Top Five Most Annoying Things Students Can Do In Class:

Published May 8, 2007

1. Crocheting. I don’t get why this is allowed, even if it is a repetitive and mostly brainless task. School is not a nursing home.

2. Guys Rearranging/Women Adjusting. Guys are still putting a text book over their junk and rearranging down there like they learned in fourth grade. And when will women realize that glancing down slowly at each breast, toggling one and then the other to get the balance right is really distracting?

3. Eating. OK, Ok, a Clif Bar is fine, but an egg sandwich from Pam’s or a bag of chips in an eleven-person class? That’s bullshit. If it stinks up the room (even if it smells good) or its consumption is as loud as the professor’s voice, then don’t eat it.

4. Text Messaging. I do it all the time. No one is as subtle as they think they are. Tucking it into your stomach under the desk is not secretive — there is no earthly reason for you to stare at your crotch like that in class, unless…

5. And anything else on this list: lotioning, hair re-styling, breath checking, nail-cleaning, toothpicking, and lip-glossing.
