First row, center. I'm there to listen. I don't want distractions.

anne jackson · 1 year ago

the one on the wall

jaysten · 1 year ago

I'm the sound guy, so I always sit in the back.

I guess that means I'm to cool for school?

mike brennan · 1 year ago

against the wall. but honestly it would be more accurate if it wasn't a wall there but an isle.

Erica Foster · 1 year ago

Mid-center. I'm usually the one with the bring-it-on attititude...especially if it has to do with ministry. If I'm not interested in the topic, I'm too cool for school though.

Josiah · 1 year ago

hahah That chart is hilarious. I am definitely too cool for school..

Linda Sue · 1 year ago

In church two rows from the back DH usually ushers and that way he can come sit with me for at least a while during worship service. Otherwise - middle - like at movies or lectures. Also - back rows are closer to bathrooms - just in case anyone wondered HA!

Andy Denen · 1 year ago

Bring it on to the mid-center!!

Crystal Renaud · 1 year ago

depends on the conference, but generally i am against the wall. but there are times when i am a second-row sleeper.

C.C. aka LorelaiCC · 1 year ago

It depends. At church, I sent on a couch at the front of the room because I know my knitting during the service doesn't bother anyone. At other meetings, I usually sit in the back room so as to not distract anyone with my aforementioned knitting. LOL!

Elissa · 1 year ago

In school I always sat in the "bring it on" section but in church I guess I'm "teacher's pet" that's pretty funny!!!

Lindsay Best · 1 year ago

Front and Center...i get distracted REALLY easily!!

John Ireland · 1 year ago

tend to be a mix between front row and mid-center; mostly due to less visual distraction closer I am to speaker.

JudiFree · 1 year ago

front and center! I've always known that I'm the teachers pet.

vagabondrunn · 1 year ago

I have to be honest, I love conferences and seminars. Not sure why, but I do. I'm normally a Mid-center or a Second-Row Sleeper.

However, I can say, I've been to plenty of seminars that once I was in the middle I prayed to God(literally) that a seat would open up next to an exit so I could sit there for the rest of the weekend.

The one section I never played much with is the Teacher's Pet section. I always thought the speakers would call me out on something or ask me a question.

never thought of myself that way but I guess I'm too cool for school

Mandy · 1 year ago

3rd row (or so) so I can meet all kinds of new people, but usually closer to the aisle. I'm super short...I sometimes need to step out in the aisle to see. =/

Simone · 1 year ago

Back wall, near the door. I was always taller than everyone else in class, so I got put at the back. It's my place. Near the door, because if the instructor is lame, I need to get out of dodge without others noticing me. And, for the record, I was too cool for school.

rebeccamoon · 1 year ago

against the wall, definitely.
as in, "i'm paying attention and taking notes. please leave me alone." :)

Reese · 1 year ago

I sit near the door because I'm claustrophobic and paranoid. I like it when I works out that I can be on the same side of the room as the door and still be about half way up the aisle. In high school I was a back corner/wall sitter, but even then always on the side nearest the door.

stephen barry · 1 year ago

front and center. give it to me straight.

erin · 1 year ago

i am a front row person but not bc of teachers pet. bc i cant concentrate. where do you sit??

Tracy Edwards · 1 year ago

back, aisle. . . easy to get out!

Kevin M. · 1 year ago

LOL - Great diagram! I ALWAYS sit in the aisle midway to the back. I am claustrophobic so I need my space. :D

TIM · 1 year ago

ZZZzzzzzz. Huh? What?! 36!
Oh, sorry. I was sleeping.

(YAWN!)
Whasthequestion?

Mark · 1 year ago

I am the one out in the hallway catching up with people.

Rick · 1 year ago

From kindergarten on, I was always the tallest kid in class. Like, by a lot. So, when it came time to line up for concerts, assemblies, etc...I was always back row, smack dab in the middle. Any class I've taken since then, all the way through grad school, I just naturally stayed in that place. Even in church, it bugs me to have to sit anywhere else.

Texas in Africa · 1 year ago

I'm the professor. No, really. :)

Molly_Mac · 1 year ago

I sit in the second row center. Any further back and my ADD takes over.

Derek Sweatman · 1 year ago

usually behind a really big guy.

beccity98 · 1 year ago

At church always front and center. I guess that "teacher's pet wannabe" is correct, cuz I always want whoever's up there to notice me, but I guess I would also have to remove my invisibility cloak, cuz no one usually does.

Rachel · 1 year ago

Mid-center, all the way. People always asked for notes if they missed class. (Yeah, kinda annoying.) Similar seating arrangement in church, as well.

gbrad@mag · 1 year ago

6'3" 290 I'm usually too large for any middle seats . . . front,aisle, or back where ever there's the most room.

