There is always that ONE person!

Regardless if you've only been in high school, or you've attended college, you will know what I am talking about. There is always that one person in every class that talks waayyyy too much! They always have a comment, or a story that they MUST contribute and share with the class. They are that person you roll your eyes at, and pray they get the hint that NO ONE CARES!!!! 

In most cases this person has no clue that everyone cannot stand them, and they think everyone values their contributions. Rarely... probably never, do they understand that they are the most obnoxious person in the class. They always have their hand up, and they have a personal story for ALMOST everything!!! 

Now I must admit I probably run into these people more often than most due to my major in school. If you didn't already know I am a psychology student, and my classes use real world examples more often than not. This could be the reason I encounter these people soooooo much! Unfortunate for me. 

There is another type of person I have encountered, The ALWAYS LATE person. I swear these people are almost as annoying as the TALKS TOO MUCH students. I have had classmates enter a class up to 45 minutes late... at this point I don't see a point in showing up. If I oversleep and class has already started then I am not going.       These people are always late too... not just once in a while, they come in late every class, and its not just 3 or 4 minutes late... it's 20 - 30 minutes. 

As i've mentioned in past posts I am a very on-time person. I refuse to be late, or barely make it into a place on time. I show up early and am ready as the professor begins. How someone can be okay showing up over 5 minutes late is beyond me. 

I was in a counseling psychology course last fall and there was a girl who showed up 30 - 45 minutes late every class. I know she had mentioned she had two kids, but if you are going to be late to a 9:45 class every day you should pick a course that better fits your schedule, or arrange to be there on time. In my opinion there is NO reason to be late EVERY SINGLE CLASS! Shit happens, you may hit traffic, get a flat, etc.... But that does not happen every day! If you are hitting traffic everyday you should probably leave earlier. I have always lived on or near campus, I walk, and I leave at decent times. For instance, if I have class at 12 and know it takes me 15-20 minutes to get to class I won't leave my apartment at 11:50.. The latest I will leave is 11:35... 

I don't claim to hold the secrets to life. Being on time is not a foreign concept, TONS of people show up on time EVERY DAY. I just can NOT understand people who have the nerve to walk in over 30 minutes late on a regular basis. It's rude, inconsiderate, and a waste of your money as a paying college student.
