My fiance is a professor and things I've heard about the last few years blow my mind. It's not so much what they are doing exactly, but how shocked and offended they get if she asks them to stop.

My mom is a professor and the shit she tells me about her students is insane. I overheard a call she was having with a student and basically the student was offended that simply scheduling a call wasnt enough to unfail her paper. Basically "I called you to talk about it so I didn't fail, right?

Or the fact that they expect to be able to just turn in things whenever they want irrespective of a deadline...and then get offended when told their paper either won't be accepted at all or docked for each day late it was.
