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.
I probably asked him "why"? and if he gave me some lip, I would have told him to worry about his own shit.
I would have told him because it is boring, and that I expected the class to be much better than it is.
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. Ed O.
So I can scope out weak ass old farts to beat up in the parking garage and steal their social security checks? BNM
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
Just show him your threatening "armed and dangerous" avatar with Hello Old Fart underneath the pic. BNM
