Seems Legit.


It is legit (I'm Austrian and although I have never been to ****ing itself, I have been to other towns that are very close), but it is not pronounced like the English word.

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


Wasn't there a news story a few years back about parents killing their child when they made him eat a spoonful of salt as a punishment?
That makes me really freaked out when I hear about salt-related 'pranks'.

When people shake their leg whilst in a lecture. As all the chairs are connected in a row, the whole row shakes and it's annoying as hell.

i found a used condom once in a tent ( in those pockets for your mobile ) ... i was 9 it was my tent .. but my brother gave it to his friend for a weekend. so i know how you feel. it could be worse he could have put it in your shampoo bottle or something

The salt in milk actually sounds funny.


if you think it sounds funny feel free to have a spoonful of salt in your breakfast in the morning :redface: ...... i bet you anything in the whole world you wont be able to swallow it and you will feel dogsick for the rest of the day. its a poison its not funny.

it took me over a year and a half to be able to look and even eat some shreddies without feeling sick.

im being sarcastic btw im not cruel enough to suggest for you to eat salt in your breakfast !

this is terrible but i would have rather the lads " cum " in the milk .... then putting table salt into it.


You're joking, right? Ever heard of STIs? Give me salt over a STI any day of the week.

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...............


It's annoying because it happens almost every time you meet someone new so it gets repetitive and ruins the novelty of conversing with new people. Obviously you don't socialise much to realise how annoying it is.

Although it might seem a bit rude, when you meet so many new people its easier to have some way to categorize them all.

I can tell everything i have to about a person by what they study.

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!

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.


I'm afraid not. We were an even split in our seminar group and there was no difference. Just lots of people staring blankly. On about the 4th seminar someone actually asked 'Hang on, are we supposed to read the texts before we get to the seminar?' I have never face palmed so hard.

People say stuff like 'I don't like public speaking' but speaking in front of 8 course mates is not public speaking. It's having a conversation with more than one person.
Masturbating in lectures

EDIT: My course makes everyone horny i guess :colone:

Yeah, at uni I just sit in my room playing world of warcraft and reading comics :rolleyes:

You may be this incredible social machine of a conversationalist but, especially during freshers, when people are nervous and know nothing about each other, it is kind of a given that most conversation is going to start along the lines of "what do you study" or "where are you from". Yes it does get repetitive but usually most people arent such nobbers that they can usually use this to jump start better conversation and so can cope with the minor irritation of repeating without crying.

The people who give pamphlets of night clubs every single day, ok we get it there're clubs in this city :angry:


Even more so when they don't accept that you don't want one!
I once walked past a guy handing them out and he followed me because I didn't say 'no thankyou'...but in my defence, no one else that I'd seen go past him said anything either...

People uploading pictures of redbull/other high caffeine drinks to facebook with some comment like "another all nighter for me" gets me ridiculously annoyed.


Haha yes this one pisses me off, I've got a mate who's always leaving Facebook statuses to let everyone know that he's up late doing work, his one last night at about 1am was: "a one litre bottle of energy drink can only mean one thing, another essay to do, the night is still young" :rolleyes:

I don't understand the reason behind all the sarcasm or why you're trying to form a debate out of this. The thread is asking us about what students do to annoy us.

I stated what I found annoying.

Deal with it, son.

Edit: I bet you made extra accounts to neg-rep me... FAIL

i never heard that story! i feel so sorry for that little kid :frown:
i never swallowed any of it. i spat it straight out. but the taste was in my mouth until the next day.... no amount of listerine would budge it. i must have drank 4 2L bottles of water to feel better. after my morning lectures i ended up crawling into bed and not moving terrible migraine. ok i know you dont need the whole story but i felt terrible im sure if given enough salt you would die. and i actually hate salt never use it. i complained at the college nothing was done. it felt like the worst hangover you could imagine but with salt not alcohol

this is terrible but i would have rather the lads " cum " in the milk .... then putting table salt into it.


You complained and the college did nothing? That's ridiculous! Them tampering with your food/drink would at least fall under the umbrella of bullying!
(Am so annoyed at your uni now! Did you try to make a formal complaint?)

Ugh, my mum never cooked with salt when I was growing up so I'm super-sensitive to it in food
