42. I used to work in a school for troubled kids
and despite brushes with the law, despite an in-your-face hatred for authority and constant disruptions in class, there were parents that would INSIST the teacher, security, the vice principal and every witness to events was either lying or wrong. Their kid would not do what everyone had seen him/her do. It happened time and again.

Oh, and I might add, many of those parents went to the same school when they were young.
