Well I hope he likes me grinding on him
bzinseattle
He's late on purpose, he likes a girl in the class and is trying to show her his moves
Gianttesticlemonster
Slayen2k
I've known more than a few people who would be encouraged by this to be late more often so they could do the dance.
Kaykorvid
Had a professor demand a quarter for everyone that was late. Only taught forums. At the end of the year it was all donated to local charity.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
he is too well dressed, that must be community college
Jaanzi
Twenty minutes late class? Just walk in like Neil Patrick Harris performing a musical number.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
That's a shitty professor
FeelingSpry
Or you could just tell him to fuck off
NorthernBoy94
Full grown man in a stripper outfit walks in late and looks him dead ass in the face, "Want me to dance for you?"
AnLushanDidNothingWrong
Was he trying to do the Stick it and Roll it dance?
gr8whtd0pe
Who wears a shirt and tie to a college class?
LavaAxe
I doubt the whole post is genuine. That's probably the teacher. Maybe not even college.
turdfergy
Right!? Way to try too hard bud
Frogfox
People who also have work before or after.
Glitterbrisket
That's not college...that guy is dressed in grown up clothes!
InTheBeginningWasTheNerd
When I was at uni, the general rule was you wait 15 minutes. If the professor doesn't show up, the class is off. Who cares about students?
[deleted]
Exactly.
DavidBrooker
You're a fucking adult. Come late, leave late, don't come at all, I don't care I'm not your babysitter. Just don't disturb my class.
Like this prof is disturbing his own class.
Chandraven

The prof's gonna get sued in no time and then tarred and feathered and they'll make him use the weirdest pronouns
Learnedtocryinternally
I think that guy just likes being late for class
Sheepyhead
When I did university, learning things was your own responsibility.
ajohn7211
Which ends up being more of a distraction to the class than just showing up late. Congratulations, you played yourself
Two minutes of fun ain't going to ruin any class.
PatrikLilja
In my high school they looked the door for 15 minutes and then let people in so we had everyone late arriving simultaneously. 1/2
That was high school. In three different universities I've attended, nobody has ever cared if you were late. 2/2
Tassyr
"No."
AnApologeticCanadian
Some of my college classes run in the number of 200 to 300 students. Smaller ones have 60 to 90. Thats a lot of dancing.
AgentHomo
Based on the gif alone I assume it's a lot smaller than your estimates. It's most likely a small liberal arts college with a class of twenty
PanicAtTheCostco
Right? Dancing because you’re late is definitely more high school than college
Headstereo
Its also very distracting which seems to be the reason they started disliking tardies.
Right.... a joke. Like high school. Well at least in Nevada anyway

Professors have the authority to kick you out of the classroom
6KidsInATrenchcoat
I’m looking forward to that meeting with the principal. “She refused to get up and dance in front of the whole class!”
IPostAboutPoliticsIfYouDontLikeItSuckIt
As a Professor and Department Chair, that’s not a battle I’m taking, because I’d likely lose it and it’s detrimental to learning.
Love to hear the administration's answer to a formal complaint of"I got kicked out because I refused to dance in front of the whole class."
Squintz
Or I got kicked out of class for being late
echonite
I actually did. Granted it was a string of lates thanks to getting rides from my sister. Long story short I got back in.
LitchLitch
Fine, then come by my office and we'll process your exit from the class.
BtownMountain
"no.". Seriously the professor would lose that fight. 100%.
You’d absolutely lose that fight. Unless, perhaps, you’re teaching at Trump U.
It's in the syllabus.
And? Admin has the right to say "That's unreasonable." A syllabus isn't a stone slate from the gods, no matter what a professor's ego says.
Never heard of tenure, have you?
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Wow, you sound like a real cunt
You dealt with many professors?
Yup, after shenanigans like graded tests being sprung on me at 7pm the day before and getting kicked out of graded tests for having water...
...(when others had Powerade sitting up on a PC tower), I can safely say many professors are just cunts who use the position to abuse others
Jorrdann
Id tell him to go fuck himself
whosagoodboy92
he'd probably tell you to get out of his class
SaikyoStyle
Not sure why you're downvoted. If I were to be told to shut the fuck out I'd throw them out in an instant.
questionableanswers
And then you go to the faculty head and get him shat on until he either fixes his attitude or gets fired.
