In high school, my trigonometry teacher actually raised her voice and told a student "that's because you're too dumb" when he said that he couldn't understand the idea of the sinusoidal functions. She had never even drawn a unit circle, she only explained the Pythagorean theorem and then shouted "SOHCAHTOA" a few times.

In college, my Physics II (waves and optics) professor muttered inaudibly to the chalkboard throughout every lecture, wrote in unintelligible scrawl, and made numerical or conceptual errors in about a third of his example problems. He would then stare at the book for a minute, and then start over without explaining what he had done wrong. He's actually a highly accomplished researcher, so it was pretty bizarre.

A better question is why didn't you sage?
