To the annoying, unprofessional woman in my class:
I am so sick of listening to you whine and complain about it NEVER being your fault! I have to put up with your f***ing bullshit every single day! You misplace something, but oh, it’s not your fault. You forgot an assignment, but it’s not your fault. You failed an exam, but heaven forbid it’s not your fault..you were sick! I am so freaking tired of hearing you complain about instructors and fellow students!! You are thirty-something years old for christ sakes!! Grow up and act your age!

Guess what: you’re going to encounter people like that your entire life so get used to it. Age does not necessarily denote maturity.
i work with somebody just like the student in the post. he leaves all of his work until the last possible second, then complains (loudly) that he has so much work to do — even though he spends most of his time not doing any work!he forgets things constantly, can’t remember the basics of his job, and blames everybody but himself when he screws up (which is regularly). i agree with poster, it’s tiresome to listen to.
