In a survey of 50 KU students, respondents listed (in their own words) their top five student-behavior pet peeves. Here are some of the best and oddest answers:
“People riding bicycles on the sidewalk, the sun and being sober.” –Lloyd Biddick
“People walking six across with their group of 20 friends blocking the entire sidewalk.” –Anonymous
“That person in class (there's always one) who feels the need to interject their thoughts and opinions into everything, all the time, regardless of whether they're intelligent, relevant or wanted.” – Anonymous
“1.Person that repeats answers — that guy that always says the answer right after its been given as though he knew it but just missed the deadline; you don't know what the categorical imperative is. Shut up. 2. Omg girl — not everything is oath-worthy; take it easy 3. Guy that misses class and bitches about the difficulty of the tests — it wouldn't be as hard if you did any of the coursework 4. Loud music guy — I like Dethklok as much as anyone else, but I have a test in the next ten minutes and the lyrics to "Hatred 'Copter" is not on it 5. Chatty chick--I know that your spring break in St. Louis was ‘OMG SO AWESOME,’ but I'm taking notes and I'm afraid I might stab you in the eye if you talk about how much you hate Jennifer's new boyfriend again.” -Sheila Sadeghi
“When the UDK doesn't print the soduku and crossword so that it can be folded perfectly in half.” – Rob Jackson
“When a person sits at a table for four in the underground, and puts his backpack in one chair, his coat on another, and spreads his stuff over the last two spots to prevent somebody from sitting down. Would it kill you to eat lunch with a stranger for fifteen minutes?” – Anonymous
“I HATE getting tickled by strangers on Wescoe Beach. I don't like listening to people talking before class about how hard they partied last weekend, how they have mono and how their crush is so frustrating.” – Cooper Merrill, Leawood senior
“When two or more people walk side-by-side on campus; thus taking up the entire sidewalk, and not moving over to let the one person pass by. To this I usually respond with the, 'oops, did I just slam my shoulder into you' method.” -Taylor Hrabe
“Walking in front of the oncoming bus, bicycle, or car (Do you think you aren't made of flesh)? Also, writing on the white board with red ink in Budig lecture halls. I can't read that if I was in the first five rows. What makes them think I can read it in row 40?” – Anonymous
