Most annoying thing people do at University?

but I can't understand what they're saying either

It's real

People using phrases like "I miss your face" and "let's do a coffee date soon!". Cringeeee.

The previous post about the semen blocking toilets at manchester uni and the fact that my friend said there was a furore over some semen found on the floor at a UCL hall means this seems to be a more serious problem than I thought. I used to think these "no masturbation" uni notices were a myth. Why in the toilet though? Why not in your room where it's comfier and you have your computer?

There's a woman in one of my classes that is dyslexic and needs some extra help, which is fair enough. But she abuses this to the max. I swear to god she is treated like she is fully disabeled. TBH it's not the free laptop she got, it's not the free £120 smart pen that records what you write that she got, it's not an unlimited supply of yellow paper she gets whilst others have to pay for their own pads and sometimes even notes. It's not the fact she has gets to park her car on campus, whilst everyone else needs to park 20 miles aways. It's not the fact that she is allowed to walk in late to a lecture and demand that I move from my seat because this is the only seat she can clearly see and read the board from (despite there being a vacant seat next to me). It's not even the fact that she is a mature student and only found out she had dyslexia last year, depite being in education about a billion times and now all of a sudden she is treated like she has a severe disability because well let's face she merely finds it slightly harder to read than the rest of us. No it's not any of those things.

What annoys me is that despite only being dyslexic that she gets to choose when she sits an exam, it's the fact that she will have a lecturer spend the whole class tutoring her and thus having no time for anyone else. It's the fact that she is allowed extra tutorials for an exam. It's the fact that all her lecturers barring one will give in to any request she makes. The other day we had an exam on single phase systems, and it's decently difficult stuff, but we had 3 months to prepare for it. However she asked to have an extra week to revise and despite the class lecturer telling her no, the head of department overrulled this and allowed her the extra week. And it get's worse, in the exam you are told specifically to use equations such as voltage division in complex form etc, you are able to find the answer without doing this, but if you do not do it this way and still get the answers right you will not get the marks. Which is quite right as the whole point of that module is to learn these various forms of calculation. But according to her she it's 'too difficult for her to understand' and has asked our lecturer that she be exempt from doing it this way and should be allowed to do it the easier way. However my lecturer was having none of it, and told her no, in a polite manner. He explained if he let her get away with doing the exam the easy way, when she goes into industry and is told to make calculations, they will not bend the rules for her, and she cannot work to the standard they need her to work, then she wont keep the job very long. Too which she was furious and told him he was being unfair and didn't aknowledge her "disability" and then told him to '**** off, you baldy bastard'. He then asks her to leave the class, but she goes to the head of department, makes up some cock and bull sob story that she constantly uses about how unfair it is that she has a "disability" and has too much going on in her life to study as she is a single mum, blah blah blah load of old *******s. Anyway long story short, the head of department is going to allow her to take the exam the way she wants to take the exam. And because my single phase lecturer refused to give her the marks is she doesn't do it properly, the head of department will mark it instead. Which means she will gain the same qualification as me and the rest of my class despite not doing the same level of work.

wow... sounds like she might have aspergers aswell, to be honest... id never ever ever say to someone's face that they are a bastard! well... heh... unless it is deserved




im not at uni yet... but the boyfriend is...

another annoying thing is when they dont turn up for lectures. at all. then sit the test (dont know if they passed it)

apparantly when this guy in question who only comes to the tests went up to the teacher to hand in the test, the teacher said "see you next test".... he was very chuffed with himself for 5 minutess apparantly

Wear flip-flops everywhere in the winter, what is this?

For the cleaners, this:

What the hell is that?!?!?
My bedroom is right next to the kitchen so I know how you feel .
I pretty much agree with everything people have said so I might just add a few stuff I haven't really seen:

-People in seminars who don't bring any material or open their mouths same with people in practicals who sit back an make you do all the work
-Freeloaders who you never see in lectures or hardly go, they only bother to call or talk to you when they need help or results from a practical for coursework.
-I find it weird that now people at university, everyone rushes to go to the gym usually with the intention of losing a few lb and/or getting fit and you get people who always brag about going to the gym. Most0 people still have terrible diets and they can't be bothered walk up a few flights of stairs, girls tend to do this more.

Oh my god. What even is that?!

We think it may have been hot dogs once upon a time. Who's hungry?
