In my 3 pm class, somebody ripped out the inside door knob and hid it in the professor’s desk. So you can’t leave the classroom without finding the knob and reattaching it. 

I never want to become the kind of professor who has to come up with something like this to get students to stay.

    Or, if the building is anything like the one I work in, the knob just fell off and someone put it in the desk because they didn’t know what else to do with it.

    It is surely a fire code violation, though.

      Totally! It took us a while to find the knob, reattach it and open the door. If there were an emergency, we’d be dead already.

    Knob is UK slang for penis – I was expecting more from this post 😉

      Both literal and figurative IIRC (I think I’ve heard it more figuratively, as in “Don’t be a nob….”

      I was thinking “Stray Knob” was an administrator who’d gotten lost….
