Okay, so I was in my psychology class and all of a sudden this guy comes in through the door. Now a guy coming in to the classroom is not a unusual sight, but this guy was different, it was how he did it. He swung that door open so fast that I think it shocked the two students by the door. Then he stormed over to the teacher and started yelling at her.
Student: "I need to talk to you."
Teacher: "Can it wait? I am in the middle of a lecture."
S: "No, it can't wait. My grades have been slowly slipping down and you keep failing me on all of my tests and my homework, yet you don't say anything to me about what I did wrong."
T: "Please, can we talk about this later, I am teaching a class."
S: "I'm sorry for this class, but we need to talk. This is stupid, do you just not like me or something?! I am a senior and I only have two more months to go and you keep failing me. I need to pass your class to graduate. I've tried emailing you and you never respond, so I thought that we could just talk about it here, since you obviously don't have enough time for me otherwise."
T: "Let's..."
S: "No!"
T: "Here, I will talk to you, but only outside."
With that they left...
Now for your information it was a setup. We were talking about memory and how during stressful situations, our brain tends to remeber every detail. Thankfully, I caught on quickly and I actually started laughing to myself.
Afterwards the teacher asked us what he was wearing so she could "report" him to the campus safety officers. I'll tell you this... in the split seconds where I thought it was real, I somehow managed to remember what he was wearing to a T. It was pretty awesome.
It was actually kind of funny, because the girl in front of me didn't realize what was going on and started to freak out. Afterwards she said she felt her sympathethic nervous system (fight or flight) start to kick in, but unfortunately she didn't remember anything.
FYI: The student was actually passing the class, he was going to graduate, and when he was about to leave he hugged the teacher and gave the class an awkward wave good bye.
Gosh I love my psych class, nothing boring ever happens!
