What would you have said

[Natebishop3]

So I was sitting in my Sustainable Cities class. It's a geography class at PSU. It's boring. I thought it was going to be about how to make the city more sustainable, but the last few classes have been extremely dull.

Today I brought my laptop to class, sat in the way back, and surfed the web for a bit while some guy droned on about how Damascus is trying to fight urban growth. I was listening to him, but I also was posting on here and checking a few other things.

An older guy was sitting next to me. When I say older, I mean like in his 70's. This dude is old. I could tell he was checking out my extracurricular activities.

Class ends, I pack up my stuff, and as I'm about to leave this old guy turns to me and says "why do you come to class?" He had this incredulous look on his face. I was taken off guard, so all I said was "because I have to."

Honestly, this isn't the first time I've fucked around during class. Hell, last wednesday I watched the blazers game during my business continuity class. I find class time to be a waste of time unless it's a very interesting subject. I get good grades, I know how to write papers and take tests.

How would you have reacted to this guy? It got under my skin a bit. Part of me wishes I had said something to the effect of, "why do you come to this class? You're going to be dead in 10-15 years anyway."

I hate nosy people. If I get good grades, I have a method, mind your own fucking business.

Osmosis.

 

[Buzz Killington]

I probably asked him "why"? and if he gave me some lip, I would have told him to worry about his own shit.

 

[BlazerWookee]

"Let me tell you something, old-timer. If I wanted any shit out of you, I'd squeeze your head."

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I would have said, "nice teeth ya got there, gramps", and walked away.

 

[julius]

For the same reason you did old man..For the hot gilfs in class.

 

[hasoos]

I would have told him because it is boring, and that I expected the class to be much better than it is.

 

[Ed O]

I would just reply that I multitask very well, and that going to class without anything else going on often bores me, and it is torturous. By dividing my attention, I remain reasonably entertained and I still manage to get most of the main points from the class.

So I can scope out weak ass old farts to beat up in the parking garage and steal their social security checks?

BNM

This.

 

[DaRizzle]

If you arent disrupting other peoples ability to listen then do whatever you want. I just cant stand the people who whisper for 20min straight like nobody can hear them.

I watch sports all the time in class on my comp...I had people purposly sitting around me to watch MNF last semester, on mute of course

 

[BlazerWookee]

"Because of the shape of your ass. You know what would look terrific on you? Me."

 

[Buzz Killington]

hook up a webcam and stream him live on here next class. that would be epic.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Just show him your threatening "armed and dangerous" avatar with Hello Old Fart underneath the pic.

BNM

 

[drexlersdad]

figure out a way to stealthily kill him.

 

[Eastoff]

hahaha

 

[bintim]

hahaha

Why do you come to class? answer Why haven't you died yet?

 

[LittleAlex]

If attendance is mandatory what choice do you really have? You have to go to get a decent grade no matter how absurdly dumb the lecture might be.


I had several classes that had mandatory attendance where the prof would stand in front of the class and read directly from a power point slide show. Waste of my time.

 

[MARIS61]

Probably just smile and tell him "Have a great day!".

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I would have said: "it is the only place I can surf the net in peace"

 

[BlazerWookee]

"If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I'd fart."

Just out of curiosity who's teaching that class? Is it Porascky by chance? That guy could bore a tree to death.

Nate, I think it was great of you not to resort to the obvious profanity fest.

I think the old guy just has a different mindset. If it's getting to you, it may just be subconscious guilt.

this is the real answer. If you really have to say something just be polite "I'm sorry if I distracted you from your own studies."

The original instructor has been out since the first day after emergency surgery on his gal bladder.

Porascky is overseeing the course until Thomas Harvey returns. We've had two guest instructors, and last Thursday was Porascky's turn. He droned on about trees in the city for two hours. I wanted to shoot myself.

Well, honestly it was fear. Part of me was afraid he was going to turn me in.

Joe is nice, but he really needs to retire.
