yo, LG, man..
It happens. But eventually, you learn something rare. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND SPIN IT.
I take a simple statement, and always add a little flare to it, so it STICKS in the friggin skull.
I also avoid crowds. Crowds are stupid beasts. One on one is the only way to REALLY make an impact. Even if I talk to a crowd, i say *this sentence* to one specific person, and *this sentence* to another.
but the most important thing to do is THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL BE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
Like complementing a teacher in class is not acceptable. We do that here, because this is casual. Class is formal, despite what you think. The teacher is trying to help you learn, and is being paid to do so. Common courtesy is one thing. But if I went to the accountants today and told them "you're doing a good job", they would be like "Hell yeah I am, and you aren't my boss, (even though in terms of what they provide to me, I am their customer) !" It would be arrogant for me to do so.
Just as a teacher is doing their job, and it is arrogant to tell them in front of their customers (the students) that they are doing their job.
If you feel the need to compliment a teacher, do so in writing, and really reflect why you appreciate it PERSONALLY. If the teacher cares about what they are doing, they will read it, and you may even get some more depth on the subject that may not be fit for general classroom. Like when a teacher tried to convey how Batshit crazy Sir Isaac Newton was, i was refreshed that the illusion of Scientific Detachment was dispelled in class. i wrote the teacher about it, and was glad we say he was a genius, but a misfit, and how this was much more likely, than him being a boring stick in the mud. The teacher responded to my letter, and I gained a level of depth into Issac Newton's life that would never make it into a classroom.
Like, he had been overexposed to Mercury fumes, and was going nuts, and in eight days formulated the Calculus. He formulated in Eight Days what it takes people five years to learn. Why don't they teach it... Cause the lowest common denominator kids will be stupid and try to smoke mercury to do better in math, or something!!!
Besides, a complement while in class is empty and sounds like kissing-ass. When you go see a teacher after four years later and say "when you said ..., you made such an impact on me" and it shows in what you did with what you learned, THAT is when you really complement a teacher.
at most, thank them when you leave their workplace, just as you would a waiter when you leave a resturant.

Fap, I understand your pain. Let it all out. After all, you are a citizen of a third world country that is afraid of friggin Venezuela. That's like being French, without the rich history or the belgian food named after you.
Must hurt to not have nukes and have to hide behind insults in a language you can barely speak, all while in a so-called country owned by Whites that is named after a river birds like to shit in.

and for the record, I DO have a collar and cossack, I just choose not to wear it.

Highlander65- that was really good what you wrote, I would like to acknowledge that.
Text communication is definitely something that can be quite sterile. The reason why well-written novels are, well you know, well-written, is due to the one-n-one factor that Raum brought up. But otherwise, because the inflection is not present, it's hard to ascertain how something is being said.
That's why we have emoticons, y'know?
Look, I respect the decision for them not to be used much, and I realise that I go overboard with them... But part of the reason I use them is to try and help people realise their usefulness. Honestly, Drew, I really don't know if you are being genuinely amused and happy sometimes, eg. you'll just write "lmao @ fap" in a post, and to me that conveys no emotion at all. If I didn't know what sort of person you were, I would take that as completely phoney, indifference, or plain sarcasm.
It isn't necessary to embellish every single expression of amusement with "oh YAY! YIPPEEEE! that was SOOO FUNNY! HAHAHA!!!" and flood it with a tonne of big-grin emotes, not at all. Actually that's just ridiculous.
And yes, back when I was in school, whenever I heard someone say "or sir/Miss <whatever> that was so great of you"- I'd regard them as a total arse-kissing teacher's pet, and roll my eyes until they showed two pears and a plum. Heck, I still do.
But... I still go out of my way to privately thank someone for doing something for me that they were payed to do. It's just in my nature to be more than grateful for a well-performed service when they went the extra mile for me.
