It grinds my gears when lecturers turn into smartasses because they know more about the subject than you. Obviously, I'm there to learn, stop making shitty jokes at every opportunity to prove your superiority in the field.

You're fine. A professor of mine keeps us hostage for 3 hours straight and talks about her family, the dance classes she attends and how we don't have "any interest in anything" for most of that time. The actual lecture takes about half an hour.

How well are you doing? This sounds like the kind of thing that would be easy to pass.

It's the exact opposite of that. She demands way more than she gives in the exams. She also changes her exam methods midway through the exam itself, alters the questions, ditches stuff altogether. It's a nightmare.
 
Last month I agree with a friend that we're gonna go to the gym together regularly, since my other friend who used to go with me went abroad.

So first day he's late and at the end he's like "We're going tomorrow too, right??", but I didn't want to go for 2 days in a row (Monday-Wednesday-Friday suits me best).

So he's like "I'm gonna go every day". Suuuuuure dude. Suuuureeeee.

So we follow the Monday-Wednesday-Friday routine for one week, and for Monday and Wednesday of the 2nd week, then he bails on Friday, and I go alone. For the next 2 weeks he only showed up once, 45 minutes late, so I had to go alone each time. <_< Also he was late every single time he showed up, although I give him a pass for that since he gives me a ride home every time :P

Obviously he's entitled to not show up, but he promised he will so I chose to go to my 2nd preferred gym to suit him, and now he never shows up.

Mom's manfriend has way too much free time so he used to e-mail stupid innapropriate shit to everyone for years. But with the rise of smartphones he moved to his phone instead and now does it via Viber/Whatsapp/Facebook. So I get to the library yesterday, turn on the laptop and when it booted up I get a Viber message. I open it and ofc, he sent me porn. I managed to close it before anyone saw, and text him "Man stop sending me that stuff on Viber, I'm in the library", which IMO is more than reasonable for me. He's like "I'll never send you stuff again" <_< Then I see both of them in the mall by accident and he's like "WTF so rude" etc etc.

Usually I wouldn't give a fuck, but now I'll have to go smooth things over and pretend I did something wrong (which I didn't) because if I don't, there's a high chance I won't get the tickets for the Scorpions show from my mom/him, because they like blackmailing me <_< (They got the tickets as present but hate metal/rock)

Update: when they got the tickets they told me I'd get them for free (2 tickets, for me and a friend) and that we don't need to buy them. Yesterday, she tells me we need to pay for the tickets otherwise they'll sell them to someone else. I was debating all day whether to buy all new tickets even if I don't have money just to fuck them over for trying to fuck me over, but the show got postponed and they can get their money back instead, I'm not in debt to them and all is well. I'll just buy my own tickets for the new date.

If the Illuminati ever get around to implanting their nefarious RFID/Mind control chips in everyone, I'd appreciate it if they could encode a brain command that says, "If you send someone an email twice and get the same response both times, the response will not be any different by the fifth time. The only thing that will happen is that both sides will wear out their ctrl, c and v keys more quickly." That would be super sweet for sure.
 
Also, got an email asking me to set an autofunction which, if it existed, would make my job superfluous. I think it's really awesome that my company is providing labour opportunities for specially skilled individuals.
 
The most annoying way to begin a presentation: Ask the crowd for the definition of the topic and don't move on until someone actually gives you an answer. Excuse me, but I'm not answering no question like "What is translation?" or "What is language?" We all know what they mean, you know that we know what they mean, so just fucking stop.
 
You know the guy I had ranted here about, the friend who used to be smart but turned to universe doesn't exist NASA CGI lies Adam and Eve uber, and so on? He asked me - what is proof? What. Is. Proof. No greater context, standalone question.
 
I didn't. I just now put 'proof' in wiki, and this is what came out

argument or sufficient evidence for the truth of a proposition

So he'd go down the route of asking what is sufficient. Proof doesn't need to be explained, for me that term is in the same category as "left" and "right". He's an idiot.
