“You might be in the wrong room”: Professor’s hilarious blunder leaves the Internet divided

A professor’s hilarious mistake has sent the internet into tizzy. Taking to Twitter, Professor Joseph Mullins shared how sad he felt when none of his students showed up for his class. “Today, no one turned up for my 8.15am class. There were about 40 students,” he wrote on the microblogging website. Mr. Mullins further explained that when he decided to write an email to his students and let them know that their feelings were hurt, the response he received made his sad situation laughable.

“Sitting in the empty room, I email them, trying to hide my hurt feelings. 2 minutes later, I get a reply:” Professor, we think you may be in the wrong room. Hole forever,” the professor’s tweet read.

No one came to my class at 8.15 today.

0 students of about 40. Sitting in the empty room, I email them, trying to hide my hurt feelings.

2 minutes later, I get a reply: “Professor, we think you may be in the wrong room.” So anyway I go to live in a hole forever.
