Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?The salt in milk actually sounds funny.(Original post by Rescue Remedy)
my food got stolen and never replaced. the worst thing though ... they put salt in my skimmed milk ( i didnt know this one morning ) i heated the milk up and wanted to have it in some shreddies .... i spat it all over the place. i was fit to murder everyone in sight. i felt so sick it was horrible.
having to go on a safari hunt just to find a dirty spoon or fork and wash it 20 times before it was fit to be used
i lived with like 5 girls none of them knew how to clean out the shower drain.. one brightspark turned off the fridge over the weekend. they were so messy and it was like the party house on campus. i dont mind having a good time but when they think its funny putting salt in someones milk :O they need help. they cracked 4 eggs and left them in the kettle for like 3 days. they used to leave saucepans full of rotten pasta with blue mould. they put salt in someones sugar when they wanted tea. people not living in the house did this

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?The people who leave like a book and a pencil case on a library desk during revision period then don't come back for hours. So annoying!
Though the uni allows you to move their stuff and take the desk yourself if they don't return for 2 hours now or something, and saw the funniest note the other day " "i've left your bag, coat, and books at reception. You can't reserve a seat FOR 4 HOURS!!!!"" left on a desk haha. -

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?Maybe. But it gets pretty irritating when you're the one they're constantly whinging to about how they can't afford to buy food the next day.(Original post by bestofyou)
thats not annoying, just dedication to the cause.

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?Really? I actually find it much more distracting when I do understand what they say.(Original post by GermanScientist)
People talking during lectures in a foreign language! Not only can I not hear what the lecturer is saying, but I can't understand what they're saying either

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?I was only joking. But I don't find it annoying. I just tell them they are idiots for not buying a £2 bottle of cider and going out pissed, walking home less pissed , less of a hangover the next day and with money in the bank.(Original post by KJane)

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?Same! It's so annoying, a lot of the time especially in first year the teacher could ask a direct question and just be met with stony silence ... I have to say something to spare them the awkwardness!(Original post by skunky x)
This is annoying me so much. I must look like a right nerd because I'm the only one that contributes in seminars. I just get bored otherwise.
So annoying.
Thankfully in second year everyone seems a lot more obsessed with their work so it's better.
I think it's to do with the timidity of the girls on my course, I can somehow imagine that males would speak up more. -

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?If it is reference to the '****ing' letter there is also one from Queens Belfast regarding masterbation in the toliets.(Original post by Vindobona)
I've seen the exact same letter from Durham and St. Andrews on Facebook.
Sounds like a hoax to me.
Universities would never send a letter out talking about such matters. They would beat around the bush saying a bunch of other crap.
To the original author of the first letter though, was a good one. -

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?Well that's fine - I'm more on about the people that just stare blankly at the tutor whenever he or she asks a question. People who say a little, but make good points are good, people who act like they're retarded when anyone talks to them.... Gah.(Original post by InfinitelyVixey)
I'm one of those people who doesn't say a huge amount - I tend to naturally condense what I say into short contributions and everyone else in my group waffles and rephrases a lot, but my tutor always says "is that all you have?" to me...does my head in... -

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?People who moan about people recounting their gap years has to have become more cliche now than people actually tediously going on about their gap years. Yes it may suck when one of us repeats the same story 3 months apart but I would personally take being retold the story about a coach breaking down in the Peruvian desert and having to ride a wild goat to the nearest city whilst high as **** than being told again about the girl who farted loudly in a club in Hull one Friday night.
This is probably the closest thing I have seen so far that irritates me even in the slightest. Makes a nice change from the "when someone doesnt wash a teaspoon having just made a cup of tea" or "when people come back at the weekend drunk".(Original post by KingHighFlush)
People uploading pictures of redbull/other high caffeine drinks to facebook with some comment like "another all nighter for me" gets me ridiculously annoyed. -

Re: Most annoying thing people do at University?I know, its like people meeting for the first time should be full of interesting conversation starters and jump straight into "and what do you think of the situation in Syria at the moment" or asking them their political beliefs...............(Original post by Zangoose)
When the next question they ask after knowing your name is: "So what you studying?"
