Anyone have that kid in your class who just annoys you?

Post Reply New Topic

As if I don't hate math enough this kid, who we will call Bob, makes my geometry class even worse. Today, for example, I finished my test and got up out of my chair to get the bonus sheet for the test. Bob was up there as well and when I reached to pick up the paper, Bob says "Go ahead and get it." "It" referring to the paper. I went to reach for the paper and he slammed his hand on paper. Once again he said "Go ahead take it." I gullibly reached for it and of course he slammed his hand on the papers. I grabbed the paper annoyed from under Bob's hand and walked away angrily. This is just one thing. Bob is funny, but his humorous jokes always make me forget about how big a jerk he is. Playing with my hair, I turn around, he looks at me puzzled, I turn around, he laughs with his friends. I know it's not of good nature to hate someone, but if someone was taking hostages, I would willingly give him up.

that sucks! what grade are you? you take geometry, so are you a freshman? yeah boys that age suck. if it gets really bad then i'd complain, but don't let him bother you. he's probably just insecure about his own life and it's his way of dealing with it. i had one kid doing stuff like that to me. i found out later that he has tourette's and a lot of family problems (i.e. his dad pushes him to be an amazing athelete so he gets really pissed when he doesn't succeed). when people do that just think that it's their way of dealing with how messed up their lives are. i really hope he gets a guitar or something...

I agree. Do they only take it out on you or do they do it to other people as well?

Yeah I have something similar. This girl at uni decided to undermine all my efforts and attempt to humiliate me at every turn. In the first weeks of uni I cracked some jokes her friends thought was funny, but she didn't (her face went all prune-y), so now every time I make a comment in class discussion she'll always argue against it. I don't know about you guys, but arguing against an Aspie is pretty hopeless in my opinion. It's not too serious anyhow, I think it's kind of funny. Lucky for me any kind of serious bullying ended in year 10 - people became focues on their work, and I found my place.

Actually I'm in 10th grade and last year I took Algebra. I often think that he annoys people because he's treated harshly at home, too. Ever since I've known Bob he's annoyed me. The thing is that he's not one of those cliched bullies. He's quite short and has a sort of accent that sounds a little like a Texan accent. We call it the Chalmette accent. Chalmette is a place around New Orleans. I'm scared to approach him though and ask if he lost his house, because he can be really immature at times. Someone gets called down to the Disciplinarian and Bob chimes with the "Ooooooooh..." The whole class tells him to stop.

Mitch,

Your joke even though funny may have embarassed the poor girl....and
I would not take her arguing with your comments as an attempt to humilitate.

Why dont you try to treat her like you want to be treated(as a human being)
with the right to her opinions which may be different than yours. After class
sometime why dont you ask, in a friendly way, about one of her opinions that differs from
you and why she feels that way and just listen and dont interrupt and then when shes finished
say "I respect your opinion even If I dont agree with it"

She may not be trying to bully you, she may be trying to either
a) hold her own against someone who embarassed her
or
b) trying to show you she is your equal
or
c) trying to get your attention.

'Bob' would've gotten his head knocked off if he did that to me. I do not care what your circumstances are, you have no right to bother other people like that!

There's a girl in my english class who I find annoying. She's very loud and very stupid. Also she laughs a lot and it sounds like a squeeky coffin being opened from within. She sits next to me, and since I mostly always know the answers she talks to me a lot. Lots of people think I'm funny so she laughs a lot too.

That's about it.

in college/university this improves in some ways, but not others. I find certain people in my classes annoying, often for the comments they make in class. There's always one overachiever asking redundant/inane questions that I think aren't important, or are self-explanitory. Another thing I hate is people who make offensive comments in political studies classes, but whom I can't make a rebuttle to for fear of reprisal. If you make any viewpoint known in a class like this except for the "liberal-left"-of center, you're not doing yourself a favor, and someone will probably try and rip you up. I live in canada, and trumping the rights of the majority in favor of the rights of the minority is one of our national pastimes. I hate people who think they are so smart just because the did well in high school, and had their parents or teachers fawning over them, and now they think they are entitled to automatically become doctors or judges ... you get a bunch of spoiled middle-class kids(who've never experienced the real world before) in a college, what do you expect...

oh yeah. there's someone in a few classes of mine that I've known a few years. This person is very loud and tends to annoy most people s/he comes into contact with. sadly, I believe s/he really tries to be nice sometimes. this person definitely knows they are loud and annoying and bossy. the only time it's a problem is because this person feels some sort of direct sort of responsibility for me. I didn't ask for it. (our school has a problem with fire drills. way too many of them.) so after every drill s/he gets out of whatever class s/he's supposed to be in and comes looking for me. and I've asked this person not too. in fact, I've told this person to stop coming to find me.

