/lit/ - Literature

Found an old library book in my house last checked out 2005. I used a boxcutter to get the plastic shit off the cover and ripped out all the stickers and the return slips.
Can't believe you losers are still imprisoned by your own morals.

Deep down, you know that he can still have meaningful connections outside tinder, and that maybe he already has them, or doesn`t want one right now.
Deep down, you know you are envyous.

Man I'm not even sure if I should post this in case anyone can identify the guy, but it's the best "that one professor" story I have

We used to have this guy we called "the Cough Goblin"

>first year english literature student
>go to lecture on "irish women poets"
>lecturer is ten minutes late
>eventually we see a little stooped old man walk into the hall and up to the podium
>starts his lecture, everything proceeding as normal, some bullshit about menstruation, idk I used to just read through my lectures in first year
>this only a couple of weeks after the start of term, coming into winter, literally everyone has a cold
>someone in the hall coughs
>the Goblin stops what he's saying, looks around the hall
>eventually resumes his lecture
>moments later, someone else coughs
>he stops again
>looks like he's about to say something, but decides not to
>inevitably, after he's again resumed his lecture, there comes a third cough
>this time he can't contain himself
>starts to tell us about how people nowadays don't know how to "breath properly"
>claims he literally never coughs, because there's no need if you know how to "breath properly"
>after a ten minute diversion on the decline of breathing technique over the last fifty or so years, he resumes talking about another poem about having periods
>some nerds are trying to stop themselves from coughing, but most people are hacking to their heart's content
>there was a facebook groupchat for our course, which we used to synchronize coughs
>first groups of two or three coughing at the same time, then larger groups
>just few enough that it isn't completely obvious that we were planning it
>every couple of minutes he's stopping his lecture to rant about coughing and proper breathing again
>go off king
>at one point he himself starts coughing his guts up
>blames us
>two people sneeze in quick succession
>he almost gets up and leaves

He didn't even get halfway through his planned lecture
