An instructor sure pissed me off today!

You guys are just crushing the poor deceased horse on this one. He should have known where he was going and the instuctor should have been less of an ass. Pretty simple to me.

It's like writing a speeding ticket.... pick a speed you are comfortable with writing a ticket for, and write it for anyone over that limit. Simple.

lol.  That is a moronic comparison.  Sorry speaking my mind.

It is all good.


If I was an instructor, with lots of folks arriving late over the years, I would have developed my own set point for folks getting to stay or not. "Sorry folks, it's my policy."

Nobody said volunteering to teach a bunch of folks you do not know was going to make you Mr. Popular.

True there.  I bet the nerves get frayed with all the arse hats that they have to deal with.

Hey, no fair, I was gone all day yesterday and just read this!

Sucks that you wasted your time but I can't say I blame the guy much. When I am in a class on time and people start trickling in 5-10-15-20 minutes late and disrupting the class it pisses me off bigtime! It takes away from those who took the extra care to be on time. 

Any time I am going somewhere new to meet someone or attend some kind of function I give myself a huge time cushion out of respect for the people I am meeting. I also go over my route on a map the day before. Anyone who has fished or hunted with me much knows that I am chronically 15+ minutes EARLY, it's basic courtesy and there appears to be a few in this thread who don't grasp this. Show up 15 minutes late to the launch to fish and you will probably be doing some swimming to get to my boat if you want to join me!

Can't blame the guy much?  He took the time to walk out and give them a ration of *censored* about being late, while he was supposed to be instructing.....  Makes a lot of sense.  Best part is, he turns a 12 year old boy away, did the kid drive himself, or did his parents screw him over?  So now the kid gets punished for something his parents possibly caused.  "Thanks mom and dad, for giving this *censored* a reason to get his rocks off by turning me away"

Comparing this to the military is moronic at best.  It has no bearing on whether he was on time or not.  Congrats there Superman, you served and it made you more AWESOMER! 

Good thing you aren't paid to read there MC. I didn't compare this to the military. I said I could take a good guess who had been in. I was taught to respect a timetable. Eat your puke and keep grunting MC.

Yeah, ya know, because EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE that is in the military is super squared away and on time..... Hang in there, we'll get this figured out my Ain't Ready for the Marines Yet, friend.  BTW, that last line is one of the stupidest GD things I've ever seen in my life.  WTF is that even supposed to mean?  Were you dropped on your head one too many times?

Actually I am pretty sure that is how cops do it. I don't hear of many people getting pulled over for going 3 mph over the speed limit. 

  I know for a fact that it is... 

In this case what the instructor did was equivalent to a cop writing a ticket for 3 Mph over on the freeway, and being rude to the driver while doing it. Sure the cop is technically doing his job, that doesn't make him/her less of a jerk for being rude about it, and nobody would die if he didn't write the ticket.

Hey on Sunday night we are obviously not out hunting like Dr. Death, huntnnw and others so what the heck lets talk about being late to a hunters ed class and discuss whether we should be sent home over it.

No kidding, sad really, isn't it... ?

[dscubame]

I would say it sucked for him.

[dscubame]

Lol.  I do not have to punch in I own the place.  I am never late...

[csaaphill]

Must be nice to follow the rules down to the letter all the time for all who posted as such. I stick with my guns the instructor could of allowed some leway there.
Heres a question for those that say tough luck.
You work for a company that says that under no circumstance should an employee go outside to help anyone so my question is this.
You see an old lady on a cold day outside carrying packages she slips and falls on the ice outside do you say the heck with company policy and go out and help her or as you guys would say she's sh!t out of luck. I expect those that have already said so to say she's sh!t out of luck. What a society we live in now no wonder people go postal.

there should be a grace period.  15 min is not unreasonable.  like someone said, what if the instructor had a blowout and was late.  nothing they teach in hunter ed is so critical that you can't quickly make up in under 15 min.   

when my kids took there hunter ed class last year they gave everyone 10 or 15 min. But my kids made up half the class

Spoken like a disrespectful child no less, if you go to college you will find out just how much the average instructor appreciates tardy students.If you get yourself a job you will find out how much employers dig it...Hopefully by the time you are an adult you will start thinking of others before yourself. 

It sounds like the instructor was a dick about it but I would turn away latecomers as well in deference to those that had enough respect to show up on time.

[Skyvalhunter]

As long as the rules are presented at the first class then I see no problem turning people away.

[windygorge]

can we stop this thread now.....im sick of it showing on my unread.  thanks
