I cheated once. In high school, long ago. I took an Algebra II class; he was a crappy teacher, he'd given up, he didn't explain anything to anybody. I was a good student and I tried, but math was not my main talent and there was no way I could keep up. So rather than take a bad grade because old Waiting-for-Retirement had given up, I cheated enough to get a "B".
Did I cheat myself? No. I wasn't planning to go into a technical field. I was just fulfilling my college general ed requirement. Of course, if I was taking that class today, as an adult college, I'd probably go to the department head and denounce the teacher as incompetent and get my ass dropped and reenrolled with somebody better.
Never cheated after that.
