NASA Engineers (the kind we hate)

You know there are always those people that really piss you off in life. For me, it just happens to be NASA engineers. Let me set it up a little before I get on my soap box. NASA Engineers are people who feel they know everything about everything, they invented the subject, and there isn’t anything left to teach them.  They often try to over compensate for their own individual insecurities. For me, the NASA Engineer happens to be in my Probability and Statistics class. Here is the story: On Monday, I was sitting in my prob and stats class. We were going over standard deviation and lets face it, I’m no NASA engineer when it comes to math. Anyway....my professor was trying to explain it better when all of a sudden; NASA engineer over here begins to blurt out in class. "I came up with a different answer", "that’s not how I got that answer." Now don’t get me wrong, everyone has a right to ask questions, but this goes farther than asking questions. So my professor asked everyone to be quiet, but she still couldn’t take the hint. She continued to blurt out and was being obnoxious and rude. If you are not the one giving out grades, no one really cares what you have to say. No one cares that you got the answer a different way....If it aint broke....don’t fix it.  Just a few thoughts for the NASA Engineer reading this: If you already know everything, why don’t you stay home and find a cure for cancer or aids? Why are you paying to sit in a class that you already know everything about? Better yet, if you are going to come to class just to show us "dummies" how smart you are, do us all a favor. Just shut up so that the students who don’t understand can concentrate and listen.
