STFU!

Nov 20, 2006 11:26

I just sat through the most useless fucking hour and a half of my life. It was "class discussion" day in my Nutrition class. I say that in quotes because there was very little actual discussion. It mainly consisted of a bunch of soft-talking idiots blabbering away about shit that I could barely even hear. Maybe that's partially due to my rock ( Read more... )

Just do it man; You'd be pleasantly surprised with the results.

I gotta agree with Gautam, just do it. Although, I'd do it in more of a sarcastic manner myself... i.e., address the Prof, "could you speak up please? I can't hear your voice over the incessant chatter of my peers" or something to that effect... not only will they shut up, but you'll get a chuckle from the rest of the class.

Lol. If you were in my class nitz, and if you said that, I'd wanna punch you in the face for sounding pompus.

I'd just use the really lowd SHHHHHHH.

And if they don't, turn around and say, "If you don't want to learn anything, leave. I dind't pay 500 bucks to listen to you."

I believe you missed the point of "or something to that effect". But yeah, what I'm trying to say is that publicly humiliating the chatting group works wonders for them to a) shut up, or b) leave. And you become a hero to everyone around you. WOO!

Man, 90 minutes wasted. That time could have been better spent listening to Def Leppard!

I think the key is to sit right at the front of the class, with all the keeners. Nobody chatty sits up there.

Honestly, most of what you do really depends on how you do it. I think nits' method works well if executed correctly, but then again, so do a lot of them. Then again, you don't know what you're capable of doing until you actually do it. A lot of things are quite sound in theory, but executing them is a very remote probability.

Here's another Nits method for ya:

If you don't feel up to the public speak as I stated above, just turn around (and make sure you do it loud enough so that they notice), and give the talkers are dirty stare. That usually does the trick, although it's more effective the closer you are to them.

But that's only if I'm in a bad mood. In a good mood, I'd just ask 'em to stop. Most people would stop if you just ask nicely.

[as a disclaimer, the method I stated a few days ago was when there was a group of like a dozen or so people all talking with each other, LOUDLY. And was pissing EVERYBODY off. So, yeah. What you do really depends on the situation, I'd say. And no, Reuben, those weren't the exact words used.]
