I had a teacher during sex ed start yelling about how you gotta work on and please your lady not a “wham bam thank you ma’am”, his words. Now not in 7th grade sex ed it wouldn’t have been so weird. Same teacher had a diabetic fit and started yelling and writing E over and over while grading our tests.

Not a teacher, per se, but the senior dev on my old team once said something that left me scratching my head. We were trying to troubleshoot an inconsistent bug in our software, and I said, "Maybe it's a race condition," to which he replied, "There's no such thing."
Still trying to figure out what he meant by that.
Maybe he meant there's no such thing in the context of that application?

5th grade biology teacher explaining to me why teleportation is bad, referencing that Cronenberg movie with the fly
Never seen that movie, but wouldn’t teleportation just kill you from the demolecularzation or whatever?

Not my story but from my boyfriend. In English class they were supposed to write a review about a movie. He wrote a negative one about The Last Airbender from M. Night Shyamalan.
First she argued that "iceberg" is not an english word (this took place in Germany) and that he should instead use "icy mountain" they had to look it up in a dictionary to convince her otherwise and then she took points away because "why would you write a review about something and not recommend it".English, that language that borrows words from everywhere else?

Probably! He was a very smart guy (way more formal education in computer science than I), so I've always assumed there was some truth to what he said, but he didn't elaborate further and I didn't like bothering him with unnecessary questions, so I never followed up on the topic despite my confusion.

My chemistry teacher didn't understand why consumers complain about pesticides, since she claimed you could just rinse them off easily (which isn't entirely accurate). She got cancer shortly after.

I wrote a paper on the origin of the y chromesome in biology class in college and the professor docked me points with the note written in the margins "I don't think humans and papayas have a common ancestor."

college instructor for Communication 101 went on several unprompted rants about how depression wasn't real because it couldn't be detected with brain scans

I bet this person called themselves a Christian.

A middle school teacher asked for an analogy about something, I don’t remember what specifically, but I raised my hand and excitedly said “Oh! Like how math can help you understand music and music can help you understand math?”
The teacher looked at me like I was a total fool and said “music has absolutely nothing to do with math, how could you possibly think that?”
Since I was a snarky little punk, and I knew I was right, I said “have you heard about the circle of fifths? Let me tell you about it” and I proceeded to explain the mathematical beauty of music to the entire class. I even had sheet music in my bag from my piano lessons, so I pulled it out and showed it to everyone to explain the bars, tempo, and time signature, all of which are based on mathematical principles.
She was not happy to be proven wrong in front of a class of fifth graders.
music has things that can be described mathematically in ways that are largely historical, but not axiomatic in a math sense. but if learning music helps you learn math and/or visa versa, power to you.

In the movie it did worse: mangle you on reassembly because a fly got in the teleporter with you

The only agreeable thing here is that sautéed garlic and onions are yummy. The rest is some serious

Teachers loved telling you about shit they saw in movies and passing it off as wisdom

I thought you were talking about college instructors until you mentioned high school... especially because you referred to "women" instead of girls...

Maslow is overrated.
Is he/it? I have to wonder if this is one of those "The Beatles are overrated" kinds of opinions

n'avoir pas (verb goes in the middle)

I know it still needs to be conjugated. I also accept the possibility that I could be wrong.

Only boring people get bored.
Utter nonsense but it was said to my boy by a junior school teacher. Was an interesting conversation when I talked to her at parent teacher day.

Ah good point, this was like junior or senior year, I guess I thought of them as women.

Well speaking as a queer person I and many of my friends have had the pyramid cited to us to show why we would always be unhappy. The hierarchy is not an entirely flawed concept and in the broadest of strokes I agree with it. Which is why I only say it's overrated, not inherently wrong. The hierarchy just falls apart rather quickly for GSM folks while being taken as fact by the general population.

I'm familiar with the hierarchy, but I'm failing to see how or why it would be used to say that queer people would always be unhappy. What's that all about?
