<p>I need help dealing with the cocky kids at college (the big athletes, frat/sorority kids, and the rich snobs in particular.... no offense if you're any of those).</p>
<p>Any suggestions? I need help dealing with cocky people in general.</p>
<p>Make them suck it. </p>
<p>No, but seriously, just ignore them.</p>
<p>What holden said</p>
<p>but barring that… have you tried flipping them the bird? Have you tried telling them to shove it? </p>
<p>If they get in your face have you actually shoved them away? Cause unless they enjoy working at McDonalds for the rest of their life, by college they won’t mess with you</p>
<p>I hear cocky people get along well with pussies.</p>
<p>^lol’ing right now.</p>
<p>I don’t know why, but everyone in my engineering, physics, and math courses thinks they’re the smartest person to ever walk the earth. </p>
<p>In my computer programming class last semester, so many people had to constantly show everyone how smart they were. People would raise their hand and not even ask a question; they’d be like “You know professor, if you do it this way instead of that way and use this command your code will be much more efficient blah blah blah”. Of course he knows, he has a PhD! And people would raise their hand to stop the whole lecture just to point out a spelling mistake or misnamed variable, something that has no importance or impact on anything.</p>
<p>And in Math and Physics, there are a lot of people in my lecture who took the class in high school but didn’t get AP Credit, so they constantly complain in lecture about how easy it is. If it’s so easy, don’t come to lecture! Obviously you don’t know the material well because you didn’t get AP credit, so shut up and take notes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I couldn’t agree more -____-</p>
<p>the rest of us engineering majors who aren’t cocky are really nice :)</p>
<p>@Yakyu Spirits… I know exactly what you mean. Soon as you notice a silly mistake on the board, the kids who think they’re geniuses and the only ones to notice it won’t point it out right away, they’re scared they could be wrong so instead they’ll kind of wait till they notice someone else notices the error and then try to blurt it out first lol. It’ll be like…
Genius A -> raises hand half way, puts it down, puts it back up half way, down, back up
Genius B -> notices genius A’s hand shuffle, “ahhhhh…”
Genius A -> “AH YEAH THE X IS SUPPOSED TO BE A Y” <em>get’s a hard on</em></p>
<p>There are definitley obnoxious guys in math/science/engineering. I am pretty sure there is a kid in my engineering lecture that thinks he is smarter than the Prof cuz he took AP Physics. He needs to realize there are a ton of kids in that class that took AP Physics but ****ed up the exam.</p>
<p>I took honors programming last semester, my god, that class was horrible. Not the material, but the kids in that class were so weird/obnoxious.</p>
<p>I have to deal with a lot of morons in my major. I even considered transferring just because they made my classes pretty horrible. …overdramatic, right? I decided instead to kick their butts GPA-wise, rub it in their faces that in-fact I am better than them; not the other way around.</p>
<p>beat them up</p>
<p>Engineering master race reporting in. I can’t stand it when dumb professors are slowing down my intro science and math lectures so that people who aren’t blessed with my flawless intellect can pass.</p>
<p>
holy **** this is the most annoying thing ever
i know one girl ALWAYS does this and i just happen to have like 3 classes with her every semester god damn **** my life why do we even need to correct this tiny ass **** mistake that doesn’t even *<strong><em>ing matter *</em></strong>ing ****</p>
<p>^^Ha! Engineers get mad! Hope I don’t become too perturbed also…</p>
<p>Lol at the ■■■■■ comment</p>
<p>meh… ignore them. Highschool is so over - no one cares how “cool” they are. </p>
<p>Besides the ignoring thing - Just become friends with them. I know that sounds strange but that way you can tell them to shove off when they are being annoying and they won’t mind as much but are more likely to do as you ask. </p>
<p>I also find coming up with amusing nicknames for the know-it-all-spelling-freaks in class that you can think of and laugh at (internally) every time they speak. Humour makes everything much more bearable. </p>
<p>@Yakyu Spirits:</p>
<p>I agree. I am fairly sure some of the people in those classes do them simply to prove that they are the smartest people on earth. Of couse, it proves nothing except incredible insecurity on their part. And so, I pity them and their future break downs when they are completing PhD’s on subjects they don’t really like (or possibly understand). The quiet unassuming ones and the one’s that are always willing to help are the people to admire in those subjects.</p>
<p>Fists (10 char)</p>
<p>haha i’m suprised pussies wasn’t censored out</p>
<p>Find what room they are in in the dorm and butter their door handle. But dont get any on the floor or they might slip and get hurt.</p>
