Someone answer me one very simple question: What the hell is wrong with people? Everyday I walk through campus, through hallways, down streets, and I sit in class or in various places on campus and I listen. The things that I witness are beyond frustrating:

My Pet Peeves:

1) It is 1:45 and the class ends at 1:50.. and people begin to start to pack up not only making it impossible for the professor to be heard but it rushes them and I am sure it makes them feel horrible in the fact that people cannot wait to get the hell out of their classroom. Rude.

2) When someone's phone rings during class you are suppose to turn it off as quickly as possible, right? Wrong. There are select few that will actually pick up there phone and say hello in the middle of a lecture and proceed to talk to the person on the other end until they are out the door. Rude.

3) I have missed classes before, no doubt about that, but when you have a class that has a maximum capacity of 250 and only about 50 people are there each day... it's a problem. Come on people get off your asses, and get to class! If you were planning on never coming to class then why didn't you just take it online? Rude.

4) Please do not ask more than 4 questions in lecture. Put your hand down and listen. More often then not the answer to your question is always, "I was just getting to that".

5) If you are going to play solitaire in class it is the same as not coming to class. Just sayin'

AND MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE OF ALL TIMES IS...

6) On a multiple choice midterm/exam/test, the standard labeling of questions is ABCD but sometimes you will get a question that is labelled AXCD or something to that effect. Obviously, that is not correct and there is no place on the scantron for you to mark off 'X' so use your head and realize that it is a typo and that 'X' is suppose to be a 'B'. The same goes for simple spelling mistakes. If the question has the word 'hte' or 'nad' please do not put up your hand and ask what these words are suppose to be. Use that handy thing humans call common sense!

Stupidity is mighty powerful!
