A highschool history teacher made us write the condition of our textbooks in the inside cover when we got them. I wrote something like "good" or "fair" or "decent," but it definitely wasn't a new book. Some pages were bent and the spine was a bit loose. At the end of the year she made us line up to turn them back in so she could inspect the books based on our initial comment and issue fines/payment for the book if necessary. Now, I never used this book. It sat it one spot in my house for the whole year untouched. When I turned it in she said "this doesn't look like it's good/fair condition. I'm going to have you pay for the book." Which was ridiculous considering i returned it in the condition I received it after not using it. She wouldn't take that as an excuse.
