Today before Inventing America, a student got up and set the clock about six minutes forward, hoping that the professor would be confused and end class early. "This class is really boring," she said, expecting that the people in the room would agree with her. No one did, but no one told her off either. I didn't feel like starting an argument with her about her attempt to waste everyone's money, asking her why she is taking a class like this in the first place, or mentioning that, in any case, we were just watching a movie today, so I just rolled my eyes while looking away from her. Another student sitting a couple of seats from me got my gesture and concurred with a shrug.

Five minutes later the clock stopped. She got her justice. Class lasted about a minute past the regular time.

	our clocks haven't been corrected for daylight savings time yet. No professors are letting us out an hour early. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	For shame! Sounds just like something someone would say in high school. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ha! I know. Tomorrow if the clock is working again, she'll try to get everyone to leave on the "five minute rule." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, the five minute rule. I've tried to introduce that in some of my classes. Well, for once, the phrase 'getting her comeuppance' might make sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
