As I pointed out, I (a male instructor btw, wonder why you made that assumption) have never run over into another teacher's class. I am always the last class of the day. I have, though, moved my class to another location to accommodate the teacher before me on numerous occasions, even without notice. Those are the regulations of my college and the expectations placed on me; the teacher in front of me is not required to give up the classroom if they are teaching. It is my responsibility to use one of the many alternative spaces.
Based on your user name, I believe it was a valid assumption. But thanks for clarifying.
As to the rest of your post, you already made that clear. I was simply clarifying your beliefs for another poster, based on your statement here:

Reason: Could be misconstrued as rude
Greeeat.... stunning display of maturity and professionalism on both your parts.
Seriously, there is no reason for you to enter the room before your instructor arrives. Why create discord where it achieves nothing?
Because this isn't elementary school where you have to have an adult with you at all times.
I have three classes today, and I know I'll walk into the classroom before any of my instructors do. Maybe OP's school is different, or works like wherever Marigold teaches at, but I've never known a school where you have to wait around to get into an unlocked classroom, especially if you have a class starting in the next few minutes.
It's got nothing to do with creating discord. The way it's been set up at every school I've attended it's meant to help prevent it. There is at least a five minute space between one class ending and the other beginning so that students have time to get in, take out whatever they need, and be prepared to start on time.
That time is available to the instructor as well, and gives them a chance to set up whatever they need.
Maybe OP was fantastically rude, but this sounds like it's turning into a complete mess.
At least the semester's almost over.

I never thought of marigolds6 being a female user name. Weird.
Anyway, these are not my beliefs. This is actual university policy on the use of classrooms for my college (and only my college because it has more multi-hour night classes). Each college has different policies too.
The college of Law allows no such runovers. Most other colleges allow a 10 minute run over into the next class based on the official class start times. (Officially university policy is that classes cannot officially start until 10 minutes after their published start time. Professors have to take care of class business and not lecture/start discussion for that first 10 minutes.)
We have no "passing times" between classes and do not use them (the 10 minute run over accommodates that). For example, the class before me is 2:30pm to 5pm and my class is 5pm to 7:30pm, and if there was a class after me it would be 7:30pm to 9:00pm.

I would have never guess that a male would choose a name of a flower for his user name. Weird.

It's a Nirvana song reference. Maybe Nirvana has been gone too long now for people to get it. When I first started using it in the early 90s, most people knew it right away Or if you are from Britain, its a brand of gloves and a color.
