So my astronomy lab professor has old vet syndrome and likes to just ramble on and on and make random comparisons to the army that no one gets.
But last night he couldn’t get the computer to stop refreshing a program, so when the window popped up it would chime, but he just decided to ignore it and carry on lecturambling.
Well eventually he gave up and went over to the computer and said louder than he should have, “shut up, you damn communist!”
And in that moment I realized I too have old vet syndrome.