They'll probably tell you you need to go to your safe zone and stop being a snowflake.
Someone takes their education seriously. Must be a snowflake. That's some amazing logic you have there.
Not serious enough to make it to class in time, apparently.
As a student you pay far too much to be a professors puppet. You're all adults. Come and go when you please. Ifyou fail you failed yourself.
Pay or don't, the class is not yours to run as you please. Others paid as well and might not want to watch people come and go as they please
Sorry but they're correct. I pay for the class. If I have to be late, it's on me. As long as you aren't disruptive coming in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
I'm putting odds that he's been practicing that dance in a mirror and ran late on purpose to drop it like it's hot in front of class
LtKifKroker
So why does he look like a bitch
saucelord
no bet
I got a feeling that's the professor.
LoudBirb
So would you, if your moves were that spicy.
Meemal
He even dressed for it.
PiGiSpi
Most definitely just has natural skills from the most likely gay clubs he frequents. It's pretty hot!
delilahviolet
Seriously. No one dresses up like that in college. He was prepared
lnboxMeYourPUGS
What? Dressed up? That’s what I have to do for my business classes
Well that's cool. At my college if a kid was dressed up they were likely a freshman. Jeans and t shirts were norm. Lots of pajamas too tho
No one dresses up for presentations?
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
Not at my college. Went to a state university.
Nipplebuttsalad
So that's why I see people around my uni in full formal attire
Yeah, I had a couple coworkers who had to take business classes and they were forced to dress not full formal but business formal for class.
We’re expected to dress up nicely for presentations as well so there’s that
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
if so, he needs a few more hours in front of the mirror. looks like he’s having a seizure.
Are you not white? Many of my people are without rhythm
yes i’m white. but that was painful to watch... worse than a white guy awkward shuffle.
I have seen so much worse, add booze and music and the results can be haunting
strugglesnuggler
We are a proud race with a rich history of two left feet.
Unless you're Irish, then you have a he dancing of the river
matthiasfactor
Or what? You get a tardy? Bitch please this is college.
Ceistebi
My students aren't allowed in after 10 minutes of the class starting. 4 absences= I can fail you. I won't, but I could by policy.
CertifiedAgreer
Isn't that a great fucking policy. You missed some of the lecture? Oh too bad you'll have to miss the rest of it as punishment.
Sammyv17
Why after 10 minutes? Maybe there was a crash on the highway. Some class is better than no class since they paid for it.
Just because you paid for it doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want because it ain't tailor-made for you and only you.
Exactly. I'm there to teach many people. I can't drop everything to catch you up.
AStegosaurus
Because enforcing arbitrary bullshit makes some people feel powerful. The amount of disturbance to a class is basically zero anyway, but
the amount of difference between the disturbance caused by entering at 9:59 past start and 10:01 past start is exactly zero.
The line has to be drawn somewhere. Let that line slip and there is no line. Next it's "the diff between 10:01 and 10:03 is zero"
Because by the time 10minutes has passed i'm already well into the first activity. Standards have to be set. Try walking into work late 1/2
and see how that works. Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. I was having people walk in 40 mins late and expecting me to catch them up.
nah he would just fail your ass or grade your shit hard as fuck
DadddyWarlord
Thank God we live in 2018 if a teacher did that for personal reasons. (s)he would be fired.
right, but if that's how they act toward everyone they would be fine
keltacrunch
And the second he does you bring that to the dean and get him fired and your class paid for/passed automatically.
? if you are repeatedly tardy to class they are allowed to fail you, they dictate the grade and can base points on attendance
They can't intentionally mark you down on other assignments because you refuse to cooperate when they make you dance in class.
no. but they can for being late, he is just being nice and letting you off for dancing
Jbawsome
That would only motivate me to ditch of I was running late
Wellblaine
You can dance if you want to
inverseCosinePadawanmeme
This would motivate me to show up late...
Thats the point.
blinkingcuntbeacon
That's the point. If you're late, you're interrupting the class, but if you ditch you've only screwed yourself.
communicationbreakdown
Went to University in Australia. if anyone was late to a lecture or tute, generally the professor was just happy that you decided to turn up
dwilson0725
Thats generally the reaction with American professora as well. Ive only ever had one that wouldnt allow late people to attend lecture.
