My phone went off in class, should I drop the class?

<p>I forgot to turn off my phone (I'm not making excuses, it was completely my fault), and it rang in my first college class ever. I turned it off quickly and apologized. The professor nodded and said "okay" but looked kind of ****ed off. I am now feeling really guilty and terrified that he will hate me forever and grade me badly on my tests and stuff. Should I just go ahead and drop the class?</p>

<p>Grow up. Really.</p>

<p>really? seriously? You should drop the class! Professors hate it when phone ring and you will fail 100%. GUARANTEED!!! . DO IT NOW. before its too late. before your phone rings again</p>

<p>I can’t believe people actually call you. It was your mom wasn’t it?</p>

<p>I actually laughed just reading the title. </p>

<p>I can sort of understand, if you were really nervous/excited since it IS your very first day in college. However, I must say, that is pretty pathetic. You wouldn’t quit a job if your phone rang in your first meeting or something…</p>

6

<p>Keep the class, but remember to keep your phone on vibrate or silent, or just turned off. Don’t let that incident happen again.</p>

7

<p>It happens eventually to almost everyone. Just try not to have it happen again.</p>

8

<p>Mine went off during a test.</p>

9

<p>Don’t drop the class, as long as it doesn’t happen again the prof will probably forget about it anyway.</p>

<p>iguana, please, these threads are making me go insane…</p>

<p>on the tiny chance you’re serious… i agree with modestmelody</p>

11

<p>Drop it. The risk of detrimentally affecting your GPA due to this entirely significant event simply is not worth it.</p>

12

<p>One time a professor caught me looking out the window during a lecture…needless to say I dropped the class.</p>

13

<p>The mature thing to was to apologize to the prof immediately after the incident.
“Hi Prof___ , I want to apologize for not turning off my phone. It was disrespectful and won’t happen again. My name is ___ and I am looking forward to your class this semester. So again apologies.”
Too late…</p>

<p>One time I sneezed. The professor glared at me, kind of like Snape does to Potter. I dropped the class the very dame day.</p>

<p>Good luck OP.</p>

15

<p>If you do what #14 suggests you’ll look like a tool. Just get on with the class, the professor will forget in a week.</p>

16

<p>absolutely.</p>

17

<p>Good job, ■■■■■. You win.</p>

18

<p>Yeah I’m pretty sure this guy isn’t serious too.</p>

19

<p>hahahahahahahaha</p>
