RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Donβt ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

This is common behavior, people just have underdeveloped brains under 25 and are clueless. the younger the folks the more likely but op claims they already should be past that so looks like they have some developmental delays
Typically redditor behavior is learning one or two things about someone and thinking then making grand claims about who the person is or what they do. It's some seriously delusional shit, childish shit. Grow up.
As a former teacher, fuck you asshole
as a former student, actually, fuck you too
it makes sense that you so smugly declare this knowledge, "people can hear me". wow. and of course "being rude is contagious". well right back at you, prick.
no I'm not joking. you brag about being an asshole, I'm going to treat you like an asshole
Wahhhhhh π
Honestly who cares about few minutes when you can learn something more, I am there to listen. If I want to chat or play games on my phone like my mates I just won't show up at all cause what's the point. What's the point of going to the lecture and playing on your phone?
Similarly, few minutes at the end won't save me and If I really need to go I can just go to exit at any time, quietly.
I spend big money for these minutes so I am gonna make use of all of them. I paid for it
LOL. I've seen that happen many times. One of my classmates also did that intentionally every now and then.
It was a different country, different system etc. so USA specific things didn't apply. I totally get it why everyone here seems to be so outraged about it, but in this case, it was mostly harmless fun.
Here's how it usually went. You make some close up noises, and watch how other students start packing even though we're nowhere near done yet. The point is that you only make the noises, but don't actually put your books in your backpack. People react to that noise, and assume that everyone else is also packing up already. You have effectively triggered an avalanche. Some people eventually started heading for the door, and that's when the teacher realized what was happening, and had to tell everyone to calm down and take a seat.
see now THAT'S funny! op just a jerk
It's literally the same thing. Wtf are you talking about?
Lmao, this happened in High School and the teachers were like: "Why are you all packing up? Class is not over" then when the bell rings: "tHe bELl doESn't diSmISS yOu, i dO!"
Ughhh I hate noise from students in lectures, main reason for when I don't show up
yeah right? I have ADHD and I can barely focus in silence, let alone with all the stuff people tend to do during lectures (even eating pickles). More often than not there seems to be whole meetings going on and unless I sit somewhere in the front I will end up talking too or spectating some league of legends gameplay
This is annoying because on the one hand you want to see what people are up to but on the other I pay for the lectures and want to learn so I am constantly maddeningly torn between daily socialization and learning
What a waste of time and money, and holy unbelievably disrespectful. If itβs not undergrads just playing on their phone or computer the whole time they do this. Why even go to college?
It's college. You're literally paying to be there so you're short changing yourself and your classmates.
If want to leave early, get the fuck up and go. You're an adult. Act like it.
College adjunct instructor checking in:
Your teacher is human. They are there because they want to help you get the information that you need to be a successful person as an individual and in society. They see the class packing up early and it really stings because they care about you and their subjectβs impact on the world.
If you donβt want to be an educated member of a democracy, just save yourself the student loan bills and donβt come in the first place.
I mean yeah but it's awkward as shit and might make your professor hate you, and no good can come out of that.
Joke's on you, the college was giving me a full ride π
So is OPβs mom, doesnβt mean you canβt still leave early if you want
The only one finishing too fast here is OP
You were paying for that time that you wasted.
This reminds me of high school and the teachers yelling at people who tried to do this. Most of them wouldn't let us put our stuff away until the bell and then the next teacher expected us to be there at the bell, amazing.
In the UK we had to be told explicitly not to move before or after the bell rang, until the teacher said we were allowed to (which usually wasn't long after to be fair). Wed all been conditioned by American movies were they just get up immediately to leave, lol
American movies were they just get up immediately to leave
Real American classrooms are not like the movies lol. Hollywood is all a lie
But, but... I saw it on TV. It has to be true.
"tHeY aRe eATinG tHe dAwGs!" -some weirdo
Quick, switch the bat-signal on!
Hahah i forgot that i did that too, more so because I was fascinated how well it worked. Kinda like a social experiment
During high school I'd always hang around the class room after class to chat with the teachers; mostly because a large part of the other students were bullying me at the time and I wanted to avoid them/take my mind off of things.