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
^^ currently at uni here in Aus. Can confirm. Although I did have this one cunt of a teacher that got mad at me one for being 5 minutes late
ButWhyThough
Professors in the US seem to be really self important tbh Australia sounds nice. Aside from the terrifying moving and stationary life.
Mrginger128
As it is if i'm going to be 5 minutes late I don't show up. This would cement that. I know it's weird but I just CAN'T be late.
D33RLORD
College gave me major anxiety regarding punctuality, took me a few years to notice, get over it now it only gets worse.

MrListerTheSisterFisterAndListersSisterTheFisterResistor
I like how you had the same characters and spelling errors as the first guy
I used to drink when I was running on time, too.... possibly why I never finished my degree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, but so does running early or running on tine, face it, you have a drinking problem.
Can't tell if joking or not, truthfully.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Judging from his other replies, I'd say not.
TheBullshitter
Well, maybe I have a drinking solution tol. Have you thought about that?
ALegendaryHero
Yeah,and it goes by C2H6O
Themuricanpole
WeAllEnjoyOurVegemite
ThAT was the funniest joke I also still bring it out occasionally
DasPenetrator
My professor ripped me for 5 min in front of the entire class when I was 2 mins late Hypocritical I know I missed class everytime I was late
Best part was there were 3 more people who came after me and they were 10-15 minutes late
Typical bullying behavior, going for what they think will be an easy target, what a psycho.
Juggalomidgetparty
Same thing happened in 2004 with this one prof and me being 5 minutes late. I just dead stared him the entire time and just sat down.
AnonOmis1000
I would have just said "fuck you cunt" and turned and left. Then again I'm no longer a college student.
Kaplar
That just means he can't fail you!
Tbh after my first year I think I was done enough with college to not take shit like that. Luckily I didn't have to find out.
Xedi22
“Are you done, so we can be adults now?” ...or similar. Works wonders...or you get kicked out/fired/etc. :)
cyndrin
That'll fucking shut your teacher up, that's for sure. You'd take the wind out of their sails and they'd tell you to just go sit down
JHawke
Just sit down, ignore him. It's a teacher, what are they going to do.
You missed two minutes, but by coming in late you disrupt the class for at least five minutes.
IProvideFakeContext
You greatly overestimate the shits college students give about their classmates.
SeratedScrotum
for being late is the only real distraction you gimp. (3)
ThatRandomCanadian
No, you disrupt it for a 20 seconds typically. The teacher disrupts for at least 5 minutes going on about being late causing disruptions.
GravyEducation
Real prof would be like "late again, Steve? Have a seat." It's enough to call it out. We're all adults here let's move on with it
you aren't distracting anyone for longer than a moment or two. That five minutes that the professor used to "lecture" the student (2)
thesmugdemon
I'm more distracted by the women who put perfume on in the middle of class than the late people. Their perfume messes with my breathing.
That's a load of bullshit mate. Nobody gives two shits and would be distracted for a maximum of ten seconds. Unless you storm in, (1)
It is a lot more disruptive than you think, particularly in a small class. Even if it seems like nothing, EVERYONE notices. It disrupts all.
FartBoxExtract
QuartzPigeon
What pansy ass classes are you in
The one with numbers and addition and good job prospects. So a small class.
Probably gender studies
I have a small class people enter at front next to the whiteboard so everyone can see. It's disruptive for 20 seconds.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
Fuck not even 20. More like 3.
I have a small class, people enter at front next to the whiteboard so everyone can see. It's disruptive for 20 seconds tops.
Ah, the egotistic and asinine excuse professors give for jumping at the chance to abuse their power.
bongles
meanwhile they waste 15 minutes ranting about it every time
joeys2323
As fucking if, you come in and grab a seat at the back. Unless you storm in on the phone blasting music, you ain't disrupting anything
jrblast
And, depending on the class, you can come in the back door, which is even less disruptive still.
Exactly. Its just the sound of the door opening that's it. Not even like I walked across the students line of sight or anything
In my class you have to walk in front of everyone to grt a seat. It's disruptive for 20 seconds or less.
forte10
Some classes have a minimum number that can be skipped before failing. I wouldn't waste a rare absence I might need due to illness.
