, and it’s short and sweet.

We’re living abroad.

She’s doing her master’s degree.

And studying the local language at her university.

If you pass the exam, you can take the next class.

The language classes are paid-for.

And they push you to sign up (and pay) for the next level during the course of the current one.

All you have to do is pass the exam.

Although if you fail, you get your money back.

And you can retake the exam to start later.

This woman asked to reschedule her language class.

She found out that the university has classes that are conflicting with the language classes.

So, of course, the language classes are secondary in priority.

She calls to reschedule the language classes.

But she was denied.

The school offered a 75% refund only.

They offer to refund 75% of her money.

The rest will be held as administrative fees.

But only if there’s someone else to take her place.

So, she purposely failed the test.

So instead of losing her money and trying to reason with them, she just failed the test instead.

She got her money back.

She’ll sign up later for the next level when there are no scheduling conflicts.

And that test is going to be free as an intake exam.

Let’s find out what others have to say.

They did not think it through, says this one.

Short and straightforward.

This person shares their honest opinion.

And lastly, here’s an idea.

Sometimes, the best way to win is to play by their own rules.

As long as they work in your favor.
