Here it is, yet another poll by me inspired by a real-life situation:

1. Do you have any professors/teachers that usually show up late for class?
2. When was the latest one of your professors/teachers ever showed up?
3. Have you and/or the other students in one of your classes ever invoked the "15-minute rule"? If so, how long did it take?

And for anyone who dosn't know, the 15-minute rule is a rule of thumb in college for when to leave the classroom when the professor hasn't shown up. Basically after 15 minutes after class is supposed to start, it's assumed they'll be a no show, and everyone can leave.

1. Yes, I have one this semester that always shows up 5-10 minutes late.

2. Back in community college, I had a psychology professor that always showed up about 15 minutes late (we never invoked the 15 minute rule since he always showed up that late) and one day he came in 25 minutes late, the worst part was that it was a 50-minute class! Of course like any good psychologist, instead of admitting he had a problem getting his rear out of bed in the morning, he just said he had a "condition" and that was just part of who he is, and that people need to accept that.

3. I had a economics professor that didn't show up once, but then another professor came in to tell us class was canceled. The same thing's also happened in a stats class. Today though in the class I have this semester where the professor is always late, after 20 minutes after class was supposed to start and still no professor, everyone in the class agreed to leave. So I guess that counts as the 15-minute rule even though it was actually 20.