6YearMed · 1 year ago

mid center, bring it on.

unless it's optional seating for a long surgery, then on the stool nearest the exit in case i have to spew

Lorin · 1 year ago

I definitely sit in the front row! I'm not a teacher's pet, though. I just want to make sure that the teacher is the only thing I am paying attention to. It is too easy to get distacted if I'm not up front!

Adrienne · 1 year ago

Church and classes I'm taking: midcenter
Department meetings and faculty meetings at work: BACK ROWWWW...get me OUT without adding to my to-do list!!!

Marcus Hackler · 1 year ago

Front and Center - not because I'm a teacher's pet (maybe I'm living in denial), but because that's where I can hear the best.

Whit · 1 year ago

Mid-center or so...I tend towards the back center because I am a little taller than most of my classmates.

Tim · 1 year ago

Mid-center, I'm a total gunner in denial

Nick Blevins · 1 year ago

At WiBo I guess I would have been somewhere between "Bring it On" and "Too cool for school". But since I'm not cool, it's probably bring it on.

cathi · 1 year ago

What a way to patronize us analytical minds!
I'm a professor and will certainly keep this illustration in mind w/ my students.
Furthermore, I'm an against the wall student...primarily b/c I need an outlet for the mac that's attached to my lab, but I'm also sensitive regardless if I cry in public or not!

sarah · 1 year ago

hey, no fair. i had to sit in the back cause i wasnt officially a paying conference go-er! i left you all the good seats ;-)

The Domestic Goddess · 1 year ago

Front and center.

alicia · 1 year ago

always 3/4 or more towards the back. :) And off to the side. I want to be somewhere where I can escape easily. :)

Nick · 1 year ago

Mid-Center Bring it on.
I am intently listening and either blogging the seminar/conference or taking as many notes possible.

Renee Garcia · 1 year ago

I think the question is, where do YOU sit?!
I sit by the door... always! haha

Shanda · 1 year ago

I shift between bring it on and too cool for school. If I am kidless, it's always bring it on.

Ken · 1 year ago

depends....if I'm really interested and the topic is relevant to me-bring it on...sitting with Jason or Sunday night-too cool for school...if I just got off work that morning-sleeping, doesn't matter where I sit

Dana · 1 year ago

I sit as close to the door as I can...because my blatter is the size of a pea.

Kristi · 1 year ago

Definitely against the wall. I want to be able to see everyone else (sitting sideways with back leaning on wall). Anywhere else in the room - I feel exposed.

Somewhere I read that most cheaters sit at about the third row, where they can hide behind the front row teachers pets who would never cheat! And the back row are usually just sleeping or the teacher is watching them too closely.

Harry · 1 year ago

I vary between too cool for school and mid center.

cindy · 1 year ago

Against the wall. No attention, please. Plus I don't like to have the whole room at my back (creepy) and if I'm against the wall, I can turn to the side and then it's just the wall at my back. I know the back row would mean no one behind me but I'm certainly not cool enough for that section.

randy · 1 year ago

I like to site in the back corner way from the traffic of the people coming in to class (or what ever).

I could sit anywhere though, doesnt matter all that much.

Terrace Crawford · 1 year ago

Awesome hanging with ya yesterday. Very cool to meet you and glad you got to join us for lunch...

As to your post, I was apparently very 'uncommitted' yesterday. I sat near the exit all day -- in case I needed to slip out.

Maggie · 1 year ago

Ooooh, I've always been front row center, but my excuse is that my eye glasses Rx is bad and I can't see very well... maybe I am a closet teachers pet wannabe? Except in stats, I def sat right by the door...

petey*crowder · 1 year ago

Without a doubt, too cool for school.

It's also known as Backrow Baptists, but I'm now a Presbyterian....

TLC · 1 year ago

Depends upon the seminar. Often I sit in the middle, center. Sometimes, I sit at the back if I think I might slip out to head to another session elsewhere.

jamey johnson · 1 year ago

Yo, I'd prefer to call the "front row" the "FRONT ROW HOLY GHOST ROW"...however, if we have to call it "teacher pet wannabees" row, well then, that's ME all the way. Unless I'm PISSED OFF or TIRED then the back row is all mine baby!

amyharris · 1 year ago

I'm a mid-center sitter. We currently sit in the last row at our church in order to be able to relieve the nursery workers of our children quickly. That sounds worse than it is.

Heidi Reed · 1 year ago

Mid-center -- bring it ON! :D

Esteban · 1 year ago

front and center, and I reject any insinuation of "wannabe" haha

bryonm · 1 year ago

back row. but i'm not cool... i'm just late.

lynse leanne · 1 year ago

I am a mix between closest to the door and the back row.

Depends on where i am. A new environment or if i am alone i am a back row person.

If i am in a regular place and i like who i am listening to i am a middle center.

I judge before i even know what i am listening to...horrible i know.

billy · 1 year ago

last. thats how i cheat!!!! lol
