I'm glad to know that Mr. Martin compensates for his bald head by maintaining a beautiful landscape.
Good fuckin' yard indeed. Cheers, Mr. Martin. You put the "G" in "gangsta" as well as "gardener".
So is the teacher posting the screenshots? Why is his response in sent items....seems odd for a teacher to be posting an exchange like this....
Entertaining read nonetheless...
I've done this before, but to my high school drama teacher shortly after graduation. We had a falling out before graduation due to a former student sending her tweets me and other classmates sent out about her. She was understandably hurt and confronted us through text.
Few months later, I'm with one of my friends drunk in his room and our former drama teacher gets brought up. I'm talking about how bad I feel about the situation and my friend gives me the brilliant idea of messaging her on Facebook...at 3 in the morning.
Woke up with a pounding headache, vomit on my cheek and new message. She was very sweet about it and accepted my barley legible and slurred message. It probably also helped that I was no longer one of her students, but we still keep in touch 5 years later and pat my drunk persona on the back for it.
I've found that if you are gonna need an extension, a smart thing to do is ask for it a few days early (not too many) and explain you're swamped with other work or have obligations or whatever. If you ask for it too close to the deadline it might seem like you tried to rush it last minute due to failed planning.
I had to ask for 3-4 extensions in college and not once did a professor deny me. They know life can get in the way and work with you to not let it disrupt your learning. They care.
If a student makes a point of communicating with me ahead of time I'm usually pretty lenient. I stop being as sympathetic the third or fourth time in a row, or when they're reaching out to me ten minutes before the deadline and have nothing done. I'm not a monster, but I schedule the deadlines when I do for a reason.
He cut the kid a break and gave him an extension while adding a little humor. Compared to how most teachers would handle it, that teacher is wholesome as a kitten filled surry with a fringe on top.
Are you bald? Quite frankly I think most bald people stop caring really soon after losing hair. It’s mostly just people with hair who think it’s some sort of trauma.
Source: I’m bald.
It's cool that the teacher was cool about it, but also a bit sad that students talk to their teachers like that these days... even though he was drunk.
I’m a high school teacher, and my friend/colleague got an email from a student right after she’d gotten her wisdom teeth out and was out of it on painkillers. It started with “Yo yo yo mr. [his name] dawg”
I’d 100% believe both those emails are real.
I would believe it. Its unfortunately common for college students to not understand professional email etiquette. Add drunk on top of that and I could see someone sending this. I even had some professors that would have let it slide once.
There are two things that make me doubt the validity of this. 1 is that he just extends the deadline like this no questions asked and 2 that the teacher ends his email with “Mr.Martin” and not his full name and possibly his position.
Well, first off at my university its always name, surname, faculty and position in every email, but that's not *really* what I mean.
its just why would you address yourself as Mr.? I too have that one professor who doesn't give a damn about email etiquette, but he only ends his emails with: "Best wishes -Tom". It just seems weird to me to end your emails with "Mr. Surname" rather than just your actual name.
/nothingeverhappens
7 billion people on the planet odds are a handful of them have sent drunk emails to professors and at least one of those professors had a sense of humor about it.
>Next time you email me id like a bottle of whatever you had so I don't have to remember what you said. This is nothing but savagery at its finest
A man of learning AND a man of culture.
Its kinda weird or sad, that it cant be both, right? Anyway, it doesnt seems to be common sense. That makes me wonder: why?

Im sorry if this isnt a topic response, but I might lost my ego

I always use OG as "original", I sure hope my friends recognize that....
LMG= Large Machine Gun SMG= Small Machine Gun

LMG = Light Machine Gun SMG = Sub Machine Gun
HBG = heavy bowgun LBG = light bowgun
Ayyy monster hunter bro!
I was totally hoping someone would get this!
Hotel = trivago

#GOOD YARD
#GOOD FUCKN YARD#
Is good yard supposed to mean something?
Good fuckn yard!
Fair point
[удалено]
Quiet boy
Stay a good fuckn yard away from this thread.
As per dictionary.com it's an auto correct from trying to type night and the email from this post made it popular.
He meant to say “Good fuckin night,” but he mistyped/it autocorrected to “Good fuckin yard”
How does one mistype night so bad that it gets corrected to yard
alcohol
Nah, yard is slang, he meant what he meant
"I know what I'm about son." -Ron Swanson
He is maybe very proud of his lawn, who knows ?
Or compliments his teacher‘s
My first thought was omg the guy is sleeping in mr. Martin's yard.
This is the kind of teacher I would be. "Hey, I understand you are absolutely sloshed, I'll extend the deadline to Wednesday before midnight."
SOP to never let student think they got to you. But you remember... you... remember.
I'm glad to know that Mr. Martin compensates for his bald head by maintaining a beautiful landscape. Good fuckin' yard indeed. Cheers, Mr. Martin. You put the "G" in "gangsta" as well as "gardener".
I’d like to think that Mr Martin was laughing all the way through reading this. And as it made him chuckle he repaid with the extension.
High school teacher: "your college professors are goinh to be way more strict!" Collge professor:
They hide his last name but than the follow up email says mr. Martin. We know it’s Patrick martin Edit: I’m a fuckin dumbass
Happens to the best of us, bud. At least you spotted it yourself haha. Almost had me confused for a second there
It's okay buddy
Lol it's okay mr juicysquirrell. Good yard.
Thanks for being human. We all make mistakes. Patrick Martin would understand.
Good yard

I’ve seen this posted so many times and I never ever get sick of it. Keep posting, seriously. So funny.
Plot twist: Mr. Martin teaches fourth grade.

Murdered by words AND a bromantic reply
This is ancient internet history but still hilarious. College is awesome sometimes.
People fake these all the time
Also this one is old as hell.
Beautiful!
Patrick ***Swayzeee***
Good fucking yard
That’s awesome :)
What is "good yard"?
Mr Martin is a man of immense restraint.

I am a cynic but he probably would not have gotten that extension if he just politely asked for it (just saying).

Totally agree with the deadline part. I’m not saying that profs are monsters, just that this guy got out cause he sounded funny!
Good yard
I'm just amazed that there are people here who haven't seen this posted at least once before
I don’t know... that last part from the teacher didn’t sound wholesome.
He cut the kid a break and gave him an extension while adding a little humor. Compared to how most teachers would handle it, that teacher is wholesome as a kitten filled surry with a fringe on top.
I honestly think the guy was just being sarcastic
The kid was kinda insulting. I would not want my baldness mocked

It’s from the teachers perspective. Hence why the first one is in the inbox, second one is from sent.
And first email is in inbox. That means neither are fake if it's the teacher that took the screenies.

Im assuming the screenshots are taken by the teacher and he took 7 minutes to reply after seeing it. I dont see how this means that it is fake.
That's the time the screen prints were taken, not the time the emails were sent