Which is a crock of shit in the first place. If you know the material, you know the material, that's kind of what you're there for.
Ive had teachers mark you down for absences and others let me retake exams near the last moment possible cause its a scan tron and not a big
deal apparently.
It depends on the professor. Some really can and do abuse it to attack people they dislike, you'd be shocked what they can get away with.
I actually don't know the reason for the rule. But in vet tech school, for most classes, I think you could miss a maximum of 10%-30%.
The reason for the rule is social conditioning and an egotistical desire to exercise power over others in the form of arbitrary rules.
There's also a monetary greed incentive; if you fail because of that, it's not like you'll just drop out, you'll pay to take it again.
Utael
Good don't interrupt the class that cost me $800 to take.
normalizetherapy
I think he was talking about the professor interrupting their lecture by focusing on a late student for 5 min. wasting everyone’s time.
ElbowDeepInIt
If someone opening a door and taking a seat interrupts your focus, do I have some bad news about the professional workplace.
True. College snowflakes need to realise that the real world is not some safe space bubble, it doesn't give a crap about your sensitivities.
Well in my experience the ‘safe space’ isn’t the students’ fault. Colleges are treating them like children who are unable to make decision.
It is when they personally demand it & slander anyone who mocks it, they're not just victims of someone else's idea, it's their ideology too
Maybe he has a new form of ADD. One that makes someone with ADD or ADHD seem focused as a neurosurgeon?
sedkitty03
Having ADD doesn't necessarily mean you can't focus on anything. It's different for each person, but some experience heightened focus on...
subjects in which they have extreme interest. For example, I have ADD and usually had a difficult time focusing during math class, but when
s3nd
If being on time is hard for you, I have some bad news about the professional workplace too.
To clarify - I don't think he is right to do this. I am just say that being on time is widely accepted as a better move than being late.
DietCokeIsTheBest
People are always late to meetings, calls etc. Because it’s the work place and things crop up. You just walk in and carry on.
This is true, but learning to be on time is nonetheless a key quality.
I drive an hour through Houston traffic. They're pretty flexible within reason. I don't know what concentration camp you work in.
When I have a meeting at 10am, they generally expect me to be tjere at 10am. That's all.

I used to drink when I was running on time, too.... possibly why I never finished my degree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LitchLitch
Yeah, but so does running early or running on tine, face it, you have a drinking problem.
BoomIgotyourwalletBoomIgotyourphilliestickets
Can't tell if joking or not, truthfully.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Judging from his other replies, I'd say not.
TheBullshitter
Well, maybe I have a drinking solution tol. Have you thought about that?
ALegendaryHero
Yeah,and it goes by C2H6O

ThAT was the funniest joke I also still bring it out occasionally
DasPenetrator
My professor ripped me for 5 min in front of the entire class when I was 2 mins late Hypocritical I know I missed class everytime I was late
DasPenetrator
Best part was there were 3 more people who came after me and they were 10-15 minutes late
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Typical bullying behavior, going for what they think will be an easy target, what a psycho.
Juggalomidgetparty
Same thing happened in 2004 with this one prof and me being 5 minutes late. I just dead stared him the entire time and just sat down.
AnonOmis1000
I would have just said "fuck you cunt" and turned and left. Then again I'm no longer a college student.
Kaplar
That just means he can't fail you!
AnonOmis1000
Tbh after my first year I think I was done enough with college to not take shit like that. Luckily I didn't have to find out.
Xedi22
“Are you done, so we can be adults now?” ...or similar. Works wonders...or you get kicked out/fired/etc. :)
cyndrin
That'll fucking shut your teacher up, that's for sure. You'd take the wind out of their sails and they'd tell you to just go sit down
JHawke
Just sit down, ignore him. It's a teacher, what are they going to do.
LitchLitch
You missed two minutes, but by coming in late you disrupt the class for at least five minutes.
IProvideFakeContext
You greatly overestimate the shits college students give about their classmates.
SeratedScrotum
for being late is the only real distraction you gimp. (3)
ThatRandomCanadian
No, you disrupt it for a 20 seconds typically. The teacher disrupts for at least 5 minutes going on about being late causing disruptions.
