Teachers
I had great teachers at college, but they did some funny things. My English Language teacher once berated the class for being unwilling to spend £15 on a trip to a conference, complaining that they spent too much on beer and cigarettes. That very lunchtime she was seen buying her fags at the garage and then heading into the pub.

My History tutor was lively to say the least. Somebody in the class had a Winnie the Pooh pencilcase, so he drew Winnie the Pooh on the board and then wrote, "TWAT" underneath. There was a small side office in our room and we once entered the class to hear him absolutely screaming at somebody in there about how he hated students lying. A girl eventually left in tears. We found this so amusing that he would regularly pretend to phone absent students (he had everyone's details on his PDA) from the office and shout at them.

One of my tutors at university was essentially just like the 12th century monks he studied. He was rumoured to own a Scottish island. He also had a huge number of stock phrases which he always used, such as "in the driving seat; on the map; as it were" etc ad nauseum.
