Wk92 reminds me of the time when our professor spent 45 minutes talking about the difference between absolute and relative URLs.
45 FUCKING MINUTES!!
I was about to just pack up in and leave mid-class because I couldn't take it anymore. But he noticed, looked at me, then continued talking with the most annoying smug smile on his face.
He knew that if I got another warning, he could get me almost kicked out.
I just sat in the back, headphones in, slowly dying.
And he just smiled...

What the f is there to talk about? The one is from the root, the other one from the current location. What more can you say?

"another warning?!!" How many times has this happened?

I remember doing cs at uni and there were folk in the class who would make such a big deal... huffing and puffing and commenting about how easy something was... when the lecture was about something they knew or understood.

It’s a pretty immature stance. Not everybody knows everything and there may have been some people in the class who struggled with the concept of absolute and relative.

Everything is easy when you understand it. And everything is complex and confusing when you don’t.

There may be an upcoming class where you are struggling and some other dick is being extremely vocal and generally repellant, about how much they already know this shit.

@masterdoctor if you actually read my post you’d see that I never once said the OP was huffing and puffing.

Could you please show me where I said that?

@JohnScott not this specifically, but I had some from another professor who just hated my guts. She had the most arbitrary "rules" and when she thought I was breaking them, I always had a good explanation. Eventually she started reporting every little thing I did wrong, going as far as to ask my other professors to do the same.

@matt961 this was in high school. Skipping even a single lesson was a really big deal for some reason.

@SSDD I get what you mean, but this wasn't one of those situations. The subject was truly trivial, as even the biggest morons in our class understood everything by the 20 minute mark.
This professor was widely known to be completely incompetent at teaching and just generally weird. He would repeat himself constantly, go on random tangents like looking up the origin of someone's name, even finding a student's house on Street View. Sometimes, he would just stop mid-sentence, mutter something, walk out of the classroom and return in a few minutes.

@franga2000 Sounds like teaching induced PTSD.
