So classes have started back up around the country and already I’m forced to share the campus with disruptive assholes. Fuck class clowns, and fuck the spew of internet apologia about how they must be tragic figures that deal with a lot at home. A lot of kids who make it a point to play the main character and fuck around in class (college btw, full grown adults) are just desperate for attention or just like to “troll”
I had one guy who was just loudly replying to everything the teacher had to say during syllabus review, even when he had nothing to add and it was painful. I can’t tell if he thought he was being funny or if he just wanted to be rude for no reason, but no one was laughing. Teacher talks about his past, the guy makes it a point to interrogate him about why he dropped out of school or what he did at his other jobs. Teacher brings up a quote and asks who made it, the guy makes a Captain Obvious “joke” about how he’s a guy named xyz. Eventually the professor just stopped acknowledging him. This was the first day, and this dude woke up and chose to be a pain. Who does that?
There’s nothing scarier to me than a grown man who acts like a 6 year old.
I swear this has only gotten worse since everyone’s so on edge about…everything that they would much rather just act like nothing is wrong so the person doesn’t fucking snap and try to hurt someone.
That was way too common in the first 2 years of college for me, and it didn’t know an age limit neither. At least there were no clowns in my major courses.
I also must say some people are very awkward and have 0 filter for whatever reasons, it could be that as well rather than deliberate trolling. Generally you get a sense of which is what though.
