That One Guy
I personally thought that the sub we had in class on Friday proved especially odd. I walked into the room and the lights were on, and I did not at all like this change in scenery. I did not like his mannerisms either: the way he walked, carried himself, spoke, you could tell he was kind of cocky (I guess I am just a hard person to please as well). When Alex and Thomas said that he resembled Dwight from "The Office" he responded, "Oh, I get that a lot," and then preceded to quote the office. However, I do not really think that being compared to Dwight serves as much of a compliment. Similarly, I heard that he also asked the other class the definition of situational irony. This especially surprised me. I cannot really believe that he has gone through college and high school without knowing basic literary knowledge. Although I guess this does not surprise me that much, for when he subbed Spanish for a little bit I heard that he remarked, "Oh, calculus? I was never very good at that. I had to take it several times in college." It also annoyed me that during the discussion, he talked more than everyone else. Asking people to explain the most basic things and interrupting the discussion after each person talked. The way he acted as if he had read the book held as somewhat of a nuisance as well, but really he had only read a chapter or two in words class. Similarly, I heard he proved as an inefficient teacher in that class as well. I do not really know what prompted this person to want to sub classes, but I do hope that he does not ever hold a teaching position based on what I have seen from him so far.

Henry, I could not agree more that this guy was a bit odd. However, I found him more entertaining than annoying. I thought it was funny how much he wanted to contribute to the discussion, even though he admitted he had only seen the movie. I am surprised you did not freak out during class at him though.
