with this Long Talker who's got University of High School Syndrome and needs a Shampoo Ambush to shut UP?

What to DO?

SamIam · 10-18-2009, 10:21 PM

Ummmm... Ignore him/her?

Trilby · 10-18-2009, 10:51 PM

I've tried. really, really tried. I'm making myself sick over it. That i don't need. I told the teach that I was out of ativan and this guy needed to shut up. I've sent an email to her about it tonight. I can't sleep this guy makes me so nervous.

Ok what's the question again? lol!

Juniper · 10-18-2009, 11:59 PM

Just deal, darlin' -- can't be more than what, five weeks left?

Or you could just stand up and tell the fool to STFU.

There's a guy in one of my classes that's driving me nuts, too. He has complained about his horrible experience in high school, and we all went "awww..." but damn, I've rarely met a more self-centered dimwit. The only diff between HS and this shit is that college folks are too damn NICE. Some people just deserve to get their asses kicked. In fact a good ass-kicking would be a fine step on the road to higher education.

Stop using deodorant.

I haven't been rash with this - I've sought input from others, reflected on it ( if I could take it; you know, be a grown up about it, etc) and finally the answer is this guy is harshing my experience so badly that I am up on Sunday night thinking about how I'm going to have to deal with him. That shouldn't happen in a Uni setting - there should be some sort of control on behalf of the teach. I didn't pay XXX number of dollars to listen to his asshat lecture me. Plus, he's genuinely stupid. I shouldn't have to deal just because the prof is spineless.

Prepare a speech about him & keep it with you. Next class when he starts rambling interrupt him and then just go right into you speech.

What is the class and why does he think what he is saying is relevant/appropriate? and is this the same guy Juni is talking about?

an english class - american lit with lots of slave stuff (twain, dunbar, and narratives) and he's -yup- an "expert" due to some fluke of genetics. feel me?

he thinks his farts are relevant/appropriate. different guy from Juni -she and I are only in one class and I try to be the PITA in that one.

monster · 10-19-2009, 10:18 AM

Oh yes, I feel your pain. tough one that. did the prof respond to your email? How was class today?

hmm googling both those terms brings up this thread as 4th and 5th in the hits with mostly the urban dictionary above. I suspect brianna of being an Urban Dictionary contributor/phrase coiner

Major fail, Bri. Try harder.

Learning to deal with challenging people is a life skill. I don't do it well, but I'm improving.
