There is this excruciatingly annoying guy in my English Class.
I write excruciating because it is literally hard to watch this guy in class as the others mock and laugh at him. In most cases i would cringe at the faces they make at him, detest the snickers that someone makes after he stutters(he has a bad case of them) but...this guy is so annoying I can't even feel sorry for him.
There is usually one kid who has to chime in on everything the teacher says. Usually i don't have a problem with this because it takes the pressure off of me. But when he says things about the books we are reading it borders on idiocy.
You can tell he is a smart guy. Some of the things he says makes sense. But most of the time his comments are so stupid you want to smack him.
He looks about 35, dresses like he's 70 and then he stutters like no one else's business. I am sensitive to people who stutter, my uncle stutters and sometimes i am on the phone with him for about 5 minutes before he gets out a full sentence. It's pretty bad. But this guy stutters because he doesn't think before he speaks. It's like he has a thought, and then shots it out.
The class has instantly turned on him, you can tell because 7 of us sit towards the door, 7 on the opposite side near the window and then you have the lone ranger in the middle of the class. We are reading Huckleberry Finn( and by we, i don't mean me because i refuse to read this book for the 20th time), and his comments sort of border on racist, born out of ignorance rather than him trying to offend people.
The class kind of looks on with mouths agape as he makes totally backwards comments about Jim (the slave in the novel). He says things like a child who has no concept over the fact that it can be viewed as insensitive. Luckily the professor usually corrects him, and then a girl from the "window" group says something to counteract his ignorance.
Not only is he bordering on racist comments but everything about him is just annoying. I didn't think it could occur, i didn't think their could be a person who literally exudes "I'm annoying" but this douche bag has proved me wrong. His walk is annoying, his old man clothes are annoying, even the way his arm hair ends perfectly at his wrist is annoying.
I think part of the reason i don't like this class is because he is in it. I'm waiting for someone to say something to him because right now the annoyance between the "window" and "door" group is boiling and there is nothing i can do to stop it...
...Well except watch on with glee as they take him on. I imagine it being something like West Side Story, a lot of dancing, singing, a small shuffle and then resolution (ending in the removal of him from our class)
Until then, i'll try not to kick his ass after class.

There are a couple of guys I know through work that are like that. I'm sure they are nice, but they are so frickin' annoying I'll never find out...
awwww, poor annoying kid!
or wait. no!
goddamn annoying kid.
wait'll you get to grad school. every second person exudes ANNOYING, but in a different way.
Huck Finn, eh?
yeah. i dunno. i like mark twain but huck finn only kinda does it for me. Puddnhead Wilson is a hysterically funny and weird book, though, so Twain has redeemed himself.
Harsh words thats all I got to say.
Sue:
Yeah this kid is so annoying i can't even imagine trying to find out if he is nice.
Kbryna:
I've just read this story so many times it is becoming unbearable. I haven't read any of his other works but i hope they are a lot more interesting. I did like Jim though.
Vnmz.one:
i don't think they are as harsh as his racist ones. There's something unredeemable about that.
