Top 10 Most Annoying Things Commonly Said by Teachers

This is a list of some annoying things teachers say to us students, and it involves things teachers say repeatedly that annoy us. Not to be confused with the list of worst things teachers say to students, where the teacher's remarks have actually have a negative impact on your grades, etc.
The Top Ten
I don't care who started it

Killer: *enters your house*
You: *gets a gun and aims*
You: Don't you dare move
Cop: *comes to house*
Cop: Why are you two fighting?
You: He's a stranger and entered my house, so I-
Cop: I don't care who started it! Jail time for BOTH of you!
You: This is unfair! I didn't do anythi-
Cop: Stop making excuses!
*arrest both you and the killer*

My teacher said, Go back and walk, and I did it in front of a whole auditorium. I even heard some kids laughing.

I'm a kid, so this happens at my school all the time. It's so annoying!

Class, the bell does not dismiss you, I do!

I hated this, especially at the end of the day when I wanted to go home. My bus driver would have no shame in leaving me.

I have had teachers make me stay a few extra minutes, making me tardy to another class. That teacher wrote me a tardy and did not care why I was late. I was supposed to be there by the bell. However, a few teachers would dismiss early, which was always nice.

Ah, I remember when the bell rang, and I jolted off, and everyone in that class was staring at me.

If the bell doesn't decide when we leave, then it doesn't decide when we arrive either.

I'd expect that kind of behaviour from her, but I'm really surprised at you

My English 2 teacher said something similar to this when I flipped her off. I'm apparently the first female student who has done this to her.

That's very insulting for sensitive people.

I'm just gonna wait until the class gets quiet

And when the class is totally silent, she is STILL waiting...

Teacher: I'll wait
My class: *stops talking for a sec* "OK!" *goes back to talking*

Tell me the truth right now or else

That sounds like a teacher unnecessarily threatening a student.

Teachers threaten students all the time!

If even one of you doesn't do as I say, all of you will be punished

Collective punishment really sucks.

Something's obviously very funny, so why don't you share it with the rest of us?

No, I don't. That's why I whispered it, duh!

Go back and walk

Whenever my teachers tell me that, I walk until he or she is gone from my sight. Then I RUN.

It's like teachers like to be inefficient.

This sucked if you got caught running in the hallway and they made you go back and walk.

This is your last warning
If you're so clever, why don't you come up here and take the lesson?

Honestly, I could probably teach the curriculum better than my teacher does.

The Newcomers

? Walk to the other side of the building

This was an annoying rule I had to deal with when I was in middle school, and it made no sense whatsoever.

Basically, you couldn't enter or exit through the back of the building, and if a teacher caught you entering from the back, they would tell you to go around the building. Obviously, this would sometimes make you late to class, especially if your class was on the 2nd floor, since you'd have to climb down the back staircase, walk to the other side of the building, walk up the front staircase, and then walk to your class.

? Secrets, secrets are no fun unless you share with everyone

Any teacher who says this should be fired.

Have you ever heard the meaning behind it?

The Contenders
You have earned yourself a detention

I earned myself three lunch detentions when I was in 8th grade, and I regret nothing.

The first one was back in October 2019 for not doing my homework. The second in February 2020 was for flipping someone off because they were laughing at me. The third was also for not doing my homework in either late February or early March 2020.

Honestly, detention isn't as bad as they say it is, and you sometimes even get to draw during your sentence.

Honestly, it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes
No, you can’t go to the bathroom!

Ugh, what if you're having a period? It's quite embarrassing. My friend had her period once and asked to go to the bathroom. The teacher finally said yes. Then she opened a tampon, and the teacher said, "If you want to eat candy, share it with the rest of the class."

Then she pulled out the tampon and said, "Wanna share?" GIRL. SAVAGE.

Your behavior is out of control
Give me your phone

This never happened to me, but I've heard it happening to other kids.

This is for your benefit, so pay attention
Come on. We're waiting.

That is annoying, especially when you want to take your time.

Stop acting like you're in kindergarten
Would you do that at home?

Interrupt the teacher? Yes, because my parents did it to me.

I DON'T CARE!

Most teachers never really care about their students' feelings, anyway.

I've had it with all of you!
Don't worry. You're not in trouble

They're lying when they say this nine times out of ten.

Do worry. You are definitely in trouble.

You're getting paddled by principal
You're in (insert grade here) you're not in kindergarten!!!!
This is a classroom not Sephora or beauty school

My 8th grade math teacher once caught me tattooing myself with a pen in September 2019 and said, "This is a classroom, not a tattoo parlor."
