I scared the heck out of my teacher today

So I was in class and we are learning about AI. I sit towards the front of the class but facing a window. My teacher said the word “Automaton”. I’ve never turned my head so fast and looked him dead in the eyes. He actually stopped what he was saying to try to figure out why I looked at him so suddenly. Btw an Automaton is a real world thing but I still called the democracy office.
