Simple Rules to Follow So You Aren't "That Guy"
Three hour lectures can be brutal enough; no one needs to be distracted by an annoying classmate. Here are 22 simple rules to follow so you aren't "that guy":
12. If you are in danger of falling asleep, sit in the back row to minimize the number of people who will be distracted by laughing at you and alerting their neighbor to your condition. Also, wear a helmet so you don't injure your head when it hits the desk.

1. For God's sake, turn off your cell phone and mute the volume on your laptop. Even if you've never had cellular service in the HPC basement, you miraculously will as soon as your Mom calls in the middle of class. If someone else's phone rings, that should be the cue for everyone else to make sure their phone is off. There is no excuse for a second cell phone to ring in class, especially if your ring tone is something annoying like the 1812 Overture, the Mario Bros. theme or some other catchy tune that's going to get stuck in everyone's heads.
2. If you must type in class, don't pound the keyboard like it owes you money. Press the keys lightly; they have feelings too.
3. If you are eating a snack packaged in cellophane or a similarly loud crinkly material, dump out the entire contents first instead of reaching in the bag for every bite.
4. No stinky foods. Or foods that create gas.
5. When eating a generously donated apple, it's impossible to eat it quietly, so just do it quickly rather than trying to be quiet by taking slower bites and drawing out the process. Also, hiding the apple under the desk between bites isn't fooling anyone.
6. If you ever spill your coffee or another drink, you forever forfeit your beverage privileges.
7. Bathe, use deodorant and brush your teeth before coming to class. Also, don't wear the same clothes you wore to the bar last night -- they smell like cigarettes and beer. Even if you are hungover and can't smell it, we can.
8. Do not crack your knuckles. Or any other part of your body.
9. Do not pick your nose, teeth, ears, zits, scabs or toe cheese (but please do wipe away gross little eye boogers). Also, if you can't blow your nose without sounding like a fog horn, please leave the room to do so.
10. No pen flipping. No matter how talented you think you are, you will drop it. Plus, it makes those of us who aren't so talented jealous. When you do drop your pen, leave it on the floor; that way you'll never drop it again. Need it to take notes? Too bad. You should have thought of that earlier, Flippy Flipperton.
11. If you must tap or bounce your leg, make sure your chair is not touching someone else's chair or desk. The rest of us are hungover too and have coffee shakes of our own.
12. If you are in danger of falling asleep, sit in the back row to minimize the number of people who will be distracted by laughing at you and alerting their neighbor to your condition. Also, wear a helmet so you don't injure your head when it hits the desk.
13. If you are going to surf the internet, sit in the back row so no one is distracted by looking over your shoulder. Unless you are surfing porn - in that case, sit in the front row and share the love.
14. If you arrive late, don't walk through the front of the room to find a seat, pick up handouts, or turn in an assignment. Also, deal with your personal items (coat, keys, phone, etc.) before you enter the classroom. Remember, the idea is to sneak in unnoticed, not to announce to the GSB that you can't tell time and probably shouldn't have been admitted.
15. If you're a Nodder (i.e., you nod at everything the professor says to try to show everyone how smart you are), sit in the back of the room where no one has to see your smug self. If you're nodding as you read this list, you're already on Nodding probation; sit in the back row of your next class.
16. If you speak, don't state the obvious, something that has already been said, or something completely unrelated to the topic at hand. If the reason for opening your mouth is ever a) just to get class participation points, or b) to show off a new word you just learned, do everyone a favor and shut it.
17. If you must pass notes, only do so with the person immediately next to you. No one wants to be your messenger. And there's no need to fold the note like you're in grade school…unless it says somewhere on the note, "Check yes or no."
18. No getting up to go to the bathroom for 15 minutes on either side of the break. Either you hold it or you should have gone when you had the chance.
19. When a handout is being passed around, there is no need to read it before passing the stack on. And is it really that difficult to pay attention to where the stack has already been to make sure the distribution doesn't stop prematurely, skip a row or even an entire section?
20. No one wants to hear your sighs of frustration or other under-the-breath comments during an exam. And if you finish the exam first, there's no reason to gloat. It wasn't a race and you probably made a bunch of stupid mistakes in the process.
21. If you forget/lose your namecard, just let it go. Don't try to scribble one out and fill it in with your ballpoint pen. No one can read it. And definitely don't be a dork and print out a special one and bring it from home.
22. Whether you've been at the GSB for a year or a day, there's never an acceptable reason to wear your magnetic name tag to class. Ever.
