When this person’s hand shoots up everyone groans. Some days the class will start groaning when said person walks in because it’s the only way to drown out her opinions for the duration of the class. Oh, I should mention that about 99% of the time this person is a non-traditional student. You know who I mean—the lady that struts in with her backpack rolling along behind her. She’s fabulously decorated in popular mall wear while she tries to blend in with the class. However, as much as she tries to appear like one of the traditionals, she always has a story rooted in how she attended this university in ’91. Good cover, lady. You’re blending right in with the strung out sophomore next to you.
Anyway, this pain in the ass is the reason why you never get out of class early. Might I add that I feel quite terrible for you if you have this person in a night class. Further, not only will she answer questions and lead class discussions, she will argue any and everything—especially facts. What’s worse is that when this person speaks, only about 1 of every 25 things said is absolutely correct. This bitch pulls out unworldly figures to support her opinion. When she figures out that she’s way off from the actual point, she pulls in one of those life stories for flare.
So what’s my advice to this pain in the ass? Easy: shut up already!
