“The Angry Professor”

I came across this clip that is getting a lot of responses from viewers. It is an unfortunate, yet common, occurrence where a cell phone goes off in the middle of class. Some professors would ignore it and move on, but this one went over, grabbed the phone, and smashed it on the floor. AWESOME! Yes, yes, yes I know. He probably got into some trouble and was liable for property damage and so on. But still. Don’t tell me there’s never been a professor who wanted to take a student’s cellphone, smash it into a thousand pieces, and return to their lecture without skipping a beat.

Luckily I’ve never been pushed to that point and I hope I never do considering my lecturer’s salary barely keeps me afloat. Although I did grab a student’s phone and started chatting with the other person about how they interrupted my class, how rude it was, and that if they called again I would give a failing grade to their friend. That student dropped out of my class thinking that I was a nutcase. On the plus side, there were no more cell phone interruptions for the semester.
