<p>damn can't stand these guys...seriously, I don't care about your life or your stupid experiences.....</p>
<p>hahaha you should tell them that.</p>
<p>Some are awfull, but they can also be great...just like any other batch of students. There is a 50-year-old woman in my world literature night class. She is a lawyer who went to UCLA. She is bored with work and is going back to school to get a PHD in art history. She is one of the smartest women I have ever met, and adds so much to the class. Since there are so few middle aged students you notice them more, and the annoying ones stick out like a sore thumb.</p>
<p>The feeling might be mutual, don't you think.</p>
<p>Ugh, I can't stand them. Always sitting right up front with their tape recorders making the rest of us look bad.</p>
<p>Dunno, I was really refreshed to go from a 4yr to a CC and meeting people that weren't twenty years old and thought they knew everything.</p>
<p>That being said, the random old guy that attends classes just so he can impart his divine old-person wisdom on the youth of America is probably the most irritating type of sketchy CC student.</p>
<p>there was this one mid-40s guy in my calc class who thought he won the nobel prize or something...he made it his mission to interrupt the teacher every minute to point out random useless facts....I also had this one guy in my Comp Sci class who would ask stupid theoretical questions which had no relations to the subject at hand...then there are these two annoying middle aged ladies in my history class, one of whom laughs out loud at every stupid thing the professor says and the other who won't shut up and keeps talking about her life experiences, and how hard she works blah blah blah...</p>
<p>There was a 40+ guy in my human sexuality class..everytime I saw him I was thinking, "why is this guy here"? He was totally the 40-year-old virgin...either that or trying to pick up on the 18yearold girls...ewww</p>
<p>thats one way to get em...</p>
<p>there is this guy in my managerial class who is stuck in high school. he wears a black leather coat and eyeglasses that have a sunglass lens attachment or something. he laughs after every sentence that comes out of his mouth. he thinks he knows everything. if he knows everything then why would he be at a CC?</p>

<p>My dad said his boss' middle-aged son always takes classes in CC in order to date young chicks. eww.</p>
<p>Yes! I have a classmate in my poli sci class who is at least 60, types loudly on her laptop, and interrupts the professor every chance she get so she can interject with her inane comments and life experience. She is the reason we are so behind on the material and have to stay late each night. SHUT UP! No one wants to hear your stories. Pay a shrink or take a psych/philosophy class.</p>
<p>the only old guy who would hit on young girl I knew was my Chemistry teacher. He would have assigned seating where all the girls would be in the front row...and during quizzes and test he would practicaly give them all the answers (if the girl was hot) and during weekends he would invite groups of these girls to starbucks to "discuss Chemistry" it was pretty funny in a creepy way</p>

<p>Did he give final to girls at a motel?? LoL</p>
<p>Yeah...There's 2 middle-aged men in my Astronomy class that are just so annoying. I'll admit, some of the things they say may be interesting, but most of the time I just want to rip my hair out because they're so self righteous that they try to teach the class. On more than one occasion my professor would ask a question to the class, and surely one of the men would answer, but VERY descriptively...Almost verbatim from the readings. My prof would ask if he read ahead in the textbook and the man would always look around the room with a smile and say something like "No, I already knew that!" </p>
<p>I reeeally try to suck it in but it's really bad when their antics lead to my class being dismissed late.</p>
<p>Also, in my Art History lecture there's a lady who always makes this nasal, grunting "Ha!" after EVERYTHING she believes my teacher says is funny or interesting.</p>
<p>Thank goodness I'll be getting out.</p>
<p>Yes! they are so obnoxious! they think just because they are older that they are experts on every single thing! In truth, they've been out of school so long that those of us who haven't had breaks in education should be the experts, but these people can't seem to figure that out. There was one guy in my spanish class who would try to correct the NATIVE born Mexican teacher on his SPANISH! This guy was from Russia and had a PhD in some sort of mathematics, and he'd spend half of all classes either telling the teacher that the class was too easy, or that he was teaching it wrong.</p>
<p>There should totally be a middle-aged people only school.</p>
<p>(:</p>
<p>There was one middle-aged woman in my history class last semester who would complain about how hard it was to have a job, 2 kids, and go to school at the same time, and how she would have the best grades if it weren't for her kids. I felt like giving her a roundhouse kick to the head everytime I went to that class. Maybe if she wasn't so annoying her husband would not have run out on her.</p>
<p>There's a couple of them at the state school I go to. They seem very confident and collected, which I like. On the other hand, they make us lost youthful souls look bad if we didn't do the reading and raise our hand every five minutes in every single class. Once, in a winter class, this guy even had the audacity to bring his three year old daughter to class with him two days in a row, and she never stopped screaming; I felt really bad for the teacher.</p>
<p>lol, janel, isn't that against school policy? to bring kids into class?</p>
<p>Ok I have an odd story. There was a women in my speech class who was in general pretty ridiculous. It was my sad fortune to be placed in a group with her. The day our group was giving our speech she decided to bring bagels and cream cheese for the whole class. I don't even eat bagels so I didn't have one. Anyways she bought like 48 even though there was only 20 people in the class (she took all the extras home) . A couple days later me and the rest of my group received an invoice via email! She said she did it for the group and we each needed to chip in for all the bagels. What a weirdo.... Who does that???</p>
