I’ve done this, but it was also because the know-it-all-about-military-history-because-he-grew-up-in-Yellowknife-as-he-told-us-every-fucking-time-he-spoke behind me laughed at my answer about something stupid and then I felt like a complete moron and didn’t speak again ever. EXCUSE ME FOR NOT BEING AN EXPERT ON MILITARY HISTORY. THAT IS WHY I TOOK THIS CLASS. TO LEARN. Dick. …And then our not-really-a-prof-because-he-didn’t-finish-his-phd-yet instructor lectured us at the end of the year for ~not speaking up enough~ and said he would fail us because participation is 35% of our grade and I was like “Oh, but this douche behind me can talk all the fuck he wants every class and you call on him every time even if the rest of us have our hands up when we normally don’t participate? I don’t pay for this class to hear him speak for 3/4 of this 3 hour seminar, you know.” Oh well. That kid was actually notorious throughout the History department for being insufferable. I went away for a year to study abroad, came back for fourth year to have classes with people I’d never met before and as soon as his name came up in conversation, EVERYONE went “Ugh, that guy. He was in my class last year and he’s horrible.”
