Did that just happen? (1 Viewer)

[Raiks]

For those in uni, you've been attending your lectures, meeting new people in tutorials and in between socialising, you're fitting in a bit of bookwork. Most of your peers seem normal but then theres incidents or lecturer quirks which make you think to yourself 'Am I sure that just happened' and range from the slightly odd, to the outrageous and bizarre. Any stories about things happening which have raised more than an eyebrow or 2?

theres a goth dude in my psych lectures that raises my eyebrow everytime i see him
my bio lab demonstrator (who is also the first yr bio lab coordinator) told me he was going to spank me.
a friend in my bio lab the other day said (completely innocently) 'are we sucking it or blowing it'

i think thats about it so far.

We got a lecturer whom we call scratchy as in he constantly scratches his head. His hair is a whole mess as well, like a giant toupe on top of his head. At one time a note was passed around saying, "scratch your head at 12:45" or something lol

In my soil mechanics laboratory i had to unclog soil from a mixing device using a trowel, and the trowel jammed for a split second and when it unjammed it flew forward in my hand and sent a load of dirt towards the lab supervisor who was kneeling down looking at something on the ground, and some of the dirt landed in his back pocket. He didn't notice a thing

I had a lecturer turn around to the entrie lecture theatre and ask if there were any americans and a few of them put up their hanfs and the lecturer turns around and says 'OK, I'll avoid yous because I don't really like America' and the eyebrow raising bit.... he was dead serious about it.

It's was great when an economics teacher turned around to a girl in the tutorial when she answered a question and says 'You're just not a pretty face are you' in a really sleazy 'an inch further and its sexual harrassment' kinda way and to have the girl turn around and say back to him 'yeah, and if you fancy me, you can have me by the hour'.... the tutor avoided her for the rest of the semester.

As a stunt for an election, we had someone run through a lecture naked, and he was chased by the lecturer out of the theatre, across the foyer outside and out of the building. When the lecturer came back, he started talking from the middle of the foyer as he walked in, turned to the board and starting writing, as if nothing had happened.

I also know of a research group that organised a stripper for their lecturer's 50th birthday, and the stripper performed in a 3rd year lecture (much to the lecturers horror, I might add).

Also, in a biology lecture, the lecturer was talking about primitive instincts, and described them as the four F's, which he defined as "fight, flight, feeding and reproduction".

in our first lesson, one of my tutors rambled on about how his wife loves austin powers and how she always asks him, before bed, "do i make you horny, baby?"

First nanoscience lecture at UWS (not my own) the lecturer walked in and dove straight into Higher Theoretical Physics. When anyone walked in late (due to being typically lost first years) he'd say "third year theoretical physics?" and they'd get this look of horror on their face. After about half an hour he couldn't take it anymore and cracked up laughing, explained what was going on and welcomed everyone to university science.

My psychobiol lecturer last year gave us the same "Feeding, fighting, fleeing and, uh, having sex" routine. This next one's a bit of an urban myth, but a biol lecturer was talking about the high glucose content of semen in relation to sperm count and a female student interrupted and said, "So glucose meaning sugar, right?" which the lecturer confirmed, to which the girl asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?" She went red and got up to leave when she realised what she'd said but before she got out the door the lecturer replied, "Because your 'sweet' tastebuds are at the tip of your tongue, not the back of your throat..."

Sorry, had to.

Nothing exceptionally funny but my Accounting Tutor, who also happens to be my supervisor for workshops (Henry C) is a cool guy. Our workshops/tutorials are meant to go for an hour but we usually get dismissed half an hour earlier.
In the workshops we are suppose to be doing the set accounting questions ourselves but Henry the legend just does all the questions for us on the board. He than hastily drops his whiteboard marker and pursues to talk about VB's and Guiness experiences he has had in his younger years . He tells of how he had a drinking competition with another collegue and how he would always kick his arse. This would usually result in him vommiting on his girlfriends nice pretty dress and copping an inevitable slap by her!
In the end he tells us that it is all worth it because he proved he was a better drinker than his mate ever was or ever will be

The copying of questions and him telling us of his life story happens every week without failure, mostly in the tutorials! The coool thing is, is that all this only takes a mere 30-40mins which means I can go home early after yet another eventful day at UOW.

I have this bogan looking female tutor that does the entire Sharon Stone/Basic Instinct thing every week. It's quite disturbing.
