A Bengaluru software engineer named Neil Agarwal garnered attention on social media for sharing a hilarious conversation with his former Math professor. The exchange, posted on X (formerly Twitter), displayed messages exchanged between the two dating back to Neil's college days in 2018. Despite Neil's graduation in 2021, the professor seemed to still believe he was a student, leading to a comical misunderstanding.
In the chat screenshots, Neil humorously shared his attempts to communicate with his professor about submitting math files during his college years. Years later, in 2024, the professor unexpectedly reached out to Neil, asking if he was in college that day, to which Neil clarified that he had already graduated three years prior. The professor's mistaken assumption that Neil was still in college added to the humor of the situation.
The viral post resonated with many users who could relate to similar amusing interactions with professors or relatives misunderstanding academic timelines. One user shared their experience of being mistaken for someone else by faculty members, showcasing the universality of such mix-ups in academic settings. Neil's post not only entertained social media users but also highlighted the enduring humor found in quirky exchanges from student life that can continue to be funny long after graduation.