and this person came to find me today. and I ended up seeing this person during 3 of the 4 drills we had today. (okay, so it's a really big fire drill problem...that's not the point of this post)

what can I do to get this person to keep his/her annoying self AWAY from me when I'm so close to meltdown and losing patience? I guess I'm lucky in that this person has good intentions (either that or just wants out of class)

Today in Geometry class we had a subsitute and of course she did not care what we did as long we were not sleeping. One Bob's friends was talking with a group of people instead of doing the four pages of work our teacher gave us to do. I have no problem with the kid but his laugh...everytime he laughs he has to end the laugh with a loud intake of air. It's like this hissing sound and I felt like I was about to explode. Of course half of the class were not doing the pages because they always seem to not understand what we are doing. I mean come on! I understand if you don't understand the hard things but someone had to have ratios explained to them. The only class that I really like in school is religion.

Theres this one girl that is social brained and stupid, and when I say stupid, I mean stupid! She talks without a single thought in her "brain" and dose this contently like she needs to breath and to the point when it distracts others and myself.
In computer lab in math she was seated right next to me. One of the first things she says is the infamous line "Why are you so quite?!11", this set up my opinion on her real fast.

From there she talked and questioned about her work. She is hopeless with her work, I could do the work shes doing from a year or two ago. And then she called herself stupid but in a careless way and said she was going to drop out of school when she can and marry some guy (loser). I soon tryed to ignore her but then she keeped trying to get my attention like we are suppost to socialize or something.
The whole period was a waste and i bearly got any work done, thank goodness this didn't go against my grade.

And theres a couple of social brained bigots in my science class that always use "gay" as an insult. They use it so much like its their favorit word. This offends me so because I'm bisexual and support the GSA. Theres this one guy especially that uses it and in reality hes a complete moron and I'm not saying this because I'm mad.

In ower history class we had to do a project how bills get turned into constitutional laws or something like that.
There was making a speech to support your bill and then the class voted in three different sections. He did his on making gay marriges illegal and used no back up because there is none in the first place and hes a moron. His didn't even get through the first section.

They don't know I'm bisexual, but if they did they wouldn't ever use that word again like they used to.
You'd get it if you knew me...

Black Sheep:

that sounds a lot like a history thing we did. ours was "Model UN" - finding out about and modeling how the United Nations works. some of us who wrote really good papers had to get up and give speeches (unfortunately, that was me).

this was actually all on the Day of Silence (www.dayofsilence.org) and the groups we met in voted on whether or not to "pass" each paper/speech. because of my speech problems, somebody else read my speech. I was also participating in the day of silence to show my support for the GSA. because I didn't read my speech, I think a lot of people refused to vote for it. and I learned something about the cost of supporting such issues. But you know what? it's worth it.

I've learned that you just need to be an example. Speak out about how that isn't really an insult. and don't worry about some of the morons who write horrid papers. we had one "popular" get a paper past that wanted to stick everyone with AIDS in a big "AIDS bubble" for spreading AIDS and not taking it seriously. you just gotta ignore those people, don't give them the extra attention they desire.

Yeah people in my Year 9 class often shout out and say meaningless and whimsical words like "Mac" (making fun of someone's name) and "Piot". People do it repeatedly as if they are obssessed with the words.
When we have a substitute teacher people think that it is an appropriate time to shout out for no reason and lie about doing bad things in class and about doing work. They often start up a negative comment about someone and the whole class chatters away!
People often also ignore teachers' commands, like they have to say "Be quiet" about 30 times and the pupil responsible still doesn't stop talking! One girl in my science class (when we were doing a practise SAT paper) was told to be quiet by a substitute teacher, and 3 seconds later she starts singing! (She would probably go on Pop Idol - but with 'Idol' spelt 'Idle') It's like the teacher wasn't even there!
It just strikes me that people just can't grow up and get on with their work. These people never use 50% of their brains (or most likely all of it) since they don't at all use any logic.
These kinds of things make me look like one of the most mature people in my class (I am very mature for my age). This is because about 25% of the class are disruptive delinquents, and about 55% more laugh or talk about it like it's a good thing/funny, even the smart pupils often do this.
There are 27 people in my class (including myself) and it's a pity that about 24 of them can be idiots at times.
My mature points of view alienated me in Year 8 and I didn't really have many friends. Since everybody's thinking "It's funny that people shout out and provide some entertainment to the class", I'm thinking, "Shouting out in class is completely disorderly and is not allowed in class, but these idiots think that rules are made to be broken."

If anyone is annoyed by a particular person like:

YES! Many kids in my junior and senior year in hgh school were like this. I loathed it because they acted like idiots and still did better in the course than I did.

Yes, I had that kid in my class who just annoys you.

I was that kid.
