Waiting for a car to pull put in the parking lot with my turn signal on. Car whips into the spot ahead of me.

I asked the gentleman in his mid 40s (old enough to know better) "Sir did you not see me waiting there with my turn signal on?"

His response? "Yes I did, so?"

Was I irritated? Oh yea.
Did I for a second want to shoot him? Nope
Did I want to ram his pretty little mustang? Nah, but she definitely deserves a better owner.

Grrr. I may still leave a note letting him know what I think of his arrogant behavior if his car is still there after class....

If he has a university parking sticker, there is a number on it that you can turn in as a reckless driver, or any other undesirable action, you can make up....um, I mean report him for.
Careful.

None of my professors tried to ban weapons from the classroom; although, I do expect one of my class buildings will be posted at a later date. The biggest mention I had was one professor who said weapons weren't allowed in his office. As his class is the one I'm dropping it was a non issue for me personally, but I am eager to see the AG take this power from professors based on some of the comments made during the UT classroom lawsuit.

Overall it was a good experience.
What school are you attending. Has the school established a policy that allows professors to ban handguns in their offices?
