The guy who treats the class like he is being personally tutored and wants to show off how smart he thinks he is.

I was in college during the first Obama term in the middle of nowhere in Iowa. I took a handful of history classes to fill out my schedule. This one fellow, a History major, could make any class into a discussion about whether Obama is Hitler. He’s probably a teacher somewhere. I bet he still sucks

Ted and I thankfully missed each other in college. He graduated in May 1992, and I started in September 1992. But I know plenty of people who crossed his path and....yikes. It's really hard to be the most obnoxious person on an Ivy League campus for four straight years. The competition is fierce.

I had a guy in my World Politics class 20 years ago that looked exactly like this dude, and talked constantly. He would sit in class and very performatively read the newspaper during the lecture, dramatically looking over it to frequently interject some bullshit.

I will never forget my Freshman seminar on WMDs, where a dude said we should drive tanks into Iran to deter nuclear weapons development. (Said dude wore a white and neon Bengals hat and was from Edina, MN) This was 18 years ago and I still joke about it with a friend
