Teachers making Jeopardy.

So it's a day or so before the big test.  Your teacher decides that they want to have a fun review activity. Heck, they even bothered to get prizes. The main thing that bugs me in these situations is the fact that they never remember/care to form answers, and ask for questions.  They simply throw trivia into a grid and call it Jeopardy.  In my most recent run-in with this problem, the teacher used an online tool that built the game for you.  All he had to do was fill in the blanks.  The game included sound effects comparable to the sound effects of PowerPoint 2000, and he had the volume at the maximum.

People who feel like you have to know their opinion.

I feel like I start off every post with a question.  This one will start differently.  I promise.
Never mind.  I lied.
Ever been sitting in a college or high school class where the teacher is rambling lecturing?  Now, look in the front row.  Chances are that you will see someone with either glasses and clothes that do not fit the current weather, or someone with an oversized backpack stuffed to the brim.  Now, let's say the teacher poses a hypothetical rhetorical question.  Who answers said question?  The person in the front row.  Who then decides to debate the teacher about current events that have no effect on the topic at hand?  The person in the front row.  Who always takes 3 times as long on the quiz for no reason?  The person in the front row.


EDIT: I did make a mistake there.
