I hate the guy in my pos class that ALWAYS asks a question that the professor just answered.

"we will have the exam on tuesday and i would suggest doing the exercises at the end of each chapter to study. Im not going to hand out a study guide because I think you re ll very capable people."

hand raised

"Wait, the test is one Tuesday?

"... yes"

"is there some kind of worksheet or study guide that we can use?"

"... no"

"what should we study?"

"just dont"

When I was in college, there was this kind of student that I absolutely could not stand. I dubbed him the "Conversation Dominatin' White Guy." I was a Chicano Studies minor and I swear there was one in every class, some white dude who just could not shut up about himself and was always trying to impress everyone with how enlightened he was.

Come to think of it, there were some of those in high school, too. Those guys need to shut the fuck up.

When you get to grad school, at least in the social sciences, those students are almost always females (often older, non-traditional students). Of course that could be just my department - where at least 5 in 7 admittted to the program are female... which almost certainly increases the odds of getting an obnoxious little nightmare of a woman in the class. Plus all students are expected to at least try to dominate the conversation in a grad seminar, else you clearly aren't competitive enough. Some folks negotiate that setting better than others. I won't speculate on the psychology of this, just reportin' on what I've seen over the last decade.

if it's any consolation, your conversation dominatin' white guy usually crashes & burns when they get to grad school. it's a wonderful setting for a humbling.

yeah fuck that guy/chick too, s/hes a dick and he thinks s/hes better than everyone else. I like that they dont usually know more than anyone else in the class but they presen themselves as if they have incredibly unique and abstract ideas. douchebags


oh and I hate when they try to make the professor look bad/argue or talk down to the professor in any way. its rude and makes them look stupid

that was my undergrad experience, too. if there was an older student (regardless of gender) you could bet the farm they were going to speak up and share their life experiences or whatever. just shut the fuck up, man, i'm hungover.

i was in a class (i don't remember if it was geography or sociology) and the professor was talking about the impacts of infectious diseases on population, and this older guy (whom we dubbed "fenster") chimes in and says something like "the sad thing is that it's so easy to prevent diarrhea in young children..." and goes on to talk about how to cure it for like 30 seconds. and the rest of us, including the prof, are looking at him with the "are we really talking about diarrhea?" face.

also, this grinds my gears: when somebody leaves me a convoluted meandering voicemail at work that's like 2 minutes long, then they get to the end and give me their phone number, and they say it super fast. so then i have to listen to the whole goddamn thing over again to try and get their number right if i didn't catch it the first time because our voicemail system sucks balls. hey, fuckface, if you want me to call you back, maybe try enunciating your phone number.

oh, and anyone who calls and says "hi tony, it's john" (or whatever name). no last name, no company name, just a first name. on account of us being so close. or even worse, "hey, it's me". because i only deal with about 200 people a day, so of course i know who the fuck you are.

Is the aroma in your office right now grinding any gears? Lubing them?

i would be into this but i know that tony doesn't like camping or pickles (wtf i know right? ) and that knowledge is just not turning me on right now

[differently biotic]

yep, fatboy slim... and I like that song. haha It's great for working out and it always makes me think of the dance scene in She's All That which is fun!

that song, walk it out by unk and salmon dance by chemical brothers are great when you need a little extra energy in your step on a cardio machine.

i gotta do something to keep the ladies at bay. can you imagine how hectic my life would be if i actually did enjoy pickles and camping? there would be trim everywhere. i'd have to wear a hazmat suit to keep the juices off my sweater vest.
