Don't know what you're doing, but this works:

$ irb
2.0.0p247 :001 > class Foo; def test; p "hi"; end;end
 => nil 
2.0.0p247 :002 > foo = Foo.new
 => #<Foo:0x007fdef1882f20> 
2.0.0p247 :003 > foo.test
"hi"
 => "hi" 
2.0.0p247 :004 > class Foo; def test; p "bye"; end;end
 => nil 
2.0.0p247 :005 > foo.test
"bye"
 => "bye" 
2.0.0p247 :006 > class Foo; def self.test; p "bazinga!"; end;end
 => nil 
2.0.0p247 :007 > Foo.test
"bazinga!"
 => "bazinga!" 
2.0.0p247 :008 > foo.test
"bye"
 => "bye"