GravyEducation
Real prof would be like "late again, Steve? Have a seat." It's enough to call it out. We're all adults here let's move on with it
SeratedScrotum
you aren't distracting anyone for longer than a moment or two. That five minutes that the professor used to "lecture" the student (2)
thesmugdemon
I'm more distracted by the women who put perfume on in the middle of class than the late people. Their perfume messes with my breathing.
SeratedScrotum
That's a load of bullshit mate. Nobody gives two shits and would be distracted for a maximum of ten seconds. Unless you storm in, (1)
LitchLitch
It is a lot more disruptive than you think, particularly in a small class. Even if it seems like nothing, EVERYONE notices. It disrupts all.
FartBoxExtract
QuartzPigeon
What pansy ass classes are you in
PatrikLilja
The one with numbers and addition and good job prospects. So a small class.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Probably gender studies
PatrikLilja
I have a small class people enter at front next to the whiteboard so everyone can see. It's disruptive for 20 seconds.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
Fuck not even 20. More like 3.
PatrikLilja
I have a small class, people enter at front next to the whiteboard so everyone can see. It's disruptive for 20 seconds tops.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Ah, the egotistic and asinine excuse professors give for jumping at the chance to abuse their power.
bongles
meanwhile they waste 15 minutes ranting about it every time
joeys2323
As fucking if, you come in and grab a seat at the back. Unless you storm in on the phone blasting music, you ain't disrupting anything
jrblast
And, depending on the class, you can come in the back door, which is even less disruptive still.
DasPenetrator
Exactly. Its just the sound of the door opening that's it. Not even like I walked across the students line of sight or anything
PatrikLilja
In my class you have to walk in front of everyone to grt a seat. It's disruptive for 20 seconds or less.
forte10
Some classes have a minimum number that can be skipped before failing. I wouldn't waste a rare absence I might need due to illness.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Which is a crock of shit in the first place. If you know the material, you know the material, that's kind of what you're there for.
Headstereo
Ive had teachers mark you down for absences and others let me retake exams near the last moment possible cause its a scan tron and not a big
Headstereo
deal apparently.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
It depends on the professor. Some really can and do abuse it to attack people they dislike, you'd be shocked what they can get away with.
forte10
I actually don't know the reason for the rule. But in vet tech school, for most classes, I think you could miss a maximum of 10%-30%.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
The reason for the rule is social conditioning and an egotistical desire to exercise power over others in the form of arbitrary rules.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
There's also a monetary greed incentive; if you fail because of that, it's not like you'll just drop out, you'll pay to take it again.
Utael
Good don't interrupt the class that cost me $800 to take.
normalizetherapy
I think he was talking about the professor interrupting their lecture by focusing on a late student for 5 min. wasting everyone’s time.
ElbowDeepInIt
If someone opening a door and taking a seat interrupts your focus, do I have some bad news about the professional workplace.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
True. College snowflakes need to realise that the real world is not some safe space bubble, it doesn't give a crap about your sensitivities.
6KidsInATrenchcoat
Well in my experience the ‘safe space’ isn’t the students’ fault. Colleges are treating them like children who are unable to make decision.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
It is when they personally demand it & slander anyone who mocks it, they're not just victims of someone else's idea, it's their ideology too
ThatRandomCanadian
Maybe he has a new form of ADD. One that makes someone with ADD or ADHD seem focused as a neurosurgeon?
sedkitty03
Having ADD doesn't necessarily mean you can't focus on anything. It's different for each person, but some experience heightened focus on...
sedkitty03
subjects in which they have extreme interest. For example, I have ADD and usually had a difficult time focusing during math class, but when
s3nd
If being on time is hard for you, I have some bad news about the professional workplace too.
s3nd
To clarify - I don't think he is right to do this. I am just say that being on time is widely accepted as a better move than being late.
DietCokeIsTheBest
People are always late to meetings, calls etc. Because it’s the work place and things crop up. You just walk in and carry on.
s3nd
This is true, but learning to be on time is nonetheless a key quality.
ElbowDeepInIt
I drive an hour through Houston traffic. They're pretty flexible within reason. I don't know what concentration camp you work in.
s3nd
When I have a meeting at 10am, they generally expect me to be tjere at 10am. That's all.
