Oui, j'ai détesté le français dans l'université ainsi je n'ai jamais pris un intrest en l'apprenant correctement.

There's one everywhere...
Freshman year I had a media class, and there was this one older lady in the class that we named the 'Class Ass.' In out freshman filled lecture hall she made it a point to refute everything the professor said, and question his abilities. She always interjected, and for some reason worked some aspect of her life into a simple class question. She even went on and on about her job when the professor asked a RHETORICAL question.
Over the semester the annoyance of the class grew to hostility. By the end of the semester people were grumbling loudly, whereas before it was simple muttering under our breaths.
Once she argued endlessly with a FRESHMAN during our last class before finals. The professor was doing a review, old broad kept asking questions, and making comments. Finally, this girl was beyond irritated and said "Lady, if you don't shut the hell up..." a little too loud.
IT WAS PURE COMEDY!
It was also funny that the older woman looked at sounded like Miss Cleo.

There was one girl in a class I took over the summer that at the beginning of the class just drove me NUTS. This girl would sit directly in front of the professor and ask a number of really really stupid questions.
My friends and I got tired of it, so we started sitting in the front sits instead, lol. We also decided to be more vocal, within limits. The rules:
Don't ask questions 5-10 minutes before the end of class
Don't ask questions after receiving an assignment back that applies only to YOUR paper- that's why the teacher gives us an email address
That was really enough to keep us happy. After a couple of classes she shut up.

I'm all for getting involved in class..but..as all of you noted..there are some that take it overboard. There was this one pre-freshman in my Govt. summer class this year..well..of course after stating -repeatedly- he was going to attend Perdue University this fall and majoring in Political Science we all figured he was pretty cocky. Well, he asked irrevelent questions over EVERYTHING...and of course..would interrupt the professor during the lecture. Well, one day we were talking about different political systems when he just hopped on this soapbox saying how 'communism' wasn't that bad (please mind there were foreign students from Russia and former Soviet countries sitting right beside him) and that countries like England should be happy we 'saved' them in WW2 (also we had an English student in there also). Thankfully we all banded together and ripped him a new one after that..teehee
