Him: "This is a distributed database program... wait, do you know what a database is?" (Not "have you taken Databases yet", it was "do you KNOW WHAT a database IS?")
Me: "Um..." *shocked pause* "yeah..." *forced laugh* "You know, I AM a computer science major too...!"
Him: "Oh, well, I just wanted to be sure..."
What I wanted to say: "Do you know what ARROGANT LITTLE SHIT means?"
Or perhaps: *lifts an eyebrow and gives an "you've got to be kidding me, would you like to try that again?" look*
I realize that he probably didn't mean to come across as being an arrogant little shit, but DAMN. That was probably one of the most insulting things another computer sci major who knows that I'm also a computer sci major could say! Does he REALLY think I could make it to a 400-level class without knowing what a goddamn DATABASE is? There is no way in hell that would happen.
And honey? Just so you know? I was working with SQL Server DURING MY INTERNSHIP, BEFORE I came to CWU. So you can just, y'know, kiss my ass, and then you can GO AWAY before you insult me again and I verbally rip you to shreds and feed what's left of you to the goldfish in the pond in the old SUB cafeteria.
I think I handled that pretty well. *seethes*
EDIT: Let me add that he said this AFTER he'd already seen my program. Which any CS major should be able to tell, just by looking at it and using their brain for even a second, would obviously HAVE to use a database to keep track of all that information.
