A coworker is working his way through school, and as part of one of his classes, needed to find a guest speaker in the IT field, and asked me. I accepted, even though I'm not a fan of public speaking, and got my speech put together.
I give the speech, with only minor technical difficulty from the computer, did a quick Q&A session with the class, then sat down next to <coworker>.
Next speaker gets up, references something from my speech, and the instructor turns around and jokingly punches me in the shoulder, as one would a close friend. I strongly debated going the route of "Introverted, don't you dare touch me" geek. ...Instead, I settled with the safer for <coworker>'s grade death glare, which the teacher promptly shrugged off. O_o
Then, this IT Systems professor went on about the stock markets, while I tried desperately to find a tie-in to anything tech related, outside of watching stocks from finance.yahoo.com. Sounds like my coworker was about ready to go complain to the dean about the professor, and today sealed the deal. Highly inappropriate contact, and I should have probably filed a complaint about him, but oh well.
