The Student Room Group

Most annoying thing people do at University?

Scroll to see replies

They're innumerable; the people who vomit all over the toilet and then don't clean it, girls who put their tampons in the toilet (my personal favourite), the constant overuse of the North vs. South jokes (it's tiresome), the lack of conversation from international Asian students, 'lad', the use of the word 'banter', the laundry machines never being available, the internet always being down on Sunday nights when people realise that they've got ****loads of work to do, people malting and masturbating in the showers which ultimately clogs up the plugholes, the horrible little ****s who go and tell reception or the warden when people are still awake and talking past 11.30pm, the vermin that steal food and use other people's cutlery/utensils without their permission and, most importantly, the evil, evil people who set off firealarms at 4am for laughs.

Also, people who get in lifts to go up one floor deserve a special kind of punishment.

Obviously not there are several mistakes with grammar and spelling.


No need to be a buzzkill and shatter the illusion though :frown:
University annoys me in general.

Your flatmate putting all of their used dishes on the kitchen counter, only to turn round and ask you when he needs a plate "do you have any spare?". And also leaving for the christmas holidays, WITHOUT cleaning his full set of dishes so you come back to mould. I really hope he doesn't see this.


that is ****ing brilliant, I'd have that in a picture frame.

Same! :frown:
I don't understand why people do courses that they obviously have no interest in.

Exactly. And they don't do the reading and then claim seminars are boring and the teachers don't provide enough structure.

Think they're missing the point.

Whatever the going stipend for a Forensics PhD at Manchester, something tells me it isn't nearly enough.


"Rhymes with booking" at the beginning made me giggle :tongue:

Exactly. Do not understand.

And people who just say 'Yes, I agree with everything said before.'

NO. HAVE AN OPINION.

My boyfriend's corridor in halls put a letter "from the university" under the door of one of their friends saying that he needed to close his curtains when "alone" with his girlfriend as they were getting complaints from rooms opposite. He freaked out for ages afterwards!

People who like to go into monologues in tutorials.
Protein shakers!

I dunno if its the irritating shaking noise I hear several times a day, the endless white dust, or just the pointlessness that annoys me!
