My classmates and I were waiting for like 10 min for the class before us to get out. The doors are open and the students from the last class leave. 5 minutes before our class starts I walk in and open the windows because the room is stuffy and hot and sit down to eat my short lunch. The classroom desks out of order. Shortly more of my fellow students come in. Then the faculty member is rude by using a mean tone and insults us by saying we are rude for coming in and he needs to talk to 3 girls about a confidential matter. I walk out the door but say in two minutes technically his class is over and we can come in. In two minutes, my class mates and I are planning on entering but before we do him and the girls come out. As he comes out he uses a rude tone with me and says he is a teacher and I have no right to tell him what to do and says I am being rude. Then he asks me for my name and I pause for a sec and say "Jack" (not my real name) and he says and don't be one and now I know you are and classmates are going to snicker about this. We all then enter the classroom and one of my classmates says "yeah we are going to snicker you jerk." The professor continues to talk to the three girls outside.
We tell our professor what happened and she was like that was rude of that guy and I didn't deserve to be yelled at if were were sitting quietly in the classroom and our professor said she will try to make it early next time.
We all learned that the professor from last time teaches a freshmen class and think he was in a bad mood from that class.
Anyways, anyone heard of this or have advice? I kind of wish my fellow students back me up more, which I think they would have if the guy got more rude.
It's not really clear, but if you went in while he was still talking to his students and before your class began, then I would agree that you were rude. He may or may not have handled it well, but it sounds like you were being petty. My advice would be not to be.

He let out his class early. And I don't think as a faculty member you should talk rudely to students.
If your school is like mine, most lecture classes get out at :50 after the hour, which gives ten minutes for people to gather their things and leave, and for the next class to come in, get settled, and get set up for their lecture.
In that ten minute span, the classroom doesn't belong to anyone. It's a transition period.
If the matter he had to discuss with his students was super confidential, it should have been done in his office.
But ultimately, I wouldn't worry about it unless there's a good chance you'll have to take a class from him later and think he'll remember your face.

It's hard to understand the sequence of events here. Are you saying that the first professor was still in the classroom with a couple of students, that officially his class time was not quite over, and you walked in there, opened some windows and started eating lunch?? If so, that's about the rudest thing I've ever heard. No, wait - he asked you to leave and you actually answered back that he had only two minutes and you were coming in? My god, I think I'd have called security. And then your classmate actually called him a jerk and you all were "snickering." Wow. Quite honestly, I think some kind of disciplinary action should be taken against you. You were incredibly rude, way out of line, and had no right to even enter the classroom in the first place, much less give the teacher a 2 minute warning. Even if the class goes over time, it is up to your teacher to handle it - not you.
I agree the professor's response about "Jack" was unprofessional, but you were over the top disrespectful and inappropriate. If I were that professor, I would have waited for your teacher, gotten your full name, and reported you as a disruptive student. You are lucky he was only rude.

You were both rude, but he was right, the classroom was his until his time was up.
Stuffy know it all academian was rude to stuffy know it all student? WAR!!!!!!!!! Call out the SPLC and the ACLU. These kinds of microagressions should not go unheaded or unpunished. Can we take away the profs tenure?
