Sarcasm or conceited?
I'm sitting in class right now, and I just heard the funniest dialogue between two classmates when the instructor was explaining the details of a particular structure, namely, a revolving line of credit.
Instructor : A revolving line of credit works much like a regular line of credit with a few...
Classmate 1 : Uh, excuse me, but what is a line of credit?
Classmate 2 : Yeah, what's a bank? Why are we here?
Okay, now that I wrote it out I realized that it was a "You had to be there" moment. Hope you found that as funny as I did (I couldn't stop laughing). So was classmate 2 being sarcastic or just plain conceited?

I would pick conceited. I found it moderately funny, but depends on my mood though.
Honestly, it's people like Classmate 2 that makes people not want to ask potentially stupid questions in a class. Rather, people would just sit there quietly and proceed to get lost in the matter being taught.
Then again, a line of credit should be something that a banker, or any college student in debt should know about.

Hoho ... just immature mean people. This happens in some of my classes too, except people are more discreet about those mean comments that they only make it in whispers to friends. Not only dumb people gets picked on, smart people gets picked on, too. And the worst of it all, the one who picks on these people is smart himself. You'd think he'd know better.
