There’s A Snap For That

(My engineering teacher was popular with students thanks to his laid-back attitude and willingness to speak on the students’ level about topics you’d normally avoid around teachers. His room has a poster with common courtesy rules such as “Be polite. Be respectable,” etc. This exchange occurs during some free time in class.)

Student: *with his phone out* “Hey, [Teacher], what does that say?”

Teacher: “That sign? One: Be polite, by not playing on your f***ing iPod. Two: Be respectable, by not playing on your f***ing iPod. Pay attention, instead of playing on your f***ing iPod. Show courtesy to others, not by playing on your f***ing iPod. Something something… f*** f*** f*** iPod.”
