(1) Your chain smoking makes you reek all day, everywhere. I can almost see your odor following you the same way Pigpen's dust cloud followed him. Quit smoking, bathe, and do your laundry--preferably with detergent that's unscented so my nose (and others') can take a break.

(2) Really, Rick? Marriage is a "privilege" and one that gay men and lesbians shouldn't enjoy because our relationships are not beneficial to society in the same way heterosexual people's are? Thanks for showing me how much deeper and more pernicious your hatred of LGBT and queer people is than I even realized. Oh, and good luck on getting rid of that telling obsession with gay male sexuality.

(3) You're a great person. Believe in yourself, and you'll go far. Right now, the only thing holding you back is your conviction that everyone else is better than you at your chosen profession, happier than you in their personal lives, and just generally luckier than you. Stop thinking that way, 'mkay? Thanks.

In your talk tonight, I saw something I never thought I would see. I saw how a single dissertation, if it goes horribly wrong enough, can fracture a department and break a researcher. Too bad that was not what your talk was about. By the way, I'm still offended by what you, a woman, said feminism was. I only read the one chapter in the General Theory Book and I could have given a better answer than you. One that would not offend everyone in the room.

It's clear that you get your jollies from making up new nonsensical "rules" just so you can shoot down all the people who are suddenly breaking them.  You're not fooling anyone.

Doing a very loud half-@$$ed job of something in fits and starts because you only sometimes decide you care about it is very annoying to those of us who are in there doing the work steadily every day.

You have worse reading comprehension than my students.  And that's saying something.  How on earth did you manage to earn a graduate degree?

Oops!  I just realized that your "selected publications," like your "selected awards," like your "selected presentations" is selected only in the sense that there are no others.  Silly me!

No I will not. You don't get to dictate how I allocate my time.

The whole helpless act ceased being cute when you hit puberty.  When you are over thirty it's just annoying.

Listening to you talk makes me feel like someone is physically sucking knowledge out of my brain and incinerating it.

And it's even worse when you are in your sixties.  Ugh!

You're the 5th person today to do this: it's spelled "scheduling" not "schedualing"

Nope, still not buying it.  Package it as you wish but I know BS when I see it.

How do you (collectively, more than one, faculty colleagues) hold a job "teaching" people, when you seem utterly incapable of reading and understanding perfectly clear prose yourself/ves?  Astounding, and more than a little disturbing.

So discussing your presentation schedule with you over a copy of the syllabus, and then emailing you another copy of the syllabus, and then forwarding powerpoints for you to review while preparing your presentation, AND discussing it in person yet again last week.... none of this was clear enough for you to realize in time that you were scheduled to present today?

Oh, in that case, my apologies! Clearly your lack of preparation is entirely my fault. I should have given you more warning.

Look, guys.  This class is not supposed to be easy.  Yes, the answer to your question is the same as it was two minutes ago when I answered it from the student sitting next to you.  Yes, that's the way you deal with fractions; the same way as when you took the class that's a pre-requisite to this class.  Why yes, next student, that is in fact the way you handle this fraction; exactly the way we handled the fraction in the last example, and the example before that.  What's that, third student?  You want to know how I handled the fraction in the last example?  For the love of Gdd, people, are any of you capable of listening to me for more than 30 seconds at a time?

Sheesh.  And you all want to go on to take Calculus.  Yeah, I'm sure.

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

But..but...I heard from my roommate's cousin's friend that Calculus is just memorizing like 20 formulas! Are you saying...there may be FRACTIONS?!
