International texting how do I do it?

How can this girl in my class get away with texting in class but not me?

  • This is something I don’t understand! This one girl in my class is always texting in class and she gets away with it! However, if I were to text, my college instructor will take my phone away and tell me to put my phone away! Here’s what happened. I was in the computer lab in my college class and we were to research some stuff and the instructor left and just said to come back to the classroom in 25 minutes after we are done finding stuff for our research project. Then this very cute young girl was sitting next to me and after she left, she stopped working and said: “F*CK THIS! THIS IS BORING! I cant do anymore of this sh*t!” So she pulled out her phone and starting texting and she made me all shocked and distracted then I said to her: “Ha I agree. Let me pull out my phone too and text even though we aren’t supposed to.” Then she said: “shh!! Shut up!” And I nodded then I was texting a little bit and she was fiddling on her phone for a long time!! So after 10 minutes, I was addicted to my phone then to my surprise, the instructor tapped me on the shoulder and said: “HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!! PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY DURING CLASS NOW!” Then I pointed and said: “Well sorry. She had her phone on too and was texting.” Then he said: “I don’t care about anyone else! I just caught you texting!” Then the girl next to me had her phone away and was working by the time the instructor came by!!!!!!!!! Why is it she could get away with texting but not me?!! EVERYONE ELSE NEVER GETS CAUGHT PLAYING ON THEIR PHONE AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES! I am sick of it! Am I being picked on? Is this right? What should I do if I keep seeing this girl in my class texting because if I am not allowed to text, why is she and other people?! The funny thing is the instructor sees her text but never says anything to her or anybody else!

  • Answer:

    I once heard a joke about a man who was stopped for speeding. He asked the state trooper why he wasn't stopping all the other people speeding down the highway even during this stop. The trooper replied "When you go fishing do you expect to catch all of the fish in the pond?" That's what happened to you. You were the fish that got caught. There's an easy remedy for this, you know. Don't use your phone while you are in class. You know you are not supposed to, so it shouldn't be a surprise when you get into trouble. You are in college. Time to gain some maturity.

I am surprised you are in COLLEGE cause you sound very immature. Just don't use your phone in class anymore and stop being a tattle-tail and telling on others! Obviously the professor yelled at the one person he saw texting and isn't going to yell at someone else when they are not using their phone when he saw you using yours. Grow up.

He's probably having sex with her after class!

Your instructor can see that this other girl is pretty dim and will not benefit from his teaching in any way. Therefore he does not waste his time on her. However he can see that you are more intelligent and have the ability to benefit and make yourself a good future from what you are now learning. Therefore he doesn't want you to waste your time and the opportunity to get good grades which will affect your whole life.

As a former college instructor, I have some advice for you: PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY! Show some respect to the prof. Even if you think the lessons are boring, you are there to learn, not to text. If you want to text, stay home, go to the student union, anywhere but the classroom. You are depriving yourself and the other students in this class of the opportunity to learn. Grow up. Put the friggin phone away!
