There it is.
That noise.
Again.
You search the room for where it's coming from. The dirty culprit is a few rows down from you, but you can hear the noise loud and clear. You have to sit through it for another hour.
We've all been there. Ask anyone. We all have our pet peeves while we are sitting through the longest, most boring class. And the worst part? We can't do anything about it. We have to sit through it for the entire class because we're paying like a million dollars to hear this professor lecture. However, our focus will not even slightly be on the professor, but the noises from within the classroom.
1. The Paper Crumbler
They search through their backpack, if you can even call it that, picking through the torn paper, getting it out and putting it on their desk until they find what they're looking for. If we are lucky, they will just quietly pick everything up and throw it away. But no. They pick it all up, piece by fricking piece and un-crumble it, slowly putting every single sheet back in their backpack.
2. The Gum Smacker
They are 3 rows down, 4 seats to the right and we can hear them loudly smacking their gum. It is green, probably smells like Spearmint, and we hate it. We hate gum just because of the Gum Smackers in the world. We're pretty sure we can see the spit flying from their mouth. Wow, I feel sorry for the people in front of them.3. The Pen Clicker
Click. Click. Click. Click. FREAKING CLICK.
Oh my goodness, we will think. Why doesn't he get it? We are all staring, no, glaring at you. That means to stop. Pen Clickers slowly entertain themselves throughout the entire class while slowly killing us with every click. Pen clicking is only okay when we do it and make our own beats.
4. The "Cute" Couple
They sit one row behind us and they are annoying. They giggle and laugh throughout the entire class. No, we probably aren't paying attention to the class either, but at least we are quiet. Please be a cute, quiet couple.
5. The Eater
Every class, they have food. Maybe they didn't schedule themselves a lunch, maybe they are just always hungry, but we really hate hearing them chew. The Eaters are probably the worst. Especially when they finish all of their three-course meal and large coke. They eat the ice out of their cup and crunch, crunch, crunches all class period. We would gladly buy you food, or even eat with you, just please not in class.
Yeah, we've all been there.
Never-ending, long classes can be terrible.
P.S. I'm an Eater. Catch me in your local ULM class.
