So my professor yelled at a guy tonight for checking his blackberry during class.
REALLY yelled.
As in your father is super mad at you for crashing the family car into a retaining wall, yelled.
I have never been yelled at like that before - EVER.
Turns out the guy, a hill staffer, was on call because his boss was having a town hall. His Chief of Staff emailed him a question. You CAN'T not answer an email from your boss/COS. At least not an email like that.
We were talking about Socialism, Fascism,
Communism, Marxism, Trotskyism and the Bolshevik so my professor was particularly animated generally. I thought it was part of the lecture for about 5 seconds.
But nope, he was telling the kid that 'if he had something better to do, he should do it'.
I wanted to pipe up and say, 'look man, you are pontificating about Karl Marx'. Dude is trying to do his job - you know, the job that pays his mortgage and feeds his kids???
Anyway, if he would have yelled at me, I probably would have told him to F off.
Not so good for the grade point average, me thinks.
