What were some pet peeves you had in school?

What are your guys pet peeves during school?

(I’m a senior in Highschool, by the way)

1. I dislike slow walkers or people who stop in the middle of the hallways. I remember one time, I was in the hallways walking to class with my friend, and these girls in front of us were walking soooo slow. The bell rang and we were late to class.

2. When the teacher does random calling to answer questions, I get so scared! Like sometimes, I don’t even know the answer and teachers would pick on me. So I would try my best to avoid eye contact :joy:

3. I also hate doing presentations. I have really bad anxiety so I stutter a lot and it sounds like I would cry whenever I speak in front of the whole class. But if I were to do presentations, I would do it with a group. Not alone.

4. I hate when people just stare at me every time I do something. Like, I don’t really care if they stare at me sometimes, but it gets me mad whenever someone stares at my foot to my face and then to my foot again. That looks so awkward.

5. When teachers give out homework on Fridays. :confused: Not much to say about that.

Anyway, that’s all I have for now. Write down any that you have or had if you already passed Highschool. (You can include college if you’d like)

  • When the teacher (not literally) attacks you because you don’t know the answer to a question that was taught when you were sick/not in school.

  • When the teacher expects you to write an full-blown, detailed, planned, edited essay in 2 days.

  • When people talk to YOU and the teacher tells you off for talking and not the actual offender.

  • When you get paired with your worst enemy. It’s annoying when it’s because your teacher is ignorant of your hatred towards each other, but it’s infuriating if it’s because the teacher does it in the hope that you’ll ‘resolve your differences’.

  1. When that one person you didn’t like in elementary is in the same school as you now.

  2. When you’re tryna sleep in class and you wake up and miss 70% of what the assignment is about.

  3. When you bring food to school and everyone you don’t know asks for some.

  4. When I have to do group projects with people I don’t know and the teacher knows good and well I have social anxiety.

  5. Speaking of social anxiety.When I bump into an upperclassmen and they just stare at me.

  1. When a teacher uses some randomizer that randomly calls out someone’s name to answer a question. I get so nervous…

  2. I HATE presentations with a passion. But the thing is, right after every time I present something, I think, “Wow, that wasn’t so bad after all.” But the next time I have to present something, I get super nervous and anxious all over again.

  3. When a classmate asks to borrow a pencil (or some other object) and they don’t give it back. This happened a lot in middle school for me (I am a sophomore in high school now).

There are more, but these are the ones I can remember at the time :sweat_smile:

OMG THE 4th ONE!

In 10th grade, me and friends were loud and making so much noise during a pep rally. (A fun event) and all these “popular” kids were getting pissed off at us because we were making so much noise.

But the same people who were pissed off at us, are the same people who disrupts the class and disrespect the teacher!!! Like wtf!! Hypocrite much??

  • A teacher who doesn’t get someone in trouble when they should? I’m no goody two shoes but come on if someone is doing something and you just leave it? It’s annoying

  • I hate subs, because all the annoying/smart kids start acting up because theirs a sub. Like are you fr and when I tell them to be quiet or some’ they just roll their eyes.

  • This one goes with number 1. When the teacher just straight away gives you a “punishment” instead of yelling at you and making you understand something/

  • When teachers erase the white board and leave a big amount of marker.

  • When teachers don’t explain correctly?

  • @AK16 reminded me When people that have been with me for like 4 years yell out like “OHMYOGSHHH YOU’RE LEFT HANDED??? IT MUST BE SO HARDDDDDDD!!?!?” Like oh my gosh, have you been on drugs alll these years?? And when I was little my teachers use to fricking call me all the way to the back of the room just to say “WOW, you’re left handed?” I’m like good job sherlock. :roll_eyes:
