"Dr. Quiet" — Name Changed to Protect the Guilty

Talkin' with a cruel dude


"Dude, dude," he said, to the college professor. "Why do you think you're such a God?"

The professor looked at the kid and muttered, "Maybe you better sit down."

He had arrived for a meeting with his English 201 course. The professor normally taught economics, but had offered to teach a section of ENG 201A to the English department.

The kid accidentally signed up for 201A, thinking it was no different than 201. He should have read the fine print.

The professor, Dr. Quiet (names have been changed to protect the guilty), clearly had no use for college freshmen and sophomores. His actions spoke loudly.

He asked all students to schedule a meeting with him to discuss their semester–long "research project."

The kid knocked and the professor said, "What?"

"Ah, I have a 6 o'clock appointment."

"Yea."

"I'm here for it."

"Okay ..."

"Dude, dude, why do you thinking you're such a God?"

"What is your problem?" he asked.

"Well, you're just plain rude to everyone. You act like you're better than all of us, and you clearly hate us."

"Whoa, what makes you think that?"

"Your comments, actions—all of it," the kid stammered.

"Well, let's get down to business."
