Every professor having PTSD flashbacks to the smarmiest fuck who ever took their seminar

Every douchebag at the bar.

My level of flashback is "went to an incredibly conservative right-wing Catholic seminar debate-style liberal arts school" so yeah exactly this 😩

I still remember that kid's name 23 years later.

Absolutely terrifying that he could possibly be a heartbeat away from the presidency

I had a classmate like that who would constantly try to debate the professor about topics that were barely relevant to the course, he was so annoying

Ahh yes—smarmy. That’s the word I was looking for. Thank you, Professor!

I'm sure the profs at Wharton have been feeling that way for a long time.

Don't forget the shitty review at the end of the semester because you would not tolerate his arrogant ranting on your time.

And then he wanted a recommendation letter but I said no
