College is the time of ramen dinners, endless exams, and paying absurd amounts of money for an education that sometimes feels like a scam. Between paying for overpriced textbooks and trying to keep up with assignments, the last thing anyone needs is an overzealous professor on a power trip. Yet, somehow, they seem to exist in every department, making the college grind harder for no reason.
You're paying thousands of dollars, and these professors act like they're running a boot camp instead of a classroom. Seriously, shouldn't the customer always be right when the customer is footing the bill? If you've ever had a professor who seemed to thrive on enforcing arbitrary rules, you know the struggle. Missing one class, being late, or, heaven forbid, sneezing too loudly in their presence could turn into a catastrophic grade deduction.
But sometimes, the stars align, and a student gets to put a professor in their place. This tale of one power-tripping professor and a savvy student who knew their rights proves that sometimes, knowing the rules can be just as important as studying for the exam.
