fandomhigh | How to Annoy Your Teachers (And Not Get Turned Into Animals) [Week 5, Period 2]

John's got a smile on his face when the students file in for his class this morning. Then again, when doesn't have a smile on his face for his class.

"Before I get started, I have to say whoever went to Professor Aly and got her so up in arms about her future child is my personal hero," John said. "She was quite agitated about it when I saw her the other day. So, brava and bravo. A job well done."

"So, today, we're going to learn about some more general ways to annoy people. Take a look at this hand out. For today's assignment, I'm going to be playing the part of random, unknown person who you're going to try and annoy with one or more of those techniques. Remember to put your own spin on things, make them yours. Being just like someone else will either bore the teacher or make them want to smack you. But, announcing to the teacher in the middle of class that they're communist glue sniffers will get you a glare and will probably get me a visit."

John passed out several other hand outs as well. "Read over them, ask questions, make them yours and try to annoy a random, unknown person as played by me."

He smiled at them. "Oh, and before I forget. Let me know if you went and annoyed Professor Aly or Principal Washburn. Also, for today's homework? It's time to annoy Vice Principal Hades."

John pointed to a large brown box that was sitting next to him. "In this box are buzzers. Each of you take one. And, at some point over the next week, try and stop by Hades office. All you have to do is go in there and buzz the buzzer a lot. If you'd like to do other things, that's fine but just buzz the buzzer at him. See how long it takes him to throw you out."

"And that's all for today. Let's get to it."

[OOC: Today's homework assignment has been approved by Hades. Thank you kindly to our illustrious vice principal. As always, tell the teachers John sent you and you won't get in trouble. Teachers, John is open to being yelled at, confronted or chase the appropriate thread. Have fun!]

"Yes, dear?"

"Did I stutter?"

"Are you a robot?"

John peered at her. "Tell me what you're doing right now."

Pam looked innocent.

"Tell me what you're doing right now."

John eyed her. "You're messing with me."

Pam consulted the handout, blushed slightly, and changed her inflection. "You're messing with me?"

"Am I?"

"...am I?"

She wasn't sure how to repeat a question as a question and make it not just repeating the same thing and then just go back to doing it wrong.

"Do you need some help?"

"...do you need some help?"

John glared at her. "This is getting old."

Pam sighed. "Okay so I'm an idiot and didn't repeat everything as a question at first like I was supposed to but I think it still worked? But then when I tried to do the questions you started asking questions and I don't know how to make a question more of a question."

She was okay with losing at this one in the name of her frustration level.

"Oops." John patted her shoulder. "It's okay. I was close to annoyed."

"I didn't want you to be really annoyed," she said, shrugging. "So that's okay with me."

"You're pretty good at this," John told her.

Pam brightened. "Thanks! I try!"
