Here at the times we spend endless hours concocting the thoughts of students into articles such as this one. However this is one with a bit of a twist. It's not about you guys. It's about those entrusted with your education, the one's you all blame when the sh1t hits the fan....regardless of how much blame they actually deserve. Here are the many things lecturers hate hearing.
During revision classes....
"sure you may as well not have thought the syllabus"
"Did you print off the power point slides?"

"I'm sorry Jean but this is quantum physics, there is no place for your hatred of men here"

You're paid enough for what you do.
For what, putting up with little shits like you? Hardly

Because dear student, you answered the question correctly but didn't provide anything new to the argument or any critical evaluation of the works you used as references.
You only lecture because you're incarcerated in Academia and can't deal with the outside world.
"You lost my assignment"
Oh did I now. And I suppose it was my fault you forgot to submit it to turnitin, blackboard or moodle before the deadline as well was it. I didn't lose it, you never handed it up because you never completed it, you cheeky git.
Students who don't attend lectures,
then ask questions about something that's been covered a thousand times in class.
