Most annoying thing people do at University?

So I'm going to University next academic year. Grades provided of course!

So I would like to know what one thing people do at University that they didn't do in school/college that's really annoying.

E.g. Typing loudly in lectures; Stealing your food from the fridge; Pretending like they don't care about their results.

food from the fridge is a rather annoying one.

And people that go on like they are special cause the are not UK students. The amount of times I've heard the same person highlight the fact they are from ****ing Austria/Austrian or don't have/do that in Austria etc. is doing my ****ing head it. The worst is they have no Austrian blood and have an South-English accent.

The people who turn up to lectures and spend the whole time complaining about being there. Please, feel free to leave at any time.

Texting in lectures.
I know this isn't a new thing, people texted in lessons at school, but it annoys me then and still annoys me know. If you're not interested in being there, you don't have to go. Now stop annoying everyone around you with tapping noises, flashing screens and the occasional vibration/ring tone.

I'm pretty sure that the loudness of your typing has more to do with the particular laptop/keyboard than a persons' actions.

Yeah...There has been one occasion in which i did have to text once as a matter of family urgency, but in those situations my lecturers don't usually mind. I can't stand it when people constantly text though, they're paying to be there!
