Mini Teacher
In my dive class on Saturday (the one with the attempted murder) there is a mini teacher. The mini teacher felt the need to have a running commentary through out the whole class. Students are students not teachers! I find it rude to talk during the class. Most of what he said was wrong anyway you would think he would shut up and listen. But no he continued with his commentary through out the whole class. That spawned a insignificant inquire. Why if someone is attending a class do they feel the need to be a mini teacher? They are at the same level as the fellow students. Not an instructor. I do not like mini teachers. I especially do not like mini teachers who provide incorrect information . If you do not know the answer keep your mouth shut and learn. That is what you are there for any way! The mini teacher was also a talker. If he caught you he dished out the life story. He caught me. They always do. Maybe I should be a psychiatrist then at least I would get paid for listening to the life stories. But I would not have many clients. I am sorry that you are still mad at you parents for not buying you a pony when you were three. BUT GET OVER IT! It is time to. This has turned into a rant. Not a really a inquire. I will stop at that.

Just being helpful, out of the kindness of their heart(s)?
NOT!
Some folks just need the attention, I guess. One begins to feel sorry for them after a bit. Or ya feel like slapping the Hell out of 'em. One or the other. ;-)
I did feel like slapping him or maybe just slyly tripping him as he walked by. :) Oops, you feel down you need to watch where you are going you could really hurt yourself. ;) But I refrained. He was not the kind of person you felt sorry for, in any way. He is under the impression that he is very intelligent. Which he may be but he did not show it.
Intelligence does not necessarily equal wisdom.
Good Point Jay. I think this post came across meaner than I meant it to be. The mini teacher is a nice man. I don't mind mini teachers when they are providing helpful information. But he was not. He was talking to hear himself talk. Maybe he learns better verbally. I don't know. I just know that he distracted everyone in the class with his constant chatter.
When I saw the title "mini teacher" I thought this was going to be some joke about my height :)
Lou: I can't joke about your height because I am not taller than you. Actually I think I am a little shorter. :)
