AZ posted something that reminded me of the following story:

I was attending Columbus State Community College and taking CPT 101, CPT 101 is a computer class that covers basic computer skills in Word, Excel, Access, and Power Point. My teacher reminded me of Mrs. Flippi (from Billy Madison)but she was also quite rude. If you had a question in class she required you to e-mail it to her. WTF why would I e-mail you a question if you are right in front of me ... whatever hag! Needless to say I hated her, Seriously I HATED her.

Anyway.... it is down to finals and it is the last day of finals for Spring quarter. I am sitting in front of my PC and taking the test. It is one of these tests that keeps your score in the corner so if you answer a question correctly then your score remains at 100% but if you answer a question wrong it drops your score the appropriate point value. I take the Word portion of the exam and have a 100% - at this point we were to raise our hand so that Mrs. Flippi could come over and record our scores. So I raise my hand she comes over marks down my beautiful 100% and goes off to record other scores. Next I am on the Excel portion and I go through to the end of the test and I end up with a 95%. I repeat raising my hand and so forth. As I go forward with the Access portion I am getting more and more discouraged then when I think that all is lost and the score in the lower left hand corner of my screen says 35% and I have accepted that I will be receiving a D for the class ... my screen goes blank... I mean just blackness... gone. I look around and everyone's screen is blank. Mrs. Flippi is flipping out running around the class trying to figure out what happened. Finally after about 20 minutes of trying to locate the problem with no success Mrs. Flippi looks at us, exasperated and says "I guess we will just have to use the scores I have already recorded." I about did a back flip! To this day I cannot use Access!
