It's okay, my typewriter doesn't have a mute button either.

EPIC WIN!!!

Pff, the schools these days ... surfing for porn while the teacher is in front of you babbling for 1 hour, priceless. At least the boredom problem is solved ...

 

[Regulas]

Awesome

 

[Honis]

Haha, awesome prank.

I smell yet another lawsuit on this one... "You discriminated against my client because of his inability to pay for a laptop computer..." Not that I agree with the suit, but it's interesting that the school would allow or at least look the other way for all the laptops. (Not all typewriters are as loud as this one.)

The Teacher is a Moron..........

OMG! Now that is hilarious.

Years ago, Typewriters were used in certain classrooms. Admittedly they aren't too quiet, but they aren't loud enough to warrant being asked to leave.

Although in a lecture hall, depending on where in the audience the student was sitting, it could amplify the sound of the typewriter.

Teachers who are old enough to remember having typewrites in the schools instead of computers would probably laugh about this one and call the professor a rediculous old fart.

typewriters are loud he could just get a 199$ netbook... or a voice recorder.

But it's a crash proof word processor .

Really though he wasn't even typing that fast so it may have just been better for him to write it down by hand.

lol a kid in my class did this last year... the teacher almost peed himself in excitement though.

If they could only ask the remarkable amount of people who're unable to either disable windows sounds or find the "mute" button on their notebooks to leave as well.

I didn't realize that disrupting a class is cool and awesome. I thought this was juvenile and unimaginative.

Good ol' American education at it's best.

Yes, those 46 seconds in which the loudest noise ever produced interrupted that classroom really through everyone off guard. More likely, it kept more people awake during the lecture.

You've got to be kidding me. Students ARE allowed to have a little fun you know.

That's what I was thinking. A pen and paper would be faster than a laptop for him anyway.

They're probably offended he didnt bring a macbook pro. Most kids these days dont know shit about computers and it shows.

This was my thought exactly. Or how about the guy who's surfing the net instead of paying attention, and gets a rather annoying pop-up ad with music on it. Next thing you know, his speakers are blaring some obnoxious thing. That's more annoying than a typewriter.

Click, click, click, ping!

vs

Windows Wave (start-up), or the infamous Windows "DUH!" sound (error messages).
