I am currently taking pathophysiology and in an associates nursing program, I have a year left.

Last week, in class (which is a computer classroom so there's a computer in front of everyone) during lecture, I was scrolling through the powerpoints and looking up things pertaining to lecture. I also sent an email to a professor. While the class took a 5 minute break, a girl that sits a seat away from me (with no one in between us) rudely snapped at me "Can you NOT click and type through the whole class??!" I replied "I didn't know it wasn't allowed." I was taken aback because I thought I was typing quietly and also, I was doing school stuff, not chatting on FB.

Anyways...flash forward to this week and I am carefully, quietly scrolling thru the powerpoint/clicking. There is a girl next to the girl that doesn't like the clicking and she is also typing/clicking on stuff. I can tell the annoyed girl is getting really irritated by us because she keeps sighing loudly.

She then starts flipping through pages SUPER loudly and then starts slamming her books and notebooks closed and tossing them on her desk loudly. Every time she takes a sip of her energy drink she slams the can down. I texted my friend that sits on the other side of the class if she could hear it and she said she could.

The entire situation was so uncomfortable and it's not okay that she does things like this, regardless of if she's annoyed. I really hope she doesn't do this in other classes. I wanted to get opinions on whether or not I should email the director of the nursing program about this?

Everyone already covered how it's a terrible idea to complain about someone complaining about you. But I was thinking... When you get your first job as an RN you are probably going to get asked in the interview to "explain a time you had a conflict with a co-worker or classmate, and how you resolved it." They won't want to hear that you immediate ran to tell someone.
