    I'll ask a teacher a question through email(since they say to contact them that way) and I'll say something like "Will scenario X or will scenario Y be the case on this upcoming text/exam" and they'll just be like "Yes".....

    Yes what? Yes scenario X will be the case, or will it be scenario Y? They can't just be like "Yes, it'll be scenario X" or "Yes, it will be scenario Y".....
    Doesn't it defeat the purpose of a test if you know what's going to be on it?

      So, you're not getting a clear answer from your teacher about what specific cases/models will be on the test?

      I am appalled.

        Something that's not starting to bother me is people who to take forever to get food in line at my dining court here on campus.

        I'm not even joking when I literally saw a girl take two minutes to make a bacon sandwich because she couldn't decide on which bacon pieces she wanted. JUST TAKE LIKE FIVE AND MOVE ON. Nope, she was standing there for two minutes, picking up each piece of bacon, looking at it, then putting it back or keeping it. I wasn't in line at the time, but I almost died from laughing because of how long it took. Someone also did this with fries as well, and I about shoved the guy, because it shouldn't take you 60 seconds to get like 15 fries. It should take you like 10 seconds to get it and be done.

        Also, this applies to dressing your sandwich. I've been stuck behind people who want their food to look perfect with lettuce/cheese/tomato/etc. all perfectly aligned, so that it's nice and neat. No, just put it on there and stop messing with your food and go.





        Towards the exam thing, they aren't going to say what's on the exam directly to you, it's basically cheating if they only told you. If they said in front of the class, fair game, but not only to you. I get your point, but the question used as an example doesn't help prove it that well.

          It's not about specific questions or something, it's about format of it(which the teacher flat out told the class if we had questions regarding that, to ask them. Cause when telling people about it, they worded one of the things strange, so I was just asking them to clarify what they said)

            Sounds like they have OCD. My step son is the same way with his food. Everything have to be aligned a certain way on his plate and different foods can't be touching on his plate either.

              My brother is the same way with food. Nothing can touch. The funniest thing is how he eats a burger. He literally eats the top bum and works his way down.

              What a weirdo.

                Wow. Why order burgers though? Should just order the pieces separately.

                  And end up eating/drinking most of it?

                  I hate those guys.

                  My brother lives with us, so anytime he gets something to eat, he'll leave a tiny sliver of food in the container so he doesn't have to wash it or make more.

                  His excuse is always "There was something left in the container, I didn't want to waste it!"

                        x1000000000 if it's a beer. I cry inside every time I see a beer thrown out.

                                I actually don't mind this as much. If it's a case of me offering them some then that's one thing.

                                HOWEVER...What I don't like is when they come back and start asking for seconds, thirds, etc and then next thing you know, they're getting a free meal/wasted off of you. Nah homie, you didn't put in on this so fall the **** back.

                                To also add to this thread:

                                People(and this mainly prevalent among us fellas)who argue about who gets more girls/***sy and will go back and forth on this all night long for no reason other then to gas up their own or each others ego.
