Haha, yes, I have. I've had a few teachers who have thought that they're just absolute geniuses (I think part of that comes with the profession. Their entire job is just to, well, teach to students who generally haven't been out in the world much and have no idea who or what these people are about. It shouldn't be all that surprising that it leads to some massively overblown egos).
My first day of college, back in September 2007, I had psych 101. I misread the start time for the class (and remember, this is community college here, not exactly UCLA or Oxford), got lost and by the time I got to the auditorium where my class was being held, I was a half hour late. Well, let's just say that the professor wasn't exactly a fan of the tardy. First class of my college career and I got called out in front of over a hundred people about how I wasn't respecting the learning environment. However, I didn't get kicked out, so I'm one up on Buffy (although with the way that class went, I may as well have been). 🙂

I think every college has a few professors like that. As @AlwaysBangel said, its almost a given in academia to run into a few overblown egos.

Thank Goodness It's Buffy
People who seem to abuse their level of authority? They aren't just in colleges. 😉
Remind me, who is that? 😱

Buffy's teacher in "The Freshman" who kicked her out of class. LOL

I can think of a few who looked like that, but I'd sooner have them looking like that than have one spout a load of rubbish, like the Black Death info. (S1, ep1)

LMFAO Right?! The Black Death teacher is one of my faves to make fun of.

Hahaha no...but there would have been a confrontation. I don't usually argue with teachers, I tend to get along well with them, but he was seriously such a jackass. I mean maybe I would have just yelled, "OKAY CHILL, I AM LEAVING." but yeah...I wish Buffy had said something. I did have a total bitca of a woman scream at me in the 3rd grade. Oh man...I'm sorry but whenever I think about this I get so worked up and I have to vent.
I was 8 years old. I was wearing a fuzzy pink sweater and my hair was curled. I looked sweet and innocent, for the most part...I was. Kind of. We went to a class called "Stomp" every Monday, I believe. We made music with some crappy wooden instruments. The teacher was a loud mouthed woman (seriously, you could sometimes hear her in the parking lot) with a failed music career. She took pictures of us all with our instruments, and she uploaded a lot of them to the school website. All of my friends made it on, except for myself and my partner in the class. I showed my mom and I asked her if she would email the teacher, asking why I wasn't on it. She told me I could do it because she was busy.
I wrote a VERY polite email, my mother proofread it, and I hit send. No big whoop. I arrive to school Monday and my math teacher (who pretty much hated me, for sucking at math) asked if my mom sent the crazed woman an email. I told her, no, I had sent it from my mom's account. I WAS HONEST. My teacher said, "Hmph. I thought so." Whatever. I go to Stomp, the crazed woman points to me and says, "YOU, come here." we go outside and she proceeds to scream in my face about how she was going to hunt my mother down and that she had no respect FOR ME, AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD, FOR SENDING AN INNOCENT EMAIL. She went on and on about how it took her hours to put up the pictures.
1st of all, I was 8. I was allowed to make mistakes, but in this case, what I did wasn't even a big deal.
2nd of all, what idiot takes hours uploading some pictures to the internet???
I was convinced that I had actually done something wrong, because no adult had ever yelled at me like that. I didn't tell my mom until about a year ago, maybe. How sad is that? Haha
so yeah. I had a more humiliating and terrifying experience than Buffy did, and I was only in the 3rd grade. I really wish I had told my parents back then because oh.my.god. it would have been WWIII.
Sorry, I had to.

Hahahaha!!!! Wasn't expecting that to be the topic. Its so awesome that it is though! I think I had a few teachers that came across like at.. especially on the first day of class when they are going through 'what to expect.' The whole 'I run a hard class, etc' speech
However.. they came across more like this b-

However, I had pretty awesome professors in College. I even had one teacher ask me to move in with her at the end of the semester. So I always look back at that and wonder.. haha

I did have one like that when I first went to college... I ended up dropping his class 'cause he said something to me that basically questioned my intelligence in front of the class. I knew if I didn't get the hell out of the class I'd end up killing the man.

I have really for the most part had excellent teachers, both in public K-12 and in college. I greatly urge everyone to pursue their education should you so choose. I'm definately pro-school!
With that being said, I've had a few nutters in there who I butted heads with including...
My 9th grade English teacher who tried to mark me off for writing a paper over the Choctaw Trail of Tears, cause she thought that only Cherokees made that trek (I fixed that)
My gen ed music for non-majors teacher who hated me because I missed the first week of classed (I had my baby literally a week before classes began) and wouldn't ever forgive me for it
My Crim law professor, who terrified me the first day by kicking someone out of class for being 2 seconds late and then literally grilled another kid for the entire class over the reading, and picked apart everything he said, and then kicked another kid out the next day for not doing the reading, and then went back to the same kid from the day before and grilled him again. We figured him out after a bit though, and realized why he teaches like he does, and saw that he really wasn't that scary. He did wear a "punisher" t-shirt on the day of our final though!

Yeah, there's a couple here. One is more concerned that we all buy his book than with teaching the actual topic and the other thinks we're still at secondary school and treats us like children. Needless to say people don't usually turn up to many of their lectures if they can help it.
